  • "BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT WITH A STUNNING VIEW Tastefully furnished and decorated throughout and very comfortable."

    Kitchen appliances all worked well, although a larger fridge freezer would be an improvement. There were some maintenance issues, which should be easily rectifiable: We found it impossible to operate the lounge blinds and very difficult to open/close the curtains in the main bedroom. Door lock main ensuite - missing its knob. Dripping tap in utility. NOTE OF ABOVE LEFT FOR HOUSEKEEPER Apart from the above, everything was wonderful and we would like to thank you for the generous welcome pack.

    The views from the living room and bedrooms are amazing. Bayview Tower is very luxurious, spacious livingroom and bedrooms.

  • "The property location was phenomenal, with the sweeping views of the coastline maximized by the large lounge windows and patio on the ground floor to the large windows on the first floor bedroom and additional balcony on the top floor."

    The kitchen facilities were superb for us to cook when we wanted to and had enough pots/pans/plates and utensils to cover most. The whole accomodations was clean and accessible very simple. This property is a gem.

  • "If not wanting to leave is the ultimate mark of a great holiday, Bayview Tower made the grade completely."

    Not only is it extremely well equipped with everything that is needed for a wonderful self-catering holiday but it provides a great feeling of grandeur, with its fixtures and fittings as well as its superb location. Situated in a beautifully peaceful location with magnificent views over Lynmouth and along the valley of the East Lyn, there was very little more we could have asked for - other than no rain, maybe!

    In fact our friends first time doing this style of holiday and they are talking about another cottage type holiday and maybe returning to this property . We did need to contact maintenance couple of times but matters resolved fairly quickly The views from property are over whelming and the closeness to the town where there are some good non chain stores to browse . Ate twice in crown pub where food was hot and tasty and service friendly

  • "Amazing place."

    I would find it hard to find fault with anything. One thing that was excellent was that as accommodation for 4 guests it is often the case that in the kitchen you get 4 of everything. Here there was china for 8. This is not only convenient for the guests but also saves electricity as there could be the temptation to put on a half full dishwater each meal time. Overall a wonderful stay in an amazing historic building. Thank you

    Dear Linda, Thank you very much for the great feedback. We were delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Bayview Tower and we hope to welcome you back at some time in the future. Kindest regards, Yasmin & David Property Owner

    It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The bottle of bubbly was a nice surprise! Perfectly positioned for walks on the Coast path, Lynmouth, Valley of the Rocks and Watersmeet. We are already planning our return visit.

  • "A good property."

    There is, however, a problem with the apartment (and probably the rest of the building). We found a dead mouse in the top bedroom (photo's can be supplied) and were worried by the hygiene implications of an infestation which was quite upsetting.

    Thank you for the feedback and we were sorry to hear about the mouse that you found next to the balcony door. Thankfully the housekeeper was on hand to assist and having carried out a thorough check of both the apartment and building, we found no other signs of mice. Sadly we can only assume it managed to come in whilst the door was open and is not an ongoing concern. Kind regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

    As other reviewers have said, Bayview Tower has incredible views from all floors and the patio. It is also a short off-road walk to the wonderful Valley of the Rocks, and the beautiful riverside Watersmeet walk is also easily accessible (the funicular railway is literally round the corner). Lynton itself is a lovely little town with good places to eat and a delightful small cinema. Highly recommended.

    Thank you for the great feedback and we were very pleased to hear you had a great time. Very good of you to give such useful information for other interested parties. We love the Valley of the Rocks and highly recommend it as well. Property Owner

  • "The views were amazing and the accommodation spacious."

    WiFi excellent. Towels and robes very nice. There are some things that could be improved; lighting in the living area was very bright and some lamps would be good, the kitchen equipment was somewhat limited. The fridge is small. I don't like the signs about the place which give an institutional feel. We had a lovely week and enjoyed our stay.

    Thank you for the constructive feedback and for the suggestion of lamps in the living area. I understand what you are saying here and will look at getting some softer lighting added for the next season. I will also look at the signs to see if they can be made a little more user friendly.

    Views amazing. Cleaners had cleaned floors and bathrooms but hadn’t dusted as dust thick on tv and bedroom furniture. Other than that it’s probably the best apartment we’ve ever stayed in.

  • "The view is fantastic and makes up for some of the issues with the property- it’s all quite shabby and in places actually dirty."

    Everything had a musty smell especially the bed linen, as if it hadn’t been dried properly. The sofas were full of crumbs that had not been cleaned out for a while. The hot water situation, which I had to ring the housekeeper about, just doesn’t last for 4 showers and the gowns were far too small for the average adult!

    Thank you Rachel for your feedback, The views are fantastic and I’m pleased you enjoyed them during your stay. As for issues with the cleanliness of the apartment, we really must be made aware of these at the time. We pay an awful lot of money to refresh the apartment between each guest and as you noted there are clear instructions and contacts available in case you are in any way dissatisfied. Please use these contacts as we want you to be happy with your Holiday Home. The addition of dressing gowns is an added benefit for your comfort and again the housekeepers can provide larger ones where required. Communication is key here. Kind regards, Yasmin & David.

    It lived up to our high expectations. Everything we needed was provided although we didn’t eat in very often as there are good restaurants in Lynton and Lynmouth. A lovely base for visiting National Trust properties and RHS gardens. Only one small suggestion- maybe lighter tog duvets in the summer months. Also there was lots of glassware but only one proper wine glass. We rarely return to a property, but in this instance I think we will be back.

  • "Bay View Tower scored 98/100!"

    !! It was everything we hoped for - the quality of the property, including outstanding cleanliness and furniture and equipment, the stunning views of course, and also the genuine friendliness and efficiency of the maintenance staff. The loss of 2/100 was down to the quilt on the top floor!! It was heavy, misshapen, lumpy and unbearably hot. I resorted to pushing it as far down the bed as possible, having the windows open and just having my dressing gown over me. Easily solved, I'm sure, by a newer more lightweight quilt. It's a minor irritant. Bay View Tower was sensational - a very special place for a luxurious and relaxing holiday. Thank you so much for the welcome of wine, chocolates and milk too - a most thoughtful touch.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. 98%, we are very pleased with that. We also appreciate the feedback about the duvet and will arrange for that to be changed over. Thanks again for being great guests. You are welcome anytime. Property Owner

There was only one thing I wasn’t happy with and that was a blood stain on the bedroom carpet which could have been from the people before us and maybe didn’t have time to carpet wash? But overall a great place to stay and would definitely Recommend it.

  • "Hi, the break was fantastic it's a lovely place, just some things for improvement to help others."

    - some of the furniture was worn to the point where foam and the chair fillings were exposed, maintenance could be improved there was an attemp to put more lighting in the top bedroom but it was still v dark where the main lights weren't working. Some of the bedding/towels smelt a bit fusty as did the inside of the wardrobes. The telescope seemed to be a cosmetic feature rather than something that you could actually use which was disappointing considering the beautiful views. The blocked exit lane due to fallen tree looked like it had been there for many months which was an issue as you had to use the steep narrow entrance on a sharp bend to exit, my car wasn't too large and skidded everytime I exited. If the ground had been icey it would have been impossible and in a larger car I don't see how they would have got out, it was a little stressful. Couldn't find a tumble dryer despite a note saying it was by the bins and finally there was a sign on the door to say that there was a rear entrance to the property but couldn't find it, there was no signage by the bins. Fabulous place but could be improved nothing worse than having facilities you can't use, oh yes and the coffee machine had pods for a different type of machine and no instructions left for the machine that had clearly been replaced. WiFi also intermittent and could not work out how to use the central heating so used plug in heaters that were available. Despite all of this I would go back the views were incredible and a great location for shops. Hope that helps Cathryn

    Very clean, every need for a holiday ‘home from home’ thought of, very comfortable first floor bed with a huge bath in the en suite, powerful shower in the top room, plenty of garden furniture on the private patio! The welcome gifts were a very nice touch and to top all of this, an Alexa in the lounge & bedroom! We don’t own an Alexa so thoroughly enjoyed evenings listening to songs from our youth. Perfectly situated for fabulous views of the bay, obviously high up being in Lynton, we were grateful for the funicular railway to get us down into Lynmouth. £3.20 each, each way - an amazing experience. If after 6pm we would get a taxi back up for £3.50. Thank you so much for a holiday full of wonderful memories.

  • "I have given a low score on cleanliness as there was a problem with the top bedroom."

    The room was very cold and there was an infestation of flies on the bed and at the patio window which caused us a lot of distress.. There is obviously a serious problem here which should be addressed immediately. Having spoken to the cleaning company, I was told that a pest control company had been to the apartment 2/3 weeks previously. The problem had obviously not been sorted. I found it quite telling that one day a pest control vehicle was parked next to me and was obviously in an adjoining property I find it difficult to understand that you can offer this property for rental knowing full well that there is a health problem. A check on the property had obviously not been taken. It seems to me that you are only interested in taking people's money regardless of any issues as you must know about the state of the room. I should not be expected to sort this kind of issue out when I am on holiday. I came away to relax, not to sort serious problems out. This has really left me with a very low opinion of Sykes.

    Thank you for your feedback, we were sorry to learn that you had experienced issues with flies during your stay and that you felt them to be a health issue for you, we confirm that we have previously had pest control out to deal with a 'Cluster Fly issue' that we were made aware of.

    Bay Tower looked and proved to be a superb choice for our break. The property led from the old hotel entrance and first impressions were of opulence and fascinating fittings. The advertisement did the property justice and even the small necessities were to be supplied. The bedrooms were great and three late seventy year olds coped with the stairs easily. The provision of all necessary fittings like dishwasher, washing machine etc made staying here even more satisfying. Walking the 20 yards back up the driveway puts you on the Valley of the Rocks coast path providing even more spectacular panoramas of this wonderful coastline. I recommend this special place highly.

    I will be recommending it to whoever I talk to as I absolutely loved staying there. Honestly wish I could wake up to that morning view every morning. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you Adam OKeeffe

    Great walking along the coast path without having to move the car and lots of high quality pubs to discover.

  • "Property was in a spectacular setting and was generally high spec and well provisioned."

    Strange there were a few unfinished jobs: a bit of skirting missing here an unfinished cupboard there but these in no way detracted from a lovely stay AND fantastically comfortable beds. But be warned the hills are steep round here, tough walking and cycling.

  • "This was a delightful property which was beautifully furnished and equipped."

    The property had everything we needed including a dishwasher, washing machine and very large TV with great WiFi access. We were made very welcome by both the owners and housekeeper. Bedding was provided which was good quality and the beds were very comfortable. The house is in a lovely location and the views amazing. It was very quiet but near the village centre so easy to get to pubs and village shops. We loved this property and would highly recommend.

  • "Lovely situation, beautifully furnished and maintained, huge comfortable rooms and our hosts couldn't have provided more comfort and facilities."

    You do depend on some decent weather for the views in the pictures! Lynton is a pleasant place, very quiet in winter, and the tourist office were open and friendly even in mid-December. Good eating places in both Lynton and Lynmouth - steep walk to Lynmouth if the cliff railway is not in operation! With both rooms having complete privacy and own bathrooms and televisions everywhere, this would make an excellent venue for two couples who want their own space.

    In addition the owner failed to mention the building work going on next door, with banging through the wall and rubble being tipped into the skip outside. We have emailed the owner separately with details of the problems we found.

The property

Set in Exmoor National Park, this luxurious three storey, grade II listed, holiday cottage is exquisitely located on North Devon’s breathtaking coastline with an elevated position, boasting panoramic sea views over the Bristol Channel.

Having once stayed in Lynton Cottages, the stunning view so inspired the author CS Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia that he wrote in his journal, “The view from the balcony was beyond everything I have ever seen” (Lynton, 1925).

Set in one of the prettiest coastal locations in England, with opportunities to explore Exmoor National Park and its magnificent natural beauty, this picturesque cottage exudes style and character from top to bottom.

Perfect for couples, or a family of four, the accommodation boasts very spacious bedrooms and an open-plan living space with free super-fast WiFi throughout! The kitchen is equipped with quality furniture and fixtures, and additionally a fridge/freezer and washing facilities are located in the utility room for convenience.

There is also a ground floor cloakroom just off the utility room.

Relax together in the sitting area and feast your eyes on the stunning vistas out across the water that so moved CS Lewis.

The rugged scenery envelopes this fairy tale property with a picture postcard setting.

Bring the view even closer by throwing open the glass doors to the patio and enjoying the fabulous view from your private terrace.

The first floor is host to an impressive hand-carved superking sized four poster bed, in a room overlooking the bay, with an en-suite bathroom.

On the second level you will find another luxury, superking sized bed in a light and airy room with beautiful exposed beams.

From here you can step out on the to balcony and enjoy more of the delightful seascapes from a seated position which catches the late afternoon sun.

Lynton offers shops, pubs and cafes galore, art galleries and craft shops, a wide variety of outdoor pursuits, and spectacular walks for all abilities in some of the most beautiful surroundings in the UK.

The beach and picturesque coastal town of Lynmouth can be easily accessed on foot from the cottage (no need to move the car!) by use of the historic funicular cliff railway which is the highest and steepest totally water-powered railway in the world!

The terminal for this exciting and unusual form of transport is situated just 5 minutes’ walk from the cottage so you can easily enjoy everything that the two towns have to offer.

Why not set off from the cottage along the beautiful South West Coastal Path to the magnificent Valley of Rocks, hire kayaks, go horse-riding in Exmoor, visit Exmouth Zoo or travel on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway?

Little ones will also enjoy the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and the nearby sandy beaches of Ilfracombe and Woolacombe.

Just a few ideas of the many things to see and do in and around this charming area of North Devon.
