Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests have reported the cottage to be very clean, with only a few minor suggestions for improvement. The consistent mention of cleanliness suggests a high standard maintained by the owner.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and ideal for exploring the surrounding areas. However, some guests have noted the steep access road and the lack of nearby shops, which slightly affects the score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and a safe garden for pets. Some concerns about the temperature and the quality of the shower have been noted, which slightly lowers the comfort score.
While the property is generally well-equipped, several guests have mentioned issues with the shower, limited TV channels, and the absence of WiFi. These comments suggest room for improvement in the facilities and maintenance category.
There are inconsistent mentions of a welcome pack, with some guests receiving one while others did not. Due to the lack of consistent references to thoughtful gestures or gifts, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
Lynton 3.2 miles.
A charming detached barn conversion situated off the beaten track in woodland above the coastal resorts of Lynton and Lynmouth. Enjoying a peaceful location, this cottage provides an idyllic holiday retreat near some dramatic stretches of North Devon coastline, within Exmoor National Park. Furnished comfortably and with slate flooring and a woodburning stove on the ground floor, the cottage gives a real taste of rural living. The spacious sitting room is on the first floor, as are the two double bedrooms, and all these rooms have sloping ceilings and Velux windows. The setting is most appealing, approached along a farm track and surrounded by mature woodland, farm meadows and with its own private enclosed garden, ideal for relaxing after some fabulous walks, some of which can be started from the property. There is a cosy village pub within half an hour's walk downhill and the pretty village of Lynton boasts a wealth of small shops and cafes. The area around Lynton and Lynmouth offers a wealth of experiences amidst magnificent landscapes and majestic seascapes, including horse riding, surfing, canoeing and fishing. A welcoming cottage, an ideal year-round rural escape.

Very cosy and comfortable place although it could do with a few adjustments ie bigger TV and a bigger shower cubicle and a few more knickknacks in the kitchen

No WiFi but good phone signal. TV channels very limited but we werenât there to watch TV. The electric shower wasnât powerful but the corner bath and plentiful hot water more than compensated. Lynmouth and Lynton and the surrounding areas are lovely. The cottage is walking distance from the bus stop in Barbrook but the lane is very steep. The pub / Thai restaurant at Lynbridge is excellent.
