Hand-crafted, luxury experiences curated by our team—speak to our concierge to learn more

The town of Lynmouth is beauty personified, and these luxury apartments are the best way to experience it.

Devon, an area known for its beautiful beaches and spectacular coastline, is a popular holiday destination year-round.

The Exmoor town of Lynmouth is nationally known as Little Switzerland on account of its alpine-esque aesthetic. A walk through the picturesque village shows off its quaint charm, rushing river, dramatic hills and woodland hallmarks. It feels worlds away from modern stresses and offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature.

From the town centre, it's easy to spot an architecturally impressive building nestled up in the trees… say hello to Tors Park.

The lowdown 

Tors Park is a holiday maker's paradise. The complex is made up of 34 self-serviced apartments of various sizes, accommodating between 2-6 guests. Families, friend groups or anyone seeking a moment of respite from city life will be very happy here. 

Check-ins are managed online, making the arrival process a breeze. We were emailed detailed instructions including where to park and how to access the room. If you need anything throughout your stay, you can live chat or text a member of the Tors Park team. They’re lovely and very responsive! 

The features and amenities 

We stayed in the Ocean View apartment which was blessed with plenty of natural light. Aesthetically, the apartment felt very coastal which made it easy to get into the holiday spirit. The entire space has been designed with the view in mind, meaning it’s easy to make the most of it. 

As a very thoughtful touch, a gorgeous vase of flowers and very generous food hamper had been left on the dining table. The hamper contained all the epicurean delights for a grazing board, from boxes of crackers and sliced deli meats to gourmet chutneys and cheeses. Its contents were easily spread across two days and were best enjoyed with a glass of wine on the balcony. 

Speaking of, our apartment's outdoor area was arguably its best feature. This was accessed via enormous bi-fold doors which opened the living room right up and let the sea breeze to drift in. We spent hours on the balcony playing cards and soaking in the sweeping view of the town below. 

The front bedroom featured skylight windows which again, flooded the room with light. It also boasted the same view as the balcony, looking down over Lynton. Both bedrooms came with ensuites which were perfect for us two couples. There was also an additional toilet downstairs. 

We may have only been here for a few nights, but the the apartments are designed for longer stays, so they feel like complete houses. We had a fully equipped kitchen which we used to cook an English breakfast the next morning (the ingredients of which were also kindly included in our fridge). 

The location 

As mentioned, Tors Park is an easy, ten minute walk from Lynmouth town. The local area is overflowing with old world charm, housing a range of mariner pubs and boutique stores. 

During the day, you can spend some time wandering around and soaking in the atmosphere. The Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway experience comes highly recommended, offering a chance to ride the world’s highest and steepest water-powered railway. If the weather permits, the Valley of Rocks is a 2.5 mile walk which boasts wonderful views of the sea cliffs. Upon return, enjoy a few drinks at the Blue Ball Inn, followed by a hearty serving of fish and chips.

If you're keen to travel to neighbouring towns but don't want to drive, Riverside Taxis offer a very reliable service which we found incredibly useful. Theresa picked us up a few times and was so kind.

The verdict 

The Tors Park team really nail the small details here, ensuring all the home comforts are available throughout your stay. It's one of those rare holidays where you don't have to think about a thing between arrival and departure, allowing you to really switch off and enjoy.

Tors Park is perfect proof that there’s nothing a bit of salty, seaside air can’t fix. An absolute must-visit for your next coastal escape.
