A lovely cottage right on the water's edge in the heart of Appledore with wonderful views across the estuary from indoors as well as from the two terraces. Spacious, comfortable and extremely clean accommodation. The shops, cafes and pubs all within a short walk. Will certainly return.

This is an old cottage which has been renovated to a great mixture of old and new. It was perfect for 5 of us with plentiful bathrooms and all the equipment we needed.

A fantastic location and a very comfortable cottage. We really enjoyed the views from the terrace and waking up to sea view. Appledore was a lovely place with plenty of places to eat out and an excellent deli. We would absolutely recommend it as a place to stay.

This is a wonderful location and we spent lots of time on the upper balcony watching life on the estuary including one wonderful evening following seals as they swam beneath the surface of the incoming tide. I would recommend the cheese and onion pastes from John's deli, they were fabulous!
