The region

Countisbury is a tiny hamlet perched high on the Exmoor coast above Lynmouth, roughly two miles east along the A39. It has a 13th-century coaching inn, a historic church, and some of the most dramatic coastal views in Devon.



The hamlet sits at the top of the famous Countisbury Hill, where the road descends steeply into Lynmouth with gradients reaching 25%. This stretch of the A39 is one of the most spectacular drives in the country, with views across the Bristol Channel to Wales on clear days. The name Countisbury derives from a Saxon word meaning 'camp on the headland', referring to the Iron Age hill fort at Wind Hill nearby.



For everyday amenities, the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are your nearest ports of call, just two miles away. Lynton sits on the cliff top and has a good range of shops, cafes, restaurants, a small supermarket, post office, chemist, and the Lyn and Exmoor Museum. The harbour village of Lynmouth sits below at sea level, connected by the famous water-powered cliff railway. Both villages have a welcoming selection of pubs, tea rooms, and independent shops.



The larger towns of Barnstaple (approximately 20 miles) and Minehead (approximately 20 miles) offer supermarkets, high street banks, and a wider range of services.

Hidden Gem

Absolutely perfect stay this weekend. Was perfect for our mums 60th Birthday! The pictures do not do the property justice! It’s huge and spacious. I could stand and look out at the hills for hours (and we did). We would love to come back and stay again! Thanks for having us!

Great place tucked away

Old friends meeting up, lots of rain during the stay but that gave us a good excuse to stay in and hunker down. It’s quite far from shops/pubs etc but the little extra effort makes the silence well worth it. We’d love to come back. Could have done with one or two more basics like sugar (if you forget anything it’s a planning mission to get supplies, so small things like this can feel tedious), otherwise we couldn’t have asked for more!

An awesome stay!

The property had everything we needed for a very relaxing stay. The views are absolutely spectacular and the table tennis table made the weekend for the children.

Family holiday

Very good we all enjoyed our stay despite our age differences(2 to 66)we visited a lot of local attractions and enjoyed them all. The property is isolated which suited us there are no neighbours It is hard to imagine it as a school as it isn’t near anywhere for its pupils to come from but I guess they did!

Great for a family holiday

Great for a family holiday - we had 3 generations staying, with plenty of room for all of us. Wonderful location, very peaceful, but close enough to all required facilities. Good walking from the door - especially down to the pub (although there weren't any rhea eggs to be had!). Thoroughly recommend!!
