Conveniently situated for the quay, local pubs and bus stop. Torridge Council sell weekly parking permits for both long stay car parks) and we had no problem unloading the car outside the cottage on arrival (if you do so be aware other cars, home deliveries etc cannot pass). The stairs are as described and not for the less agile.

The cottage is well supplied with all you would need. The enclosed garden was a godsend for our two dogs. There are steep steps to get into the main part of the garden. Parking in Odun Street car park was excellent. The very best fish and chips is at Sylvesters Meeting Street at the side of the Seafront hotel. Be aware there is only one supermarketRead more which is ridiculously expensive which is a shame if you want to support local businesses. Hide

The cottage was great for us. Garden is fine, no frills, but good to have a fairly secure place for our dog and nice to sit out in close to the house. Appledore has lots of pubs and cafes where we were welcomed. The independent shops are fun for a browse and purchase or two. The bus service to Bideford and Westward Ho! was regular and well appreciaRead moreted by us. We took the long stay car park option - nearby and 30 per week. The spiral staircase could be difficult for anyone with mobility concerns. Hide
