Comfortable, quiet and well-equipped house in a very central location. All facilities worked perfectly, and communication with the owner was excellent. Be aware that the terrace garden is concrete with a high step all the way around so parents of young children will need to be careful.

We had a wonderful week in Appledore. Captain's Rest was perfect. It was wonderfully clean and carefully presented. The beds were comfortable. I don't think I have ever stayed in a cottage so well equipped. The kitchen had everything you could need. The garden was a quiet sun trap. The local restaurants were fantastic.

Lovely characterful cottage with plenty of space for our family group plus dogs. Beds comfy, plenty of hot water and kitchen well equipped. Lovely courtyard to sit out in. Central to all the facilities in Appledore so little need to use the car. We were able to park in the road close to the cottage. Had a lovely fortnight here.
