This superb holiday home offers luxurious accommodation in the quaint, waterside village of Appledore, just a few steps from the quayside and a short drive from popular attractions, theme parks and beaches. Offering comfort and quality for groups of family or friends with two dogs in two, the property is perfectly positioned for exploring this delightful corner of North Devon. Across the river is Instow, reached via a short drive (6 miles) or the passenger ferry (seasonal). Here you’ll find sand dunes, an estuary beach, more pubs, and a lovely delicatessen/cafe to pick up treats before you head out for the day. The port town of Bideford is just 2 miles with its weekly pannier market. Westward Ho! with its vast sandy beach, Saunton Sands, Woolacombe and Croyde are all within 30 miles, while the family theme parks of The BIG Sheep (4 miles) and The Milky Way (11 miles) are both worth a visit.
This reverse-level accommodation allows for guests to witness the ever-changing estuary views from the airy, open-plan living space upstairs, while four sumptuous bedrooms await on the ground floor. Starting upstairs, the living space combines a delightful lounge space with a well-appointed kitchen and scenic dining area. Bathed in sunlight thanks to the large windows, skylights and balcony doors, this charming room benefits from underfloor heating to keep all toes and paws toasty on chilly mornings and evenings. The lounge area offers views across the estuary through a large picture window, while a stylish L-shaped sofa stands ready to host movie nights in front of the Smart TV. On warm days, throw open the balcony’s French doors to let the fresh sea air flow in through the house. When stomachs start to rumble, the spacious and well-equipped kitchen offers everything needed to whip up a seaside feast, which can be enjoyed at the wooden dining table with its fantastic views over the water. When day turns to night, head downstairs to find two king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, both with delightful views, and served by the well-appointed family bathroom, a twin room and a bunk bedroom.
Stepping outside, there is a private and enclosed, decked patio leading to a separate lawn area with a picnic bench and BBQ – the perfect spot for an al fresco evening meal together. Accessed from the upstairs living space, a sprawling balcony boasts breathtaking sea views where you can sit for a quiet morning coffee to watch life bob along. After sandy adventures nearby, benefit from the outdoor tap and hose to wash off sandy feet and paws.
