We four retired teachers were pleased with our stay in the Catboat Cottage. The location was ideal: a short walk into the village with its many shops and eateries. Furthermore, the cottage was comfortable and welcoming. Parking, at first, concerned us, but we found free parking on the street above the cottage and this worked well. Our stay in Appledore was delightful! Finally, Holly, our host, responded quickly to our messages and concerns.

Lovely family break

Appledore is a fantastic village we had a wonderful time. The cottage is very central to everything and worked well for us. We had four the bedrooms for the first week and three for the second as two of our group had to go back to work. Holly was very responsive and helpful thank you.

Our Second Visit

We booked Catboat Cottage for a second time and we were not disappointed! The cottage is well presented and brilliantly equipped with everything you need. The location is fantastic, very close to the town centre and car park. Holly is a great host too, who is always quick to respond to any queries and questions. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone.

Just what I was hoping for in a holiday cottage

We were hoping for a holiday cottage in a location where we didn't have to drive everyday to be somewhere interesting. Appledore is a perfect little village/town for a quiet holiday but it still feels alive with plenty of people around and activities going on. We enjoyed seeing locals going out on rowing practices in the evenings - I would love to be this close to the see to have this as a hobby. There is a very good selection of well rated eateries - we recommend the Flame Factory and both the fish and chip places. The cottage itself was comfortable and homely.

Wonderful holiday

Delightful accommodation with plenty of space to for our three generations and what a location. Had not known about Appledore before we went but its just perfect, would definitely reccomend, from the rockpooling and crabbing opportunities with the kids to wandering down to the Coffee Cabin first thing and simply enjoying the holiday atmosphere and estuary views. We finshed with a meal at the Beaver Inn (book early as its busy)- really nice pub. Oh, and not forgetting the Devonshire ice cream from Hockings - its something else.

Wonderful break in a lovely cottage

We had a great week in Catboat cottage. Then cottage is really comfortable with everything you need. It's in a great location - very near to the centre of Appledore, to the coast path for some great walks and not far to go for a swim at the huge beach at Westward Ho! Appledore is an interesting place - lots of nooks and crannies to explore and some great restaurants - we'd really recommend The Yard. Holly was super helpful and responsive - a great host! We'd love to come back. Thanks Holly!

A lovely fishing village location

3 double bedrooms and one twin bedroom - 2 bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and also a family bathroom was perfect for us as a family. The kitchen is large and the dining table seats 6. We were a group of 7 so we just added a chair. The weather was very warm and this house did struggle to get air flow through it as all of the rooms have only one window. We found we did not use the lounge as it was too warm in the hot weather. Some fans would have have been appreciated by us all. We needed an accommodation with a garden as we brought paddle boards and bicycles with us. What we didn't realise was that there was no access to the garden other than through the house. Being a cottage it was difficult to get the boards and the bikes into the garden due to small doorways and layout of the ground floor. This was disappointing as we were too worried we would mark or damage the walls or doorways bringing the bikes in and out through the house, so we opted not to use them and left them in the garden all holiday. We did use the paddle boards but chose to deflate them and leave them in the car boot rather than negotiate them into the garden through the house. The garden is a sun trap and just lovely but beware of the steps of differing heights! We had 2 adults trip up the steps to the garden and headbutt the wall. No alcohol was involved. As my step father is 81, this was a worry for us as he is a bit clumsy at the best of times. However, we used the garden daily for dining and there were no serious accidents. It would have been great to have the use of a BBQ as it was really hot and cooking in the kitchen each night was sweaty work. The bedrooms are very nice and everyone found the beds comfortable. Although there were 3 bathrooms, we found that only one person could shower at a time as the shower in the other bathrooms would then run cold. However we timed it well each day and all enjoyed a lovely warm shower, with good water pressure if only one shower is running at a time. The location of the cottage is on the main pedestrian access to two pubs at the end of Irsha Street. The patrons of these two pubs, were pretty noisy as they passed the cottage on their way home and this did keep us awake as we all need the windows open due to the heat. However, we were all adults on holiday so no youngsters to consider who could have been awoken by the passing revellers. Appledore is very quaint and picturesque and a lovely place for a holiday.

Thank you for the five-star review and we hope you made some happy memories during your stay. Our guests’ comfort is important to us, so we’re glad you found the beds restful and made use of the additional fireside dining chairs. We encourage guests to contact us if they need anything during their stay, our friendly housekeeping and maintenance team are always on hand to help. They would have gladly assisted with the difficulties experienced during the recent heatwave and with the showers. SInce then, both electric showers in the en suites have been checked, along with the one in the family bathroom that runs off the combi boiler and are now all working as normal. We appreciate all feedback from guests and are currently selecting suitable signage for the steps into the garden. For several reasons, a BBQ isn’t included with the cottage, but guests are very welcome to use disposable ones during their stay. This year has seen an unprecedented number of Staycationers, so at the end of an evening there can be some noise for a short period of time but The twin bedroom situated at the rear of the cottage overlooking the garden is very tranquil. Appledore is unique; for such a tiny village, it has every convenience within walking distance from the doorstep. We hope you visit Appledore again, it’s a wonderful village with so much to see and do!

Lovely cottage for a relaxing break

We were looking for a comfortable cottage in a village close to the coast so that we didn't have lots of driving to do once we got there. Success, we had a lovely week! The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped plus Holly was really friendly and helpful. Lots to do locally either walking or a short drive.

Week Away

Visited for half term week and had a wonderful time. The location of the cottage is perfect, just a short walk to the town and amenities. On arrival we found the cottage to be clean, tidy and well presented. It was also very well equipped throughout. My 5-year-old daughter especially liked the children's bedroom which is really well done. Holly is a great host, she phoned me on the day we arrived to let me know we could check in early which was a lovely touch. We are seriously considering booking again next year!

A wonderful holiday in wonderful house

Catboat Cottage was the perfect house for our holiday. A family trip with my husband and 3 young children (ages 8, 6 & 3) and my parents. The house was extremely well equipped and furnished and although a holiday house was very homely. Nothing was too much trouble for Holly (the owner) she answered all our questions before our stay and quickly arranged for a new outdoor table to be bought and delivered when the one at the house was broken. Although there is no parking at the house itself, and the nearby roads were very busy given the high season, we felt £16 for a weeks season ticket which was transferrable between local carparks in Westward Ho and Bideford as well as Appledore was extremely reasonable and the two carparks within 200m of the house always had space. We all had a wonderful time exploring the local area (beaches at Westward Ho! Saunton and Woolacombe; the waterfall and quay at Hartland and Lynton and Lynmouth); the children are already asking when we can go back! Thank you so much Holly for a wonderful holiday!

Great location

Very clean property in a great location. Could do with more than one key as there were 8 of us and the keys were a bit of an issue. Also the online listing for this cottage states that one of the facilities is parking. There is no parking at this cottage, though there is a pay and display car park not far away. All in all a good cottage for the four generations of us especially as it had a downstairs bathroom and shower room.

Great cottage in historic location

A very nicely renovated cottage which is spacious and exceptionally generously equipped. It has a small and lovely terraced back garden, with roses blooming throughout our stay. The street is really interesting too, with two pubs within 100 yards and slipways to the estuary. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Happy Holiday

Five old friends had a very happy reunion in this spacious cottage with plenty of bathrooms. The cottage is in the centre of old Appledore and is well equipped. The sound of the lapping waves at high tide lulled us to sleep. We had a very enjoyable time exploring RHS Rosemoor gardens, Heartland Abbey and quay and could have easily spent more time here. Perfect.

Well equipped, very comfortable and clean. Conveniently situated.

Because the Cottage was old and situated in a narrow street, daylight was limited. There are plenty of lights provided also comfortable seating. We used the Three double bedded rooms,all well set up with TV,though the signal is intermittent,as is the Wifi. Toilet facilities mainly upstairs unless you have the extra room downstairs which has an ensuite. The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of crockery and cutlery,and all the equipment was easy to use,cooker,dishwasher and microwave. We didn't use washing machine. The Dining room,is tasteful with good sized table and solid chairs. We found plenty of good walks, up to Bideford across the Burrows to Westward Ho and the Tarka trail reached by Ferry or Bus. Buses for Ilfracombe and links to many other places are available at Bideford? Five minutes to the bus stop meant we parked the car and didn't need to use it till we departed. We were three 'Seniors' so had to watch the steps in the house. Appledore is an interesting old Fishing town. We had a very enjoyable stay, it is our third time here and was declared "The Best Yet"

Cosy Catboat cottage

We really enjoyed our couple of weeks at Catboat cottage in Appledore, it was the perfect place to unwind. Although out of season, there was plenty to do and explore in and around the surrounding area including coastal walks, shopping, cycling and even braving the water surfing! after a chilly time in the November sea the cottage was a very warm and welcoming cosy retreat to come back to especially snuggling up by the fire in the front sitting room. The location of the cottage is perfect in Appledore nestled in the colourful and quaint Irsha Street which runs along the estuary. With a short walk you can get to local pubs The Beaver and The Seagate aswell as a couple of fish and chip shops and a small food store. Overall our stay was brilliant and we hope to return again soon and will definitely recommend to others.

Catboat Cottage - a hidden Appledore gem

Catboat Cottage is a gem of a house hidden away in Irsha Street, Appledore. It is well appointed and was very clean on our arrival. Tardis-like, it is larger than it would appear from the outside with four bedrooms and two good-sized living rooms- perfect for a family that doesn't want to be on top of one another. Our fortnight stay corresponded with glorious weather which allowed us to have breakfast on the terrace each morning, overlooking the rooftops of Irsha Street, towards the estuary. We gave up dieting and just tucked in each morning! The location of the cottage is central to Appledore being equi-distant from the quayside and The Beaver pub. Cream teas and good food were never far away. Similarly, Appledore itself is only ten minutes from "The Big Sheep" which is a lovely theme-park for families with younger children. Alternatively, it is only about half an hour from tremendous walks around Hartland Quay on the coastal pathway. Spectacular views abound! Overall, our stay was brilliant and we'd warmly recommend this property to others.
