Whimbrel Cottage was warm, welcoming and well appointed. Apart from not being able to bring our car to the property because of the narrowness of the lane ( which you cant fix!) the property is wonderful and the bed extremely comfortable. Our furry friend was also well catered for.

The cottage was a lovely, cosy, comfortable place to stay in Appledore. Very close to the harbour, shops and pubs. It was the perfect size for two of us plus a little dog. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated extras like the Netflix account, books and games. Would definitely recommend for a trip to Appledore.
