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.
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!
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
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.
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 is a a clean, well presented, beautifully positioned and cosy cottage overlooking the estuary of the river.
Derek the Host could not have been more helpful.
I fully recommend this property.
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!
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.
We enjoyed our stay in the house in Appledore very much. Everything was clean and well provided. The view was nice and our children loved the possibility to make their first crabbing experience just opposite the house. We didn’t miss anything and would love to come again. Thank you for your generosity, Derek!
This is a super little cottage, right on the quay. There are restaurants and cafes literally on your doorstep. We ate out every night and had very very good food. We did quay jumping, crabbing and sea fishing. The sea ferry runs for a few hours most days ( tide dependent) across to lovely instow beach.
The view from the main bedroom Is spectacular and everything was extremely clean. The hosts was especially helpful when we had change of plans.
We arrived in Appledore and found the most enchanting place to stay, right on the quay side. Everyone in Appledore was friendly and just behind our property there was a fish and chip shop opposite a pub, and we were aloud to eat our dinner in the pub. Back at the property, 2 great sized bedrooms, a good sized bathroom and downstairs ample room for us to either sit with a meal and watch the passing holiday makers or sit and read a book or watch a film in the other room, well equipped kitchen. Thank you, we will be back!!!
This is a lovely cosy comfortable cottage on the Quay in Appledore with a super view over the river estuary. We had some difficulty finding it as the website is misleading. The actual name of the cottage is The Moorings not Quayside Fisherman’s Cottage! Please can you change this on your website?
This was an absolute gem of a place, comfy, quirky, spotless, a real home from home... but better. The decor was delightful, real homely touches, warm and cosy. It was light,bright and airy, with spectacular views over the estuary.
Everything.you could need in the well equipped kitchen, and then some!
There were nice touches, such as games for a rainy day, a very thoughtful welcome pack.. which was much appreciated, and a welcoming light left on for our late arrival.
In the absolute best location to enjoy all the delights of fabulous Appledore.
The host, Derek, was extremely welcoming, helpful and immediately answered any queries by text, or phone.
We shall return to this cottage in the future, we have Scrabble competitions to complete!
Thank You for having us to stay.
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.
