This delightful former fisherman’s cottage located in the picturesque fishing village of Appledore in North Devon is a great place for families who are looking to explore the local area. Situated on a quiet street, this property offers space and comfort with lots of outdoor space. You will not find it difficult to sit back, relax and breathe in the fresh, sea air. It is within walking distance of several pubs, cafes and shops and is only 3 miles from the seaside resort of Westward Ho!.

Stepping inside, you will be pleasantly surprised to find light, airy and spacious accommodation, tastefully decorated throughout with a blend of neutral tones and warm woods. The lounge is cosy and comfortable with a traditional stone fireplace surrounding a wood burner. The contemporary kitchen/diner is well-equipped and has seating for four. Up a narrow, winding staircase from the kitchen are three bedrooms, one of which is king-size whilst the others are singles. The king-size is spacious with stunning views across the estuary. To the rear, is an unexpectedly large garden, which is accessed from one of the single rooms. It has a BBQ and furniture for al fresco dining.

Appledore is a lovely village with plenty to explore in its narrow, cobbled streets. In summer, a ferry can take you across to the attractive beach, dunes and pubs of Instow. Westward Ho! (3 miles) is one of the finest beaches in the area, with miles of sand and clean surf and plenty of places to eat and drink. For heritage, visit Clovelly, the picturesque, cobbled village in the cliffs (15 miles). For fun-filled days out visit The BIG Sheep and The Milky Way (within 11 miles).

Great Location, and a great little cottage. It's clean and well equipped, with a smart TV, w/machine etc. The only downside was that there was no external washing line. (although there is a clothes horse). The garden is accessible from the shared path or the first-floor bathroom. Parking - 30 for the week, which is reasonable. Street parking is freRead moree. (If you can find a space) The use of the Kayak was fantastic, with 2 Lifejackets supplied. (The kayak needs to be carried by 2 adults). Hide

Lovely little cottage, clean and cosy with comfy sofas and beds. Surprisingly spacious garden hidden away. Short walk to harbourside and local cafes and restaurants. Only watch out there is no access to the house by car at all. Parking was OK on nearby streets but a bit of a pain for unpacking/packing and one to bear in mind if any mobility issues
