A lovely cottage set in a quiet street , Well equipped and very comfortable a perfect place to relax.
Claire
Beautiful cottage with excellent facilities and in a wonderful location. We were a family of 14 in total aged between 5 and 70 and the location offered something for everyone. Appledore was the perfect setting for making treasured family memories and we will be visiting again next year.
Amanda
Great cottage. Even though you are minutes away from the Quayside and restaurants itâ??s very quiet. Good quality towels (I took my own but didnâ??t use them). Would definitely book again.
Caroline
Great property, we stayed there as a family of 4 and 2 small dogs - there is lots of room and then courtyard is lovely for humans and dogs. The location is great, just a few mins to all the shops and pubs, and the lovely quay. Bedrooms are great and bathroom is really lovely, a great size. Highly recommend! And we will hopefully be back!!
