A lovely, cosy cottage. Very well equipped, and in a brilliantly convenient location. Its close to the main car park, and within walking distance of all the restaurants, shops and pubs.

Lovely location. The cottage is fairly basic, in keeping with the age of the property, but perfectly adequate. It was worth paying for a week's parking at the Quay car park. It is worth noting that the property is over three floors and the main double ensuite is downstairs (fairly steep stairs). As you might expect, some of the rooms (kitchen and dRead moreining area) are on the cosy side. But loved hearing the sea lapping outside the windows. Hide

A lovely cottage right on the water's edge in the heart of Appledore with wonderful views across the estuary from indoors as well as from the two terraces. Spacious, comfortable and extremely clean accommodation. The shops, cafes and pubs all within a short walk. Will certainly return.

This is an old cottage which has been renovated to a great mixture of old and new. It was perfect for 5 of us with plentiful bathrooms and all the equipment we needed. Its location is exceptional, with the high tide coming right up to the walls a brilliant view and a very short walk into Appledore. The car park is close as are 2 excellent pubs furtRead moreher along Irsha Street. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the larger terrace with the view and sound of the waves. Hide

A fantastic location and a very comfortable cottage. We really enjoyed the views from the terrace and waking up to sea view. Appledore was a lovely place with plenty of places to eat out and an excellent deli. We would absolutely recommend it as a place to stay.
