Great place as always, we love the location, and the place is well equipped super clean and comfortable, it's perfect for a holiday with the family, thanks for the stay we really enjoyed our holiday.
A lovely, well maintained and well equipped cottage. Excellent location. A very good set of local shops (deli, bakery, arts, etc.). Thoroughly recommended.
Enjoyed a wonderful break in quaint Appledore. Absolutely adored the area. This property is in a super location. The listing describes it perfectly. Derek is a great host, quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely book again if ever back in the area.
Such a cute, clean and well equipped accommodation. Decorated very tastefully. Four adults had plenty of room and privacy. Outdoor WC was handy too! Location is great. Walkable distance to shops and pubs. Quick ferry ride across to Instow for a sandy beach day. Highly recommend for a nice getaway
Great cottage to stay in and such a pretty little town. Derek was very helpful, and we had everything we needed. The place was warm and comfortable and really weĺl furnished. Defintely recommend it.
What a lovely property. We so enjoyed our stay in this pretty cottage. Very cosy, comfortable rooms! Right on the quay with wonderful views across the estuary. Cafes and restaurant close by.
Absolutely loved staying at the cottage and in Appledore. Will definitely be looking to return as it was such an excellent accommodation, with everything we could need, and in such a lovely location.
We had a fantastic stay in Appledore. The property has amazing views from the master bedroom and is well stocked with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. Great location too.
This was our 2nd time visiting Appledore and we were very happy to stay at the same property. It’s a wonderful place to stay. Great location and everything we needed.
We love the area and really hope to be back soon. A truly wonderful holiday!
We couldn’t have asked for a better home for the week. Everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay is provided and the location and views are incredible. Would love to return in the future!
A very comfortable and well equipped home from home in a great location. Lovely to find a bottle chilling in the fridge and fresh pack of filter coffee among the supplies too. Excellent property and host.
The cottage is clean, comfortable, pleasant and welcoming. There's plenty to see and do in and around Appledore, and a good choice of places to eat. We've visited the area quite a few times over the years and this cottage has certainly been one of the best. We all really enjoyed our stay.
The stay was amazing, right on the quay so great views from the bedroom of the sunrise in the morning.
Communication with Derek was really good and house had all the require facilities for our 2 week stay.
This is a stunning house, very homely and very comfortable with incredible views. Lots of space with a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds and sofas. Its decorated to a very high and very thoughtful standard. Appledore and Instow are lovely places to stay with easy access to other local places of interest such as Clovelly and the Tarka Trail. We highly recommend this cottage and its location.
This cottage is just so fabulous , I can't think of anything that It didn't have. Appledore is a lovely village and I would definitely return and recommend ❤️
This was our 3rd visit to the same property. Despite saying we might stay somewhere else this year we were drawn back as it’s just so perfect!
The owner is very kind and responds very quickly to any issues.
We just love Appledore and already can’t wait to come back!
Book it! Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen essentials, cozy living spaces, romantic outdoor area, and ya cant beat the location. Right outside the door was the ferry to Instow, a lovely pizza place that did gluten free pizza, a deli and a small super market. We LOVED it! We only stayed 2 nights and we wished we had booked for longer! We would love to stay again. Thanks!
Amazing cottage on the harbour front, lovely little village with shops and restaurants. Cottage was clean and in a lovely location and the host was on hand if I needed anything. Can't praise this cottage enough!! Highly recommended.
Perfect cottage with amazing view in perfect location
The cottage is very cosy and comfortable. It is clean and well maintained. It was actually larger than we imagined it would be. It is located in a lovely small town and right on the quay with beautiful views across to Instow beach and the Devon countryside . Communication with Derek the host was first class and we were welcomed with some lovely gifts.We look forward to returning to this little gem again.
