Overview
Property code: 63084

This lovely, contemporary cottage in the heart of pretty Appledore is ideally located for waggy-tailed walks along the beach in this beautiful part of Devon. It’s the perfect seaside escape for up to four people and up to two of your canine companions. This charming terrace cottage has been stylishly designed with fresh, bright colour schemes and nautical touches throughout – a nod to Appledore’s shipbuilding heritage. The owners very thoughtfully offer a welcome pack, with treats for humans and a dog bed and towels for your four-legged companions.

The cosy lounge is bright and welcoming and a lovely room for relaxing in the evenings with your furry friends after a day at the beach. The spacious, well-equipped kitchen leads into a charming dining room that has patio doors opening into an enclosed courtyard, where your precious pooches can safely enjoy the air while you relax with a drink.

Pretty Appledore is ideal for dog owners. With acres of open space on Northam Burrows Country Park and the sweeping stretch of sand just beyond, there are plenty of opportunities for walking with your four-legged friends. Appledore itself is a picturesque little town, with pretty cobbled streets, pubs and restaurants to explore. Further afield, head towards Bideford (3.5 miles) with a picnic and enjoy a scenic walk along the river Torridge, which forms part of the famous Tarka Trail, named after the famous otter.

Comfortable cottage with good kitchen equipment. The cottage is up a steep hill but you can walk up either Bude Street or Vernons Lane for an easier walk.

Our second visit to this cottage and enjoyed our stay. There is plenty of room for a party of 4 and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. A sunny back yard with views of the estuary. Centrally located which is ideal but does have a steep street to climb and steep stairs inside.

Lovely cottage, comfortable, clean, quiet, excellent location, Appledore is a stunning place, good pubs, good food places, excellent ferry across the water, nice walking options to Westward Ho!, regular bus service.

Lovely property. Very clean, centrally located within Appledore - parking not a problem as there is a local car park at the bottom of the road - we bought a 7 day parking ticket for 30 or you can pay 10 per day.

We stayed here 2 years ago so got exactly what we expected. An excellent base to stay with our 2 elderly Jack Russell's. My only comment on location is that the cottage is at the top of a veriy steep hill which maybe it would be helpful to stress in marketing material. I imagine some might struggle to walk up from the quayside.

Beautiful cottage. Spotlessly clean. The only negative would be the garden. If you love to sit outside this isn't the cottage for you. If you struggle walking and climbing steep stairs (definitely a climb) this isn't for you. Luckily this wasn't a problem for us. I think if the garden was designed it would be an amazing stay. We still had a lovely Read morebreak and would definitely go back (if they invested some money in the garden). Hide
