In the beautiful harbour village of Lynmouth is where you will find this delightful riverside cottage offering incredible views over the East Lyn river. Spend your days here strolling along the waters, and taking in the surrounding sights and countryside. Along the banks of the river, you will have easy access to the famous National Trust house and team rooms at Watersmeet. Plus, the village itself offers a picturesque harbour and a sand and pebble beach for you to explore. In the late afternoon, why not return home and take full advantage of the patio to enjoy a Devonshire cream tea in the fresh air as you admire the beautiful natural views? While for dinnertime, alfresco cooking, and dining can be on the menu with the home’s barbecue. On chilly nights, we would highly recommend settling down in front of the roaring wood-burning fireplace with your furry four-legged friend curled up at your feet, for a cosy end to the day.
