  A lovely comfortable cottage, excellent accomodation, extremely well equipped and felt like a home not holiday accomodation. Wifi very good and very nice seating area out front for sunsets or just a cuppa and, dog friendly. The village is a typical rural village narrow roads and not much parking but you can park near the cottage which is down a very narrow lane so need to carry bags from car to cottage and up some steps but worth the effort when you get there. Look for the Chestnut Cottage sign on the wall of the house on the main road, facing the war memorial, then walk down and around the corner to the left, into the narrow lane and to the end. Fantastic pub in village with welcoming landlord and locals. Great walks to Instow across a field and then on coastal path, 20 mins max and fairly flat. short dog walks up by the church in the fields at the back of the cottage for a quick bit of exercise. So much more ot see and access but a great base to do so.

  The unspoilt waterside location and the panoramic view from the lounge bay window over the beach & estuary really makes this property for us and and we'd happily come back another time. We really enjoyed watching the ebb & flow of the tides, changing light, birdlife and passing boat traffic, Besides that, the furniture & kitchen equipment was excellent and very well laid out, all easily accessible. We found Appledore refreshingly natural and uncommercialised, characterful with its narrow streets and pretty cottages. If the weather had been warmer (it was winter!) we'd also have enjoyed cycling and watersports (windsurfing, canoeing, swimming).

  We had a beautiful stay at Blackbird Cottage.

  Vinti was lovely, she made sure we had everything we needed and left a fabulous hamper of goodies for our arrival. The cottage is like something out of a novel - it has amazing character and is filled with books and interesting nooks and crannies. In between showers I spent some time sitting in the hammock in the garden sketching the cottage and it was a lovely way to pass some time. Appledore is just up the road, a very pretty town with some cute little shops and galleries. Johns deli/cafe has unbelievable pasties, brownies and croissants. It's a good thing I was only visiting as I'd be the size of a house if I lived anywhere nearby!

  Really lovely, very new, property.

  It was very clean and all the furniture, fixtures and fittings were of a good standard. It was very quiet generally with the odd bit of traffic noise at peak time, not that we really noticed. The location is excellent and you can get to most if the main areas easily. We walked to Appledore a couple of times which took us approximately 10 minutes, noting it is a steep downhill into the village. It is well served with a couple of good pubs and eateries. We had some comms with Nikki the owner who was lovely and could not have been more helpful. We will certainly stay again when in Devon.

  Second time staying here and again enjoyed the stay.

  Well appointed modern house in a new estate at the edge of Appledore. Location is 2 mins by car into the heart of Appledore or 10 mins walk, downhill on the way in. Very comfortable furnishings with decent WiFi and pretty much everything else you will need as well as parking space for two cars. No washing machine however that was no problem as we were only there a week, there is a washing line if you do need to hand wash. A really nice change from the seemingly ubiquitous cottages with vintage furniture and fittings you get a lot of in the quaint villages in Devon/Cornwall.
