We loved our stay at Lorna Doone Cottage. It was very convenient for the town and the car park was just a couple of minutes walk away. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

We had a fabulous weekend at Lorna Doone Cottage. The owners (Beverley and Marcus) and housekeeper (Jane) couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming.

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