Holiday lets and self-catering accommodation in Appledore, North Devon

The North Devon holiday destination of Appledore enjoys a stunning location on the River Torridge and the River Taw meeting point. Once the hub for shipbuilding in the region, Appledore boasts a rich maritime heritage, which can be observed through its Grade-II listed Georgian museum, which has many exhibits dating back to the Vikings and World War II. This pretty hamlet is a photographer's dream with its winding cobbled streets, pastel-coloured houses and views across to the idyllic Instow Beach. Savour paper-wrapped fish and chips on the quay or pop into one of the cafes for a classic Devon cream tea.
