An inviting waterside cottage with sweeping estuary views and situated in a prime location within Appledore, this characterful abode is the perfect retreat for a family or group of friends and their waggy-tailed companion. Stroll the cobbled streets of Appledore which is peppered with independent galleries and eateries, before settling in for an al fresco afternoon tea with glistening ocean views on your rooftop terrace.

This cute-as-a-button upside-down property features a joyful nautical interior styled in soft pastel tones. Slide off shoes at the door then discover the three tranquil bedrooms located on the ground floor. Choose from an airy en-suite double, an adaptable king/twin, and a twin – each brimming with coastal charm. Upstairs you’ll find the open-plan kitchen/lounge where you can drink in the magnificent views across the estuary. Potter in the traditional panelled kitchen and whip up some post-adventure snacks or perch at the dining table with a fresh coffee and plan out the perfect North Devon itinerary. On lazy afternoons, why not curl up on the sofa with a sweet treat and admire the peaceful waterscape or settle in for the evening with a movie on the Smart TV? Early risers can embrace the salty ocean breeze as they sip their morning brew from the rooftop terrace overlooking the coast.

North Devon is the perfect destination for a family getaway where you can scope out the friendly local tea rooms of Appledore, within 200 metres, and indulge in a frothy coffee and cake, or hop aboard the summertime ferry to discover the delights of Instow, 1 mile, where you can enjoy sandcastle-building or explore one of the many eateries in the small village. Any adrenaline-seekers will delight in soaking up the easy-going water sports culture of Westward Ho!, 3 miles, with an authentic surf session.
