Cottage by the East Lyn River in the heart of Exmoor National Park near Lynmouth

The cottage is nestled next to the Ford on the East Lyn River, in the charming Brendon Valley, renowned for Lorna Doone. Located on the National Trust's Watersmeet Estate, Rockford Lodge can be reached via a footbridge, tranquilly situated in a forest, secluded from traffic. The stunning North Devon coastline is close, with Lynton and Lynmouth merely four miles away. A variety of river, moorland, and coastal trails are accessible right from the garden gate, offering a scenic treat for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. Opportunities for salmon and trout fishing on the East Lyn are available, along with excellent nearby horseback riding options.

The cottage features three comfortably sized bedrooms, including two twins and one double, a spacious bathroom with a separate shower, and an additional toilet. The ground floor offers generous living space, with a sitting room that boasts an open fire for the colder months and a large dining/TV room. The farmhouse-style kitchen is equipped with a breakfast table and is kept warm by the AGA. Additionally, there's a breathtaking River Room with views of the East Lyn River, an ideal spot for a glass of wine overlooking the river.
Outdoors, the sizable garden is dog-proof, and amenities such as tables, chairs, and a barbecue are provided. However, due to its unique location, this cottage is not recommended for individuals with mobility issues.
