YARDARM

About this property

appledore yardarm overview

The picturesque fishing village of Appledore is the ideal location for exploring the North Devon coast. Book a fishing trip, Visit Lundy Island, go crabbing from the house itself (it’s that close!). Alternatively take a ferry to Instow, catch frequent buses to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe or take a leisurely stroll exploring the maze of narrow streets and enjoy browsing through the art galleries and craft shops. Appledore yardarm is a large house on three levels with frontage directly onto the estuary and has both a terrace and a balcony with an unparalleled vista overlooking the water across to Instow. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and inclusive WiFi internet access. For the more adventurous, 5 minutes away by car is Westward Ho! where there is surfing, kite surfing and body-boarding. The South West Coastal Path and the Tarka Trail cycle path are both easily accessible from the cottage. Appledore yardarm is perfect for a family seaside holiday and peaceful weekend getaways.
