Wonderful, cosy cottage, really warm and a home from home. Lots of pretty decor and lamps, absolutely love the automatic night lights which were ideal for the kids at night. Not too far from the centre of Appledore if you cut down Duke Street. Perfect garden for the dog. Really nice touch of a welcome pack, beds were all comfy and it was very quietRead more. Hide

We enjoyed a lovely week at this surprisingly big and well equipped house, in such a lovely destination, just a stroll downhill into the shops of Appledore and the Quayside. As a family of 5, with a dog, we didn't struggle for space- in fact the loft was a mini suite for our 14 year old.
