Wake up to the sight and sound of the rushing East Lyn River in an idyllic cottage that’s perfectly placed for families or friends sharing and two VIPs—very important pets. This pretty, period property sleeps eight guests, plus two dogs and is within a 0.5-mile stroll of the picturesque harbour village of Lynmouth. Set on the banks of the river, the cottage is bright, light and simply furnished for comfort and style. There are lovely views from all main windows and two enclosed suntrap patios, with wonderful walks on Exmoor and the glorious coastline on the doorstep.
The cottage is full of character, with lots of space for your canine companions to stretch out for a nap after a day’s fun. Relax on a comfortable sofa in the cosy living room in front of a raised wood burner. The delightful white and pale wood kitchen/diner, with a part-vaulted ceiling, has stable doors leading outside, while the first floor houses two inviting bedrooms: a king-size and a twin. On the second floor are a double and a super-king-size bedroom. Outside, the pretty patios overlooking the river have garden furniture and a BBQ so ideal for spending time on warmer evenings
Stroll along the riverbank to Lynmouth for a browse round its independent shops, dog-friendly pubs and eating spots. Pets can romp all year round on the dog-friendly shingle beach, with it sheltered waters. Canine companions are welcome aboard the famous, water-powered funicular train which whisks you up to the twin village of Lynton, 152m above, with breathtaking views of the North Devon coast. From your holiday home, take the beautiful 2-mile walk to Watersmeet (with your pup on a lead), where the East Lyn and Hoar Oak rivers converge; then enjoy a Devon cream tea in the historic Watersmeet House tearoom.
