Welcome To Moorlands - Formerly Woody Bay Station Hotel
Moorlands is set in six acres of grounds within the Exmoor
National Park, with beautiful views of the surrounding
countryside. Christine and Ian Corderoy offer visitors, seeking
good quality and comfortable accommodation, a warm and friendly
welcome. Special offers are usually available throughout the
year for those wishing to stay that bit longer (see Tariff)
Woody Bay
Surrounded by arable farmland and wild moor, the beautiful
Woody Bay and the stunning South West Coast Path, within two
miles walk or drive are well worth a visit. The twin towns of
Lynton and Lynmouth are only four miles away, offering a good
selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. A little further
afield are the beautiful beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde for
those who prefer the sun, sea or surf.
Colonel Benjamin Green Lake built Moorlands in the late 19th
Century as a gentleman's residence as part of his plans to
develop the Wooda Bay Estate. Subsequently at the turn of the
century Starkey Knight and Ford, a local brewery, re-opened the
property as the Station Hotel to provide shelter for travellers
on the Lynton to Barnstaple railway. In recent years it has been
extended to provide both bed and breakfast and self-catering
accommodation, our emphasis now being on quiet relaxation.
Evening meals are available in our licensed dinning room and
coffee served in our residents lounge with real fire during the
colder months.
Horse riding, tennis, golf, fresh and sea fishing are all
available in the area. Explore Exmoor either with map and
compass, or a short stroll through our garden will find the
Woody Bay Station a beautifully restored narrow gauge railway
offering rides (approximately 1 mile) to Killington Lane, from
which walks are available to Heddon Hall, Parracombe or through
the beautiful Heddon Valley to the sea.
For those who enjoy walking, there are acres of Exmoor to
