This is a lovely cottage, set just a short walk away from the harbour area. The balcony affords fantastic views down & up the valley. A bonus of its position is the peace & quiet, enabling a very peaceful night's sleep in the comfortable double bed. It is well stocked with all of the every day essentials you would need. We were also provided with tea, coffee, milk and cake, left for our first 'cuppa'. A nice touch especially as trouble was taken to provide Gluten free products. These were not requested but the requirement must have been picked up during a telephone conversation. An extremely thoughtful touch, that says it all. I would suggest holiday makers take a few more emergency food items than they ordinarily do. We would normally have “eaten out” on most days, but were unlucky to be hit by some extremely rainy evenings. This made it preferable to eat in and our meagre supplies soon ran out. We were unable to find any local convenience shops to replenish our stock….. be aware !!!

We received the warmest welcome possible and were made to feel so special! The cottage was absolutely beautiful. It had obviously been recently renovated and very comfortable while retaining all of its charm and character. It was very well furnished and equipped - comfortable beds, excellent showers and a kitchen which had everything we needed. There were incredible views from every window, and particularly the balcony, where we spent several evenings watching the sun set over the harbour. Beverley was so kind and helpful, offering us advice on things to do and see in Lynmouth and the surrounding area. There were plenty of guides and maps in the house to help us plan our days. We would love to visit again in future and will treasure the memories we have of our stay!

  We had another fantastic stay at The Stables in Lynton. It’s a lovely place, perfect for both people and pets, and it’s well set up for disabled access and living. The downstairs area is spacious and comfortable, while upstairs, the accommodation is cleverly split into two wings, each with two bedrooms and a bathroom—ideal for families or groups. It’s incredibly well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, and I have to say, the presentation was immaculate (and I do mean immaculate—not a speck of dirt anywhere!). I could quite happily move in permanently. Lynton and Lynmouth have long been our go-to UK holiday destination, offering a little bit of everything—stunning scenery, fantastic walks, and friendly people. The local shops and restaurants are great, and we always treat ourselves to a takeaway from The Spicy Mare, which we’d highly recommend. The Stables is a hidden gem and makes for a really enjoyable holiday. It’s also a great base for exploring further afield, with plenty of options for day trips to other coastal destinations and places of interest nearby. We’ll definitely be back!

  We loved our stay at this apartment, Gillian made us feel very welcome and at home.

  If you like period features, huge sash windows, spectacular sea views, comfortable furnishings and quirky vintage decor, this is the place for you! There is a private path direct from the house that zig-zags down through the steep hillside garden, giving a three minute walk direct to Lynmouth harbour front and a great pub. Another walk, up a tarmac public path to Lynton, is possibly the steepest I've ever walked up, but give it a steady 10 minutes and you soon get to the shops and other pubs there. Don't be put off by the electricity meter, we only used about £7 in a week (including the £5 already in when we arrived) and we cooked most nights, although I imagine that heating in colder months would use quite a bit more. The apartment has its own private access as well as the shared access through the reception area. There's also a terraced seating area just outside the windows to sit out on warmer days. A great value stay.

  Perfect location a little way up the gorge so great views but also very quiet. Beautifully renovated cottage with plenty of space, all the mod cons while retaining a lot of character features (heated bathroom floors a particular bonus!)

Beautifully renovated cottage with plenty of space, all the mod cons while retaining a lot of character features (heated bathroom floors a particular bonus!) No problems with parking, just a few minutes down the hill and a parking permit allowed access to a few different car parks which was helpful. Great places to eat including The Blue Ball at Countisbury and The Ancient Mariner in Lynmouth. Close to the many attractions in North Devon and plenty of walks on Exmoor with incredible views.
