We stayed before at Waterfront House just over 5 years ago and loved it then. The new owners have made so many improvements. The new patio doors together with glass balcony give you totally clear views across the estuaries. Will be booking again in the winter.

We LOVED Waterfront house. It is beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. We were blessed with gorgeous sunshine all week, so made the most of the balcony, having the doors wide open all week listening to the waves and watching the comings and goings. Perfect holiday; well be back!

Our second stay in this property. Wonderful location with excellent views across the estuary. Well equipped and comfortable. Excellent location in Appledore with all amenities within walking distance. The parking space is at a premium in Appledore for a water front house. Heartily recommend.

Amazing location, comfortable, welcoming, very well appointed, inside beautifully clean. Parking space a real bonus given location. Really enjoyed our stay and would return, but unfortunately let down somewhat by three issues: dirty balcony (on arrival we found human hair, bird poo, and half-eaten food), lack of basic cleaning materials, and absencRead moree of first aid kit despite this being a requirement. A few tweaks needed to iron out issues then would be perfect. Hide

We stayed at this cottage last year and were very impressed with it, so we booked it again for this year. The cleanliness was not so good this year. The dishwasher and washing machine both needed cleaning before we could use them. Both stairgates were broken and we need to use them as we had a puppy with us. Both en-suite bathrooms had dirty fan veRead morents with mould in the corners of the showers. Hide
