Riverside Holiday Park in Exmoor National Park
Sunny Lyn Holiday Park has been welcoming guests to Exmoor National Park since 1998, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and comfortable accommodation. Our park sits alongside the West Lyn River, providing direct access to scenic walks including the South West Coast Path and Coleridge Way. We offer a carefully curated range of accommodation options including riverside lodges, static caravans, and camping pitches designed to suit different needs. Our facilities feature newly refurbished shower blocks, a breakfast cafe operating during peak seasons, and dedicated parking areas for guests. The park's strategic location makes it the perfect base for exploring Lynton and Lynmouth, with their historic cliff railway, local attractions like Watersmeet House, and the rugged coastline of North Devon. We maintain a low-capacity camping area with just 19 pitches to preserve our tranquil atmosphere, while allowing pets in designated areas.Our team works closely with local businesses including the adjacent Cottage Inn restaurant to enhance guest experiences. With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, we combine practical knowledge of the region with a commitment to sustainable tourism practices that protect our woodland valley setting. Our staff receive regular training in customer service and environmental stewardship to ensure we maintain high standards across all operations. We demonstrate our authority in the holiday park sector through our consistent five-star reviews and partnerships with tourism boards. Our transparent booking system with low deposits and clear cancellation policies reflects our commitment to guest satisfaction.

What a tranquil place to stay (even though our caravan was... quite old + dog friendly - very cosy - bed extremely comfortable), opposite where we were, were the most beautiful walks, including natural streams (waterfalls) & wonderful views... Where we stayed, was warm and comfortable, not too far a walk from local attractions. Staff were friendly & accommodating. Most definitely recommend!

Beautiful site, situated in a picturesque setting. However unacceptable toilet facilities, flush not powerful enough, had to use shower blocks. We stayed in 2little ducks cabin, oven dirty on arrival we didn't use it throughout our stay. Bottom drawer in double bedroom full of last residents dirty underwear.. honestly. We left it on decking for site to dispose of. Owner needs to be aware not getting cleaned properly. Dog hairs under cushions on settee. Had good time out and about. Scenery amazing but these problems need to be addressed. Thankyou

Satisfactory, very small hardstanding pitches and very little privacy! Dated shower facilities and rather small area to dry and get dressed in. Overall very basic and over priced but the saving grace being it's situation for access to beautiful scenery and walks.

30 per night, extra for dogs but no dog walk? Pitch OK. Dilapidated statics on one side. Tents 2m away! Entrance is extremely tight off a busy narrow road only accessed from one direction.
Toilets are very old !! showers are a disgrace so small you have change in the entrance corridor to the loos.
Laundry is closed so campers washing their smalls in the loos.nice.
Campers having to ask us for supplies because the shop is closed as is the cafe.
Theres large yellow tape across the office door when you arrive. So kept waiting outside for an age before they showed us to pitch.
