It is super comfortable, really well-equipped, beautifully decorated and oh, those views! We were made super welcome and had such a happy week in this fabulous apartment. I absolutely totally recommend the property, but unfortunately would not use Sykes again to book. The cynical and underhand ploy used on the Sykes website means that if you have viewed a property more than a couple of times then the price will rocket. I complained to Sykes on the phone but was told that it "is like airline flights" - apparently if they deem a property to be more popular then the prices go up. Such a shame. Luckily many properties, like this one can be found on Instagram and take direct bookings.

“Everything was great - the apartment was spotless, the description and photos accurate, the kitchen very well equipped, wifi fast, heating individually controlled and responsive, bathrooms modern and well thought out.”

Nice touches such as the history in the information booklet, and walking books. The owner, Amy was also very responsive by email beforehand. It was good to do walks from the door without the car - downhill via the zigzag path or cliff railway to the popular Watersmeet walk (can be extended to Countisbury Hill, Blue Ball Inn and downhill along the coast to Lynmouth), and North walk to Valley of the Rocks (extendable to Lee Abbey Bay and Hollerday Hill). Arrange a taxi back for approx. £5 if the cliff railway is closed. Enjoyed The Oak Room in Lynton and excellent Rising Sun in Lynmouth - do reserve in advance especially at weekends. Costcutter (with Co-op goods) supermarket and smaller Londis within 5 minutes walk. Very quiet at night but the advantage of everything convenient. And what superb views and terraced gardens.

..nothing to dislike.

“A very nicely presented apartment in a complex of around 10 (an old hotel).”

Stunning views from both bedrooms and the lounge of the coastline and Wales. A couple of small supermarkets and some nice arty places in Lynton. Walk down to Lynmouth and catch the railway back up. The coastal path walk to the valley of the rocks is a must and the valley of the rocks is spectacular. Didn't expect to find a cricket pitch in such a location. We did a fair bit of touring and whatever the sat nav says for the time, add on a bit more as the roads can be narrow and very steep at times.

“The Penthouse Channel View is in a beautiful location with stunning views.”

The apartment is in the perfect spot in Lynton and we will definitely like to come back and stay again. It has everything you need and very clean and comfortable. Some spare batteries would have been handy as 2 of the TV remotes weren't working was the only disappointment. The owners were very friendly and obliging and sorted out a late request to put the 2 single beds together to make a double which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

“Amazing apartment with wonderful views across the channel and wonderful to hear the sea at night.”

Perfectly located for wandering around Lynton and Lynmouth with all the mod cons included. One great addition would be a fan in the lounge for when it’s particularly hot weather.

“We love a holiday cottage with a spectacular view, and this apartment certainly delivered on that score, with the stunning views from the lounge and both bedrooms.”

What a treat to be so handy to the coastal path to the Valley of the Rocks ... a great place to catch those sunset photos. A comfy, clean and well equipped apartment. We had a leak in the dishwasher, but that was fixed within hours of reporting it. We loved the balcony off the main bedroom and it was fun to sit out having breakfast, whilst watching walkers on their way to the coast path pause to admire 'our' view. We found the glass door on the ensuite rather odd and would have preferred frosted glass. We were impressed with how carefully the apartment was cleaned and fog treated ahead of our arrival in the midst of a new Covid world. The housekeeping team saw our family and realised that we needed the second room as twin beds, so hastily changed the room set up. I felt bad that our message via the owner notifying the required bed configuration hadn't got through to the cleaners, thus causing extra work, but they did it very graciously at the end of what mst have been a busy day for them. It was our first time staying in these apartments, but I hope it won't be the last.

“The Channel View Penthouse is a lovely place to stay.”

Stunning views out over Lynmouth, very comfortable bedrooms and large lounge - just what you need after a day of walking. Well stocked kitchen/ diner. We sat on the garden terraces a couple of times just admiring the views. You are 5 mins walk away from a couple of good restaurants to eat in the evening( need to book in advance) in Lynton but a quiet and peaceful place to stay. Involves 2 short flight of stairs to the apartment but there is a lift. Great access to the Valley of the Rocks on foot and other walks on the coastal path. We stayed for one week in July felt very safe in relation to covid in both the apartment location and in the surrounding areas. Would stay here again for sure.
