Blue Bay

Fantastic location, second time we have stayed in these apartments, first time in Blue Bay.

Lounge, kitchen and bedroom on first floor were amazing, bedroom and bathroom on lower floor a bit disappointing as no views and felt a little claustrophobic and damp

Well equipped accommodation, especially the kitchen right down to having a Tea Pot (thank you) a welcome drink, cakes, milk etc.

Ample cleaning supplies. Location and views are are fabulous. There's a lift to upper floors which is a bonus should you need it.

Clean spacious apartment with all the amenities you could wish for and a comfortable bed.

We were two but Blue Bay could comfortably take another couple with it's bedroom down the stairs without feeling cramped. It is only a couple of minutes away from the centre of Lynton. The information folder gave helpful recommendations on places to visit, restaurants and walks. The unique clifftop railway is a must, although the path down to (and up from) Lynmouth is close to Blue Bay. Ideal place To stay.

We would just like to say what a beautiful accommodation!

There was everything you could want ! Beautiful clean comfortable beds etc we would love come back.Thank you very much! Mark and Sara

Great apartment, lovely views over the bay, plenty of parking and 1 min walk into Lynton.

Great base for the area,five minute walk to the amazing funicular railway.

Great for cliff walks and within a comfortable hike to Watersmeet. Amazing views, peaceful with the sound of the swifts and the sea. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back

Very helpful owner with good, prompt and helpful communications.

The accommodation has an excellent position in Lynton with a great prospect. It is well appointed although a little faded in part. Overall it is comfortable and fit for purpose. Lynton is quickly exhausted however so be prepared to take in other areas in the vicinity.

We had a lovely time at our stay in blue bay with no complaints.

Excellent location and friendly staff on site when we arrived, you will not be disappointed with what the apartment has to offer.

Blue Bay apartment is one of the best we have ever stayed in: comfortable, tastefully decorated and well appointed.

It has everything we needed and more and the view was simply stunning. It has set a very high bar for us now. We hope to return and will meanwhile recommend it to our friends.

We enjoyed our stay in your beautiful apartment.

It was tastefully decorated and very comfortable, and the views from the sitting room and bedroom were breath taking. We have an elderly dog and being able to use the lift instead of the stairs was a bonus.

The views were stunning,all manor of walks on your doorstep.

The property was very well equiped and clean as well as being well maintained.Shops,chemist etc just a walk away.A wide variety of cafes and restaurants for all tastes. thoroughly recommend this for walkers and families alike.Owner is just an email away if a problem occurs.

This apartment is stunning.

Incredibly well located - one minute walk to shops, eating places and pubs and the railway down to Lynmouth. Straight out onto the coastal path and loads of great walks. The apartment has absolutely everything you could possibly need and all of high quality. We cannot recommend Blue Bay highly enough. Fantastic.

Fantastic location with beautiful sea views!

Convenient for the cliff railway (or very steep footpath) down to Lynmouth. The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped - and the owner sent us some useful information prior to arrival. He was also quick to respond to a small query about the heating. Would recommend.

Lovely stay at Blue Bay .

Spotlessly clean and very well equipped . I'm sure it will be much easier to drive out from the car park when the fallen tree is removed.

We enjoyed our holiday very much.

We have stayed in penthouse upstairs before. The only little thing was the lack of window view in the downstairs bedroom which I know you can't do anything about. The other thing was the heating it was rather chilly around 5.00 and you couldn't put heating on.although it said just ask to turn it on. When on holiday you don't want to be calling all the time. But neither of the above spoiled our holiday we had a good time there. And would definitely recommend going therex

We had a great stay at Blue Bay.

We were comfortable and we thought the owner had provided everything we would need for a week in a holiday let. We also liked that the ornaments and pictures made Blue Bay homely and the lighting was spot on which so often isn't the case in holiday lets. Definitely we would stay again at Lynton Cottage.

A very well equipped and spacious apartment with stunning views and good parking and probably the best we have ever stayed at.

Will definitely go back at sometime in the future.

Amazing property, really clean and comfortable.

Fantastic array of crockery, cutlery and cookware, nothing was overlooked. Comfortable beds, great showers. Contacted the owner to ask for the downstairs heating to be adjusted, this was done straight away. We have stayed in Lynton many times and this was the best accommodation we have used.

Ideal position, lovely holiday and apartment

The location of the property in Lynton is excellent.

We always had a parking spot in the shared car park despite there being around 10 other holiday apartments in the building. The kitchen was also very well equiped. The view out of the 2 front facing windows (one in the lounge, one in bedroom 1) were good but I would say because of the orientation of the windows in the rooms, you could only see the view if you were sat in the right place. The bedroom window was a small bay window side on to the sea view, and in the corner of a very large room. The rest of the windows in the property faced the back cliff/vegatation/back of other apartments in the buildling, so not much natural light coming in through them. Bedroom 1 could have done with a chest of drawers as we had to live out of suitcases all week. We had two quite significant issues with the property overall, which has impacted our holiday, which is a shame. Firstly, the downstairs room. It is described as 'quirky' in the listing but it is in fact somewhat of a cellar type room with an incredible damp and fusty smell, which we think it unsuitable for sleeping in or spending any time in at all. You enter the main building through a shared hallway through a (very) old door stepping on old gravestones as flagstones. The cellar/basement room is off this and has door leading to this area. This is just one of 6 doors in this basement room. One is a back door to the cliff area/back of house, one to the upstairs apartment, one to the bathroom, one is a locked large cupboard, and one is behind the wardrobe. There are 4 windows but all look out on to internal walls or outside walls. It's dark, claustrophic, smelly and the bedding felt damp. My daughter ended up sleeping on the floor in our room upstairs the whole week. The second issue was the bed and bedding in the upstairs room. I realise that comfort is subjective, but we found the bed to be vey uncomfortable, not helped by poor quality duvet and pillows. Synthetic and well past their plumpness, both of my pillows were completely flat. When we took the sheets off at the end of the week as we were leaving, the undersheet had stains, hairs and bits of dirt. It was just not up to the usual standard of Sykes cottages that we have come to appreciate. Such a shame as for the money paid we had high hopes. We'll be returning to Lynton but not Blue Bay.

First impressions as you drive into the property are not great, the external appearance looks a bit travel worn.

Once inside the apartment is superb, clean and well maintained, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped. The views from the apartment are superb but the garden areas are in need of some tlc.

Awesome, although this year I hope they finally fix the ground floor shower.

Last year We didn't get any water there. Luckily there are 2 bathrooms.

We had a brilliant stay at Blue Bay, the property was fabulous and spotlessly clean, we really appreciated the wine and cake left by the owner most welcome.

Lynton and Lynmouth are great places to visit with lots to see and do, food is excellent in the area and there is some fantastic walking to be done. Easy to recommend both the property and the area, looking forwards to returning.

Such a nice location with stunning views with just a short stroll into Lynmouth.

The apartment is well maintained and filled with homely touches and good decor it felt more homely than other holiday accomodation we have stayed in. We liked the bottle of prosseco and cake too. We had a very relaxing week and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Blue bay apartment has everything you could wish for in a holiday let A special mention to the cleaners as the apartment was spotless We had a fantastic stay the view are to die for Also we made use of the local pubs and cafes Highly recommend

Excellent property and will be looking at going back next year.

The owner is very quick to reply if you have a question and the standard of the accommodation is far more than we expected.

Blue Bay is a wonderful apartment on two floors, beautiful views, great for two couples.

Very well equipped & attractively furnished & most comfortable. No negatives except steep slopes. Location very close to Lynton town. Hope to visit again.

Blue Bay is a spacious, airy apartment with lovely sea views.

It has comfortable modern furnishings, was very well equipped, and spotlessly clean. A very convenient location for some outstanding walks.

Overall had an excellent stay in a great location.

Beautiful apartment.

Kitchen fully equipped with all mod cons. Decor throughout was first class and views were wonderful

Had a wonderful stay at Blue Bay.

This fabulous, spacious apartment with stunning views has everything you need and more. Great communications from the friendly owner we would not hesitate in recommending this accommodation if you want a relaxing holiday. Thank you, already looking forward to our next visit.

A comfortable and well presented apartment in a beautiful and quiet location, conveniently situated in the centre of Lynton and with excellent walks right from the doorstep.

Access and car parking could be challenging, not helped by the exit from the property being blocked by a fallen tree, and the communal garden was not as accessible as we had imagined from the description, but the views were stunning. There was a slightly damp smell in the ground floor bedroom, due to the lack of natural ventilation.

We had a wonderful stay, thank you, such a beautiful apartment.

The only two niggles were that the radiator in the living room would not heat up and the TV in the bedroom

A lovely location and the apartment and facilitates were perfect.

I would recommend this to anyone.

apart from the weather, we had a lovely time in lynton its just wonderfull the dog loved it too .

the apartment was just perfect had everything you needed and more would highly recommend this accommodation

The property was spacious, comfortable and designed and decorated to a very high standard with exceptional amenities, fittings, furniture, kitchen equipment etc.

In fact, everything one may have required and more! Clearly a great deal of thought and consideration have been applied when designing and furnishing this property. The location was amazing - central to the sections of the south west coastal path that we wished to walk during this stay with great restaurants and facilities close by. I would certainly return! The proprietor was exceptionally helpful in returning items that I had left at the property after my stay. He could not have been any more amenable or helpful. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for this.

We had a very nice stay, the property was spacious, but a bit confusing when reading initially (but there again the property IS a bit confusing) perhaps the description could be better, for example a floor plan.

Lynton was new to us and we had not realised just how hilly is would be straight from the door, but did make the views magnificent. The lower/family room worked for my mother to avoid some of the stairs, but had not really got any window view at all. We did have a concern over the bed linen, but I only mention to indicate the housekeeper resolved immediately and were very friendly and helpful.

A few small quibbles:- Toilet brush too large for its pot Local info not up to date Lounge chairs not very comfortable

Kitchen very well equipped.

Cleanliness in bathrooms not good enough. Everything else very good

Lovely beautiful flat with stunning views.

Everything worked. We particularly loved the informal approach to enjoying our stay.

Fantastic apartment with the best view I have ever seen from my lounge window.

The location was amazing! I almost don’t want to recommend Blue Bay in case I can never go back there again because it is fully booked!!

Beautiful apartment with amazing views.

Downstairs family room stayed lovely and cool and was dark enough to keep our 3 month old asleep in the morning! She had a great first holiday!

Second time we've been here and love the cottages, can't fult the facilities, clenliness and quality of the apartments, just a shame that new carpets appeared to have been laid and there was a really bad smell of glue that took a couple of days to go.

Great location, I didn't know anything about Lynton until I read about the scenic Glen Lyn Gorge in the weekly Waitrose newspaper.

I was very impressed with Lynton, such a picturesque village, and the apartment is located within a few minutes walk from some lovely pub and restaurants. The apartment in itself is beautiful, very stylish, clean, with all the amenities (if you prefer to cook) and it is perfect for couples or families. There is a spectacular view of the sea from the lounge and 1st floor bedroom window! and it is such a treat to look at the sea first thing in the morning and late at night! We stayed with our baby and our dog, and everything was catered for! If you do have a dog, there are some lovely walks right outside the apartment (there is a poop bin outside the Town Hall, just a few mins walk away) and we were pleasantly surprised at how many shops, pub and restaurants welcomed dogs! The communication with the owner was great, he sent us an email with information about the local area, restaurants, etc, and even allowed us an earlier check in as there were no guests staying the night before. Checking-in and checking-out was very straight forward! I'd highly recommend taking either the funicular (for the beautiful views) or walking to Lynmouth harbour, which is very pretty, and really recommend the fish & chips at Lynmouth Harbour (instead of the one in Lynton). Other restaurants recommended by the owner that we loved were Vanilla Pod (Middle Eastern food), The Oak Room (Spanish food) and Nartnapa Thai Kitchen. A brilliant pub is the The Crown Pub! The staff at the pub and restaurants were so lovely! And Lynton is a great base to explore North Devon: driving along the coast to the beautiful village of Porlock or Woolacombe, one of North Devon's most beautiful beaches! I would definitely like to come back with my parents-in-law!

Nice accommodation in good position very comfortable bed but disappointed to find dirty knives and forks in draw in kitchen

Excellent communication beforehand about access, facilities etc.

Really good. Lovely location of apartment. Ideal for walking and lovely views from small garden area. Upstairs bedroom was great.

Fantastic apartment, fully equipt and felt like a home not holiday let.

Best view ever from apartment. Very roomy bedrooms. Lots of places to eat and drink nearby.
