We walked direct from the cottage and spent some happy hours in Lynmouth. We will definitely be back - how perfect!

The cottage is in a great location and very well equipped. You're close to everything but it's still quiet and relaxing. We really appreciated the parking permit and welcome pack (lovely cake!).
