Set in a beautiful
location with quite simply the most stunning views
|
 |

The Lynton Cottage Hotel is idyllically
positioned on North Devon's breathtaking coastline, close
to the wild, untamed beauty of Exmoor and Lorna Doone Country.
With its dramatic scenery, majestic animals and rare birds,
it is a paradise for lovers of the countryside.
The entrance to the hotel is set directly on North Walk,
part of the North Devon coastal path, where a breathtaking
15 minutes walk will lead you into the remarkable Valley of
The Rocks.

The Valley of The Rocks |

| The valley, created during the
Ice Age has spectacular weathered rock formations with
names such as 'The Devil's Cheesering' and 'Ragged Jack'.
The picturesque valley has its own population of wild
goats. |

Twister
and Nemo

| From here you can continue
westwards to several enchanting bays or you might consider
'saving your legs' and letting Twister and Nemo (2 British
Percherons) bring you back into Lynton, this bright
and airy Victorian village with its selection of shops,
tea-rooms, and cafes, just 2 minutes walk from The Lynton
Cottage Hotel.
Walking the paths through the Hotel's 3 acres of gardens
will lead you into the pretty harbour village of Lynmouth
some 600' below. Here you can wonder through the quaint
fishing cottages, craft shops and cafes or take a romantic
walk along the beach. When you're ready to return to
the comfort of your hotel you will no doubt be tempted
to take the unique water operated cliff railway dating
back to 1890 which joins Lynmouth to its sister village
of Lynton. |

Watersmeet |
| The spectacular views from Lynton Cottage
Hotel owe as much to the Lyn Valley as they to do to the
picturesque bay. In complete contrast, this steep sided
wooded valley follows the course of the East Lyn river
to Watersmeet where a Victorian fishing lodge is now a
National Trust run tea shop. Dramatic waterfalls and amazing
autumn and spring colours provide a constantly changing
vista. |
| Inland from Lynton and Lynmouth there are
numerous walking (or for the less energetic - driving)
opportunities in the rugged scenery of the Exmoor National
Park. The park has over 600 miles of marked footpaths.
Exmoor is abundant with wildlife - ponies, sheep and majestic
red deer graze the open moorland, as falcons, buzzards
and the rare Merlin circle overhead. |
