Glenville House is a delightful Victorian house, built in local stone well over a century ago and full of character and charm, lovingly refurbished, with colourful award winning garden in an idyllic riverside setting at the beginning of the beautiful river valley walk to Watersmeet, the deepest natural gorge in England.

We are fully licensed and have an elegant lounge overlooking the river for those wishing to relax in the evenings.

We have a drying area for wet clothing, boots etc and are pleased to be able to offer this service to our guests. We can also store bicycles overnight.

The scenic village of Lynmouth is nestled in a wooded valley where the East and West Lyn Rivers meet the sea in one of the most stunning areas within the Exmoor National Park and has the most spectacular and dramatic scenery along the North Devon coast. Peaceful, tranquil, romantic - a very special place. With its original fishing cottages, picturesque village, enchanting harbour flanked by mature wooded slopes and unique water-powered cliff railway to our twin village of Lynton, a relaxing break in a romantic setting awaits you. Lynmouth is steeped in history from the smugglers in bygone days to the poets, Wordsworth,Coleridge and Shelley who honeymooned here with his young bride in 1812 - all were inspired by the beauty and serenity of the area. There is an abundance of riverside, woodland and magnificent coastal walks with breathtaking views of the rugged cliff tops and secluded bays to the peaceful heather-clad moorland with Exmoor ponies, deer and a variety of birds and wildlife making this unique area a paradise for ramblers andcountry lovers. Visit the Valley of Rocks with its interesting rock formations and wild goats, walk up Hollerday Hill for stunning views of the sea or take a boat trip from the harbour along our Heritage Coast to see the colonies of seabirds.
