As others have commented on the website, the photos on the rental listing don't do justice to how lovely the property and it's grounds are. Appledore is in short walking distance and is a great base to explore North Devon to it's fullest. Highly recommended.

Excellent location and bungalow perfect for peace(except when sheep are moved to the adjoining field)! And stunning views. All needs catered for, fabulous hosts, and easy access to town and bus service. Really enjoyed our stay.

Weve stayed in 5 other places in the area and this is the best. Pilots View is a very spacious, light and airy, well-located property with fabulous views. Its up about 12 steps but all on one floor. Its very clean, well equipped and comfortable with good outdoor space.

We had a fantastic time at Pilot's View. The location is stunning and the house is very comfortable, well-appointed and just beautiful. It is in a quiet area with some lovely local walks nearby and very close to Appledore itself which has some interesting shops and eateries. We visited several places during our trip as the house is ideally situatedRead more for day trips around North Devon but we were more than happy to also spend time sitting admiring the view from the patio and the lovely garden.

We really couldn't fault this holiday at all. The property was even better than it looked in the pictures and the view was fabulous. It has the peace and quiet that comes with being a little out of town, but it's also a good central location for everything in the area (we would highly recommend the gardens at RHS Rosemoor and the village of ClovellRead morey) The hosts are friendly and welcoming and we could not have asked for a better holiday. Many thanks. Hide
