Lovely quiet, warm cosy cottage perfect for a winter break. Lots of restaurants, pubs and shops nearby with lovely walks. Stairs, as advised are a challenging but would not put us off booking again!

Small but well thought out and comfortable traditional maritime cottage in a great location. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues as the small staircase is very steep. Host left a couple of welcoming touches that are much appreciated and not considered in a lot of other locations weve been to. I would happily return!

A lovely cosy cottage in a great central location. Nice and quiet, we were lucky that we could make use of the balcony during our stay. The stairs could be an issue for those with mobility issues especially as the bathroom is on the ground floor. We really enjoyed our time here.

Fab location, comfortable and cosy. Bottle of bubbly was a very nice touch. The place could do with a little tlc. It could have been cleaner and some cleaning supplies would have been helpful. While the biscuits and freeze-dried coffee were a nice thought, the biscuits were a year out of date and the coffee had been there so long it was solid as a Read morerock . Would I stay here again? Sure, but I'd bring my own anti-bac wipes and coffee! Hide

Overall the cottage is comfortable and in a quiet area with no 'footfall' noise and we enjoyed our stay. Stairs are a problem for anyone with any mobility issues and bathroom access is difficult (or maybe impossible) if you are on the larger side due to door restricted by a towel rail - although the bathroom itself is very nice. Lacked silly thingsRead more like kitchen cloth & dustpan/brush for spillages and only one log supplied so using the log burner on chilly evenings was not possible. Hide

It's a very sweet little cottage, but not for those who aren't nimble (the stairs are a bit narrow in places). It's nicely decorated and all the amenities are there but it's cramped for families and cold in the winter. It was, however, wonderfully peaceful and quiet and in a perfect place for the centre of Appledore.

Small cottage, in lovely position in Appledore. Comfy bed and adequate facilities. Steep narrow stairway not ideal for older people though. Also no outside light so very dark entering or leaving at night.

Cottage on the whole was comfortable and enjoyable to stay in. An area of mould looked to be appealing in corner of wet room and floor properly needs attention to enhance drainage after shower

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights and thought it was perfect for what we needed. It is small but perfectly set-up in terms of interior. We didn't cook at the property so can't really comment on that but all the basics seemed to be there. The bed is now comfy! The small deck is a great suntrap. Great location. Very quiet.
