The Penthouse Lynmouth Bay

About this property

A superb penthouse with outstanding sea views nestling in the delightful Exmoor Park town of Lynton. The apartment has been styled with a touch of luxury throughout and offers wonderful accommodation for a couple, family or a group of friends to get away to the North Devon coast.

Guests can access the penthouse either by stairs, or the lift which arrives outside its front door. Upon entering the property, you are greeted to a well-presented hallway, oozing a sense of tranquillity from the outset. The three large bedrooms and two bathrooms are all on this level, while the living areas are up a small staircase in a bright open-plan loft room above.

The apartment hosts three elegant bedrooms including one which can be configured either as a super-king or twin room, the sizeable master room with king-size bed, en-suite bathroom and sofa overlooking the bay, and a second king-size bedroom which boasts spectacular sea views. The en-suite bathroom has been completely replaced this year, to create an invitingly serene and luxurious space, with bath and overhead shower. Meanwhile, the second bathroom, has also been significantly refurbished, retaining its large walk-in shower, and benefiting from stylish new sanitary ware and fittings.

Follow the carpeted staircase up and you emerge into a delightful open-plan living area, decorated in a neutral colour palette, with comfortable furnishings and all the necessities required for a relaxing stay. There are wonderful sea views from each of the three small balconies, while internally, the exposed beams reinforce the loft-style feel of this contemporary area.

At one end there is a well-equipped kitchen, with electric hob and cooker, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as a new, cleverly designed dining area with a large table that comfortably seats six. After dinner, guests can unwind in the cosy seating area, where comfortable sofas nestle by an elegant chaise lounge, and watch the TV/DVD or simply marvel at the view.

In 1925, the view from this building compelled the author CS Lewis to write: “The view from the balcony was beyond everything I have ever seen,” and it remains spectacular and unspoilt to this day. While staying here, you and your family can take a ride on the highest water-powered railway in the world and walk the famous Valley of the Rocks, both just a few minutes’ walk from the apartment.

While Penthouse Lynmouth Bay is in walking distance of numerous pubs, restaurants and shops, its unique location means it is a quiet and incredibly peaceful place to stay.

Half an hour’s drive will allow guests to reach the larger seaside towns of Ilfracombe and Minehead as well as the beautiful sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde, not to mention the gardens, stately homes and wonderful countryside of North Devon.

The Penthouse Lynmouth Bay is an outstanding property and an ideal tranquil retreat for the entire family.

The town of Lynton can be situated within the Exmoor National Park, on the North Devon coast. Here, you will find a town packed with heritage, pubs, local food and shops. Moreover, this village is a great base to explore the national park, where you will find red deer, the rare Exmoor pony, wild birds and rare butterflies, in addition to miles of walking, horse riding and cycling routes to explore.
