Lovely cottage with amazing sea views

The Old Boat Yard is a lovely old cottage in Appledore. Situated on the sea side of Irsha Street, there are beautiful views from the patio garden and first floor terrace, across the estuary to Braunton Burrows, The cottage is comfortable, homely, well-equipped and full of character. Communications with Richard were easy and he was very helpful. We had a wonderful break and will certainly stay here again.

Amazing place

We had an amazing week here. It was the perfect place to completely relax for us in the busy summer 6 week holidays. We could close the qorld away and sit for hours in the conservatory looking at the scenery. The house had everything we needed and with the lovwly quiet town of Appledore only 2mins walk away, we could pop there for anything we needed. Thanks for the perfect summer break Richard et al, we will definitely be back.

a lovely place for rest and relaxation with a view of the estuary at both high tide and ow tide.

Clean, comfortable but outside could do with a little clean up especially the conservatory roof. Moss and weeds spoil a lovely roof.

100% Relaxation guaranteed

This was our 2nd stay in the summer holdays and it always delivers 100% relaxation. As two teachers who live in the West Country, we totally appreciate how rare it is to find a seaside space that is not heaving with people in the 6 weeks summer holidays. The mesmeric views of the estuary and the walks along the coast to the Burrows or across the estuary at instow of Crow point are brillinat for dog walkers and with very few people. The property was as spotless as ever. We will definitely be booking agian.

This is probably our 6 or 8 visit over many years, we can't remember, but as always really enjoyed our stay and were blessed with fantastic weather. This is a great house especially if you either come as 2 families or with friends. Crabbing still enjoyed at high tide by all ages. Hockings ice cream eaten every day and lots of swimming and cream teas (Doctor Mill the best). Will be back for sure.

A real gem

Deceptively large, well equipped property with good facilities and unbelievable views of the estuary. A pleasure to get up every morning just to look out of the window. Ideally situated right in the heart of Appledore. Three pubs close by. Lots going on in the town. Shops, fishing, pleasure boating. Museums, etc. etc. Great food at the Seagate Hotel. Ideally situated for days out to Westward Ho! Bideford, Barnstaple. Catch the ferry over to Instow etc. You can even go crabbing of the back patio. Thanks for a great holiday Richard. We will be back.

We have rented this property for some 35 years, so you may conclude that we like it. However two issues, the first is that no effort had been made to make it " Covid compliant " which as the first tenants post Coronavirus, did not worry us. The second issue, much more serious is that we did not have a single communication from HomeAway . Com post your demand for our Rent, not a dicky bird.

A memorable visit

Really perfect. Wonderful views, charming rooms, with room for everything…Lots of comfortable seating, shelf and closet space. The heating system was easy to use, and the fire place too. The house was within walking distance of pubs, and shops and even the ferry over to Instow…we visited out of season so parking was also no problem. All in all a memorable visit, we’ll worth the time and money. Thank you The Wilson’s, Alexandria, Virginia

The house is in a perfect location.

The house is in a perfect location. Close to all that Appledore has to offer and only a short walk from the car park. The house is well set up, offering sleeping accommodation on two levels. The view from the conservatory, overlooking the estuary, is stunning. We were even able to enjoy crabbing over the garden wall when the tide was in! A fabulous holiday was had by all ages in our extended family.

We throughly enjoyed our stay here. Large spacious, homely, well equipped property spread over three floors with amazing views of the estuary from most rooms. The conservatory allows you to enjoy the view regardless of weather were we spent a lot of time . Good outdoor space with excellent crab fishing from garden at high tide.
