This impressive cottage situated in the pretty village of Appledore, is perfect for a group of friends or a family to enjoy a peaceful holiday and is an ideal base for discovering beautiful Devon attractions including Saunton Sands (17 miles) and the charming and unique clifftop village of Clovelly (13 miles). Appledore's cobbled lanes are filled with art galleries and independent shops and a short ride on the seasonal ferry will take you to Instow, with its sandy beach and famous deli.

The living area has a wood burner for cosy evenings, making it a great choice all year round. Comfortable seating is perfect for small talk or to sit back and watch the Smart TV. The large dining area invites you to enjoy sociable meals and the kitchen is close by and equipped with all you need to rustle up some family favourites. The ground floor benefits from plenty of natural light from the windows off the dining area and the wet room shower is ideal for washing off sandy toes. On the first floor are a king-size bedroom and a twin with a washbasin. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC completes the first floor. Stairs lead to the top floor where you will find two other bedrooms - a spacious twin with Smart TV, beautiful high ceilings and exposed beams and a king-size with a four-poster bed, and a Smart TV.

I took my wife away for her 60th with my son his wife and two children. Also my daughter who flew home from the USA. We love Appledore and have been coming here for over 40 years on and off. The cottage was perfect for us. In a great location for all the local amenities. Very comfortable cottage with all the facilities we needed. Thank you.

A perfect location in Appledore. The house was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped for our family group of seven adults plus dog. The house is located very close to Johns Deli, which was a huge boon! It is also only a stone's throw from the Appledore promenade with picturesque views across to Instow. Would recommend!

One of the best cottages weve ever stayed in having visited Appledore and both Devon for decades and stayed in many different places. Extremely well equipped with excellent bedding, towels, toiletries and items for staying in a cottage for a week. Good layout with high quality touches and decor. Property has lovely personal touches for guest check Read morein and really makes dogs feel welcome with bowls, treats, dog bed and blankets. Great location with the quay on your doorstep. Highly recommend. Hide

An absolutely beautiful and quirky house. Every cooking utensil and pan that you could ever desire. Location so close to the sea front and between both Johns shops is fabulous. An amazing stay. The only challenge we had was using the microwave!
