Property code: OC-TIDAL

Commanding the most stunning far-reaching views over the Taw and Torridge Estuary to the pretty village of Instow, stretching along the coastline to Saunton and beyond, this fabulous holiday home really does have the wow factor. Exceptionally spacious and contemporary in style, this coastal property is light, bright and welcoming throughout.

As you enter, you’ll see that huge dual-aspect picture windows capture the views from every angle both in the kitchen and spacious living/dining room where French doors lead out onto a ramp to the paved patio and beautifully kept gardens. With four bedrooms, the flexibility of sleeping arrangements is a great bonus and with level access to the property, throughout the ground floor, and a double room with an en-suite low-level shower unit, this cottage is suitable for most guests types. Three bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a lovely family bathroom are on the ground floor and a second double with an en-suite and a bath is on the lower ground floor, with its own access to the enclosed garden. For storage of surfboards, bikes or beach equipment, ample space is provided in the garage.

A steep downhill stroll brings you to the picturesque quay and quaint village streets of Appledore, where pretty pastel colour fishermen's cottages line cobbled streets. For a small village, Appledore has plenty of restaurants and pubs, some of which have regular live music. The wide sandy beach of Westward Ho! (2.5 miles) is just a short drive away, perfect for families with small children or equally popular with avid surfers. The aforementioned Instow is just 5.5 miles away by car or, in the summer, you can hop on a passenger ferry from Appledore Quay. Instow has a range of pubs and restaurants, a shop/deli and a sandy beach, some of which is backed by dunes.

I was very disappointed with the level of cleanliness particularly the badly stained mattress cover in the master bedroom. It is very off putting. The general condition of the property is very poor i.e. the cooker grill was not usable as the control knob was broken. The bedside lamp was tapped with electrical tape which was hanging off. The shower Read morehead in the disabled shower was covered in thick black mould. It is a great shame to see the sorry state of this property given that it is in a nice location. I would not stay here again. Hide

A lovely property with amazing views and in a great location for exploring North Devon. Plenty of pubs to choose from, all seem to be dog friendly too as were the beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

The views are amazing and the cottage is lovely. Our only problems was with the toilet being too low in the disabled shower room and it was hard to get in the patio doors with a wheelchair due to the threshold height, especially as it leads off a wheelchair ramp.

We have been staying at Tidal View every summer for 4 years and have booked again for next summer. The location is perfect with amazing vistas of the estuary and the village, we never tire of the views. The beds are comfy and main bathroom all the family enjoys using. There is parking for two cars off street which is great too.

This the most amazing bungalow and perfect for multi generational families. I have been with 2 such groups and both have already booked next year's stays. Stunning views and it's so quiet at night you can hear the Oyster catchers in the estuary.

The cottage was perfect for our family group. The views from the windows are breathtaking. There is a steep hill to the village but most of our group managed it. Appledore is such a beautiful place

Excellent property that is very clean. Plenty of space for everyone with beautiful views across to Instow and down into Appledore. Well kitted out kitchen with a good size fridge freezer and range cooker. Very steep walk down to the village centre. This is no problem for anyone with good mobility, but would be extremely challenging for pushchaRead moreirs or the infirm. The bungalow itself is well arranged for anyone with mobility issues just be aware you will need to use the car when leaving the property. The garden is divided into two parts allowing you to keep dogs and young children safe or separate. Appledore is a short walk away and has some excellent places to eat and watch the world go by. Absolutely loved the bungalow, Appledore and Instow. Hide
