    “This place was amazing.”

    I was really looking forward to our stay after reading previous reviews and seeing the wonderful photos of the views.

    I was really looking forward to our stay after reading previous reviews and seeing the wonderful photos of the views. Also all the Information that we received from the owner with regards to places to eat, especially as we had vegetarians and a gluten free in the party, all the info that was provided helped us plan our days, it was so very informative and accurate, especially when I was asking lots of questions about, the best beaches to visit and where to go with a 16 year old. As soon as we drove our car on to the car park I was smitten with the views. Upon entering the property I was not disappointed and could not believe how well equipped and clean the place was. I could not fault anything about it. There is even a lift up to the property which we used to take our luggage up to save carrying it. The kitchen was spotless with all mod cons, the lounge area was comfortable and with the panoramic views we felt we did not need to leave the Penthouse. There were plenty of games to play, dvds to watch and even an X Box for the 16 year old. I loved the quirkiness of the property being “upside down”. The bedrooms were huge with plenty of space and lots of room for clothes. The views from two of the bedrooms was stunning and we are going to miss waking up to the sound of the sea and the view of the wonderful coastline. The bathrooms were very well equipped, modern and comfortable. The whole experience was just what we all needed with us living a very hectic life working and being the carers of our mother who has dementia, it was the break we all needed. I am home now and feel totally refreshed and ready to face normality again. The owner was extremely approachable and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to experience a relaxing holiday or even if you are prepared to walk the coastal paths with more breathtaking views. The Valley of the Rocks was stunning and we walked there a few times during our stay. We will definitely be back.

    Thank you for taking the trouble to leave such lovely feedback, it really made my day! It was a genuine pleasure to be able to provide the info you needed to help with your holiday planning - and in all honesty, I love Lynton so much, I really want everyone else to love it too; to learn here that you enjoyed it so much has made me really happy. And as I'm a vegetarian with teenagers, it was no trouble to share the benefit of my experience! Thanks once again for your kind words - it would be a pleasure to welcome you back to PHLB in the future. Property Owner

The property

A superb penthouse with outstanding sea views nestling in the delightful Exmoor Park town of Lynton.

The apartment has been styled with a touch of luxury throughout and offers wonderful accommodation for a couple, family or a group of friends to get away to the North Devon coast.

Guests can access the penthouse either by stairs, or the lift which arrives outside its front door.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted to a well-presented hallway, oozing a sense of tranquillity from the outset.

The three large bedrooms and two bathrooms are all on this level, while the living areas are up a small staircase in a bright open-plan loft room above.

The apartment hosts three elegant bedrooms including one which can be configured either as a super-king or twin room, the sizeable master room with king-size bed, en-suite bathroom and sofa overlooking the bay, and a second king-size bedroom which boasts spectacular sea views.

The en-suite bathroom has been completely replaced this year, to create an invitingly serene and luxurious space, with bath and overhead shower.

Meanwhile, the second bathroom, has also been significantly refurbished, retaining its large walk-in shower, and benefiting from stylish new sanitary ware and fittings.

Follow the carpeted staircase up and you emerge into a delightful open-plan living area, decorated in a neutral colour palette, with comfortable furnishings and all the necessities required for a relaxing stay.

There are wonderful sea views from each of the three small balconies, while internally, the exposed beams reinforce the loft-style feel of this contemporary area.

At one end there is a well-equipped kitchen, with electric hob and cooker, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as a new, cleverly designed dining area with a large table that comfortably seats six.

After dinner, guests can unwind in the cosy seating area, where comfortable sofas nestle by an elegant chaise lounge, and watch the TV/DVD or simply marvel at the view. In 1925, the view from this building compelled the author CS Lewis to write: “The view from the balcony was beyond everything I have ever seen,” and it remains spectacular and unspoilt to this day.

While staying here, you and your family can take a ride on the highest water-powered railway in the world and walk the famous Valley of the Rocks, both just a few minutes’ walk from the apartment. While Penthouse Lynmouth Bay is in walking distance of numerous pubs, restaurants and shops, its unique location means it is a quiet and incredibly peaceful place to stay. Half an hour’s drive will allow guests to reach the larger seaside towns of Ilfracombe and Minehead as well as the beautiful sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde, not to mention the gardens, stately homes and wonderful countryside of North Devon.

The Penthouse Lynmouth Bay is an outstanding property and an ideal tranquil retreat for the entire family.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

LYNTON

Lynton and its twin Lynmouth are nestled within Exmoor National Park on the North Devon coast. Lynton and Lynmouth enjoy one of the prettiest and most unspoilt coastal locations in England, offering breathtaking scenery and some of the best opportunities to admire the sheer rugged beauty of Exmoor’s coast and countryside. Great heritage, cosy fireside pubs, tasty local food and 'green’ credentials make North Devon an inspiring place to stay. There is a wealth of wildlife including magnificent red deer, the rare Exmoor pony, wild birds and rare butterflies. There are plenty of outdoor pursuits including horse riding, golf, walking, surfing and fly fishing on the beautiful Lyn river. Exmoor National Park is home to some of the darkest skies in the country so it's a great place to gaze at the stars. Lynton has a fabulous range of shops, pubs and cafes where you can wander between the picturesque cottages and meet the friendly locals. There are a number of attractions for the family including Exmoor Zoo, Lynmouth’s water-powered cliff railway, and the Owl and Hawk Centre.
