Directly overlooking the West Lyn River in a beautiful wooded valley within the Exmoor National Park.   River Lodge is a privately owned property amongst a small number of lodges in a most idyllic location in the picturesque hamlet of Lynbridge. On the outskirts of the popular twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth this delightful lodge has wonderful river views and offers trout fishing directly from the property(annual rod licence only required). A verandah runs along two sides of the lodge to give you the best river views and the constant sound of the river provides a natural soundtrack to the amazing surrounding countryside. Glazed doors lead directly into an open plan living/dining room with a newly fitted kitchen. The lodge is cosy and warm inside no matter what the season and views of the West Lyn as it meanders its way over moss covered rocks and falls towards the sea can be enjoyed from the main living space. Two compact bedrooms and a small shower room lead off the kitchen area making the lodge an ideal base for couples and small families. A covered verandah and patio area at the side of the lodge is a great spot for relaxation and al fresco dining.  With a local character Inn serving good food closeby, all the amenities of Lynton within a 10 minute walk and easy access to Lynmouth via the famous cliff railway you can enjoy a great relaxing holiday amid the lush greenery in this deeply cut Exmoor valley. This is an ideal spot for walkers with wonderful river, coastal and moorland walks accessed directly from the property.  The surrounding splendour of Exmoor offers many famous beauty spots all within a short drive including, Porlock Weir, Doone Valley and Tarr Steps.  However for those who wish to venture further afield the popular coastal resort Ilfracombe with its choices of shops, galleries and restaurants are only approx. 30 minutes scenic drive whilst the glorious sandy surfing beaches of Woolacombe Bay are just a further 10 minute drive

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

Fantastic location in a peaceful gorge, trout-filled river flowing beneath the balcony, very quiet site, local area great for food and days out. River Lodge had everything we needed as a family with a dog.
