Excellent location. Unload quickly (everyone is used to it!) then follow the one way road for a free parking space. If not there is a large car park with reasonable charges for the week. There is also another little car park on the way back round to the big one. Property is lovely and well equipped. You will need to bring own towels and a hairdryerRead more.

Well maintained very clean cottage in an excellent location. Kitchen benefits from modern appliances. Relatively close to public car park. Paid 30 for a one week permit for convenience of not having to find a space on on street parking as very popular. Bathroom adequate but no hairdryer. Highly recommended.

A cosy cottage in a very convenient location for exploring Appledore. Less than two minutes' walk from the Beaver Inn and the Royal George. We felt that the bathroom was a little tired, and that the cottage lacked a few personal touches, but on the whole we had a great holiday.
