Overview
Property code: 78958

Lovely property situated in the quaint fishing village of Appledore and within easy reach of local beaches.

For a family getaway to the coast, this beautifully finished property is an excellent option, boasting a range of private patio areas where your pups can soak up the sunshine. The views across the estuary are outstanding and can be enjoyed from indoors or outdoors. Less than 3 miles away is the blissful beach of Westward Ho!, offering a quintessential seaside experience and welcoming our four-legged friends to play on the sands all year around.

Light, bright and airy, the living room of this coastal property encourages you to take the weight off your feet and relax with views over the village. The wood burner effect electric fire is a welcome treat in the winter months, offering a perfect spot for Fido to curl up for a snooze whilst you watch the TV. Next door, the kitchen/diner has everything you might need to prepare a family feast, including a six-seater dining table for breakfast and board games. When you need peace and quiet, head to the quaint snug room where you can watch a film and warm yourself by the electric fire. All three bedrooms can be found on the first floor, each offering either garden or estuary views to enjoy. Bedroom one has a super-king size bed with plenty of space to store away your belongings, whilst the two further rooms include a double and a twin. At the back of the house is a spacious enclosed garden filled with pretty plants and a selection of seating options where you can sit and enjoy a meal alfresco or watch the sunset over the water. 50m from the property is a large open green area, perfect for walking your four legged friends.

Join a stretch of the South West Coast Path from Westward Ho! (3 miles) or Instow (5 miles) to experience the rugged beauty of this part of Devon, a trail that’s sure to set tails wagging. For canines who love adventure, head to Abbotsham Cliffs (5 miles) to wander between the pebbly shore and cliff-top pathways which offer panoramic views of the serene coastline. Alternatively, for a day spent soaking up the atmosphere on a beach, North Devon offers a selection of dog-friendly stretches, including Instow (5 miles), Saunton (18 miles) and Woolacombe (22 miles).

Very well equipped and comfortable house in an elevated position with great views over the estuary. A short walk down to the waterfront with local shops and eateries. Handy to have parking and a games room.

Fernlea is absolutely wonderful for couples and families alike. It is the most well equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in. It is spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed the ever changing view from the front and would have made use of the very attractive garden had the weather been fine. Proximity to shops, beaches, walks is excellent. We dRead moreidnt use any local restaurants as the house lent itself to cosy evenings with wine and cheese and much laughter. Very relaxing property. Hide

Clean & tidy property, well equipped, though we had to enquire about whereabouts of the ironing board and the clothes airer. Great views of the river from the living room and two of the three upstairs bedrooms! Watch out for steep stairs to the bedrooms, and the series of steps to the garage and parking space at the back garden. If steps are no proRead moreblem for you, enjoy the delightful views of the river. Convenient short walk to a playing field nearby, especially for your dog(s). Hide

Lovely cottage with the most amazing view. Easy reach to Appledore centre where there are some great places to eat and always something to watch. The walk to the centre is a short but steep walk down with an event steeper walk back! We enjoyed going to Westward Ho and taking our puppy on the beach at the Burrows/north end. We enjoyed great fish andRead more chips at the Seagate, lovely cream tea at the market street kitchen, and brilliant take out from the the flame factory. John's is also worth going to Hide

Lovely cottage, wonderfully equipped and comfortable. View, especially from Sitting Room, is awesome. Beware, it is as steep as described, but we managed to walk to and from village Ok. Rear steps in garden are a bit worrying for older people with no hand rail. Also no hand holds in either shower. Directions are great until last bit where parking wRead moreas not labelled from back lane, but hopefully that will get fixed. Summary: maybe not for the elderly, unfit, or unsteady but otherwise great. Hide

The location of the house was good for visiting the surrounding areas. It was well equipped and the views from the house and garden were lovely. The garden is on several different levels with seating area on all patios and was very pleasant. Had a great Sunday lunch in the Beaver in Appledore and a lovely meal in the Boathouse in Instow with great Read moreviews overlooking the estuary. The beach at Westward Ho was lovely however my favorite was Saunton Sands. Would definitely visit again Hide
