Lynmouth Cottages
Where Exmoor meets the sea, the charming resort of Lynmouth and
twin village Lynton were fondly named 'Little Switzerland'
by Victorian visitors. And it's easy to see why, with
spectacular, tree-clad cliffs tumbling down to dazzling, rocky
bays.
For sweeping views across Exmoor and the Bristol Channel, travel
from one to the other aboard the amazing, water-powered funicular
railway, leaving Lynmouth down at the coast and climbing up to
Lynton high above - you can even take your dog. Indeed, our pet
friendly cottages in Lynmouth are popular as the beach has no
seasonal restrictions whatsoever. You can also take 'Scamp'
on the Lynton and Barnstaple narrow-gauge railway and tour the
national park.
Excellent Cottage Accommodation In Lynmouth
Lynmouth itself is a delight to explore, with its ancient
harbour and huddle of fishermen's cottages. There's a good
choice of places to eat and drink, plus a handful of shops. Enjoy a
scenic boat trip along the coast or land mackerel for supper back
at your Lynmouth holiday home. Take a riverside stroll to the
waterfalls of Watersmeet and sample a scrumptious cream tea.
Find buzzards, rare mountain goats and unusual weathered
formations in the extraordinary Valley of Rocks. Expect wonderful
walks along the South West Coast Path, serious surfing in Lynmouth
Bay and challenging off-road trails on the 'Exmoor Beast
Challenge'. Delightfully lazier options include fishing (local
permits available from tourist office), putting, bowling and
watching cricket.
And if your Lynmouth cottage holiday falls in August, watch out
for the flour bombs and buckets of water thrown in fun at the
riotous raft race, all in aid of charity, of course!
