Welcome to our delightful self catering cottages. Situated some 3 miles from Lynton within the Exmoor National park, the hamlet of West Lyn is approximately 300 metres above sea level and sits astride the valleys carved by the East and West Lyn rivers. The area is famed for its magnificent coastal scenery, and the views from the cottages and grounds over Lynton, the Bristol channel and the Gower coast of South Wales are quite simply stunning.

The cottages sit within many acres of grazing pasture, yet within 50 yards of a quiet country lane, and only a few minutes walk to the nearest country pub. Our environment here has virtually no light pollution, minimal traffic noise, and some of the cleanest air in the country.

If you are enthusiastic walkers then we offer the perfect base. Many walks start directly outside the front doors of our cottages. You can step straight on to designated footpaths, and the South West coast path is just 10 minutes away on foot. The two moors way a little further. Whatever your fitness level or walking ambitions there are many other picturesque footpaths to explore across heather clad moorland or in wooded and mysterious river valleys, that are the habitat of red deer and otter.

We are enthusiastic anglers at West Lyn. We can offer excellent fishing for salmon, sea trout and brown trout on our own private beats, extending to over one and a half miles, on both the East Lyn river and Farley water. The fishing is just 5 minutes drive from our cottages.
There is much else to do and see in this part of Devon and Somerset. The twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, connected by the famous cliff railway, are a few minutes away, and offer pubs, cafes and restaurants to suit every taste and pocket. There are beautiful sandy beaches, hidden rocky coves, and many other places of interest, all within a reasonable driving distance of West Lyn.
