Property code: 89953

This cosy fisherman's cottage is set on three floors in a great location with views across the sea. It’s just a short, 500-metre stroll into the bustling little village with its quaint cobbled streets and a plethora of independent craft shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The novelist Charles Kingsley described Appledore as that ‘that little white fishing village’. Enjoy a walk along the quayside, watching the boats bobbing in the water and children crabbing, or sit with a bag of fish and chips on one of the many benches overlooking the seaside village of Instow. In the summer months, you can take the little pedestrian ferry across to Instow and spend the day on the golden sands. If you feel the need to leave the village, the whole of the North Devon coast is easily accessible by car and the sandy beaches of Westward Ho! are just 2 miles away. RHS Rosemoor Gardens and the heritage village of Clovelly are also a must to explore and within a 13.5-mile radius.

 On entering the cottage, find yourself in the cosy lounge with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV to sit and enjoy relaxing with your family, watching a good movie or two. The cottage kitchen has everything you need to make a favourite dish. Completing this floor is the family bathroom. Taking the stairs to the first floor, find two bedrooms, one has a single bed and the other has a super-king zip-and-link bed (can be made into twins on request) with stunning views across the estuary. Also find a separate shower room on this floor. Up a steep staircase is the third bedroom which has 2 single beds.

From the back of the cottage, the enclosed private garden is accessed via steps and a gradual incline. Here you will find a terraced decked area with patio furniture, where you can sit, relax, dine alfresco and enjoy the beautiful estuary view or a spot of star gazing on a clear night.

  • 3 bedrooms - 1 super-king zip-and-link bed (can be made into twins on request), 1 single, 1 twin room

Well equipped comfortable cottage, only downside was the initial walk from the car to the accommodation with all the luggage etc. Very steep stairs to the bedroom on the second floor if you're using it, which we didn't need to. Everything you need for a great stay, would recommend.

Very cosy cottage, extremely well-equipped and very responsive owners, who were happy to help with any questions we had. Beautiful estuary/sea views from the bedrooms. Plenty of room for 5, even better than photos show.

Great cottage tucked away in the back streets of the village and only a short walk from all the amenities on offer. Lovely welcome package on arrival. Would highly recommend this cottage.

Cute little cottage with comfy beds, lots of little extras and very well thought out. Alexa's in every room, good internet, very clean and a Netflix login. only downside is its a bit of a trek from the car and the garden is a little weird but we loved our time there it was quiet and comfortable. We had quite cold weather so made use of the vast DVDRead more collection and many games left for us to use. overall would recommend to friends and as a hotelier was quite impressed! Hide
