This was our first family holiday taking the dog with us - it was truly wonderful from start to finish!! The cottage is amazing, it felt so home like and plenty of room for us all. Our children loved it and want to return very soon. Appledore was beautiful, we throughly enjoyed looking round and long beach walks. ...

A wonderful and welcoming cottage in a picturesque seaside village. Complete with all the modern conveniences (coffee maker, streaming services, dishwasher) and a short walk from the river and amenities in the village. The cottage is well-maintained and clean on arrival, with good-sized rooms and kitchen. It’s located in a quiet courtyard but very near to two pubs. We loved staying there! ...

It is a lovely cottage central to everything in beautiful Appledore and all it dog friendly restaurants and pubs and shops. It was great being 1 minute from seeing the river in the morning. We got a parking permit for the car park at the back of the cottage and always got a space. The stairs are very very steep. I only given 4 stars because of the stairs....
