Ferndale

Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage.

Everything was as described couldn’t fault anything we didn’t use the car which is a big plus still plenty left to see and do so there’s a good chance we’ll be back thanks again Stuart and Gail

Beautifully situated cottage overlooking a wooded valley.

The cottage is comfortable inside with all that you would need; Paul and Wendy will help with anything else. There are loads of good walking options and plenty of places to visit. The sound of birdsong in the evenings outside the front door (mid-May) was fantastic!

Fantastic location for walkers.

We didn't use the car once.

Had a really lovely holiday great accommodation and great hosts

Lovely accommodation but it could use a grab rail when coming out of the shower

Amazingly quiet and tranquil with an easy 15 minute walk via a well lit pedestrian lane.

The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the large walk in shower with good water pressure was great. Easy to find with Paul's very good directions. No negatives at all.

Ferndale is a lovely, well appointed, warm, cosy yet spacious ‘holiday let’ with a large bedroom and comfortable king size bed.

It’s well maintained and presented by the hosts who are friendly, helpful and keen to please. The single store cottage is set in a rural location just outside Lynton ideal for walkers and those that want to explore the hidden gems of Exmoor and North Devon with a little bit of Somerset thrown in. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable and warm property.

Within easy walking distance to Lynton it’s an ideal place to stay if you want to explore the area. As we arrived in the dark the clear, detailed directions sent via email by the owners were very much appreciated.

We had a lovely stay, pity it wasn't longer.

Plenty to do and see in the area and the owners were lovely. And the Thai meal we had, literally just down the hill at the Cottage Inn was superb. We would definitely recommend staying here and will visit again ourselves too.

Well appointed, spacious cottage in beautiful surrounding.

Parking in front of cottage, so very easy to unload and load car. Twenty minute walk to good pub for meals.

Quiet and good location.

Shower and washroom not ideal, especially exiting shower was awkward. There was nowhere to place things in the wash area, steps in both shower and wash room were not ideal, especially during the night.

Peter and Wendy made us feel very welcome with helpful information on places to visit and where to eat.

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and very peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very clean and tidy apartment.

The living area and bedroom are very spacious which is a big plus point. So much to do and see locally with Lynton a real treat with its quaint shops, cafes and restaurants. Our favourite restaurant was The Old Bank. Further afield the West Somerset Railway at Minehead and Dunster are well worth a visit. TV was internet only so we could not get UK stations, BBC etc. but that was not a big issue.

Ferndale is the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in!

Paul and Wendy have provided just about everything you could wish for including a wonderfully comfortable bed! The location is also perfect being just a 10 minute walk from a wide selection of pubs and restaurants. We will definitely return for another stay!

A very fine, spacious, comfortable, well furnished ground floor apartment in a spectacular location.

Absolutely quiet - no traffic, human or vehicular, no aircraft. Dark sky, clean sea air, a heaven for walkers. Decidedly one of the very best places we’ve stayed in many years of travel, here and overseas.

Ferndale was beautiful.

Very highly maintained and so comfortable. It had everything that was needed for our 5 night stay.

Ferndale has everything you need for your stay.

It is spacious, comfortable, clean and warm and has a very welcome parking space. The interior is tastefully decorated and well equipped with quality furnishings, a very nice bathroom and all you need in the kitchen. The TV has no ariel but streaming services are available so remember to bring your login details with you. Ferndale is in a quiet location but Lynton is only a 10 minute walk away along a pleasant footpath (with a steep but short hill as you enter the village) where there are cafes and the not to be missed Lyn Valley Art & Craft Centre which is a cut above many other so-called craft centres. Charlie Fridays Coffee Shop serves an excellent breakfast and good coffee too. Lynmouth can be accessed by the funicular railway and a very nice Sunday lunch can be enjoyed at the The Ancient Mariner pub. Wendy and Paul are excellent hosts, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Ferndale.

We had a fantastic break, the accomodation was perfect and exactly as described.

We will definately be back (assuming the property maintains its no pet stance - we like dogs but one of us is allergic). Nicely decorated, super clean, well equiped, comfy bed and decent shower. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks.

We spent a very enjoyable week at Ferndale.

The accommodation is warm and comfortable, with all the facilities you need after a day’s walking or cycling. The area has lots to offer without needing to use the car and being able to walk into Lynton is a real bonus. Wendy and Paul are very welcoming hosts and we would definitely consider a return visit.

I visited in autumn, looking out to the colourful trees.

A gorgeous property, well decorated, with a large comfortable bed. A beautiful area, lovely walks, places for coffee and food, particularly The Moorland Pantry, which is also a deli and shop, and Charlie Fridays. Glorious bus ride to Minehead, and also Barnstaple. Great to visit Lynton/Lynmouth without the crowds, even with some places closed, including cliff railway, was not a detraction. Great fish and chips at The Esplanade in Lynmouth. The owners of the property are delightful.

Ferndale is a perfect bolthole in a beautiful area.

The apartment is clean, comfortable and well equipped and the owners Paul and Wendy, next door, are welcoming and helpful. We only used the car once during the week to visit Dunster Castle (well worth a visit). Otherwise the immediate area is full of stunning walks both coastal and along the rivers - but be prepared for some steep climbs! We made good use of the cliff railway. Thank you Paul and Wendy for a lovely break.

2nd time that we have used this great accommodation set in a superb location and containing all that we require for a comfortable stay, and so quiet!

The property was first class in every respect, very comfortable, spacious and well equipped.

The shops and pubs were within walking distance but the route included uneven ground and steep gradients which would be difficult for those with mobility issues.

The property is stylish and very comfortable.

It is also very spacious. The friendly owners had thought of everything.

We could not fault the property,it has everything anyone could possibly want,the view across the valley is fantastic for watching the wild life.

A wonderful cottage, comfortable and well equipped

Great stay at Ferndale.

In a wonderful peaceful position but with easy access to all amenities, and we found that there were plenty of eating places within a short walk of the property. Warm and comfortable with everything you need.

Excellent property.

The only things missing were a pint glass for a beer and a decent sized glass for a G&T!

Ferndale is a fabulous cottage for 2 very clean and nicely decorated.

Bed very comfy.just spent a week there with lots of amenities close by. A great walk into Lynton/ Lynmouth with lovely views all around .Paul and Wendy were next door if we needed anything but not intrusive at all. Thai restaurant just at the bottom of lane serving very tasty food. If you like walking then this cottage is perfectly situated. Only took car out once.we would highly recommend a stay there. Hopefully we can return for another great holiday Thank you Paul and Wendy for the wine xx Jane & Pete from Northampton

Ferndale is a self-contained holiday home, adjacent to LynBridge House.

Once parked up (a bonus in the area) you enter Ferndale to be treated by a spacious kitchen/dining/living area. The furnishings are contemporary, the furniture is comfortable, and the kitchen has large work surfaces with all the appliances, etc you need. The bedroom is spacious with a large comfortable bed. The bathroom is acceptable. Top tips are: The Olde Cottage Inn - Thai Food, Pizzas, Microbrewery - loved it. Charlie Fridays cafe is great. Get the Cliff Railway down to Lynmouth, The Ancient Mariner is recommended - watch the times for the return trip on the Cliff Railway. We can tell you the walk back is not for the fainthearted! The Valley of the Rocks is a great coastal walk with many photo opportunities and nearby Combe Martin has a nice beach (when the tide is out). Overall, we loved our time at Ferndale; it's a great base for a splendid part of Devon.

Really pleased with our stay in Ferndale in Lynton.

Modern furnishing, comfortable and well equipped kitchen. Excellent communication from Paul who was welcoming and helpful when the power went out during a storm.

Very comfortable and excellent location.

We enjoyed our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ferndale Cottage.

It was in a great location, easy to access the local area and short drives from other areas of interest. The facilities were amazing, everything we could have needed! It was beautifully decorated and very comfortable to sleep and spend time relaxing. Even when we had an issue with the toilet, the owner was prompt in giving us a temporary solution before getting a plumber in the next day. We would love to stay again in the future. Thank you so much!

A very comfortable large1 bedroom accommodation tucked away in Lyngate just outside Lynton.

..a gentle 10 minute stroll takes you down to the heart of Lynton with all the local facilities. This is kept to a high standard and presents itself well with some cosmetic touches to finish the presentation. The owners are charming and helpful.

The property was very clean and well equipped and in a stunning location with views of the hills (and the deer) and an easy walk into Lynton where there are cafes, shops and pubs.

We had planned to explore the surrounding area by car, but there were so many fabulous walks that we stayed local and didn't use the car all week. The (very) local pub was also a Thai restaurant with its own microbrewery and was excellent. We were lucky in having very good weather, but would recommend both the property and the area, as long as you're prepared for a few hills!

The apartment was clean comfortable and very well appointed.

Lovely location.
