Property code: GABLE

Set in the picturesque and historic village of Appledore, this apartment belongs to a building located less than 200 yards from the picturesque harbour. There you will find stunning views up and down the estuary and across the water to Instow. Along the quayside and in the narrow, cobbled streets nearby, there are plenty of pubs and restaurants offering a friendly welcome and good quality seafood dishes sourced locally.

From the comfort of either the twin or the double bedroom, you can enjoy views out across the estuary when you wake in the morning - or watch the lights bouncing and twinkling on the water last thing at night. Prepare delicious home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen then gather round the dining table, perhaps planning your day over breakfast in the morning or reliving the adventures of the day at supper time. In the restful lounge area, you can snuggle on the soft sofas around the flame effect electric fire and keep up with your favourite TV programmes, watch a family DVD together or stick some music on and delve into a book.

Westward Ho!, with its long sandy beach, Atlantic surf and seafront with lively amusements is only 3 miles away. 2 miles away, golfers might like to play a round at The Royal North Devon Golf Club - a historic course that stretches out across Northam Burrows. The ancient town of Bideford (4 miles) offers parks, galleries, shops and restaurants - and access to The Oldenberg passenger ferry which sails out to the spectacular nature reserve that is Lundy Island, with its puffins, seals and other wildlife in abundance.

The Gables is a great base for exploring the local area. Flat 4 does need some updating as both the decor, furniture and fittings are looking tired, however the bathroom has clearly recently been renovated and is nice and modern. On site parking is a bonus in Appledore, however there are 3 spaces available for 4 Flats. Appledore is beautifully quieRead moret and the views from the master bedroom are lovely. The location sells this property, ideal for a "no frills" base just somewhere to eat and sleep. Hide

This was our second visit to Appledore - staying in the same apartment. Lovely views of the estuary and over to Instow beach from the main bedroom. This property is situated at the top of a hill but has the added bonus of ease of parking.
