Parking
There is no allocated parking for Riverside Cottage. The road directly outside the cottage is fine for unloading/loading your vehicle but it is too narrow to park for long periods of time. Once unloaded, please park a bit further down the road nearer the bridge where the road is wider, or use the car park at the Village Hall which is just past the Staghunters Inn on the right hand side, there's an honesty box for parking. (Note, there is a sign which refers to 'no staying overnight', the owner has clarified this with the Village Hall and they advise it refers to camping/camper vans and not spending the night in the carpark, it is fine to park your car here overnight!)

Pets Description
Up to three well behaved dogs welcome for supplement of £5 each. Two dog bowls are provided. Please do not allow your dogs upstairs.

The region

Brendon is a tiny hamlet tucked into the dramatic East Lyn valley, deep in the heart of Exmoor National Park, just 3 miles inland from the coastal village of Lynmouth.

This is one of the most peaceful and secluded corners of Exmoor. The hamlet sits beside the East Lyn River, surrounded by steep, densely wooded valleys and open moorland above. Brendon has been a settlement since medieval times, and its quiet lanes, stone bridges, and ancient church give it a timeless character. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, its red deer herds, and some of the finest river and moorland walking on Exmoor.
