Surrounded by glorious Devon countryside, this stylish purpose-built holiday lodge is a fantastic retreat for couples and families seeking a relaxing hideaway within easy reach of the coast while also being immersed in the woodlands of Exmoor. Offering cosy accommodation for up to four guests and a pet dog, this beautiful log cabin sits alongside the West Lyn River, just a mile south of the quaint Victorian town of Lynton. The lodge features lovely wooden panelling, skylights overhead and a covered veranda which makes it a great spot for trout fishing.

Entering this delightful single-level lodge via the French doors, you will find a spacious, airy and light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The pretty lounge has a welcoming coal effect electric fire, TV, DVD player and comfortable seating, perfect for a relaxing evening in. There’s a charming dining area in the corner, and the attractive kitchen has a handy additional mini breakfast bar. The lodge also has a refreshing shower room and two cosy bedrooms: a cheerful double and a sweet twin room. Outside, the veranda provides a great spot for your canine pal to relax as you enjoy a spot of fishing by the river. Steps lead down to a picnic bench perfect for enjoying a meal together as you take in this scenic area.

The cottage lies along the northern edge of Exmoor, with miles of wonderful walks for you and your pet from the door. The picturesque town of Lynton is a mile north; known as England’s Little Switzerland, the town has some dog-friendly places to eat and drink and is home to the famous Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, which your canine pal is welcome to join you on.

The Lodge is tired and needs some TLC. No torch provided and some issues reported to owner. Lovely location. Soft towels and comfortable bed. WiFi strongest in lounge.

We had a wonderful week at River View Lodge which is in a beautiful wooded spot above the river where the sound of the water is ever-present. The accommodation is good, really well equipped, and in a lovely location for walking into Lynton along a pretty lane to the cafes, shops and restaurants. We found the range of local food and hospitality exRead morecellent and also very dog friendly so we were able to take our little four legged friend along too. Great for walks in the woods and along the coast, and access to the harbour and beach in Lynmouth. Highly recommend for a base for a lovely Exmoor holiday. Hide
