Reaching this apartment, based at the top of the building, you will find the cheerful and inviting open-plan lounge/diner. The tastefully decorated lounge is an ideal space to unwind in at the end of a great day, with TV/DVD, a range of board games and books, and plenty of seating including a sofa bed (if guests require). The pretty dining area offers views across the Rivers Torridge and Taw and across to Instow and Crow Point. The light and welcoming kitchen is equipped with everything you may need and has an additional dining area for breakfast or a quick snack. Exploring the apartment further, there's a cosy double bedroom with a TV. You will also have access to a shared patio with seating.

The stairs are steep but the advantage of being high up with sea views is more than worth the effort. The perfect hideaway for writers. Good lacation, well equipped and good value.

This was a lovely central place to stay in characterful Appledore. The stairs are worth noting if you have any mobility problems! However, once the stairs are climbed the cosy, clean, well equipped flat is very welcoming with beautiful views over the estuary.

The patio advertised unusable, covered in weeds, bushes overgrown, patio furniture rusty and filthy, washing hanging up for the whole 4 days, very disappointing!

This is a really lovely place to stay. It is up 2 flights of stairs but that's good cardiac exercise.

This is a clean, well presented cottage in a great location. It was easy to communicate with the host. We have stayed before and will do so again.
