An elegant three-storey property, finished in a classic yet contemporary style, with a second floor lounge offering views to the Torridge estuary beyond. All that the pretty village of Appledore has to offer is available almost right on the doorstep, including dog-friendly pubs, quayside walks, and an array of shops.

Spread over three floors, this cottage offers plenty of space for you and your fellow guests, including your beloved dog, to stretch out and relax. The entire ground floor is occupied by the spacious kitchen/diner which is the natural heart of the property and offers access out to the patio at the rear of the property. Two bedrooms have been tastefully furnished in an understated fashion. The master bedroom is located on the first floor and offers an en-suite shower room, whilst the main bathroom offers a sumptuous spa bath. The lounge on the second floor, next to the second bedroom, is a simply gorgeous room and is the perfect place to start and end your day, enjoying the quayside views from the comfortable sofas.

Appledore is a delightful village located on the Torridge Estuary on Devon’s picturesque north coast. Walking 2 miles west of the village, brings you through Northam Burrows Country Park, across the dunes and to the expansive Westward Ho! beach. Parts of this beach are open to dogs throughout the year with some restrictions during the summer months. Continue your work further around the coast by following the South West Coast Path around towards the privately-owned traffic-free village of Clovelly (14 miles). Staying closer to home, Appledore itself is a delightful place to spend a day wandering the shops and from which to hop on the passenger ferry across the river to neighbouring Instow.

The cottage is in a prime location, couldn't fault the views, it's over 3 floors but a great cottage, once you are used to having the kitchen on the bottom floor and the sitting room on the third floor. Very nice touch having the fridge on the third floor as well, toilet on every floor, bedrooms on second floor, ensuite on front, lovely room, veryRead more well equipped, great views, can't comment on 2nd bedroom but it's a double and again a lovely room, has the back view. Kitchen well equipped, everything you need. Looks like new carpets throughout, lovely underfoot, decor looked recently painted. Overall a very nice cottage overlooking Appledore estuary. Walking distance to lots of quirky shops and we counted 5 pubs, fish and chips, ice cream, lots of cafs. Parking outside if you get a space but the carpark is literally a 3 minute walk. Thank you Missioners Cottage, we will definitely be back. Hide

An ideal place to stay for local facilities and great views. Lovely new carpets throughout made it feel homely. A nice well equipped kitchen and loved the island hob. You need to be fairly fit with no mobility issues because stairs are a major feature of the cottage. It is a nice base to explore Appledore from.

Great views of the quayside and Instow from the living room and bedroom. Great location on the quayside, perfect for everything. Parking outside the property is difficult but the car park is a short 1 minute walk away. You can park there for a week for 30.

The location of this cottage is ideal. Comfortable & well equipped. 3 toilets is a bonus, one on each floor; note that the middle floor with the 2 bedrooms only has the en-suite. Large kitchen on ground floor, but there is also a small kitchenette area on the top floor within the lounge. Stunning views over the estuary & close to local cafes & pubsRead more etc. Ive visited Appledore for over 40 years now & it just gets better Hide

A beautiful place to stay, in a fabulous location. Everything we needed was at the cottage. The views from the living room are amazing and so much activity on the estuary. Good little garden area for the dog. Close to the shops, pubs and bus stop. Couldn't have stayed in a better place. Would definitely come again.
