About this property

Appledore 0.3 miles. This lovely cottage is situated on the outskirts of the fishing village of Appledore in Devon. The cottage is full of character, and with its original sash windows and old wooden beamed ceilings you feel you are stepping back in time as you arrive. Located up a tiny, quiet lane off one of the old narrow village streets in Appledore, it is ideally situated for friends and family wishing to tour the North Devon coast. There is an open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area with electric fire. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor, and up the open wooden staircase to the first floor is where you will find the two individual, well-furnished comfortable bedrooms. Outside the cottage is a delightful private courtyard where you can sit in peace with a drink or two and reflect on the day. With its maze of quaint narrow streets full of old fishermen's cottages, Appledore has something for everybody, with a great range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Less than a minute from the cottage and you are right on the beach and next to an excellent children's playground, making it the perfect place for the family to spend the day. This cottage is such an ideal peaceful base to explore North Devon’s surf beaches and ancient market towns, and is the perfect spot for a well-earned break at any time of year.

Where the Taw and Torridge rivers meet, sits the delightful quayside village of Appledore, next to the River Torridge. Appledore boasts a small but great range of shops, pubs, guesthouses and art galleries. A thriving fishing and trading village since the 14th century, Appledore has been a famous boat-building centre for many years and the shipyard is still active today. Picturesque Appledore provides a peaceful base from which to explore North Devon, and is close to surf beaches.The Quay is very central to life in the village and it is here you will find many activities including fishing trips, crabbing contests on the quay, and sometimes Morris Dancers. This quaint fishing village has a maze of narrow streets leading to the quay.

    Mould in the bathroom, Paint peeling off the wall, Loose wires, Cobwebs, Rotten window sills, rusty plug holes, Toilet light didn't work and the toilet roll holder came away off the wall in our a hands. All minor things wrong but so many of them. It is as if the owner doesn't really care.

  • Jackie

    We arrived late on the Friday, had No hot water for entire weekend due to boiler issue, spoke with Neil the owner we tried to get it going with no success, heard nothing. Find this hard to believe if property was cleaned & serviced prior to our arrival with necessary checks. We’ve had no follow email from owners, or even a gesture of any reimbursement.

  • Debbie

    Great walk over to Westwood ho, fantastic beach.
