Overview
Property code: 80567

Nestled just a stone’s throw from the bustling quayside, this a perfect retreat for families and couples alike, plus two dogs. Explore the rugged coastline dotted with beaches, coves and pretty harbour villages along the South West Coast Path, before returning to enjoy the character and period charm of this cottage. Here, contemporary creature comforts sit harmoniously against the traditional backdrop of flagstone floors and exposed brickwork and beams.

Compact and cosy, a palette of neutral creams gives the impression of space, with splashes of bright colour here and there adding homely touches. After a busy day exploring, cook up a storm in the charming little kitchen and then relax on the sofa with a book and a glass of wine, warming your toes in front of the roaring wood burner. On warm evenings catch the last of the daylight with an al fresco meal on the decked balcony which is accessed from the bunk room. Retreat for a good nights sleep in the tranquil bedrooms up a set of cottage-style stairs, recharging the batteries for another day of fun.

The pretty fishing village of Appledore has a variety of shops, galleries, family pubs and restaurants. Follow the South West Coast Path to the beaches at Westward Ho! (2.5 miles) Peppercombe (8 miles) and Saunton Sands (17.5 miles). Kids will love The Milky Way Adventure Park (11 miles) and The Big Sheep (4 miles). Young and old can get hearts pumping at Ivyleaf Paintball (25 miles) and The Ultimate Adventure Centre (4 miles).

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights and thought it was perfect for what we needed. It is small but perfectly set-up in terms of interior. We didn't cook at the property so can't really comment on that but all the basics seemed to be there. The bed is now comfy! The small deck is a great suntrap. Great location. Very quiet.

Very small. Ad mentions a courtyard but there wasnt one unless you count the path up to the front door. Ok for an outdoors type person / couple but not really big enough for more than 2 people. But comes with all mod-cons - just very compact .

This property was clean but be warned its very bijou! I wouldnt say fit for 4 people. Location is great, parking is annoying unless you can get a space near the alleyways. The property was cute, bijou but lacked thought, it wasnt as comfortable as it could have been or practical. Kids bedroom door didnt shut, decking table and chairs were old needeRead mored a sand/varnish, absolute sun trap though but no umbrella. Check out the royal George fabulous food. Only one shop which is small and expensive. Hide

I was booked in for a week and stayed one night. The alleyway to the cottage was sloped upwards, not ideal with luggage. The cottage was tiny, I couldnt see any chairs for table. Microwave was in high cupboard so would have been dangerous to use. Stairs so narrow couldnt take suitcase up, window to terrace difficult to open. An information booklet Read morecould have addressed some of these issues. TV tiny and round a corner. I found the whole place depressing, and had to pay to park Hide

Cosy small cottage in need of sone general improvements as bit on the tatty side with some maintenance issues needing to be rectified. Very comfortable beds but shame other things let it down. Fine if you are not fussy and just want a base (as well located) but other better options available in the area.

Excellent location, Mole End retains a sense of character & charm. It is warm & light & the birdsong in the morning is lovely. IMO, it seems a little neglected overall. Personally I found the standards of cleanliness, care & attention to detail too inconsistent and in some cases lacking altogether. Space is optimised throughout, the kitchen is wellRead more equipped, the furniture is functional. There is WiFi, I found connectivity better upstairs. HC are responsive & easy to deal should the need arise. Hide

Really sweet cosy warm cottage in pretty village. Quiet in Jan but just how we like it, great walking nearby. Slippy outside in lane on cobbles and dark just take care. Steep stairs and very narrow each side of bed. Fully equipped kitchen but lovely cafe, pubs and fish and chips just down road
