  • Lovely grade II listed cottage built in 1744 with courtyard garden less than 40 steps to the waterside of the quay
  • Set in the heart of the fishing village of Appledore with the bustling quayside, quaint shops, restaurants and gastro pubs on your doorstep

Property code: 57804

This delightful cottage with accommodation over three floors is located in the pretty fishing village of Appledore, which still has a thriving community of fishermen, as is evidenced by the boats bobbing in the attractive village quay. The village itself makes a great place to take a break from the stresses of everyday life, with its interesting shops and tempting eateries all within strolling distance of the property. The village quay, too, is just a short walk away and in the summer months a ferry runs across the estuary to the neighbouring village of Instow where visitors will find a yacht club and beach. Just two miles from the property, Westward Ho! Boasts a beautiful sandy beach. 

On entering the cottage, the lounge has a lovely relaxing atmosphere and offers a wood burner, Smart TV (Netflix account available) and DVD, which can all be enjoyed from the comfortable seating. The neighbouring room, the kitchen/diner, has slate flooring, a dining table and is equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and coffee machine. There is a useful ground floor shower room with shower and WC. Small boot area and door to the rear courtyard lead off the kitchen. Steep cottage style stairs lead to the first-floor where there are two bedrooms. The first of these is a pretty double, whilst the second is a twin. There is also a bathroom with shower over bath and WC on this floor. Along the landing and up another steep staircase is a spacious king-size bedroom with TV and exposed stonework.

Outside there is a small courtyard. As is typical in the village, there is no parking attached to the property, but there is roadside parking available close by, or guests may prefer to use local public car parks (local charges apply).

Love Appledore and enjoyed our weekend at Sea Lavender cottage. It was just right for 4 adults and 2 small dogs with a cosy lounge, kitchen/dining room, shower and toilet on the ground floor. On the first floor, a small double room, a twin bed room and a bathroom, then another flight of stairs to a king bed room. From the kitchen, doors lead out toRead more a very small courtyard. We enjoyed our walks on the local beaches, the wood burner each evening, meals at the local pubs and fish n chips too! Hide

This is a lovely cottage, and was very well equipped. We stayed over Christmas and were very impressed by the decorations, and also by the provisions for our dog. The cottage is well located in Appledore, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing and cosy week away.

The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival, kitchen is well equipped, everything was working. Small outside space which is accurately stated in the description. Central to all of Appledores amenities, but quiet at night although the seagulls get up early. Plenty to do in the local area, our favourite pubs were the sea gate and the champ both withiRead moren a stones throw from the cottage. Would recommend the blues night in The Champ, a great atmosphere packed out with locals and holiday makers. Hide

We had a lovely stay in Sea Lavender Cottage. It was extremely well equipped and location was good. Even though it didnt have its own parking it was never a problem for us to find a space on the quay. Luckily stair gates were provided as the stairs are very steep and we took a one year old and a two year old!
