Comfortable Victorian house in a wooded gorge where Exmoor meets the sea at Lynmouth. This tranquil hostel, a former country house, sits on the side of a steep wooded gorge where Exmoor meets the sea at Lynmout, a good base for discovering Exmoor. Close to the sea and the National Trust estate of Watersmeet. When the right conditions prevail the surf at Lynmouth Bay is a regional classic. Surfing is ideal for the experienced surfer with a point-break together with a west, south-west swell and a southerly wind. Click here for Wavelength’s guide to surfing in North Devon.
