Offering glorious views across the River Torridge as it meets the River Taw, this stylish, light and spacious second-floor apartment makes a fabulous holiday retreat for couples and smaller families. A great base for exploring the gorgeous beaches, quaint harbour towns and magnificent countryside of North Devon, the property offers bright and relaxing accommodation for up to four guests. Overlooking the historic quay in the picturesque fishing village of Appledore, this delightful and characterful retreat sits above a fantastic tearoom and delicatessen, and has been stylishly updated and decorated in fresh, soothing tones.

A shared entrance leads to a steep and winding cottage-style staircase which takes you up to the entrance of the apartment on the second floor of the building. Inside, you will find the spacious open-plan living area with a large window overlooking the quay, and a telescope so you can watch as boats cross the estuary and head out to sea. The lounge has a Smart TV and Bluetooth speakers, making an ideal space to sit back and unwind, while the central dining table is perfect for sharing favourite meals which you can rustle up in the stylishly designed kitchen. The property also has two delightful bedrooms, each with a TV and an invigorating en-suite bathroom: you can choose between the lovely king-size room and the cheery twin.

Appledore has a wealth of great places to eat and drink, with a bustling quay so you can watch the boats come and go. The popular village of Instow is just a mile away by ferry, with a wonderful sandy estuary beach. Westward Ho! (3 miles) has a stunning two-mile long sandy beach. Other local attractions include Northam Burrows Country Park, The BIG Sheep, The Milky Way Adventure Park and the traditional village of Clovelly, all within 14 miles.

Spacious accommodation with wonderful views across the estuary towards Instow. Ideally located for all that Appledore has to offer. Two flights of winding stairs but worth it when you get to the top!!

Fabulous location. Very comfortable with everything needed for a brilliant stay. Yes, stairs to gain access not brilliant, but that was mentioned in property details. Parking on the front might not always be available but we were able to pull up to unload/load. We paid for 7 day parking which was reasonably priced and not at all far to walk backRead more to property. The only downside though with that was you had to pass the 'Hockings' ice cream van! Hide

This really is an apartment with a view. Well decorated and spotlessly clean. Even though the wind was blowing a hoolie one day, the apartment was lovely and cosy. There are two flights of very steep and winding stairs, which may present a problem to some, but the views from the master bedroom and lounge are well worth the climb.

We loved staying at Lobster's Loft. The view over the estuary is lovely and relaxing. The cottage has everything you need and is ideally located in Appledore. The nearest pub is a 2 minute walk away! We loved visiting The Champ pub and everyone we met were very friendly. We can't wait to go back again.
