Description Curious Gorge: Lynton

Located six hundred feet above sea level, this Victorian home in North Devon treats guests to some spectacular views of the Bristol Channel, whether that's out through the large bay windows or while sitting on the wooden terrace.

Although your gaze might naturally be drawn to this gorgeous seascape, the home's interior is well worth closer inspection, too. The design is a pleasing mix of heritage and modernity. Nods to the past come in the form of vintage furnishings, ornate beds and floral wallpaper, and these sit quite comfortably alongside the colourful modern artwork and glass coffee tables.

In the local villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, you'll find cafes, pubs and the world's steepest water-powered railway. Blacklands Beach is only five minutes away in the car, too.

Home truths:
*There's free parking available on the premises
*A travel cot can be provided if required
*The home is split across three floors so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
