Delight in a stay at this truly special, three-storey cottage in the charming Devon village of Appledore, 2 miles from the beach at Westward Ho! Sleeping seven guests and welcoming dogs, the four-bedroom retreat has a stylish interior and sun-soaked garden for relaxing in.

Take two steps up to enter the impressive, double-front property and from the hall make your way on into the welcoming lounge. Settle in here together to play games, listen to music or watch a film on the Smart TV or DVD player. Alternatively, wander through to the snug/diner to light the open fire and unwind in front of another Smart TV. The elegant kitchen, with its central island and breakfast bar, has yet another Smart TV to enjoy as you cook. A utility room and WC can be found close by. As night falls, make your way up to the first floor of the property to lay your head in the super-king-size with en-suite, single bedroom, the double or the super-king-size, which has zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as twins if discussed in advance. The family bathroom is also at this level. Climb up to the second floor to another super-king-size room, with a Smart TV, en-suite shower room, sloping ceilings and skylight window for stargazing. Follow the steps up to the lawned rear garden, where you can sizzle supper on the BBQ, hose down your four-legged friend and watch the children as they play on the grass. Parking for this cottage is on the road, subject to availability.

Find yourselves just a short hop over by ferry to the beach at Instow in the high season. Take the children 3.5 miles to the Big Sheep Farm and Theme Park and take your canine companions for long walks through the Northam Burrows Country Park, 1 mile away.

A really well equipped house, nicely furnished and well laid out for family use. Due to the inclement Easter weather we couldn't take advantage of the garden and BBQ area, but the house itself was clean, warm and comfortable with all facilities well maintained. A very enjoyable and welcoming holiday location.

We had a fantastic time at the cottage and found it to be fully equipped with everything we needed and more. We were a group consisting 5 adults, 3 children and a dog and at no point did we feel on top of one another.
