Set in the delightful town of Appledore, this quintessentially English quayside cottage is positioned along the estuary, offering a picturesque setting directly opposite your front door. Wander through the charming winding streets, flanked by pastel-toned fishermen's cottages and a lovely choice of pubs, café, and restaurants from which to sit and observe the lively activities on the bustling waterways. Appledore boasts a rich maritime history, showcased at the North Devon Maritime Museum, and is renowned for its thriving arts and crafts scene, featuring numerous galleries and gift shops. For surf enthusiasts, the famous Westward Ho! Beach is a mere 3 miles away. Explore further up the river in Bideford, located 3.5 miles away, where you can embark on a boat journey to the scenic National Trust-managed Lundy Island. For unbridled family enjoyment, head to The Big Sheep farm just 4 miles away or the Milky Way Adventure Park, nestled 11 miles along the coast.

Head inside the cottage and you enter a warm and welcoming atmosphere, created by the light and airy open-plan space. This opening room boasts a large dining table allowing you to enjoy family meals as one, along with a fabulous wood burner from which to enjoy the crackle and pop on those chillier nights. Heading on through to the lounge, you’ll find an array of wonderfully comfortable furniture, allowing you to enjoy your favourite films after a day of adventures across North Devon. The well-appointed kitchen also sits on this floor providing all appliances needed for a stress-free stay, with a family shower room completing the downstairs. When the night draws in, head upstairs to your choice of three bedrooms; two bedrooms host a king-size bed with one having the added luxury of an en-suite shower room, whilst the third and final bedroom handily offers something different with a double and a single bed.

Stepping out the front door will bring you onto your own enclosed patio courtyard. Complete with outdoor seating, this is the perfect spot to relax with your favourite tipple and enjoy the sound of the flowing estuary across the way.

Very comfy chairs and beds, just what us oldies need! Lots of equipment and bits and pieces from the owner in the kitchen. Super shower!

She said it was but on seeing breakdown later, there were other charges involved. Enjoyable week though. Hide

Wed often seen this cottage as we stay in Appledore frequently. We couldnt believe our luck when we found out it was available! Ideally situated for both families and a quiet getaway, the cottage is next-door-but-one to the famous Johns deli, cafe and shop. A word of warning though, their stuff is so good, youll be a frequent customer! The cotRead moretage has a lovely little courtyard where we would sit and watch the world go by until after dark. Great sea views and perfect for early morning and late evening strolls. Inside its very roomy, light and really well-equipped. Beds are comfy, shower/wet room is great too. Smart TV meant our kids could watch Netflix when they came down in the morning. The communication from Dave and Lainey was personal, thoughtful and made us feel like friends not tourists. We loved the place and we will definitely be back again. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in Appledore, you wont find a better one than this. Hide
