“A beautiful apartment with exceptional views.”

- Mrs Self, August 2021
Mrs Barrett July 2021

“Penthouse Channel View is a lovely home from home, we thoroughly enjoyed staying here.”

Sadly we had really poor weather but on the one sunny day we had, the glorious views came into their own, the glittering bay is just stunning. The accommodation is extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. Special thanks for this to the housekeeping team. We had cause to contact Michelle (housekeeper) a couple of times and found her to be incredibly helpful and quick, any issue we had was sorted. Amy kindly recommended some local places to eat and so we became regulars at Charlie Fridays for breakfast!! Highly recommended. We knew in advance that we couldn't use our balconies, it didn't spoil our stay but we would love to return to use them fully, I shall dream of sitting outside with a coffee in the early morning gazing at that View! Thank you for a lovely stay, we will be back!

“Beautiful apartment in idyllic setting.”

“Penthouse Channel View is just lovely.”

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.

“Clean, comfortable, fantastic views, well equipped.”

..nothing to dislike.

- Mr Nicholls, October 2020
Mr Hughes September 2020

“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.

- Mrs Baker, August 2020
Miss Montgomery August 2020

“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.

- Miss Montgomery, August 2020
Mrs Evans July 2020

“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.

Mrs Shoesmith July 2020

“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.

- Mrs Shoesmith, July 2020
Mr Lord July 2020

“Fantastic location with wonderful views.”

Apartment was very well equipped and very clean, ample space and very comfortable. Covid security measures very good with plenty of hand sanitiser at entry points. Would definitely stay again.

- Mr Lord, July 2020
Mr Sykes October 2019

“The Penthouse Channel View is a well positioned, well equipped and very comfortable apartment in a secluded location yet within 100 yards of Lynton centre, its shops and restaurants.”

There are sea views from the lounge and the two bedrooms, though the weather was either too cold or too wet for us to sit on the tiny veranda situated off the main bedroom. We hope to have the chance to stay here again.

- Mr Sykes, October 2019
Mrs Butler October 2019

“Wonderful apartment views were exceptional very well equipped chairs in kitchen might benefit with some cushions on them very hard.”

Otherwise couldn’t fault it at all, will be back hopefully nex year

- Mrs Butler, October 2019
Mrs Patterson September 2019

“The views from the apartment were spectacular.”

The owners had gone out of their way to ensure there was everything you could possibly need. One of the best apartments we have ever stopped in

- Mrs Patterson, September 2019
Mr Mchenry August 2019

“The views from all rooms were stunning and the standard of accommodation was exceptional.”

Best place we have stayed for a family holiday ever.

- Mr Mchenry, August 2019
Mrs Boyall July 2019

“The apartment was really modern much to my liking, very roomy, terrific views over the sea and surrounding area.”

We loved the lift though we were only on the second floor. The facilities were the best I have ever encountered. ie toys for children, jigsaws, excellent utensils etc, we were not short of anything. I would just say pehaps a cupboard for dried and tinned food. If children were there it might be difficult but we managed to use the fridge and freezer for most things and a large carrier bag. Just a thought, it certainly did not spoil our holiday. I havn't put excellent for clean purely because the verandas needed some TLC, we had to sweep the leaves and cobwebs away before we could use them and they could have used a coat of paint.Unfortunately there were some cobwebs in the apartment also(not many certainly did not put us off) . Other than that perfect. It is the only place I have stopped at that I wished I had booked for 2 weeks instead of 1. A lovely area to visit stunning views and walks well worth a visit.

- Mrs Boyall, July 2019
Mr Harrison June 2019

“As always, another excellent Sykes Cottage holiday!”

The apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable, and had everything needed and more! The views were absolutely spectacular and the apartment was only a couple of minutes walk from the town centre, and also handy for walks to Lynmouth and along the coast. I can’t remember if the information said that there was a lift, but would definitely be worth adding, as so useful for those less agile! Thanks so much!!
