8 Bedroom House in Lynton

Oaklands is an impressive, 8-bedroom, traditional stone-built detached house sleeping 14 in comfort, situated between the open moor and the spectacular north Devon coast. Located outside the rural hamlet of Rockford with its well-regarded local inn where meals can be enjoyed. Oaklands has magical views across the East Lyn River, which falls dramatically to the sea at the village resort of Lynmouth just 4 miles away. Set in 1.5 acres with moorland garden and woods, which make great exploring, and a cascading stream and disused waterwheel from its early Victorian past, Oaklands is surrounded by one of the few remaining areas of ancient oak woodlands in England and has abundant wildlife (designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Special Scientific Interest).
Renovated to modern standards with contemporary furnishings throughout, but keeping its original character, Oaklands has a large living room with aspect over the river and oak-beamed snug with Inglenook fireplace. A large separate dining room with an Arthurian round table seating up to 14 overlooks the front of the property and the very spacious and well equipped modern kitchen also offers a smaller breakfast/dining area. The eight bedrooms, many with river and valley views, and four bathrooms are laid out over two upper floors. There is also a small study / games room which can be used as an area for the younger members of the party. Oaklands is large and roomy for one family, or provides flexible accommodation for family gatherings or groups of friends and is a wonderful rural retreat no matter what the time of the year. Parking for 4 to 5 cars. Secure barn for bike / kayak / surfboard storage. Table football, board games and Wii games console available. Pets are welcome.
Surrounded by the splendour of Exmoor, Oaklands is at the apex of Exmoor’s footpaths, cycle routes and bridle ways, offering truly inspiring walks and rides along the river, over wooded valleys and towards the sea abound. Many famous beauty spots including Watersmeet, Porlock Weir and the twin coastal resort villages of Lynton and Lynmouth with their famous cliff railway, tourist attractions for all ages and dog-friendly beach are all within short scenic drives. Magnificent high cliffs, and hidden sand and shingle coves can be found all along the dramatic Exmoor coast whilst wide sandy surfing beaches at Woolacombe and Croyde are within an hour’s drive. Horse riding stables, mountain biking and road cycling, kayaking and angling on the East Lyn and country sports are all close by. Traditional Exmoor pubs and restaurants with fine dining are within easy reach. Adventure centres, golf, surf schools, Exmoor Zoo, a steam light railway and indoor visitor attractions are further afield. Oaklands and Exmoor offers something for everyone all year round.

Summary: Communication and check in was easy and simple. We were provided with clear instructions on how to access the property and the amenities available in plenty of time. The property itself is large with plenty of room. It's quite eccentric and old but comfortable. Some areas were not as clean as we would have liked but it did not ruin the experience. The beds were not the most comfortable but we managed for a few nights. Location is stunning. Amazing walks and local pub. We also went house riding at Brendon Manor and i could not recommend this more highly. Excellent and a must for both adults and children.In all this is a great choice for a large group. We were 3/4 different families and fitted perfectly. The location is stunning with plenty to access in surrounding area. Had a small kitchen bundle which was a nice touch along with plenty of dishwasher tablets, soap and toilet paper. Also plenty of board games etc and table tennis. It's the small things that make a difference. The electric car charger is also great for convenience as the nearest charger is about 20 minutes away and a low voltage. Would recommend a visit.

Summary: We had a delightful week at Oaklands, there's not many places where you can come out of the house and walk in any direction (ok - mostly up) and be in the middle of beautiful countryside without seeing another person on your walk. From the bats in the barn to the 31 different species of birds we heard, the sheep in the garden and the spectacular starry skies Oaklands puts you right in the middle of nature. Even on rainy days there was plenty to do, both in the house and outside. Peter was an excellent host and everything in the house worked without issue - the only thing it would benefit from is a coffee machine. We were sad to leave.

Summary: Fantastic location, lovely house and refreshingly uncomplicated hosting - thank you very much. Running through ancient woodland and out across the moors in the autumn sunshine was truly special. We would love to return…

Summary: A family group stayed for three nights in October and had a lovely time. Plenty of room for us all and bedrooms to choose from. We all found it very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped. The Rockford Inn really was a 5-minute walk away and there were some lovely walks on the doorstep. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Summary: My first impression was of surprise to the location. I don't remember reading any warning about anyone having mobility issues. The pathway and steps are very steep, and the surface and steps could be better. I did have a fall, thankfully I didn't hurt myself. Perhaps a hand rail. Inside the property you could say was well lived in. We wouldn't expect it to be clinically clean but it could so with a little spruce up. The Fridge wasn't the cleanest, with black bits floating in the water dispenser. Hairs found on beds; the sofas needed a hover. My daughters were disappointed with the cleanness of the kitchen cupboards. Saying all that we had a nice holiday to celebrate my 70th Birthday.

Summary: Truly pretty off the beaten track. VERY beautiful location. Perhaps not for folk who were not good walkers. Very steep valley with walk along the little road only for the elderly. Lovely though. House commodious - lots of hot water
