  Don’t let the external approach put you off as the interior more than makes up for it. This is more of an appartment than a cottage, with the property accessed down a passageway and the main door leading into an utility area and downstairs shower room with stairs up to open plan kitchen/lounge/dinner, a small toilet room and two bedrooms. When we arrived the heating was full blast and it was very warm but we just turned it down and opened windows. I imagine however it could be very hot in hot weather. There is no outside space but you are on the doorstep of Appledore and the quay area so it wasn’t missed. The property has no views as such, and rather looks out onto neighbouring roofscapes but we didn’t find that a problem and in fact made it even more private. The property is extremely well kitted out with everything thought of. It is lovely, modern and clean with plenty of room for our family of four and dog. The location is great and we were lucky to get parking on the road outside most days. All in all a great property for a week’s holiday exploring what North Devon and Cornwall has to offer.

  Whilst the cottage was very contemporary and comfortable there two areas which let the property down, in our opinion.

  Firstly there was no information regarding any of the white goods or electrical goods, no information regarding the area e.g restaurants, places of interest and finally there was no information as to where we place the rubbish and recycling. Secondly the heating systems left a lot to be desired. On the Sunday morning we rose to a warm cottage, on every subsequent day the heating was off and appeared to be set at 13 degrees, which was totally unacceptable.The temperature in the cottage was approx.18 degrees still not warm enough on a very cold morning. Whilst we increased the temperature on the thermostat to 23 degrees it took a while to warm up and to shower in a cold bathroom in something I hate. It would seem that the timer must have been set for different times at the weekend to the rest of the week. As a result of the fluctuation in temperature we spent £20.00 on logs to keep warm. Having said all that I did enjoy the holiday but I do think the owners should rectify the heating problem especially for people booking during the cold winter days.

  The Crab Shell is an amazing property which the owners have kitted our extremely well.

  It has everything you could possibly need! I have been visiting Appledore for many years and this is the best property I’ve stayed in by far. The views are to die for regardless of the weather and the sunsets every evening that you could watch from the comfort of the living room are amazing. We were a large party, a mixture of adults, children, babies and dogs and not once did we feel crowded. There is plenty of space and great comfort at all times. And if you get lovely weather like we did, there is a beautiful little seating area out back which is an amazing sun trap. We enjoyed a couple of BBQ’s while having lazy afternoons which was a lovely end to a day! The owners really have thought of the guests with The Crab Shell. Beautiful house, with beautiful decor and beautiful views. I know I won’t be booking anywhere else when I return to Appledore! No where else lives up to it! Love love love the Crab Shell!!

  The cottage was amazing!

  - very modern, everything had been thought of and very clean. The views over the estuary out of the lounge and two bedroom windows are fantastic. We would definitely go back again. However, the cottage is situated at the end of a very narrow lane which during good weather and school holiday time is very busy and difficult to negotiate. Once you have managed to arrive to the cottage, the chances of parking are small! In the week we stayed, we were only able to park once outside the cottage. There is a pay & display car park within a 5 minute walk but that was often full. There were no problems parking in the larger car park a little further away. Parking charges were very reasonable. We had a great holiday, staying in a beautiful cottage in a lovely part of the country!

  Excellent property that is very clean. Plenty of space for everyone with beautiful views across to Instow and down into Appledore. Well kitted out kitchen with a good size fridge freezer and range cooker. Very steep walk down to the village centre. This is no problem for anyone with good mobility, but would be extremely challenging for pushchairs or the infirm. The bungalow itself is well arranged for anyone with mobility issues just be aware you will need to use the car when leaving the property. The garden is divided into two parts allowing you to keep dogs and young children safe or separate. Appledore is a short walk away and has some excellent places to eat and watch the world go by. Absolutely loved the bungalow, Appledore and Instow.
