A lovely, well maintained and well equipped cottage. Excellent location. A very good set of local shops (deli, bakery, arts, etc.). Thoroughly recommended.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.

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!

Pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your review.
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
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.
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.
Lovely clean and well equipped property. Location was perfect.
Loved the seats by the bedroom windows with fantastic views over the estuary. Also a comfy bed too.
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.
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!
The location of the property is fantastic, its got everything local you need and the town is one of the prettiest around, this is one of the reasons we return again to Appledore. Derek was helpful and an outstanding host, the property is beautiful and well equipped, the feel of the home is great amd the whole family loved it, thank you again.
