The Stables, Lynton, is a beautifully converted four-bedroom stone barn mews nestled in the coastal village of Lynton on the spectacular North Devon coast. The well-equipped kitchen features an electric ceramic hob, fan oven, microwave, and dishwasher, with a separate utility room providing welcome additional space. The attractive lounge invites you to sink into comfortable seating beside a cosy log burner in an inglenook fireplace, while the sweeping oak staircase rising from the double-height entrance hallway makes a truly striking first impression.
Step outside to enjoy the charming enclosed courtyard garden, its high stone walls creating a sheltered, dog-friendly haven complete with table and chairs. Four beautifully appointed bedrooms sleep groups comfortably: a king-size room with TV, a double, and two twin rooms with zip-and-link beds that can be configured as king-size doubles on request. Three bathrooms, including a walk-in shower room with convenient wheelchair lift access, ensure comfort for every guest.
Wake to the sound of wind rustling through the valley and breathe in the salt-tinged coastal air as morning light floods the stone-walled rooms. Spend your days striding out along dramatic coastal paths before returning to the warmth of the courtyard for lazy lunches in the sunshine. As dusk falls, gather around the inglenook log burner with a glass of wine, sharing stories of the day's adventures on the breathtaking North Devon coast.
