This pretty first floor apartment is located in the traditional fishing village of Appledore, situated on the estuary of the River Torridge, offering a wonderful base for a restful break.

Situated in the pretty village of Appledore, one of North Devon's most beloved fishing villages, this stylish yet traditional apartment is in the perfect location for a small family holiday to the seaside. Appledore has plenty of things to do, from crabbing and boating opportunities to some welcoming eateries: there's nothing that says holiday more than eating fish and chips by the quay. Another of Appledore's selling points is the large number of lovely art galleries, showcasing some of the finest work in the area.

This apartment is bright and airy, with subtle and effective decor. The lounge is cosy so you can sink back into the sofas in front of the feature fireplace with a programme on the Smart TV for those quiet nights in. The kitchen/diner is well-equipped and perfectly presented, providing a lovely environment to cook in, and then tuck into a delicious meal with your family. The main bedroom boasts exposed beams, Velux windows and inviting pops of colour, adding to the rustic and charming decor. The twin bedroom has been decorated with a similar style, helping you sink down into comfortable beds for a restful sleep after a day in the fresh sea air.

If you wish to explore further from Appledore, the coastline has some splendid beaches, such as Westward Ho! (3 miles) and Instow (5 miles), which are ideal for a day of relaxing on the sand. The town of Bideford (4 miles) has some great pubs and restaurants, as well as a high street for a shopping trip. The kids are sure to enjoy a day out at one of the nearby attractions, such as The Big Sheep just 4 miles away.

Just enjoyed a wonderful week at Sea Chest Cottage on Market Street in Appledore from 19-25 August 2024. The village is delightful and its evidently got a really vibrant heart in summer. Local food & drink options are excellent and Irsha Street is well worth a stroll. Instow & Bideford are lovely and Exmoor is just on your doorstep so whats not to Read morelike? Lynton/mouth just over an hours drive and Watersmeet is another lovely stroll. Great fish & chips at Sylvesters are well worth the queue! X Hide

This apartment is lovely, much better than we expected. The photos do not do it justice! The owners clearly take pride in making sure their property is a lovely place to stay. The location is perfect - right in the centre of the town yet also very quiet. Perfect for that getaway for couples or a family of 4.
