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

Fantastic little cottage in an amazing area. Access is an extra little quirk but that adds to the fun. The descriptions couldn’t be clearer. Great little pub across the road is a great place to sit when you are not enjoying the walks or playing in the river. Definitely hope to visit again

What an amazing property The instructions for finding the property are not idealIt didn’t mention the access is across a wooden bridgeThe stairs to the first floor are very steep The property is not entirely suitable for people with mobility issues Having said that it is a unique and lovely property in an amazing location Do try the pub opposite

We had a lovely stay at Rockford Lodge with everything we needed for a relaxing break. The dogs thoroughly enjoyed the river walks everyday. Lucy was extremely helpful with any enquiries we had. Many thanks.

A lovely spot to stay We really enjoyed our stay. The location suited us really well. It’s on the river with paths in both directions directly from the door. The pub across the river is really cosy and serves good beer. It’s also a good spot for access to other parts of Exmoor. The cottage was very clean and reasonably comfortable. We liked the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen is very cosy with the Aga stove. However it was exceptionally cold during our stay and the central heating was not enough to make other rooms comfortable. Although it was not an issue for us, parking up the hill and having to cross a bridge by foot to access the property may not suit everyone.

Wonderful stay Lovely cottage in an excellent location, very clean, river room was a great place to sit and let your worries float away, Lucy was always available if needed on the end of the phone.We had a lovely stay over Christmas and didn't want to go home, great experience recommended

River view Lucy was so helpful in answering questions and supporting us. It is a lovely spot unique and connected to the history of the area. Walks from our front door. Good pub across the river and comfy beds as we fell asleep to the sound of the river . We will be back!

A very comfortable and quiet retreat We had just three nights at Rockford Lodge, but it was a beautiful, peaceful place in which to escape from everything. I have never had the opportunity to stay anywhere so close to a river, but by the end we were wishing we could take a little part of the East Lyn home with us. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed, including in the kitchen (and it was great to be able to cook with an Aga that was identical to one we used to have when I was young :) ). Walks from the property were remarkably beautiful. Wifi was fast and reliable. Great to have so many books and games in the cottage - could easily have stayed for a few weeks just sitting and reading! Parking was tight on the first try but was easy once I'd worked out where to position the car...and the car park in Brendon just up the road was very useful to be able to turn around and head in the opposite direction. The trips to unload and reload the car took some effort but the road was quiet and it was good exercise :) The back of the cottage is quite dark as it is built into the hill, but this turned out to be part of the cozy attraction of the place, and there was plenty of light to the front. Very well-looked-after garden. Great location to explore the North Devon and Somerset coasts, and wider Exmoor just to the south. Beautiful and memorable. Thank you!

A Short break by the river A very nice area with lovely walks along the river The cottage had everything we needed. The only issue was the property was not as clean as we would have expected. However we had a relaxing break.

Perfect as always Not stayed for a while but we’re so glad nothing had changed. Been visiting since 2004 and cannot fault the Cottage, always had an amazing time with family and friends who have all loved it The Rockford Inn has been up and down over the years but at present it’s the best it has ever been, great food and service. Can’t wait to come back Thanks Lucy and family x
