Property code: COCKL

Full of character and coastal charm, this cottage is fantastically located in the bustling waterside village of Appledore. Venture down the road to discover restaurants with superb estuary views, journey along with the vibrant quay and explore quirky shops before heading back to base to unwind in the beautiful open-plan living area. For a romantic getaway full of fresh air and exploring, Cockle Cottage will get you in the holiday mood right away.

Contemporary yet boasting classic charm to remind you of your fabulous coastal location, this property and its light interior is perfect for putting your feet up after a day spent out and about. A cosy sofa invites you to curl up with a good book, whilst the spacious kitchen fitted with two sky lights will have you excited to cook up a storm. Upstairs, soak in the bath before heading to bed in the bright ocean-themed bedrooms. Feeling revived from a good night’s sleep, take your morning coffee outside in the enclosed courtyard.

Spend the day roaming the narrow streets of Appledore, colourfully studded with galleries, independent shops and cosy cafes. Enjoy a dinner of fish and chips on the quay and treat yourself to a local ice cream before heading home. 3 miles away, the golden sands of Westward Ho! beach await you; find yourself a picnic spot before dipping your toes in the ocean and walking across the wild burrows. Walk the South West Coast Path for cliff-top vantage points of the crashing waves below, or wander the cobbled streets of Clovelly just 14 miles away and sample seafood fresh from the morning’s catch.

The cottage had all you need and was very comfortable the only problem that greets you is when you open the back door and find steep steps directly outside the door to the garden. Not good for older people or like us a big dog that cannot get up and turn into the garden easily or come back down safely as not enough room as he comes down into the kiRead moretchen. Fine for little dogs. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cockle Cottage. Its perfectly located for a relaxing break in Appledore, being a short walk from pubs and shops and also the rocky beach and the coast path. The property itself has everything you could need and makes great use of space. There is a car park within an easy walk that you can buy a weekly a ticket for.Read more The outside space is lovely to sit and relax, though the steps to reach it are certainly steep as described.

Thoroughly recommend Cockle Cottage. It is well equipped, very clean and very comfortable. Perfect location at the quieter end of a quiet street but lovely stroll into the town and nearby Beaver Inn. A small repair required was immediately dealt with by very friendly caretakers. We came home thoroughly relaxed and happy.
