This cute former fishermans cottage set in the heart of Appledore, a great choice for guests in search of a peaceful getaway by the sea.

A delightful cottage enjoys a convenient location just a stone’s throw from the bustling quayside.

A short drive will bring you to Westward Ho!, which boasts two miles of golden sandy beach together with an array of amusements and amenities. During your stay, make sure you pay a visit to some of the popular local attractions, which include the cobbled streets of Clovelly, RHS Rosemoor Gardens, Tapeley Park and Dartington Crystal. Inside, the accommodation is contemporary yet full of character with slate and wooden flooring and tasteful decor throughout.

This property was clean but be warned its very bijou! I wouldnt say fit for 4 people. Location is great, parking is annoying unless you can get a space near the alleyways. The property was cute, bijou but lacked thought, it wasnt as comfortable as it could have been or practical. Kids bedroom door didnt shut, decking table and chairs were old needeRead mored a sand/varnish, absolute sun trap though but no umbrella. Check out the royal George fabulous food. Only one shop which is small and expensive. Hide

I was booked in for a week and stayed one night. The alleyway to the cottage was sloped upwards, not ideal with luggage. The cottage was tiny, I couldnt see any chairs for table. Microwave was in high cupboard so would have been dangerous to use. Stairs so narrow couldnt take suitcase up, window to terrace difficult to open. An information booklet Read morecould have addressed some of these issues. TV tiny and round a corner. I found the whole place depressing, and had to pay to park Hide

Fantastic location in the middle of the very quaint Appledore. Be prepared for a bit of a walk to the car as there is no parking - pack light!

Lovely cottage. Small and bijou. Not sure I would want to be there with children as balcony can only be accessed through the second bedroom which has bunk beds! A wonderful mid week break.

Cosy small cottage in need of sone general improvements as bit on the tatty side with some maintenance issues needing to be rectified. Very comfortable beds but shame other things let it down. Fine if you are not fussy and just want a base (as well located) but other better options available in the area.

Excellent location, Mole End retains a sense of character & charm. It is warm & light & the birdsong in the morning is lovely. IMO, it seems a little neglected overall. Personally I found the standards of cleanliness, care & attention to detail too inconsistent and in some cases lacking altogether. Space is optimised throughout, the kitchen is wellRead more equipped, the furniture is functional. There is WiFi, I found connectivity better upstairs. HC are responsive & easy to deal should the need arise. Hide

Really sweet cosy warm cottage in pretty village. Quiet in Jan but just how we like it, great walking nearby. Slippy outside in lane on cobbles and dark just take care. Steep stairs and very narrow each side of bed. Fully equipped kitchen but lovely cafe, pubs and fish and chips just down road

Loved the position of the cottage only a minute walk from the quay. No problem finding parking in the street. Appledore is beautiful with lots of individual shops, cafes and pubs dotted about in the narrow pedestrian streets.

A lovely cottage, sympathetically laid out in the centre of Appledore. Perfectly situated. Jthe right size for a week stay with a really lovely little outside space that is perfect for morning coffee. All bedding, fixtures and fittings are of good quality.

The central location to Appledore and Appledore itself was very pleasant. However the cottage was very tight with steep narrow stairs and a rather small and uncomfortable bed. More importantly there seem to be a general lack of TLC and general maintenance with a pervasive smell of damp particularly in the kitchen and sitting room. Finally WIFI is vRead moreery intermittent although the owner was very helpful in getting us connected when we brought the issue up. Hide
