We live in London with 3 children and pets. We purchased the property in 2006 when it was totally refurbished. We regularly spend time in Appledore as we love the charm of the village and the fact that there is so much to do on our doorstep.
We hope that visitors to the cottage have as much fun there as we have had over the years.

Appledore has a lot of variety to offer ranging from the various outdoor activities such as the beaches, surfing, cycling, walking and golf to just ambling along visiting the various art and craft shops. there are a number of excellent public houses which serve food and regularly provide live entertainment.
What makes this property unique
With the central location of the property it is less than a minutes walk to the local newsagent and grocery store. In addition being located just 50 yards from the Quay means that right on the doorstep you can amble along the Quay or just sit an admire the view across the estuary to Instow.
