Birds Cottage sits in the heart of Appledore, a traditional fishing village on the North Devon coast. This dog-friendly seaside cottage occupies a narrow pedestrianised street just a few hundred metres from the waterfront. The property sleeps four guests across three bedrooms.
Appledore offers pretty winding streets lined with brightly painted fishermen's cottages. The North Devon Maritime Museum showcases the town's ship-building workshops and fishing industry. You'll find galleries, gift shops and good places to eat and drink. A summer ferry crosses to Instow on the opposite riverbank.
The ground floor features a snug living room with wood burner set in a large inglenook fireplace with exposed stonework.
