  • Lovely grade II listed cottage built in 1744 with courtyard garden less than 40 steps to the waterside of the quay
  • Set in the heart of the fishing village of Appledore with the bustling quayside, quaint shops, restaurants and gastro pubs on your doorstep
  • The perfect base for exploring all North Devon has to offer, why not venture the South West Coastal Path? or take a short drive, healthy dog walk or seasonal ferry to the golden sands of Instow beach? Or enjoy crabbing from the quay with a ice cream?
Property code: OC-57804

This delightful cottage has plenty of stomping ground for six break seekers and two doggy companions over its three prettily-decorated, lavender-accented floors. Located in the picturesque fishing village of Appledore, which still has a thriving community of fishermen, be entranced by the boats bobbing in the village quay when you’re not relaxing in the attractive stone wall features of this cosy bolthole, or exploring further afield with your canine companions.

Enter the quaintly nautical door to the lounge, finding a lovely relaxing atmosphere and an inviting wood burner. Laze on the cosy sofas after a day’s adventuring, or stay comfortable by the smart TV on a rainy day. Dine in style over the cool slate flooring of the kitchen/diner, or rise and shine with the convenient coffee machine. Make pup’s play of mucky feet with a convenient ground floor shower room and WC and a boot area by the back door. Steep cottage-style stairs lead to two pretty bedrooms, a double and a twin, and a modern bathroom with shower. Up more steep steps, be welcomed to a spacious king-size bedroom with beautifully exposed stonework. Outside a compact, stone-walled courtyard welcomes you to colourful seating for dining alfresco or enjoying the sea air with drinks, while four-legged family can safely grab a spot of fresh air nearby.

The village will pique your interest with its unique shops and tempting eateries all within strolling distance of the property. The village quay, too, is just a short 100m walk away and in the summer months, a ferry runs across the estuary to the neighbouring village of Instow (lucky canines sail for free) where visitors will find a yacht club and beach. Just 2 miles from the property, Westward Ho! boasts a beautiful sandy beach.

Quaint cottage situated very close to the quay. Always able to find parking on the street. Kitchen very well stocked with all that you need. Comfy beds and crisp clean bedding. The attic bedroom is lovely, so cosy and quiet.

Brilliant location, so close to the quay, pubs, chippies etc. I imagine that parking would be tricky in high season, but it was fine for us. Lots of places to visit and walks. Very relaxing and fab location. Lovely log burner and comfy sofas!

The property was very comfortable BUT we were not happy to have to pay a "non returnable" fee for breakages! This was not made obvious in the booking process until the end of the booking and as 2 mature adults, it is highly unlikey that we would cause damages, this deposit should be returned NOT retained by the management company!

It's a lovely ckean well equipped cottage in the heart of the beautiful village of appledore. There are a few pubs and restaurants to eat and drink in. There is a shop to get essentials if required or supermarkets a very short drive away (10 mins). We found parking on the road but the car park is very reasonable if you prefer.

We revisited Appledore as we enjoyed it so much last time we came (10 years ago) The property itself is clean and very comfortable , the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The front room is cosy and has a lovely log fire not that we used it we were bless with lovely weather. The court yard is the only down side as it is very very smaRead morell, not ideal if you want to chill with a glass of wine in the evening that said the sea front is on your door step so not a total deal breaker.
