This is such a beautiful, well equipped and comfortable cottage. We particularly liked the upside-down style of it with the benefit of fantastic views from the first floor when on the terrace. Great to have an outside terrace too as these are not always available in Appledore. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything we needed for a weeRead morek's stay. The seaside theme of decorations was lovely and relaxing. Everything had been thought of including lots of cupboard space. A lovely stay! Hide

The cottage was everything we wished for; fantastic views over the estuary, comfortable, incredibly well equipped. It might become a bit crowded with the six it is designed to accommodate - but hey, we were only two and so the place was perfect!

This is a fabulously located cottage with great views of the estuary from the rooftop terrace and all of the living accommodation and bedrooms. It is very well equipped and decorated, with lots of sea themed pictures and objects. We really enjoyed watching and hearing the tide come and go and the boats passing by. Appledore itself is charming with Read moreplenty of choice for eating and drinking. The only minor drawback is the limited storage. The host is very friendly and helpful. Hide
