Property code: PILOT

This modern property is located just one mile from the attractive fishing village of Appledore, which is famed for its shipbuilding heritage. In summer, it is possible to take the ferry across the estuary to the village of Instow, with its sandy beach and yacht club. Beach lovers will enjoy a visit to Westward Ho! with its two-mile stretch of golden sands, perfect for swimming, surfing or just relaxing and building sandcastles. To one end of the beach, there is access to Northam Burrows Country Park, a mix of saltmarsh, sand dunes and grassland which is home to horses and sheep and makes a wonderful place for enjoying quiet walks.

Guests enter the property via intermittent steps, which lead to the accommodation. The property is an elevated bungalow, so all of the rooms are conveniently on one level. The lounge is a light-filled space, thanks to the doors which open out onto the property’s well-sized patioed veranda. There is comfortable seating here, as well as a TV and DVD. The property’s kitchen is equally spacious, has a contemporary feel and is well-equipped with an oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as a good-sized dining table. The king-size master bedroom has views out across the neighbouring fields, whilst the second bedroom is a comfortable twin room. The bathroom has a WC and benefits from both a bath and separate shower cubicle.

Outside the property, there is a good-sized enclosed patio, which is accessed via the lounge and enjoys far-reaching views across the countryside to the sea. It is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or the sunset in the evenings.

As others have commented on the website, the photos on the rental listing don't do justice to how lovely the property and it's grounds are. Appledore is in short walking distance and is a great base to explore North Devon to it's fullest. Highly recommended.

Excellent location and bungalow perfect for peace(except when sheep are moved to the adjoining field)! And stunning views. All needs catered for, fabulous hosts, and easy access to town and bus service. Really enjoyed our stay.

Weve stayed in 5 other places in the area and this is the best. Pilots View is a very spacious, light and airy, well-located property with fabulous views. Its up about 12 steps but all on one floor. Its very clean, well equipped and comfortable with good outdoor space.

We had a fantastic time at Pilot's View. The location is stunning and the house is very comfortable, well-appointed and just beautiful. It is in a quiet area with some lovely local walks nearby and very close to Appledore itself which has some interesting shops and eateries. We visited several places during our trip as the house is ideally situatedRead more for day trips around North Devon but we were more than happy to also spend time sitting admiring the view from the patio and the lovely garden.

We really couldn't fault this holiday at all. The property was even better than it looked in the pictures and the view was fabulous. It has the peace and quiet that comes with being a little out of town, but it's also a good central location for everything in the area (we would highly recommend the gardens at RHS Rosemoor and the village of ClovellRead morey) The hosts are friendly and welcoming and we could not have asked for a better holiday. Many thanks. Hide
