Prospect House was a fantastic property and the locations was perfect. The house itself is set over a number of floors but the house was very well decorated and equipped with everything you would need for a family stay.

Excellent property and facilities in a delightful village centre location. Plus Westward Ho, for example, only nine minutes drive away. One tip, make sure you display your car park ticket scrupulously - the council take no prisoners!!

This is a lovely house in a great location in Appledore. The rooms are spacious. We arrived as a family of 8 to celebrate my 70th birthday and it was ideal. After the weekend it was just my husband and I. The building is very old and characterful but it has been renovated in a modern functional way retaining the character.

The house is opposite Pitt Hill and our sat nav took us further up the hill. The car park on Odun Rd is very handy once you've unloaded. Once inside the house we were very impressed with the layout and the beautiful decor and paintings. The kitchen is very well equipped. Having two lounges meant we could spread out happily.
