Overview
Property code: 52863

Renovated in 2017, this colourful Victorian cottage boasts sea views that stretch from your dining table across to Instow beach. Located in the charming village of Appledore just 2.5 miles from the popular beach resort of Westward Ho!, Fisherman’s View offers guests an accessible and picturesque base to explore the beauty of North Devon. Take in the stunning views from the bathtub or the master bedroom and breathe in the fresh sea air as you plan your day in this delightful part of Devon.

Set in the charming cobbled streets of Appledore, guests will immediately be taken back in time by the stable door that leads into the quirky lounge/dining area that features a wood burner and a TV/DVD player. From here, you will find a well-equipped kitchen with concrete worktops. Outside, guests can enjoy their own private courtyard - perfect for al fresco dining. Upstairs, the master bedroom looks out onto stunning views of the estuary, whilst the cosy twin room is perfect for families. The shared bathroom is also designed with comfort in mind with an elegant rolltop bath, rainforest shower and WC.

Less than half a mile from the property, guests will find the popular North Devon Maritime Museum: an intriguing insight into the nautical history of the area, with plenty of activities for kids. 2.5 miles south is Westward Ho! beach, where guests can watch the sunset on the golden sands or spend the day learning to surf some of the UK’s best coastal waves. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you’re back and cosied up by the fire for those chilly evenings. A perfect property for a family stay.

Absolutely beautiful. A stunning cottage in a lovely village. Perfectly placed in the centre of everything. Spotlessly clean and everything thought of to make for a comfortable stay. The stairs were quite steep and might be an issue for some. The views from the bedrooms were stunning.

An excellent cottage as a base for North Devon. We enjoyed Appledore very much indeed. The stairs are a bit steep as noted by others, but very manageable if you are sound on your feet. Take the short boat trip across to Instow and have brunch at Johns, or dinner in the Boathouse - food great at both. Johns in Appledore is a great deli. And the steaRead morek at the Flame Factory was great too. The beaches and coastal walks are super - Sauton Beach a must. Highly recommend the cottage ans the area Hide

A really lovely small cottage in an ideal location and not ridiculously expensive. Appledore is terrific and the cottage is in an ideal location to explore North Devon. We really enjoyed our stay. Tip, unless you are very fit do not visit Clevelly, it is a terrifying and quite dangerous descent.

Weve stayed in Appledore several times before and this is by far our favourite cottage. Very central, beautiful decor throughout, cosy with a log burner and lovely views of the estuary.

The cottage is very close to the quay and bedrooms have a great view of the sea. Also close to local pubs so can be very noisy at closing time. Theres no parking but we did manage to park on the road very close to the cottage most days. The car park across the road is free from 6pm to 8am so if youre stuck it doesnt cost to park overnight. The staiRead morers in the cottage are steep and not suitable for those with restricted mobility. There is a very small yard, not very inviting to sit in. Hide

Lovely little cottage in great location. Stairs are a bit steep and tricky but ok with caution. Great shower but bath might be a problem to some people as on a platform which makes it difficult to get in or out of. Will definitely come again as great location and near everything, can definitely recommend.
