This pretty terraced cottage is perfectly located in the peaceful village of Appledore. Meander through the colourful streets to the harbour, where you can enjoy a classic fish and chips with your waggy-tailed ones by your side. While the views over the river are spectacular, there is lots to see within the village, known for its art galleries and cute cafes. Take the whole family out, including your four-pawed friends, to one of Appledore’s dog-friendly pubs where you can all enjoy a meal together.

In the charming cottage, you can make delicious meals of your own in the contemporary kitchen/diner which even boasts its own wood burner, perfect for your hound to rest by while you eat. The cottage is beautifully decorated, with both contemporary touches and a traditional cottage style so you can feel at home straight away. The spacious lounge is fitted with a wood burner effect gas fire that beckons you to relax into the comfy sofas with your canine at your feet, perhaps watching your family’s favourite film. Two bright and airy bedrooms sleep four people, with plenty of space for two four-legged friends. The enclosed courtyard garden at the back of the property is ideal for a quiet breakfast outside.

Appledore is well connected to other great places in North Devon, such as Westward Ho! beach, which is just 3 miles away. 13 miles away find the curiously fascinating cobbled streets of Clovelly which are filled with history and things to do for everyone. For a day filled with fun and excitement, why not go to the Milky Way? This theme park, just 11 miles, is great for kids and adults alike, and even your canine companions can join in on the adventure here!

First visit and loved Barbers Cottage and Appledore. Touring the West Country and was going to use it as a base to explore North Devon. But never got out of Appledore and Instow. Great cottage, brilliantly situated, well equipped, spotlessly clean. Great pubs in the village and walks from it. Happy days.

Absolutely fabulous cottage - really cosy and with everything you need. We loved the decor. Location is perfect - we were able to walk so much from our front door.
