What our customers say about their holidays

  Most of our many holidays over more than 50 years have been in self-catering accommodation - both in the UK and abroad. I think that Cedars Lodge is probably the best equipped and most comfortable we have stayed at. Entrance is through the kitchen, which is spacious and with everything even the most demanding of cooks might need: cooker with infra red hob, dishwasher, microwave oven, stick blender etc etc. The stock of cutlery and crockery is very generous for a two-person accommodation. The end of the kitchen has an area containing a breakfast bar and the washing machine/dryer. Our two rescue dogs were very happy to be bedded down in this snug space. The kitchen has a door leading into a square area in the middle of the house, with a coat stand, cabinet and doors leading into the bedroom, bathroom and lounge. The spacious bathroom has a wet-room style shower and heated towel rail, plus the usual. The bedroom has a king-sized bed with a firm, comfortable mattress, and fitted cupboards, drawers and dressing tables. Each side of the bed has a small cabinet and bright bedside light. The lounge has a leather covered suite comprising a three seat and two seat settees, plus and armchair. The TV provides Sky, Netflix and Prime. The broadband WiFi worked well. A windowed door from the lounge leads to the dining/sun lounge area which faces South East, with views over the hillside beyond, so it gets a lot of sun in the morning and is a nice spot to have afternoon tea. There is a dining table with four chairs. The windows have blinds for use in case the sun gets too powerful. The sun lounge has a door leading onto the patio area, which has tables and chairs for al fresco dining and a fire pit style barbecue. The grassy area is a bit smaller than it might appear from the pictures of the property, but perfectly adequate for dogs to do what dogs need to do. Overall, the accommodation is to a very high standard. It is warm, comfortable, pleasing to the eye and surprisingly spacious for just two people. The friendly owners, live in the attached house and gave us a very warm welcome as well as much useful advice about the local area. There are a dozen or so beaches and country walks within half an hour's drive, great places to eat, supermarkets, pubs and tea rooms for traditional Devon cream teas with mega-scones (but don't forget: cream on first, then the jam!)

  We loved Little Puffins! Full of charm and character and ideally located in Appledore, it has been sympathetically renovated and is now very comfortable and well equipped. The owners had provided all the essentials for us when we arrived so we could settle straight in. They are easily contactable if you need help with anything but we didn't apart from a question about where to put the rubbish. The cottage is not easy to find initially, as the entrance to Ibex Court from Irsha Street is very small but once found, never forgotten! We parked in the Churchfields car park on The Quay, which was £30 for a week via RingGo. There is free parking along Torridge Road as an alternative. Recommend the nearby Beaver Inn for excellent food but you need to book if you have a dog so that you can eat in the bar.

  We were very sad when Saturday morning arrived and we had to leave Little Puffins! It is a beautiful little cottage, with everything you need for a perfect stay. Very clean and tastefully refurbished. With an amazing welcome pack! Appledore is a wonderful place to stay, and Little Puffins is right in the heart of the village. There are lots of places to explore, eat, drink and most importantly, people watch! There is also a really good bus service, so much so, that we parked the car on Saturday and left it there until the following Saturday. We brought our bikes with us and really enjoyed exploring the Tarka Trail. With lots of beautiful little tea rooms along the way. A return visit to Little Puffins is definitely on the cards, and if you haven’t been before, then just book it!

  Lovely quiet cottage, beautiful interior with quirky touches. The owners are generous & thoughtful hosts supplied all the basics household & personal things you need. The welcome treats were a lovely surprise and really appreciated them. A little tricky locating the alleyway leading to the cottage despite directions but locals friendly & helpful, we used the Quay car park. Appledore is a lovely quite relaxed coastal Village with a good mix of pubs and restaurants/cafes, there is a deli which you can buy fresh produce. We found three pubs (Beaver inn, The Royal. The Champ) have live music. We didn’t use the buses but noticed that they served the village well. RHS Rosemoor worth a visit, lots of places to visit and fab beaches. Wished we could have stayed longer.

  Perfect place for a relaxing break. The place was extremely well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, super clean, great secure garden for the dogs and beautifully decorated. We have two dogs so finding places that accept two of them, but which is also comfortable and allows us an enjoyable stay can sometimes be a little tricky (most places that accept two dogs tend to be a little more basic in their decor but we want a relaxing, comfy break too!), and this totally hit the mark. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone (with or without dogs) - it has ample space for two people and the owners are on hand if you need anything, but yet don't disturb you otherwise. THANK YOU for a super lovely week.
