Very comfy chairs and beds, just what us oldies need! Lots of equipment and bits and pieces from the owner in the kitchen. Super shower!

She said it was but on seeing breakdown later, there were other charges involved. Enjoyable week though. Hide

Wed often seen this cottage as we stay in Appledore frequently. We couldnt believe our luck when we found out it was available! Ideally situated for both families and a quiet getaway, the cottage is next-door-but-one to the famous Johns deli, cafe and shop. A word of warning though, their stuff is so good, youll be a frequent customer! The cotRead moretage has a lovely little courtyard where we would sit and watch the world go by until after dark. Great sea views and perfect for early morning and late evening strolls. Inside its very roomy, light and really well-equipped. Beds are comfy, shower/wet room is great too. Smart TV meant our kids could watch Netflix when they came down in the morning. The communication from Dave and Lainey was personal, thoughtful and made us feel like friends not tourists. We loved the place and we will definitely be back again. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in Appledore, you wont find a better one than this. Hide
