About this property

Nestled in the bustling town of Lynton, Devon, is this delightful two-bedroom terraced cottage, Wood Cottage. Enjoying a fantastic location within the Exmoor National Park and just moment’s away from the North Devon Coast, Wood Cottage is a superb dwelling for couples or a family of five. Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can unwind with loved ones on the plush seating in front of your favourite film on the TV after a day of exploring. Impress your guests with tasty home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, ready to enjoy at the dining table or alfresco out on your private rear decking whilst you soak up the sun. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary shower room, where you can freshen up in style. Make your way up to the first floor, where two well-presented bedrooms await, a double and a triple bunk, both with plenty of storage. Explore the local town, where you can dine at The Oak Room, tour the Lynton Toy Museum and Shop, delve into history at the Lyn and Exmoor Museum, or stock up on essentials at the convenience store. Be sure to check out the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway, where you can enjoy scenic rides down the clifftops, followed by a light bite at the café. Keen walkers will also delight at the close proximity of the renowned South West Coast Path, perfect for scenic hikes along the coast. Nearby Lynmouth offers a charming selection of eateries, as well as the Glen Lyn Gorge, Lyn Model Railway and the pebbled beach of Blacklands Sands. Continue onto Ilfracombe, where you can spend a day bathing on the golden sands of Ilfracombe Beach, touring Ilfracombe Museum, meeting the local marine life at Ilfracombe Aquarium, visiting the 11th-century Chambercombe Manor, or catching a live performance at The Landmark Theatre. For a memorable day trip, why not embark on a seasafari? Further afield, you will find Minehead, home to Minehead Museum, a beautiful beach and easy access to the National Trust site of Dunster Castle and Watermill. All this and more awaits at Wood Cottage.

Lynton and its twin Lynmouth are set within Exmoor National Park on the North Devon coast. Lynton and Lynmouth enjoy one of the nicest and most untouched coastal sites in England, affording spectacular vistas and some of the best opportunities to admire the sheer rugged beauty of Exmoor’s coast and countryside. Great heritage, snug fireside pubs, tasty local food and 'green’ credentials make North Devon an inspiring location to stay. There is a plethora of wildlife with majestic red deer, the uncommon Exmoor pony, wild birds and unusual butterflies. There are plenty of outdoor hobbies including horse riding, golf, strolling, surfing and fly fishing on the magnificent Lyn river. Exmoor National Park is home to some of the darkest skies in the country thus it's a terrific area to gaze at the stars. Lynton has a fantastic choice of shops, pubs and cafes where you can meander amid the charming cottages and meet the friendly inhabitants. There are a number of activities for the family including Exmoor Zoo, Lynmouth’s water-powered cliff railway, and the Owl and Hawk Centre. Experience one of England’s last remaining quiet locations - there is something for everyone during a stay at Lynton and Lynmouth.

    Good sized rooms, furnished well, clean, tidy and fresh. Great shower and plenty of hot water. Kitchen had plenty of pans, plates etc. Outside seating was nice and sunny. Parking outside the house from late pm to mid morning was absolutely fine, we did buy a parking permit for multiple car parks to make sure parking wasnt a problem. Great location for shops, beaches annd walks.

    However, the directions given were totally misleading, taking us up a lane that was incorrect, on the other side of the road, losing time in the rain. Much was missing: washing machine (though your automated instructions - for other cottages - had said to bring clothes washing soap), salad bowl, mixer, whisk, knife sharpener, saucers, jugs, soap in empty dispenser, blind at kitchen window, blind/curtain at front door. The main thing missing, despite your mention of the environment over electricity, was NO RECYCLING provision. This was disgraceful in a town where recycling exists (we saw the collectors) - only one bin for rubbish. The window in the front bedroom did not close properly. It was COLD and there were no heating facilities for wet clothes and the general storage heaters were difficult to control, despite instructions. No VACUUM CLEANER though you had said we should keep things well clean etc. So although the cottage is comfy, it is very basic and incomplete in essentials.
