Property code: DOLPH

Plucked straight from a fairytale, this beautiful terraced cottage is found in the centre of the ancient fishing village of Appledore. Surrounded by idyllic scenery, Dolphin Cottage ensures a tranquil stay. Appledore Quay (within 200 metres) is a must-visit; it comes to life in summer with its blooming flowers, pretty pastel houses and many shops, pubs, galleries and restaurants.

Decorated with a tasteful and contemporary style, this nautical themed cottage is complete with comfortable furniture and technology including Wi-Fi and Freeview TV to help you feel at home. Whether you visit in summer or winter, the wood burner is always popular on chilly evenings. A fully equipped kitchen and a choice to dine either inside or out on the enclosed decked courtyard means eating-in has never been easier, but if a break from the kitchen is desired, wander down to the quay and pick up some highly regarded fish and chips. Upstairs there is a beautiful double bedroom with a feature fireplace and wrought-iron bedstead, and a light and airy twin bedroom too.

Explore some of North Devon’s best beaches including Croyde and Woolacombe, accessed via a 20-mile scenic drive either in the car or by bus. For keen walkers, take the South West Coast Path to Instow to grab a famous Hockings Ice Cream. For an adventure closer to home, why not visit the North Devon Maritime Museum to discover the rich shipbuilding and seafaring history of the area. Attractions such as The BIG Sheep or Arlington Court are also brilliant days out for the whole family.

Lovely homely cottage right in the centre of Appledore. Convenient for the quay, cafes and restaurants. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Complementary bottle of wine and milk on arrival -nice touch. Comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. Pigeons a pest on decking. Would go again and recommend it. If eating out, The Yard is only a fewRead more steps from the front door , as is The Flame Factory for Pizzas. Both excellent Dolphin Cottage is delightful and Appledore is charming. Hide

Nice cottage, with all the necessary equipment for your holiday. Only downside was parking which was tricky to find a space anywhere near the end of the quay near to the cottage, which was especially a problem on arrival and departure when having to make four trips back and forth to the car to unload and load.

A charming little cottage ideally suited to a young family - lovely kitchen-breakfast room, comfy sitting room, a decent master bedroom and a pretty decked garden for a gin-and-tonic after the children were in bed, and only a stones throw from the quayside and shops/pubs!
