Perhaps the only drawbacks were the oven door which was broken and possibly needed a new thermostat as it appeared not to switch off when it reached the requested temperature. An extra tea towel and oven gloves would have made the overall experience acquire the extra star.

The setting is superb with the most amazing views over the sea to Wales, and the beautiful surroundings of Exmoor. All this from the balcony and front room. The phrase 'A view to die for!' is appropriate here. Very good night's sleep in a very comfortable bed. Will definitely return in the near future.

Foremost it's the view, so beautiful. One of the best in Lynton. The apartment is spacious and full of character. Some would find the kitchen being in the basement inconvenient but we don't. The apartment is well placed for visiting local eateries. Two of our favourites are the North Coast café and the Thai restaurant at the Cottage Inn. No doubt we'll be visiting Lynton and Lynmouth again next year and our first choice of accommodation would be this apartment.
