“The low ceiling in the lounge was a little irritating having to dodge the low beams.”

We all had a few head bumps to remind us of the holiday. That being said, the properties location to local facilities and the superb views made up for that.

- Mr Travers, September 2020
“The Penthouse Lynmouth exceeded our expectations, the location was great for access to Lynton and Lynmouth and the views were stunning from all aspects of the apartment.”

The low beams were an attractive feature but could be an issue for holiday makers that are tall, we experienced a number of bumped heads. The lift to the apartment on level 2 would be useful for anyone with mobility issues and in particular was very handy when taking luggage in and out. Overall a fabulous stay in a beautiful part of the UK.

- Mr Sanderson, September 2020
“The view is amazing and a great location very close to the funicular railway down to Lynmouth.”

The flat is well laid out and furnished. A negative was that check in times were from 5pm on day of arrival and check out is at 9am, which we were only told about after booking. Extended timing we were told was to allow for proper cleaning in current Covid-19 situation but the level of cleanliness on arrival was not great considering they have an 8 hour cleaning and turnover window. If staying with small children the check in/out times are a challenge. Blinds in both bathrooms were broken on arrival and strangely the lightbulbs were missing from bedside tables.

“Overall we had a great holiday at the Penthouse Lynmouth Bay.”

The property was beautiful and the views stunning. Prior to our visit we had slight reservations about going on holiday with the current Covid19 issues, but the kind words of advice from the owner put our minds at ease. Furthermore, the other useful information she provided proved useful throughout our stay, and showed a level of care/interest I have never experienced from other owners when holidaying elsewhere. Lynton and Lynmouth are both lovely little towns and the children in the party enjoyed exploring them via the impressive Cliff Railway. The only negative was that the lift to the apartment was out of order. Again the owner kindly informed me of this on the morning of the visit. However, it wasn't repaired until the Thursday which meant that my elderly parents were limited to where they could visit until the end of the week. That said, the comfort of the accommodation and views meant that even they were not too disappointed. Overall I would highly recommend this property.

- Mr Macaulay, August 2020
“We had the pleasure of staying at The Penthouse from 11th July to 18th July 2020.”

From the minute we entered the property we were blown away with the space, the quality of the fixtures and fittings but mostly the views! We could lie in bed and see the most stunning scenery, it’s breathtaking. The apartment is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The owners have gone to great lengths to make sure you want for nothing with lovely extras such as an x-box and plenty of family games and puzzles to keep you entertained. It is in the beautiful town of Lynton with plenty of lovely shops and places to eat and drink. The locals were incredibly friendly and welcoming and have Covid friendly systems in place to keep everyone safe. It’s a 10 minute walk down to neighbouring Lynmouth or you can take the cliff railway. There you’ll find plenty more shops and restaurants, the beach and pitch and putt. We cannot recommend The Penthouse highly enough, we loved every minute and will definitely be returning.

- Mr Ford, July 2020
“Great location and fantastic views.”

Lots of information from the owners prior to departure for things to see and do. Sykes app is very useful.

- Mr Hinton, February 2020
“New Year’s Eve fireworks in Lynton were spectacular!”

!!

- Mrs Hart, December 2019
“The 3 terraces are very small and not large enough to put out a table and chairs.”

Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was well cleaned. Kitchen facilities were very good. You do need to bend to avoid beams when using kitchen and lounge.

- Mrs Ashton, October 2019
“What an amazing place to stay.”

. So clean and beautifully decorated.. And such comfortable beds... But more than that.. The views.. Wow... Wow... Wow.. Also and very important the owner contacted us direct to hope we enjoyed our stay there and sent Information on places to eat and visit.. Such a friendly lady....lovely personal touch xx

- Mrs Tidmarsh, September 2019
“This penthouse apartment is really well located in a quiet part of Lynton overlooking the Lynmouth harbour and area.”

Lovely views from the lounge/diner/kitchen on the top floor and also a good view from the main bedroom. The rooms are all large and well equipped. Beware if you are taller as the beams in the top floor rooms mean there is reduced height for much of the room width. Helpful and friendly staff on site and the owner was very helpful providing information in advance of the holiday. The weather while we were there last week was 'changeable' but it didn't stop us walking every day.

- Mr Norris, September 2019
“Fantastic views and location.”

Plenty of toys and films to keep the kids amused, which we weren’t expecting. Milk, tea and coffee waiting for us after what had been a long journey, so we could have a refresh before we went out. Lots of useful, up to date information provided in a folder in the property which helped us choose local walks and places to eat. All 3 generations of our family voted it a huge success.

- Mrs Chorley, July 2019
“The views from the apartment were amazing.”

The bedrooms were large and well furnished. Despite the reduced headroom, the living area had great views and it was very comfortable. The owners had equipped the apartment well including lots of dvds, games, puzzles and an X box. The area is lovely with beautiful coastal walks. We had a lovely week in The Penthouse.

- Mrs Slade, July 2019
“The views from this property were breathtaking, certainly the best we have ever experienced with previous self catering properties.”

The lounge and kitchen area is on the upper floor and it has low beams and this is the only negative of this property. Could be a problem for someone very tall. It took us a little while to get use to them. This apart, we would certainly book this property again, it was wonderful.

- Mrs Parsons, June 2019
“We had a wonderful holiday break in the Penthouse, Lynmouth.”

.. the views from the rooftop balcony are amazing. We loved the easy access to the coastal path and into the town of Lynmouth. The flat was decorated to a high standard and the beds were very comfortable. The recommendations given for places to eat /days out in the information at the flat were most helpful. We had some trouble finding the accommodation on arrival, as there are still exterior signs referring to it as a hotel and saying 'hotels residents only'. Perhaps the instructions could reflect this - and tell people to look for a large sign saying Lynton Cottage Apartment & Villas when turning right.

- Mrs Padgham, June 2019
“The accommodation was beautifully kept and beautifully appointed.”

The upside down layout gave the most amazing views. We loved the town and my two daughters (13 and 11) spend many hours making memories that they will keep forever! Only downside was the mixed weather but hey...this is England!!

- Mr Wright, May 2019
“Splendid location for the panoramic views, everything you require is on your doorstep.”

All we needed was available at the property and plenty of local information was provided.

- Mr Fox, May 2019
“Brilliant views, clean, spacious apartment.”

We had a lovely stay and would go again.

- Mrs Nipper, April 2019
“We had a brilliant 10 days staying at The Penthouse Lynmouth Bay.”

The apartment is very spacious and extremely well equipped, with fabulous views of Lynton and the coast. The location is also fantastic, being just a couple of minutes walk into the centre of Lynton. We hope to return for a second visit soon!
