We spent a week at Pilots View - it is a lovely, comfortable, well equipped and spacious bungalow. The patio is a great place to relax, with views across to the estuary. Appledore is within walking distance, which has friendly restaurants, pubs and cafes. The owners Alan and Gwen were very friendly and helpful, and gave us good advice on the local Read morearea. Its a really good base to explore North Devon and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend this special holiday home - we look forward to returning ourselves! Hide
