The perfect getaway to the lovely and easily accessible area of Appledore on the north coast, close to spectacular beaches and so much to see and do.

This lovely property sleeps four people, having a tastefully decorated master bedroom with king size bed and a further bedroom with twin beds. There is plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The family bathroom is modern with a shower set within the bath. Downstairs, there is a Lounge diner, flooded with light, with French doors leading to the private patio and rear garden to enjoy the sunshine. A fully equipped kitchen, containing a microwave, washer/dryer, induction hob, electric oven and integrated fridge freezer. A great property to have as the base for your holiday.

Situated in the fishing village of Appledore, set on a hillside where the River Torridge and Taw meet, you will find this quaint cobbled street village. The rich history of this area has been centred around ship building, take a visit to the North Devon Maritime Museum. The quay, popular with crabbing has a great many traditional fishing boats which also are neighbours with yachts and pleasure boats offering trips across, or along the Estuary. A trip to the pretty 17th century village of Instow is a must, (via foot ferry) which is a wonderful sheltered stretch of dog friendly sandy beach.

A variety of pubs and restaurants to sample the wide range of locally sourced products and seafood. The Arts and Crafts and local shops will give the option to find unique pieces, the Appledore Crafts Company is also well worth a visit.

Take a pleasant stroll to Westward Ho! (where there is great surfing) or Bideford, along the Coast Path. The beaches at Westward Ho! and Greysands are dog friendly. There are countless North Devon visits to be made, the traffic free Tarka trail is very popular with cyclists and walkers, allowing the opportunity to enjoy the scenic Devon countryside.

Garden and countryside lovers will enjoy RHS Rosemoor or Tapeley Gardens and the Exmoor National Park all offer a great day out. If sea fishing is your thing, take a trip and hopefully cook your own dinner from your catch, whilst Dartington Crystal, is the only remaining glass-making factory in the UK.

Or if you are looking for something more adrenalin fuelled, head over to Pebble Ridge Adventure and Go Karts, whilst golfers will enjoy The Royal North Devon Golf Club. For family fun, visit the “Big Sheep”, “Milky Way adventure” parks only a few miles away in Bideford.
