River view
Posted Aug. 4, 2024 on HomeAwayLucy 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!

Great stay in a beautiful location
Posted Aug. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayThe cottage is lovely, full of character and in a wonderful location right by the river. It’s extremely peaceful and there are great walks from the door step, our dog loved it!
The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful too.
We would definitely like to return here.

A Short break by the river
Posted Jul. 25, 2024 on HomeAwayA 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.

A very comfortable and quiet retreat
Posted Jul. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayWe 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!

Cozy and magical house!
Posted Apr. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a fabulous time at the Lodge! This house is a gem... like walking into the country place you wish your family had had when you were growing up! Our family (myself, my husband, 2 teenagers and a small dog) had such a magical stay for one week of the Easter break. We love how so many of the details and history of the lodge have been preserved, and we felt very at home right away. Walking over the footbridge to the property, waking up and walking out straight onto the river bank, going to sleep with the lovely warm blankets listening to the river... we all felt so comfortable and at home. Being able to walk straight out to the trail (definitely walk to Watersmeet!) and nip across the river for a beverage at the lovely Rockford Inn was exactly what we needed, and the coast and all it has to offer is just a short drive away. We can't wait to come back in the summer so we can take a dip in the river and hit the water at some of the local beaches. Thank you, Lucy, for a lovely stay!

Perfect as always
Posted Feb. 17, 2024 on HomeAwayNot 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

Beautiful location
Posted Aug. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayThe lodge was well equipped and in a beautiful, quiet location. The car parking arrangement was not ideal but understandable given the location and certainly not a deal breaker. We enjoyed our stay and certainly had everything we needed for a comfortable week in the lodge.

In a valley
Posted Jul. 25, 2023 on HomeAwaySet in a valley the property was peaceful while not seeming completely isolated. Wonderful walk along the riverbank in both directions. Short drive from Lynton and the breah-taking clifftop walk to Valley of Rocks.
Highlight was watching the cattle drive across the ford which passed within feet of the riverview room. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Can't wait to go back
Posted Jun. 21, 2023 on HomeAwayThis is such a lovely place. We felt like we were in a fairy tale, nestled in the woods and listening to the stream running by. The host was responsive to our messages and helpful. I hope we get to go back--but for longer the next time. (The stairs up to the bedrooms and bathroom were fine for us but I could see how they might be too narrow and steep for some with less mobility.) Overall, it was a great holiday and perfect location.
