Tucked away in a charming narrow street within a short stroll of the bustling quay, this cottage is a delightful home in Appledore. Decked with flowers in high summer, this coastal village is a great place for a family to visit with cafes and restaurants galore, as well as crabbing opportunities. When you’re done for the day, head back to the warmth of the wood burner.

Enter the cottage straight into the bright and welcoming living room which features an impressive stone fireplace with wood burner, ideal for cosy evenings at any time of the year. Snuggle up here and watch your favourites shows or a DVD on the TV. Head up one step into the separate dining room which also features an attractive brick and stone fireplace, and then up one more step to the kitchen which has a Butler sink that adds to the character. Upstairs are three inviting bedrooms, the double having an iron bedstead and one of the single rooms having a pull-out bed, ideal for flexible sleeping arrangements. All are served by a separate modern bathroom. Step out from the kitchen into the cosy courtyard which has garden furniture and a BBQ for dinners alfresco.

Why not stroll down to the quay for a scenic boat trip or trying your hand at crabbing or fishing from the water's edge? Just across the river, the popular village of Instow, with its safe sandy beach and array of yachts and sailing craft is well worth a visit. It’s 6 miles in the car or in the summer, you can hop on the foot ferry and be there in no time at all. If you want to grab some fabulous surfing waves, Westward Ho! is just 2.5 miles away.

Lovely clean cottage, in a great location. We appreciated the small touches like a tea set and biscuits laid out for us on arrival, and some wood ready-split to be burned in the wood burning stove etc. The shower has good water pressure and the beds are comfortable- the heating works well and the place gets cozy quickly on a chilly day if needed. TRead morehe freezer compartment in the fridge didnt really seem to work (everything melted or went soggy) so just bear that in mind if youre stocking up on ice cream or ice before you check in! Overall a really lovely stay, and Appledore is a beautiful place to relax and take in the sea views. Hide

The cottage was lovely, set in a quiet tiny street and very easy to drop down to quay etc. Johns the deli, cafe and food store a great resource around the corner. The fresh fish shop nearby also brilliant! Great base to explore some beautiful North Devon places which was lovely. This time it included Hartland Abbey, with its lovely walk down toRead more a remote cove, Putsborough Beach (alongside Woolacombe) and the gorgeous gardens of a Marwood Hill with its ponds and natural gardening style.

Lovely cosy cottage in the heart of Appledore. Well equipped. As 4 adults and a dog was a little small (particularly the sofas!) great location.

The cottage is in a good location and Appledore is lovely with nice places to eat and drink. We spent a lot of time on the beach at Westward Ho! which is amazing. The dog had the best time.

The property was just as described on the website, very comfortable and extremely clean. The information provided beforehand and regular reminders of arrival and departure information were helpful and well received. We would certainly book again and recommend Marsdens Devon Cottages to friends and family.
