The Gables is a great base for exploring the local area. Flat 4 does need some updating as both the decor, furniture and fittings are looking tired, however the bathroom has clearly recently been renovated and is nice and modern. On site parking is a bonus in Appledore, however there are 3 spaces available for 4 Flats. Appledore is beautifully quieRead moret and the views from the master bedroom are lovely. The location sells this property, ideal for a "no frills" base just somewhere to eat and sleep. Hide

This was our second visit to Appledore - staying in the same apartment. Lovely views of the estuary and over to Instow beach from the main bedroom. This property is situated at the top of a hill but has the added bonus of ease of parking.

The apartment is big enough for four adults to comfortably stay. We were all very impressed with the bathroom shower ( waterfall and power showers)and plenty of hot water. The bedrooms and living rooms all have wonderful views over Appledore which made opening the curtains each morning a pleasure. The kitchen had everything we needed too. Off streeRead moret car parking is a big bonus. The Gables is at the top of Meeting Street which is a steep walk, but there is a more gentler route down via Bude St. Hide
