Have you ever visited a place that was too amazing to put into words? Tors Park is exactly that. This special retreat is one-of-a-kind.

Tors Park is a luxury self-catering accommodation in Devon featuring incredible riverside and sea views over Lynmouth Bay and the picturesque fishing harbour. I experienced an unforgettable staycation at Tors Park and completely understand why people fall in love with it!

Upon arriving at Tors Park, I was greeted with an amazing view of the blue sea. You feel like you are up quite high, which instantly sets the scene for a relaxing break away in peace and quiet.

Tors Park has apartments available for smaller groups or up to 6 people, so there’s something for everyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle. What’s more, their apartments are family- and dog-friendly, making Tors Park the perfect place for an exceptional stay.

My Dachshund Molly was lucky enough to enjoy Tors Park too, and inside the apartment, we found treats with her name on them and a personalised letter. Throughout the apartment, the staff had kindly left little gifts that referenced Devon and our location: Luscombe Sicilian Lemonade, Burts Hand-Crafted Chips, candles made in Devon, and a fresh bunch of flowers. This was a lovely gesture, and personal touches like this really go a long way.

Ocean Penthouse

My accommodation during the trip was the beautiful Ocean Penthouse. This is a spacious, 3-bedroom apartment offering open-plan living for 6 people. It features stunning sea views across Lynmouth Harbour, in close proximity to local restaurants, cafés, and unrivalled walking routes.

The Ocean Penthouse is the ideal accommodation for larger groups, as it features a master bedroom located on a mezzanine level with an en-suite bathroom, in addition to two other spacious bedrooms. The kitchen, dining area, and living space provide open-plan living with a double-height ceiling. The living space, as well as the two balconies and terrace, offer breathtaking views of Lynmouth Harbour and the surrounding area.

The Penthouse has a log burner, perfect for cosy evenings in winter, en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and comes equipped with everything you could need during your stay—for example, towels, cutlery, washing machine tablets, tea, coffee, and milk to get you started. The staff at Tors Park have everything covered!

Upon arrival, I found the penthouse to be immaculately clean and well-maintained. The attention to detail in terms of cleanliness did not go unnoticed and contributed to a comfortable and pleasant stay.

One thing about Tors Park that is unmatched by anywhere else in the UK is the stunning views. There was nothing better than waking up to the sea views. All of the bedrooms had views of the sea, which made waking up a joyful moment! We were blessed with sunny weather during our stay, which meant we could explore the town and enjoy sitting on the balcony soaking up the sea breeze.

Outstanding Location

The penthouse’s location is outstanding. Perched high above the crashing waves, it offers panoramic views of the ocean that stretch as far as the eye can see. The sound of the waves and the fresh sea breeze make it an ideal retreat for anyone seeking a serene escape.
