Property code: OC-90438

A luxurious holiday home boasting spectacular panoramic views and situated on the edge of Appledore is ideal for groups of friends and families of ten humans and four dogs. Explore the coastline and visit the quaint towns and villages along the river before retreating to this stylish home and cosying up in front of the wood burner or getting competitive in the games room.

This charming home has plenty of space for relaxing or socialising. The lounge/kitchen/diner has far-reaching sea views and is a great area for cooking and eating together. Take some time out by heading through the hidden staircase from the lounge which leads to a quaint snug built into the eaves which has a Smart TV and further views. A handy utility area is great for storing all the dogs’ food and treats, while through another door is a games room complete with pool table and dart board. Three of the five bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, a king-size, double, and twin, while upstairs are the final two bedrooms, a super-king-size and king-size. Outside is a beautifully designed garden with patio and decked area. Get stuck into a good book or dine alfresco while the dogs frolic on the lawn.

Appledore is a bustling fishing village set on the banks of the River Torridge. Home to chocolate-box buildings lining the streets, you can spend days exploring independent shops and pubs. Lead the way to adventure along the South West Coast Path, which winds along the coastline and passes a range of landscapes and superb views. Hop on the foot ferry which takes you to the dog-friendly sandy shores of Instow Beach where you can build sandcastles as the dogs feel the breeze through their fur.

We had a fantastic stay at this property in North Devon. The coastal views are absolutely superb, especially watching the sunset from the snug each evening truly stunning and one of the highlights of the trip. The house itself is very spacious with large rooms throughout, making it ideal for a large family get together. There was plenty of spacRead moree for everyone to relax comfortably without feeling crowded. The garden and decking area were also a great size and perfect for spending time together outdoors and enjoying the scenery. The location is excellent for exploring North Devon and all the surrounding coastal areas. Overall, a wonderful property for a family holiday. Hide

A really well appointed property perfect for the three generations of us and a dog to celebrate our 65th birthdays. Beautiful upstairs lounge perfect to view the fantastic sunsets over Lundy island.
