Lovely cottage. Beautiful setting. Weather dependent it is lovely to watch the comings and goings on the estuary from the bottom of the garden. Beds comfortable. Plenty of towels etc. ideally placed for short walk to dog friendly inns (The Beaver and the Royal George) which both do good food. We enjoyed being able to walk to the village centre and Read morealso found the Burrows a great place to walk. Being somewhat aged with dodgy knees did find sitting room furniture quite low to get out of! Hide

Another great stay in the very comfortable and well equipped Seabirds. Weather very good and able to make good use of the garden and the amazing views. Eating out first class as always - we recommend The Royal George, The Beaver, and The Flame Factory as well as the deli at Johns of Appledore for treats.

Prime location in Appledore with garden overlooking the water and out to sea. Good pubs and takeaways within an easy walk of the cottage. Can highly recommend the Seagate Hotel and the Royal George.

A lovely comfortable cottage in a unique setting on the estuary. Well set out with everything you needed for a relaxing stay. Sitting in the garden watching what is going on on the water just doing nothing is so relaxing with a short walk to the village centre and the pubs makes its such an ideal location.

A lovely, well planned cottage in a delightful village. Interesting history and lots of pretty streets to walk through. The garden was particularly good and watching the changing tides from the garden wall was fascinating.

Seabirds cottage is a lovely cottage, with amazing views, I wish the weather had been slightly better so we could get out more to enjoy the comings and goings in the estuary.The cottage is very comfortable and really quiet, but minutes away from the quayside, it really is an ideal place to stay, we also found the locals to be very friendly, I wouldRead more definitely revisit this cottage, but just remember to take your own milk / tea towel etc as not provided.

This cottage is amazing. Location is perfect with everything g you need in walking distance. I can only dream what it is like in the summer sitting at the end of the garden over the estuary. cosy and comfortable with a lovely wood burner makes for an idyllic winter break. only small thing and could be because it was a late booking out of season butRead more unusually there was no welcome pack at all and after a long drive we then had to go back out to a shop so make sure you come prepared.

Another very enjoyable stay at Seabirds, even in January there is plenty to keep you occupied. The cottage takes on a different personality in the winter time, the log burner ensures a cosy retreat from the inclement weather.
