Situated on a quaint narrow street in the historic fishing village of Appledore, this cottage promises an unforgettable escape for its guests. The property has a contemporary feel thanks to its furnishings but original features such as beautiful exposed beams along with low ceilings give you a perfect mix of old and new. Come home after a long day of surfing at Westward Ho! (3 miles), rinse off, and unwind by the wood burner in the cosy lounge/diner, before heading out for dinner at one of the many restaurants between 300 and 800 metres from your door.
Whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast for the day ahead in the stylish kitchen or relaxing on the sofa in front of the TV after exploring the local area, you’ll soon feel at home here. The interior reflects the property’s position on the River Torridge, adding calming nautical touches throughout, reminiscent of the scenery just outside the cottage. Climb the lovely open-tread wooden stairs and retire to the double or single room, with its quirky sloped ceiling.
Walk the South West Coast Path along the river and discover the range of pubs and restaurants that Appledore has to offer, all within half a mile of the property. The North Devon Maritime Museum is a 160-metre walk, plus you can take the ferry to Instow (1 mile) where you’ll find a small, pretty beach. If golf is your thing, tee off at the Royal North Devon Golf Club (2 miles), followed by a quiet walk around the Northam Burrows Country Park that backs onto the beach at Westward Ho!.
