Situated on the banks of the East Lyn River, this recently refurbished property provides an ideal base for families or groups of friends to gather together and enjoy the dramatic coastal scenery where Exmoor meets the sea.  Surrounded by the diverse scenery of the Exmoor National Park this is a haven for walkers and nature lovers with a multitude of coastal and countryside walks on your doorstep and an abundance of flora and fauna waiting for you to experience. The amenities of the picturesque coastal village of Lynmouth are only a very short walk including a choice of individual shops, tea rooms, restaurants and pubs.  The famous water powered Cliff Railway provides easy (and unforgettable)access to the twin village of Lynton perched high above the cliffs. Number 17 Torrs Road has been tastefully furnished in a contemporary style, whilst retaining the character and charm of the cottage. A cosy living room greets you with open fire, ideal for the cooler seasons. At the rear of the property is the well equipped and stylish kitchen are with dining table seating 6 and door to enclosed courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining. The bedrooms are split over two floors, the first floor has a spacious double room with TV and ensuite facilities and a further attractive twin bedroom with TV and spacious shower room adjacent. Steep stairs lead to the second floor single room with sloping ceilings and views of the surrounding woodland. The property is cosy and welcoming and with the sound of the water rushing to the sea and views of the river and valley, we are certain you wouldn't be disappointed with this holiday home choice. With high cliffs and delightful coves running right the way from Porlock to Ilfracombe and the magnificent sandy surfing beaches of the 'Golden Coast' including Woolacombe within an hour's drive there is plenty to explore along North Devon's coastline.  Exploring inland by foot, car or horseback, the deeply cut river valleys, historic and characterful villages  and the open moorland of Exmoor offer something very special.

Weve stayed at Number 17 twice before and again it didnt disappoint. Location is amazing. Great to be able to leave your car parked up for the week and do brilliant walks straight from the door. We were lucky with the weather, but think if it was colder parts of the house might feel cold for some people.

Lovely cottage, really well appointed and equipped. Comfy beds, quality fixtures and fittings. The utility room is a good addition. Everything you could want in a holiday home. Parking in the road outside the cottage can be tricky at times but we just parked further along. Just check opening/closing/serving of places in Lynmouth. Also no supermarkeRead moret in Lynmouth or anywhere to get fresh produce/supplies, you have to visit Lynton which is up the hill. Hide

The cottage is tastefully decorated and in an idyllic location, very handy for the lovely walk to Watersmeet and for Lynmouth shops. The funicular railway trip up to Lynton is a must. Parking and pulling out of Tors road onto Countisbury Road can be a little difficult on a busy day.

Great cottage in a very picturesque location, the cottage was immaculate and had high quality equipment and furnishings. A few minutes walk to the shops and pubs in lynmouth and the cliff railway or a 10 minute walk up the hill to Lynton. Parking was limited on our arrival Saturday but was a small car park at the end of the road if you cant parRead morek but would advise to unload the car before driving to end as its a bit of a walk with your bags back to the cottage. Would recommend staying here !! Hide
