“Perfect in every way”

Fabulous views, dog friendly, large apartment, balconies from the lounge area and bedrooms. I bought a week long parking permit from the pitch and putt kiosk opposite which worked out cheaper. Lovely walks from the door.

- Sharon M, September 2019
“The apartment was very clean and tidy and the kitchen had everything you need for a perfect holiday.”

The views from the balconies were exceptional and stunning. The only thing is that there are parking restrictions outside and the internet and mobile reception was very slow or none at all. Would definately recommend Lynmouth/Lynton.

- Mrs Mccarthy, September 2019
“Lovely apartment, lovely setting.”

- Miss Mckendrick, September 2019
“The balconies were large with a panoramic view of the river and sea.”

Accommodation was very comfortable and the location was great for a lot of walks on the doorstep. One of the best places we have stayed in and will definitely return.

- Mrs Stewart, August 2019
“The front door was a clue would some varnish be too costly?”

Look behind the toilets-disgusting feel the dust on skirting boards and dado rails, the ring around the bath was the limit. Inside the microwave had not been cleaned, crumbs from previous visitors in bread bin! How about sweeping the balconies and painting or varnishing wood on balcony. People cook with steamer pans now for healthy cooking. Finally, get under the bathroom sinks and clean the ruddy waste traps I had to sit on the toilet and look at the dirt , this is the worst accommodation we have ever had in Lynmouth, last time I saw taps like those on the bath was in a national trust property. Come on Sykes do your job and inspect these places properly or adjust the prices to account for less than 2 star rating.

“The property has been restored sympathetically, e.”

G. the original sanitary ware is retained, giving a real charm and style to things.

- Mr Phillips, June 2019
“We had a very good week in Lynmouth.”

Comfortable and spacious apartment set over 1st and 2nd floors, balconies on both levels with great views over the river.

- Mrs Bruty, June 2019
“Property in a perfect position in this pretty village.”

Plenty of places to eat and drink within a few hundred yards but still peaceful. From the property I could look over the small park opposite and then out to sea. The harbour was only 3 minutes walk away where you could take a boat trip along the coast. Everywhere was dog friendly which made life easy. John and Lenka the owners of Old Lyn where very helpful. A lovely stay. Thank you

- Mrs Penlington, May 2019
“Lovely position, well equipped.”

Everything needed was there. Lots of good places to eat and a good selection of cream teas and ice cream!

- Ms Williams, May 2019
“Fantastic location, comfy and cosy accommodation.”

A great base for our family holiday.

- Mrs Hawes, April 2019

- Miss Bass, March 2019

“Great accommodation , very confortable and spacious.”

Very nicely situated in the centre of Lynmouth, close to all amenities. We loved the balcony and spent many a time sitting out there with a glass of wine watching the world go by. Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone, a very good base.

- Mr Horseman, October 2018
“We took an Autumn break in Lynmouth staying at Old Lyn Cottage.”

We have stayed in Lynton previously at another beautiful cottage but decided to have a change. The accommodation is of a very high standard. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The location is really quite spectacular with the river trundling down to the sea outside the property. Two magnificent balcony's were used well to fully enjoy the sound of the river and the beautiful views both in the day and at night. We enjoyed some great food in the local pubs and the beautiful Watersmeet walk and café. I would highly recommend this accomodation

- Mrs Barnes, October 2018
“VERY PLEASED WITH THE COTTAGE,VERY COMFORTABLE,GOOD LOCATION ONLY SLIGHT PROBLEM IS THE RESTRICTIONS ON THE PARKING.”

EXCELLENT ON THE WHOLE.

- Mrs Wreford, September 2018
“Old Lynn Cottage was a great find.”

Well equipped and furnished with fantastic views across to Wales.

- Mr Ford, September 2018
“The apartment was absolutely perfect with lovely touches like tea coffee biscuits and milk waiting for us.”

The views were spectacular and Lynemouth itself is a beautiful place with lots to look at. Lots of dog friendly places and even doggy ice cream for sale. We will definitely be back.

- Mr Brown, August 2018
“Lovely apartment, very spacious and comfortable.”

The balconies were nice with lovely views over the river. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to returning.

- Miss Holder, July 2018
“Old Lyn Cottage is spacious, comfortable and well equipped.”

The balconies on both levels were a real bonus. John and his wife were both very welcoming and helpful. Located in the centre of the village you are within easy reach of the pubs but the location isn't noisy. The walk to Watersmeet is a must with the reward of a cream tea when you get there. There are plenty of walks in the area of wonderful countryside. Fully recommend. We were there in late June and were able to park in the street outside overnight without problem.

- Mr Clements, June 2018
“Well appointed “cottage” equipped with everything we needed.”

Great location & the view over the river, park & sea is great, we sat out on the balcony and watched the world go by. Owner was very helpful with local advice. A lovely holiday in a busy and beautiful little village.

- Mr Tearle, June 2018
“Excellent location in a beautiful coastal village”

- Mrs Small, May 2018
“Perfect stay”

Fantastic location with great views overlooking the East Lyn River and sea. Accommodation is clean, comfortable and well kept. Brilliant location for sightseeing around the area, so much to do and so pretty. Bonus is it's also dog friendly.

- Amanda A, April 2018
“Apartment was comfortable home from home, John and his wife were very helpful and friendly, the area was spectacular with beautiful views all around us, we loved that everywhere was dog friendly.”

We shall be back to stay at the old Lyn cottage. The shop underneath the apartment was outstanding. We definitely did not want to go home. Thank you From Heather and Rod Jones

- Mrs Jones, April 2018
“Lovely location, great mix of old and new, high standard accommodation.”

Having visited Lynmouth on many occasions we have never stayed in the Village. The cottage is very central and you have lovely views of the Manor green and harbour from the covered balcony on the first floor so even if its raining you can still sit and watch the world go by. Old Lyn cottage is presented to a high standard with old features, like the Hugh old bath tub to a new fitted kitchen area. Everything and more is there to make a perfect Self catering holiday in a great location.John and his wife were more then helpful and always on hand should you need them.We will defiantly return to Old Lyn Cottage. Thank you

Old Lyn Cottage is in a wonderful location right next to the River Lyn, with beautiful sea views.

Situated above a small gift shop, this stylish apartment is set over two floors.

The open plan living area is bright and spacious with a smart, well equipped kitchen and has wonderful views.

On the second floor are two bright, colourful bedrooms, a double and a twin bedded room, both have access to a balcony which has elevated views of the river and pretty harbour.

About the location

LYNMOUTH

Minehead 17 miles; Ilfracombe 19 miles.

Set directly on the coast at the foot of the Exmoor hills, this charming village draws visitors from near and far. Quaint Lynmouth sits between the river, shore and hills and offers small restaurants, tea rooms and inns. There are plenty of things to see and do, including a unique water-powered cliff railway with outstanding views, which links Lynmouth with neighbouring Lynton, the pretty harbour town where the fisherman’s cottages creep down towards the quay, and the distinctive Rhenish Tower sits proudly on the harbour wall. The National Trust own nearby Arlington Court and Watersmeet, a stunning riverside walk, and within the National Park boundary, the hills of Exmoor drop down to the sea where they shadow the Exmoor Heritage Coast. Romantic Porlock, home of Lorna Doone, is just 16 miles to the east, the coastal resorts of Minehead and Ilfracombe are both within 20 miles, with the hills of Exmoor dotted all around, and there are good shopping opportunities in Barnstaple, 20 miles away.
