What a beautiful and comfortable property! We had a lovely few days despite some wild weather- it was the perfect place to hunker down. Kitchen was the best equipped we’ve had in many years of holiday cottage stays. Beds excellent, so relaxing to hear the river, and great birdlife surrounding the house including very active tawny owls. We enjoyed a superb lunch at the Vanilla Pod cafe in Lynton...

Wonderful house and location, with a lovely walk from outside the front gate that takes you along the river behind the house to Lynton and Lynmouth. The kitchen is a dream and contains all the necessary essentials and the living room is well laid out. The balcony terrace is great in the morning and evenings to sit and listen to the river and birds. Overall an enjoyable stay but please be aware that there is a water alarm under the bath which will keep you awake if not too careful!...

We had a great week in Bracken Lea save for a few minor issues on arrival which were sorted. The house is well situated for the short drive in to Lynton and Lynmouth. We found the steep walk down to Lynmouth quite manageable but used the Cliff Railway frequently to come back up, the ride was a treat, especially in good weather. Also the walk along the coast path to the Valley of the Rocks was both scenic and spectacular and very nice lunches in the cafe there. Also a nice walk from there back along the coast path to Lee Bay through the Lee Abbey Estate, beautiful. Also had a nice lunch at the Blue Ball Inn situated on Countisbury Hill, spectacular views from the patio. Nice waking too along the coast path from here towards Porlock. Another highlight was the walk from Tors Road in Lynmouth along the riverbank to Watersmeet where there was another nice cafe for lunch and or refreshment which is 40 minutes to an hour depending on how frequently you stop to look at the views. We found the pubs and restaurants in both Lynton and Lynmouth to be of a good standard although we did think most places were quite pricey. Definitely a place we wish to return to in the future. There was a bit of an issue on the day of departure when the curtain rail above the shower bath in the bathroom fell from the ceiling whilst it was in use, hope this has been rectified in time for the next occupiers! ...
