  • Located in the quaint fishing village of Appledore with bustling quayside, shops, pubs, cafes, galleries and restaurants

Property code: 78958

Situated in an elevated position with prime views over the River Torridge to Instow, this stunning property promises a tranquil escape to guests. Spacious and welcoming with a perfect blend of the traditional and contemporary, this pretty cottage offers an opportunity to unwind among superb scenery and comfortable surroundings. Wake up in one of the light and airy bedrooms, head down to the top patio area with your cup of tea and look out across the water.

 

Whether you’re off down the South West Coast Path (0.5 miles) or you’re curled up with a book in the snug, you’ll find your own way to unwind here. The interiors embrace the soothing blue tones of the sea as well as the calming colours of nature, creating a fresh yet cosy feel. In the evening, turn on the flame-effect gas fire in the lounge and sit in the chairs looking out towards the river as the light fades. Balmy nights call for sizzling up a BBQ on the top patio and dining alfresco, or simply enjoying a tipple on one of the other two patios that both have their own character.

 

Hope on the foot ferry over to Instow (2 miles; 5 miles by car) and spend the day at the beach or sampling the food and drink at the pubs and cafes. You could also walk to Tapeley Park (2.5 miles by foot ferry; 4 miles by car) where the open gardens and stunning house sit high on a hill overlooking the River Torridge. Children will love the 2-mile stretch of sands at Westward Ho! Beach (3 miles) as well as the thrilling rides at the BIG Sheep (4 miles).

Comfortable House with a great view of estuary. Great to have own parking space. Very quiet area. Not to far a walk to the promenade.

Lovely accommodation and stunning view. Great to have parking, and a garden. The village green was just a short walk away for dog walking. Appledore is such a friendly place with great pubs, crabbing and very dog friendly. The ferry to Instow is well worth doing. Id highly recommend the house and area. Hope to go back next summer.

Very well equipped and comfortable house in an elevated position with great views over the estuary. A short walk down to the waterfront with local shops and eateries. Handy to have parking and a games room.

Fernlea is absolutely wonderful for couples and families alike. It is the most well equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in. It is spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed the ever changing view from the front and would have made use of the very attractive garden had the weather been fine. Proximity to shops, beaches, walks is excellent.

Clean & tidy property, well equipped, though we had to enquire about whereabouts of the ironing board and the clothes airer. Great views of the river from the living room and two of the three upstairs bedrooms! Watch out for steep stairs to the bedrooms, and the series of steps to the garage and parking space at the back garden. If steps are no proRead moreblem for you, enjoy the delightful views of the river. Convenient short walk to a playing field nearby, especially for your dog(s). Hide

Lovely cottage with the most amazing view. Easy reach to Appledore centre where there are some great places to eat and always something to watch. The walk to the centre is a short but steep walk down with an event steeper walk back! We enjoyed going to Westward Ho and taking our puppy on the beach at the Burrows/north end. We enjoyed great fish andRead more chips at the Seagate, lovely cream tea at the market street kitchen, and brilliant take out from the the flame factory. John's is also worth going to Hide

Lovely cottage, wonderfully equipped and comfortable. View, especially from Sitting Room, is awesome. Beware, it is as steep as described, but we managed to walk to and from village Ok. Rear steps in garden are a bit worrying for older people with no hand rail. Also no hand holds in either shower.

The location of the house was good for visiting the surrounding areas. It was well equipped and the views from the house and garden were lovely. The garden is on several different levels with seating area on all patios and was very pleasant. Had a great Sunday lunch in the Beaver in Appledore and a lovely meal in the Boathouse in Instow with great Read moreviews overlooking the estuary. The beach at Westward Ho was lovely however my favorite was Saunton Sands. Would definitely visit again Hide
