A Coastal Escape Where River Meets Sea

Lynmouth is a village full of character and heart, set at the bottom of steep, wooded cliffs with the sea on one side and the rushing East Lyn River on the other. It has a calm, laid back feel, with quirky streets, stone cottages, and a scenic harbour that really sets the mood for a peaceful breakaway.

The area is a dream for anyone who enjoys being outdoors. You can wander beside the river towards the famous Watersmeet, take in the coastal views from the surrounding cliffs, or spend time exploring the independent cafes and small shops around the village. And with our sea view cottages you can appreciate the scenic views in style. This beautiful and relaxed village makes Lynmouth a special place to stay.

Booking one of our Lynmouth holiday cottages gives you a cosy place to stay, with easy access to walking trails, viewpoints, and all the simple pleasures the village offers.

Things to Do in Lynmouth

Lynmouth is the kind of place where you can slow down without ever feeling bored. The harbour sits at the centre of everything, with the sea on one side and the river running through the village, giving it a really calm, easy going feel. It’s lovely just to stroll along the water, dip into the shops or grab a coffee while you watch the boats come and go.

If you enjoy walking, you’re in a great spot. You can follow the riverside path through woodland, which is one of the prettiest routes in the area with waterfalls, shaded trails and plenty of spots to stop for a breather. The coast path is close by as well, offering exquisite sea views and a bit more of a challenge if you want it.

The Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway is a favourite for visitors, giving you a fun ride up to Lynton and a superb view of the bay. Once you’re up there, you can wander around the shops or head out towards the Valley of Rocks.

Lynmouth is also a good place for some simple pleasures. Fresh fish and chips by the harbour, a quiet afternoon on the beach when the tide’s right or a browse around the small galleries and independent local shops. It’s easy, laid back and great for a proper escape.

All our Lynmouth holiday cottages put you close to the best bits of the village, while still giving you a peaceful spot to unwind at the end of the day.
