Treat your loved ones to a riverside break at this lovely lodge sitting on the water's edge in a smart complex of glamping properties in a wooded valley near Lynton. Sitting at the spot where Exmoor National Park runs headlong into the North Devon coast, it sleeps four people across two bedrooms, and is ideal for families or groups who are searching for a stylish retreat to call home while they discover the wild beauty of Devon’s coastline together. Follow the river down to the harbour at Lynmouth (1.5 miles) and ride the water-powered cliff railway back up again. Or set off to discover the Valley of Rocks (2.5 miles), where feral goats pick their way along the crags above the Bristol Channel. In the evening, come home to sink into your lodge’s private hot tub and listen to the gentle music of the river running past the deck.
Pull into your private space and step inside your stylish riverside lodge. You'll find a bright and cheerful open-plan living area with seating, a dining space and a Smart TV - all arranged to make the most of the river views beyond the windows. Cook up a storm in the kitchen and share a casual meal in the dining area, or head out onto the covered veranda to dine alfresco. The private decking overlooks the river, and the hot tub is the undoubted star of the show. After a relaxing soak, a double bedroom with an en-suite wet room and a handy twin bedroom are waiting for you. A sleek family shower room completes the layout.
Stroll upriver to Watersmeet (2 miles), where two rivers converge in a steep wooded gorge and a former fishing lodge serves tea beside the water. Or head into Lynmouth (1.5 miles) to explore the harbour or hike along the shingle beach. If you’re feeling energetic, head off to the Valley of Rocks (2.5 miles) to climb up Castle Rock, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping, panoramic sea views.
