Property code: OC-ABERLY

There could not be a better view of the East Lyn River in Lynmouth than from the balcony of Aberlyn – a beautifully presented, contemporary two-bedroomed, two shower room apartment. This top floor apartment has a panoramic view from its balcony of the valley and the river below and it’s easy to imagine sitting there enjoying the tranquillity after a day exploring North Devon and Exmoor. Aberlyn has a private entrance at the back which is accessed via a short path and a couple of steps. Once inside, you are immediately drawn to the bi-folding doors in the large open plan living/dining/kitchen area which open out onto the balcony. The living area is beautifully furnished and benefits from a woodburner which has a complimentary supply of logs upon arrival, whilst the modern kitchen/dining area is great for meals with family and friends. Both of the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms – one bedroom has a superking, whilst the other has twin beds. Outside, there is a private parking space in the lane next to the path leading to the apartment. The centre of Lynmouth with its wide variety of harbourside restaurants, shops and pubs is a few minutes’ walk down the hill. A slightly longer walk to the east will take you to Watersmeet, a dramatic river gorge where the East Lyn River and Hoar Oak Water merge, just over one and a half miles from Lynmouth. Once a fishing lodge, Watersmeet House is now owned by The National Trust, and has over 2,000 acres to explore. Following your walk why not sit, relax and enjoy the gardens surrounding the house, sample a Devon cream tea or look around the gift shop. At certain times of the year, you can canoe or fish for salmon or trout from Watersmeet House.

The apartment is lovely and spacious. The area is quiet, with only the sound of the river below being heard at night. The beds and sofas are all very comfortable. All the amenities are a short walk from the apartment, it should be noted that this is down steep, gravely steps, so may not be good for people with mobility issues though most people wilRead morel be fine. The parking is tight, and the turning area to do a 3 or 4 point turn to get back out is along a narrow road with lots of overhanging plans that were setting the car sensors off continually. This may not suit inexperienced or nervous drivers. As mentioned in other reviews, there are a lot of spiders and bugs in the property due to the location. They don't bother you, but if you don't like spiders, this may not be the place for you. We had a fantastic week exploring Lynton and Lynmouth as well as the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend this property. Hide

Aberlyn is situated in a lovely position on the hillside just below Tors Park (which is now famous because of the Salt Path book and movie). The apartment has the most charming balcony with views towards the river and Lynmouth village. Whilst the house is on a slope, there are steps to reach the road or you could walk down the hillside road. It wRead moreas an easy 2k walk all the way through the village and across the bridge to the beach and back again which we did a couple of times a day with our little dog. In the village there are numerous places to eat and drink. We had a really lovely lunch at Mad4Seafood which is dog friendly. We also had Cornish pasties and fish and chips on different days. There is no food store or supermarket in Lynmouth but there is a small Londis store in Lynton and a big Tesco in Ilfracombe. The apartment is spacious and quite comfortable. We slept very well indeed in the comfy beds and enjoyed good, hot showers in the bathrooms. Bath sheets and hand towels provided were a good, large size. The weather was mixed when we were staying but, luckily there was efficient central heating which we put on for an hour one evening when it was cold and damp outside. Finally, we would like to thank Mike and Yvonne and their family for their kindness when we had a problem in the kitchen which they quickly rectified without any fuss. Hide
