"We absolutely adored staying at Bayview Tower."
If we can , we would like to return in the not too distant future. Lynton is a delightful little town as is Lynmouth closeby . The coastal path was a dream walk for us amateur walk enthusiasts. We had a friendly Robin redbreast keeping us company each and everytime we opened the lounge/diner patio doors to let I the view, which was to die for.
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete the feedback, it’s much appreciated. We will keep our eye out for the little Robin. Best regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"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.
Thank you for the feedback and we are glad you had a great time at Bayview Tower. I have asked the housekeeper to look at the blinds and they have reported that they are difficult to open. There are window shutters as well (recessed into the wall) which can be used. I will look into some more user friendly blinds and check the utility tap. Kindest regards, Yasmin & David.

"Wow, what a great holiday cottage!"
The views from the living room and bedrooms are amazing. Bayview Tower is very luxurious, spacious livingroom and bedrooms.
Thank you for the 100% feedback. It’s been our pleasure to have you staying at Bayview Tower and hope to see you again. Kind regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"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.
Thank you very much for the 100% feedback. It’s much appreciated and we were delighted that you had such a great time at Bayview Tower. Kind regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"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!
-
"The property was as described and ideal for 2 couples with plenty of room."
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
Thank you ver much for the 100% feedback. We very much appreciate you staying with us at Bayview Tower and hope to see you again. Kindest regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"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

"Lovely light, spacious property with the most amazing views."
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.
Thank you very much for the great feedback. It was so nice to hear you are planning to come again in the future. Lynton really is a great place to base yourself and we hope to see you again soon. Kindest regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"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

"The property is clean, spacious and well-equipped, and has an amazing master bedroom."
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.

"Beautiful location and fantastic apartment."
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.
Fantastic news that you loved the apartment and views. I have had a chat with the housekeeper about the Dust and have been assured that this will be rectified. Property Owner

"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.

"Lovely house, all the comforts of home."
Would most certainly return.
Many thanks for staying with us and the great feedback. Pleased to hear you had a lovely time and hope to welcome you again. Kind regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"This is a glorious property in a prime location."
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.
Thank you Celia for your feedback. Glad you had a great time and enjoyed all Lynton has to offer. We appreciate the feedback on the duvets and will look to buy some summer ones as suggested. Kind regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

We really enjoyed our visit ,the home was very comfortable with outstanding views which we enjoyed immensely Thankyou for the arrival package much appreciated ,the milk very useful to have and the Cava a treat
Ken, Thanks for the great feedback and we were both delighted you enjoyed Lynton and the wonderful views from the Tower. Hope to see you again. Best wishes, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"Great property with amazing views, the only thing we would recommend is it would have been good to have had some more information on what pubs/restaurants are open in the area, otherwise we could not fault the place."
Thanks for the feedback William, Glad you loved the property and all it had to offer. We appreciate on your thoughts on local pubs/restaurants and will look to add extra information into the welcome pack. Thanks again for the great feedback. Yasmin & David Property Owner

"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

"We had a lovely stay in the Bayview Tower, The views were Amazing the town had lovely shops and the people around there were very helpful and friendly."
Great walks too especially the walk along the river to watersmeet. We also enjoyed the Ancient Marina with its quirkiness and great food. 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.
Thank you very much for staying with us. We were delighted to hear it that you loved Lynton and the views. Apologies about the carpet stain. You are right about the previous guest having a mishap. We did shampoo the carpet but obviously not as well as we would have liked. We have now reminded this and appreciate you bearing with us. Very best wishes, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

Excellent property although could do with a bit of decorating in places the exit road needs to be opened as getting out of the property drive is hairy due to the steepness of the dive way and the sharp right turn particularly in a SUV fantastic four poster bed and the view is spectacular would stay again
Dear David, We appreciate your feedback and we’re pleased to hear you loved the views and bedroom. The tree on the driveway is a real problem and is an ongoing insurance issue. We apologise for this and are pushing for a better solution ASAP. This year has been fully booked and so things I am sure are looking a bit worn as your and the previous feedback has shown. We have closed the apartment off in January and will look to remedy these issues. Thanks again for your feedback. Property Owner

"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

"Loved the property."
The view is unbelievable and location is great for walks. Appreciated the welcome pack. Already missing my coffee on the balcony every morning. Kitchen was well stocked, Amazon echo in lounge and main bedroom is a great idea, we didn’t really use the TV, just listened to music. The WI-FI worked well, kept the teenager happy. A much needed relaxing, peaceful break.
Thank you for the great feedback, much appreciated. We were delighted you had a great stay and hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kindest regards, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"Fantastic stay."
Bit quirky with dishwasher and fridge in utility and not the kitchen but didn’t distract from the enjoyment. Stunning views and brilliant comfy bed on first floor. We didn’t use the top floor as only 2 of us. Weather helped as lovely all week so enjoyed sitting on the terrace eating breakfast and taking the views in.
Sounds like you had a fantastic week. Thanks very much for the glowing feedback. Much appreciated. Kindest wishes, Yasmin & David. Property Owner

"Stayed 9th July, for a week, absolutely beautiful, would"

"Bayview Tower surpassed our expectations - the property is huge and the views spectacular!"
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.
That is such a lovely message and we are very grateful for your feedback. Always nice to hear that people have created life long Happy Memories at Bayview Tower. Kindest regards, Yasmin & David Property Owner

"The property was extremely well equipped."
The view was superb. The position was peaceful. Excellent.
Thank you very much John for your feedback and kind comments. It’s much appreciated. We were delighted to see the weather was so good for your time with us which I know makes a tremendous view even better. Property Owner

"The only thing we could possibly say is as North Devon is an ale drinkers paradise there was no large pint glasses to drink from."
Petty I know but I can't think of anything else
Thank you very much for your feedback and we are delighted that you had a great stay. Ale Drinkers will be delighted to know that pint glasses are on order! Thanks for pointing that out. Property Owner

"Beautiful views and a lovely setting a little too quiet in the village for us but if you want peace defiantly worth it ,the apartment itself needs a little tlc the top bedroom carpets could do with cleaning and new paint needed ."
The patio was messy needs weeding and the plants in the reception all had white fly .I think the cost reflects the views mainly.the water power train is great overall a nice place just needs looking after
Thanks for the feedback Julie. The view is amazing and you are right that this is a big attraction for the property. I have asked the cleaner to check the carpet in the upstairs bedrooms and to report back to us. The property is refreshed as needed in the winter period and we have just installed a new en-suite to the master bedroom. I appreciate your feedback and will look to improve the areas you have pointed out. Property Owner

"Had a fabulous holiday the only issue I have is for someone of my height the sofas were uncomfortable the rest of the apartment was fabulous and I would highly recommend it."
Thanks for the feedback and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Sorry you found the seating a little uncomfortable. We will look at improving this where possible. Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay at Bayview Tower, wonderful views looking out to the sea."
Very peaceful environment. A good position to visit surrounding areas like Exmoor Zoo, Dunster, Dulverton, Tarr Steps and the Moors. Comfortable and very clean accomodation. Would recommend and hope to return again one day.
-
"Perfect in every way, parked the car on arrival and didn’t move it until it was time to leave."
Fantastic views, excellent cleanliness, very quiet, heating perfect. Really comfortable bed. Milk, wine ,cake and biscuits awaiting on our arrival. Toiletries in bathrooms and lots of lovely white towels. Have payed far more for for other places which have been nowhere near this standard. Hope to return in the future.

"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. You advised you had contacted us the day before your departure, we are only sorry that we were not contacted straight way during your stay as we would have been happy to attend the property and address any issues so that they would not have impacted on stay. Thank you again for your feedback. Property Owner

"This was our second visit to Bayview Tower, and it really is a gem of a property."
The location could not be better with wide views across the bay, from the lounge, the main bedroom and the balcony in the second bedroom. The apartment is quiet, being just away from the main road through the town, but is well located for visiting other places around the North Devon coast and Exmoor. The kitchen is well equipped and the apartment is well furnished throughout, including an amazing four-poster bed! Everything is well maintained and clean. Cannot recommend highly enough.
-
"Fantastic apartment in a beautiful spot."
Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. A nice touch was the scones with jam and cream (which were delicious) along with a loaf of bread and milk left for us on our arrival. Was very much appreciated after a long drive. Would definitely recommend this place.
-
"The weather was glorious for a start, i overlooked the coastline, the apartment had everything you could wish for, even a telescope!"
I was very close to all amenaties, and yes i would definately go back to the same apartment if i chose Devon again.
-
"The property is fabulous with amazing views."
We had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for food preparation and cooking. Loved the option for indoor and outdoor eating, obviously weather dependent! The bed was comfortable and the views from the main bedroom were glorious. Plenty of space for 2 couples, although there were only 2 of us. Loads to see and do in the immediate area. We didn't move the car for the first 3 days!
-
"This is a fantastic property with stunning views."
Very well equipped all our needs were met. We would recommend this property. There is a steep bank from the property to Lynton which should be mentioned. The information book in the property was not up to date we needed to get in touch with the housekeeper re the change of bed linen and towels on ringing the number in the book we were told they no longer cleaned Bay Tower she was very helpful and got in touch with the landlord who eventually emailed us and the cleaners eventually arrived.
-
"On a sunny day."
The views are fantastic. That can rival any european holiday destination. The rooms are big with high ceilings. The windows provide a great panoramic scene. The patio furniture is very stable and the garden walks are so pretty. They lead down to coastal path. The walk to the valley of rocks is spectacular. The four poster bed is a nice touch in the main bedroom. The utility room. Has all mod-cons, including nespresso machine. Each room has a t.v. and dvd player. The wifi signal around the house is great. I would highly reccomend this property, especially in the summer months.
-
"The perfect place to be."
The view from the rooms are breathtaking. Quiet and relaxing, with everything on your door step.
-
"We were astounded by the standard of facilities and all the little extras that had been provided to make our stay so wonderful."
Really was great value for the money we paid. Really was not expecting the cream tea, bread , milk and bottle of wine that were waiting for us. Location in Lynton could not have been better. Would highly recommend.
-
"Amazing accommodation, amazing location, amazing view"
-
"Beautiful views, well-equipped property and great to either do walks from the property or short drives to other scenic places."
-
"The property was tidy but far from clean - the bathrooms under beds all furniture sand in the sofas outside furniture dirty cobwebs everywhere."
A lovely property but poor cleaners & cleaning.
Thank you so much for your feedback and for taking the time to talk to Sykes as I take pride in the property and will always look to improve where I can. I’m glad you loved the welcome basket, we do try to include things we know customers will enjoy and that you enjoyed the property. Apologies regarding any cobwebs, this has already been addressed and will be monitored. We did also have some birds nesting nearby recently and they may possibly have flown near the outside furniture and regrettably done what birds do.. We are currently using a dedicated anti Covid spray to ensure customer safety at the property and we are checking whether the sand granules have been residue from the spray when it has dried, thanks for letting us know. We are also leaving extra anti-bac wipes for guest use, along with back up stock of washing up liquid etc Thank you again for the comments which you have also spoken to Sykes about and any issue raised will be addressed and resolved immediately. We do also have two contact numbers in the key details sent to customers and Sykes are also on hand to assist, and I’m sorry neither Sykes or myself were contacted by you at the time of your stay as we would have assisted and resolved any issue straightaway Property Owner

"Superb building over three floors."
Really well kitted out and comfortable. The views are amazing! Such a lovely stay.

"Fantastic apartment, great location, amazing views!"

"Amazingly relaxing holiday in this wonderful, spacious apartment."
The position is stunning with wonderful views from most rooms. The flat is well furnished and has everything you need. Would be happy to return any time.

"Beautiful location, excellent accommodation which was exactly as the photos and description showed in the advert."
-
"You had told us that the property would be available from 3pm, we arrived just after 3pm and were told, rather brusquely, that check in time was 4pm and would have to wait."
The supervisor was much more congenial and said she would expedite the final clean. The towels were clean but not very soft and smelt musty. There weren't any kitchen scales or measuring jug. The views from the property were superb and the property was tastefully decorated but we don't think it should be classed as luxury.
Dear Mr Rogerson, Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. I am very sorry about the arrival time discrepancy and the problem with the cleaning team. The arrival time was an error on my part which I appreciate you pointing out. I'm sure this was the last thing you wanted and I will ensure this never happens again. We take great pride in the presentation of our apartment and have given our personal email address as well as a Housekeeper contact number should our guests find any problems during their stay. Finally, I have purchased a set of kitchen scales & measuring jug for the apartment for future guests use as you mentioned. Thanks again for your feedback and rest assured any negative points will be immediately addressed. I was pleased to hear you found the apartment comfortable and you enjoyed the breathtaking view. Property Owner

"The most perfect setting for an english holiday with a sea view."
-
"The accommodation was really great, the view from the terrace was fantastic."
The beds were very comfy and the layout, over three floors makes the place very good for two couples as you have complete privacy from each other. Very clean and the dressing gowns were an unexpected touch.
-
"The holiday was very good ."
Bay view tower is a great place to stay with a knockout view.The only thing slightly frustrating was the signal for the TV was hit and miss.
-
"Fabulous apartment with stunning views."
Very comfortable, well equipped. Lovely cream tea as a welcome gift! Had a really restful holiday.
-
"The wardrobe in the bedrooms are much to small apart from that we had a lovely comfortable relaxed holiday with a fantastic view of the bay."
-
"We had a really great stay the view’s were beautiful."
The apartment had everything you need to have a great holiday. thanks for a lovely holiday
-
"Bay View Tower is just the most perfect place to just sit back & relax or central location to visit lots of interesting places in North Devon."
I would & already have recommended Bay view Tower to family & friends.
-
"The views were amazing even in the worst weather we have ever had on our holidays."
.. the rain and wind didn't dampen our enjoyment of the holiday at Bay View as we still felt part of the wonderful landscape. The walks from the accommodation were fantastic and we would love to go back to Bay View Tower again.
-
"Turning into the driveway of the property opened up the panoramic view we were to enjoy for the week ahead."
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.
-
"Bay view tower is a lovely home & place to stay with a family."
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
-
"Wonderful apartment with exceptional views."
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.
-
"It is advertised as luxury accommodation, but there are a number of ways in which it failed to meet this standard."
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.

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