Our second visit, love the location of Pedros and view out to the estuary. Lots of boating and wildlife activity. Fluffy white towels and dog treats appreciated too!

Great location. This cottage is all about location. Watching the water flow by, admiring the boats, look at the lights of Instow.

We enjoyed our stay in Pedro, the cottage is in the perfect location, slightly away from the centre of Appledore, but right on the waters edge. Our family enjoyed crabbing and fishing from the garden wall. The cottage is in need of some modernisation, but saying that it is excellent value for money. The beds were comfy, and it had a rainfall showerRead more in the modern bathroom. The washing machine and tumble drier were an added bonus! Hide

Excellent cottage with a stunning view of the river and nature. The birds were amazing to watch and the fish coming in with the tide for feeding were intriguing to watch. This is a superb location to watch the world go by and re charge your batteries.

A very nicely located waterside cottage eright next to the estuary. There's lovely views and it's an easy level walk to the village centre. It's an old building with charm, but be careful if you are tall as there are some low beams.

The location of Pedro is simply stunning and much enjoyment can be had sitting watching the bird life, the coming and going of the tides and the sailing boats and dinghies. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. I would highly recommend the cottage for its semi-rural location, but quick access to the local shops and restaurants.

A perfect gem! Much larger than first appears. Exceptionally well equipped and logically laid out. Very cosy and relaxing in a lovely location with astounding estuary views across to Instow from the lounge, and even better from the secure garden. Easy access to all of the treats North Devon had to offer. Highly recommended.
