Woodlands

 

In October when the Oak, the Larch and the Ash turn a golden brown in the Autumn sun and the smell of wood smoke drifts down the West Lyn valley, Woodlands is the perfect place for a short break. Morning mist, fresh cool evenings and a log fire to come back to after exploring the spectacular area that is Exmoor.

Accommodation

Bedrooms

Woodlands has a choice of single, double and twin rooms all with colour tv, radio and tea/coffee making facilities. Most rooms are particularly spacious, fully ensuite and have splendid views across the valley. The property is centrally heated throughout and is therefore ideal for spring and autumn breaks.

Lounge
There is a comfortable lounge where the guests may relax in front of the log fire in cooler evenings. The sun lounge with its beautiful outlook across the valley is an ideal place to sit and read or enjoy a drink from the bar. Evening meals are available.

Parking
There is a private car park and also a boot and drying room with laundry facilities if required.

Garden
Guests are welcome to use the garden which extends down to the West Lyn river - a lovely spot to sit on a balmy Devon day.

About the area

Woodlands is situated midway between the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth in the Exmoor National Park and is an ideal base for exploring the spectacular coastline and the wild expanses of Exmoor.

 

Exmoor has 680 miles of footpaths and bridleways and offers superb walking from gentle strolls to strenuous hikes. Many of these walks are accessible by foot from this hotel. The Valley of the Rocks, Watersmeet and Countisbury Hill are all within walking distance.

There is ready access to a number of long distance paths: the South West Coast Path which runs along the full 34 miles of Exmoor's coastline and beyond; the Two Moors Way which joins together Exmoor and Dartmoor; the Tarka Trail which follows moorland and coastline as well as the inland valleys and countryside of mid-Devon

Exmoor is home to a wealth of wildlife including red-deer, ponies, buzzards, trout and salmon. There are even wild goats in the Valley of the Rocks. As well as walking and sightseeing on Exmoor you can go horse riding, mountain biking, fishing, sailing and bird watching. Lorna Doone country is close to Lynton and slightly further afield there are historic houses, picturesque villages, gardens, golf courses and sandy beaches. Lynton is a friendly village with tea-rooms, restaurants, pubs, churches, shops and a museum. The famous cliff railway links the two villages of Lynton and Lynmouth and is a novel way of getting from one to the other.

Woodlands is an ideal place to stay when exploring North Devon and beyond.
