Lovely property in a great location just minutes from the sea. The property itself was well-maintained and homely, with some nice touches on arrival. There is no car parking attached to the property, but there is a paid car park five mins away and free roadside parking a little further - we we able to park every time except one. We loved AppledoRead morere itself - a really nice atmosphere and not too busy (given it was Easter weekend). Hide

Loved this cottage which was very comfortable (the gas fire was fabulous), good wifi connection throughout the property, comfy beds, clean throughout and all the utensils in the kitchen one could want. We did bring our own small espresso machine as we are particular about our coffee. Very good value for money.

Wave Crest is a really lovely cottage! It is clean comfortable, well equipped and tastefully presented. It appears to have been recently refurbished but retains some traditional features. The 2 bedrooms are both a decent size with comfy beds and en-suite bathrooms. Well located - 1 minute walk to a sea view, a couple of minutes walk to the nearest Read morepub, and about 10 minutes to the quay. This is our fifth trip to Appledore and our favourite cottage so far. Thank you! Hide

We loved our stay in this fabulous cottage. The location is great to discover Appledoor. On the history books trilogy at the cottage making investigating Apple door even more enjoyable. Parking was the easiest weve had in Apple door with just being 100 yards away.
