  • Charming former fisherman’s cottage with a pretty suntrap courtyard garden
  • Set in the heart of the fishing village of Appledore with the bustling quayside, quaint shops, galleries, restaurants and gastro pubs on your doorstep
  • The perfect base for exploring all North Devon has to offer, why not roam the South West Coastal Path? or take a short drive, healthy dog walk or ferry to the golden sands of Instow or Westward Ho! beach?
Property code: 59434

In a central location in the former fishing village of Appledore, this property is a charming terraced cottage on the doorstep of the River Torridge. With a quaint town to explore and a warm, homely abode to retreat to at the end of a long day of exploring, guests will be able to escape the rat race and put their minds at ease when they step through the door of this pleasant property.

Utilising character features whilst maintaining a contemporary style, the interior of this cottage has been carefully designed. Exposed wood beams, a wood burner stove and a private, enclosed courtyard add to the authentic feel, whilst the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings and Wi-Fi bring the property into the 21st century. The bright and airy double bedroom is on the first floor of the property along with the king-size bedroom, which share a bathroom with shower over bath and WC. Outside in the courtyard, this spacious cove also has garden furniture included for taking in the fresh air with your first cup of coffee in the morning before you set about your day.

Less than 500 ft from your doorstep, guests will find Appledore Sails - a fantastic seafaring experience that offer sailing and motorboat trips that require no experience, just sit back, relax and enjoy the open water. If you’re feeling a tad more active, head to the North Devon Surf School just 3 miles away and learn to surf on some of the best waves in the UK at Westward Ho! beach. If surfing isn’t for you, then just take in the views and lie back on the golden sands until the beautiful sun sets over the Atlantic.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 king-size and 1 double
  • 1 bathroom (located upstairs along with the 2 bedrooms)
  • Electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine
  • Wood burner (first basket of logs included)
  • Roadside parking subject to availability or local car park (charges apply)
  • Beach 3 miles, shops, restaurants and pub within walking distance
  • Smart TV in lounge
  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 15:30 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week

First visit and loved Barbers Cottage and Appledore. Touring the West Country and was going to use it as a base to explore North Devon. But never got out of Appledore and Instow. Great cottage, brilliantly situated, well equipped, spotlessly clean. Great pubs in the village and walks from it. Happy days.

Absolutely fabulous cottage - really cosy and with everything you need. We loved the decor. Location is perfect - we were able to walk so much from our front door. Would highly recommend staying here and we would return. Would consider coming in colder months just so we can sit in the kitchen with the stove alight! The dogs loved it.

The cottage is adequately equipped and has enough space for two people, but not for four in the cooler months. Its location is very central and the pubs and shops are very close by. Parking can sometimes be a problem and access is difficult on arrival and departure days, as in many seaside villages.
