    “Lovely location,great views.”

    We did have a few issues.The bedding had a few stains and smelt 'foosty' and clump of hair a couple pubes in bed ;[ and asked for it to be changed,which it was next day.All of us also found mattresse's lumpy and uncomfortable.

Window frames in double bedroom and shower room needed a DEEP clean.This may seem petty but to me is basics of cleaning and these have not been done for a long time!The loo seat in shower room was really loose ,which we reported but not fixed,and all towels had some smell as bedding,maybe its where they are stored? There was a lot of crumbs between sofa cushions,and some black mould in shower room,and double bedroom quite damp a lot of condensation on window,which isnt great fr 2 asthmatics.we was without internet for over 24hrs but couldnt be helped.This is 1st property I've stayed in ,in years with no welcome pack,only 2 tea towels .empty bleach bottle and an inch of shower gel !! would have been nice for some anti bac,cleaner,hand wash,milk etc

    We have owned and operated Penthouse Lynmouth Bay for five years now and we have never received a review like this. We’re extremely sorry that the apartment fell short of your expectations, but we did all we could to deal with the complaints you made at the time as promptly as possible. To learn here that you were unhappy with so many other things was a dreadful shock to us, and we were dismayed that your experience was so disappointing. We’re used to achieving 90-100% customer satisfaction in our reviews and are at a loss to understand how so many things could have gone so awry during your stay. We have decided to make an unscheduled trip to investigate the issues you’ve raised ourselves, and have already spoken with our normally excellent, and equally-dismayed housekeeper. In the meantime, we can only apologise for what we hope was an isolated incident and assure you that it will be thoroughly investigated. Thank you for being kind enough to mention the beautiful view and location, we hope this means that despite the appalling weather you also had to contend with, there were at least some bright spots to your holiday.

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.

About the location

LYNTON

Ilfracombe 18 miles; Minehead 18 miles.

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. Experience one of England’s last remaining tranquil areas - there is something for everyone during a stay at Lynton and Lynmouth.
