Great location, just a short walk into town. Very clean and tidy in a quiet street. Lovely views. Be careful on the stairs to the top floor bedroom as they are very steep, no handrail and low ceiling at the bottom - my daughter cracked her head more than once! Single bedroom is very small. Overall though I thoroughly recommend for your stay in ApplRead moreedore. Hide

Weve just returned from a superb week in Appledore. The welcome pack on arrival, which included treats for the dogs, was a lovely touch. The location of the house was perfect, only a 5 minute walk to the lovely town centre. The driveway was a rarity in Appledown and it was also easy to park on the road outside the house too.

Fantastic cottage with great views out over the estuary from the patio, the lounge and both double bedrooms. The dynamic nature of the rivers and the sea meant that the view was constantly changing. Appledore is a hidden gem with plenty of opportunity to take in the surroundings and enjoy good food/drink. Slight negative - the en-suite was a touch Read moresmall, but this didnt detract at all. Would definitely book again. Hide

The cottage was very clean and tidy and I would recommend to others. Safe secure back garden if you have little ones and also a handy outside tap so you can clean off sand/mud on your return from beach/walks. For dog owners there was also dog bowls and even treats in the welcome hamper which was a very nice touch!

The house is in a great location in easy walking distance of all Appledores cafes, pubs and restaurants.
