Overview
Property code: 63084

Make your escape to this colourful cottage nestled in Devon's delightful Appledore. Up to four guests, plus two happy hounds are welcome at the two-bedroom, period property, which is tucked away in a tranquil quarter of the picturesque coastal village. Spend days out on beautiful beaches, enjoy scenic walks and while away your holiday time pottering in interesting shops and dining out.

Step inside to find a fresh interior, where light rooms are further lifted by brightly coloured furniture and accessories. Hang your coats in the hall then wander through to the lounge to relax in front of the Smart TV or listen to your favourite tunes through the Sonos system. Cook tasty treats in the kitchen then serve up in the airy dining room. Find a separate WC, a useful utility room and your family bathroom also on the ground floor. Make your way up to the first floor to discover two inviting bedrooms. Both have Smart TVs and the master comes with an en-suite shower room. Spend warm days soaking up the serenity in your courtyard garden - carry your coffee outside on summer mornings and fire up the BBQ on balmy evenings.

Discover the delights of Appledore as you wander down its narrow lanes and along the quay. Catch the ferry to Instow, with its pier and sandy beach. Walk 3 miles along the beach or through the Northam Burrows Country Park to Westward Ho!, named after Charles Kingsley's novel of 1855. Picnic and play on the stretching sands here. Families might also like to make time to visit one of the many attractions in this corner of Devon, including the Milky Way Adventure Park, 12.5 miles away.

Our second visit to this cottage and enjoyed our stay. There is plenty of room for a party of 4 and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. A sunny back yard with views of the estuary. Centrally located which is ideal but does have a steep street to climb and steep stairs inside.

Lovely cottage, comfortable, clean, quiet, excellent location, Appledore is a stunning place, good pubs, good food places, excellent ferry across the water, nice walking options to Westward Ho!, regular bus service. The kitchen is huge with plenty of equipment, I did feel the cottage could supply basics like tea, coffee, only supplying 2 dishwasherRead more tablets for the week feels a little tight, you are on holiday after all. However I wouldn't let that stop me from booking again. Hide

We stayed here 2 years ago so got exactly what we expected. An excellent base to stay with our 2 elderly Jack Russell's. My only comment on location is that the cottage is at the top of a veriy steep hill which maybe it would be helpful to stress in marketing material. I imagine some might struggle to walk up from the quayside.

Beautiful cottage. Spotlessly clean. The only negative would be the garden. If you love to sit outside this isn't the cottage for you. If you struggle walking and climbing steep stairs (definitely a climb) this isn't for you. Luckily this wasn't a problem for us. I think if the garden was designed it would be an amazing stay. We still had a lovely Read morebreak and would definitely go back (if they invested some money in the garden). Hide

Nice little house in a lovely village. Great location for accessing the rest of North Devon. The lounge was cosy and the kitchen was nicely equipped. Stairs quite steep.
