Bridget and Richard live on site and are available to answer any questions and to help make your stay as relaxing and trouble free as possible (we are also very respectful of every guests privacy) Bridget is an artist and garden designer and Richard is a skilled crafts man who loves to work in wood and other materials. Together they renovated the lodges and landscaped the gardens at Moor and Sea over the course of a year. They now also run residential art courses here in the quieter months alongside the holiday accommodation business. "We believe in providing accommodation that we would love to stay in and have designed the spaces, including the gardens and paths through the wildflower meadows, to create a restorative and relaxing place to stay and still with plenty of room to walk, picnic, relax and play. We are as eco friendly as possible in all of our practices and believe in encouraging wildlife in the surrounding gardens and fields." We love living in this beautiful part of the world and exploring the many varied walks, swimming off the many lovely beaches and kayaking along the coast.

Situated near the lovely towns of Lynton and Lynmouth and within easy reach of Exmoor National Park, the southwest coastal path, beaches and temperate rainforest, Moor and Sea is the perfect base from which to explore this unspoiled part of the world. Lynton and Lynmouth are our local towns connected by the famous Victorian water-powered funicular railway. Lynmouth is a pretty harbour town with a long stretch of shingle and rock beach which is lovely to swim ​off at high tide. Both towns are fun to explore with a variety of local independent shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes and cosy pubs. Lynton is also famous for the stunning landscape at Valley of Rocks with beaches at Lee Bay and Wringcliffe. Walking around this area is wonderfully varied from the woodland riverside walks with waterfalls and cool pools for wild swimming to breathtaking coastal paths and open expanses of moorland. North Devon has some of the loveliest and cleanest beaches in the world. From the international surf reserve at Woolacombe with 3 miles of golden sands to the secluded coves of Heddon Mouth and Broadsands. So many places to explore from castles and gardens to the coastline by boat trip or kayak!
