Located in the heart of the charming fishing village of Appledore, this pretty cottage makes an ideal holiday destination for couples and small families. Walk down to the scenic village quay and browse the independent shops, galleries and restaurants or pop into one of the riverside pubs where you can sample the local ale while drinking in views across the estuary to Instow. With its friendly vibe and arty atmosphere, Appledore makes a tranquil and relaxing coastal holiday.

The interior of the property offers a calm and contemporary air, making it an ideal place to relax after long summer days out. With a wood burner effect gas fire and feature fireplace in the kitchen/dining room, the cottage boasts a snug atmosphere in cooler months.

This cottage was one of the best we have stayed in. Well equipped and lovely and warm. The only things missing in our view was a waste bin in bedroom and the lounge.

Beautiful, cosy end of terrace cottage. We stayed for a long weekend and were very lucky with the weather for October. Quayside View is well equipped and extremely comfortable. We were meant to be a party of 5 (incl. 1 dog) however, it ended up with just the two of us and our dog but the house is more than adequate for the 5 original guests.
