West Lyn Farm is a traditional Devon farmhouse situated within the Exmoor National Park. The House is in a peaceful location with stunning sea views. Plenty of private parking for guests. Direct access to footpaths that take you to the 2 Moors Way and The South West Coast Path. Just 7 minutes drive to the Devon twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth. The luxury bedroom has en-suite facilities, flat screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities . There is a Garden terrace with garden furniture for guests to use while gazing out to sea. West Lyn Farm is dog friendly (max 1 dog) at additional cost per night. A secure shed to store surf boards/ bikes etc. The addition of a luxury shepherd's hut sleeping 2 offers stunning sea views, private outdoor seating area and private parking. Inside the hut is kitted out with kitchenette, en suite shower room, wood burning stove, seating/dining area and comfortable fold down double bed with stargazing roof above. The hut is dog friendly (max 1 dog) at additional cost per night. Please note, breakfast is NOT included in the shepherd hut booking as it is self catering.
I have been living on Exmoor for over 15 yrs running most of that time running a successful B&B. I recently moved from the southern side of the moor to Lynton and decided to continue running a B&B and Shepherd Hut. Which means I can continue sharing my love of Exmoor and North Devon coast. While I no longer have horses I do will still have dogs with Betsy and Bunty my Springer Spaniels living in the farm house with me. Your well behaved dog (max 1) is more than welcome here at West Lyn Farm please let me know at the time of booking.
Situated on the Devon side of Exmoor in England there is plenty do to. From visiting the twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth and taking a trip on the dramatic Cliff Railway. A short drive from Lynton and Lynmouth are the small rocky hidden beaches of Woody Bay, Lee Bay and Heddon Mouth all well worth a visit. For serious walkers the English South West Costal Path is a stunning and dramatic path to follow. The East Lyn river and Brendon Valley where the book Lorna Doone was set, is just 10 minutes drive. Here you can visit the small villages of Brendon, Malmsmead and Oare. Another dramatic walk can be found at Watersmeet. Various paths leading along the rivers or up into the woods. Refreshmens can be found at the Watersmeet National Trust cafe. The Exmoor towns of Dulverton, Porlock, Porlock Weir and Dunster are all within an easy drive.
