Park Setting

Hiding high up amongst the rolling hills of Exmoor and nuzzling the dramatic cliffscape of the North Devon coastline, Lynmouth Holiday retreat settles into the dramatic backdrop overlooking Lynmouth bay and the gentle buzz of it’s harbourside-town. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or looking to own your own holiday home on site to visit whenever you desire, it’s the perfect place to get away and reset amongst the rolling hills of Exmoor.

The town of Lynmouth went from a tiny fishing village to a thriving Victorian tourist resort dubbed ‘Little Switzerland for it’s rolling hills, sheer cliffs and cascading rivers. Whilst the World around may be ever changing, both Lynton & Lynmouth retain their vintage charm, frozen in the reminiscence of an earlier time, the towns are separated by the highest water powered funicular railway in the World and adjoin the infamous mountainscape – The Valley of Rocks.

If the surrounding area was anything to go by, the Retreat itself will certainly not disappoint, with its own dog walking meadow, firecracker laden hedgerows, bewildering bay views and the South West Coast path sat right on your doorstep, this Coast and Country Park offers an idyllic trip back to nature and simpler times. With its quaint meandering roads, lack of large supermarkets, luscious hillside valleys and snippets of Victorian trinkets in the way of old cast iron street lamps and red postboxes – now turned into lending libraries, Lynmouth Holiday Retreat, like the surrounding area celebrates its enchanting history, natural beauty and varied lanscapes at the very heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
