A very comfortable, well equipped cottage right in the heart of Appledore. We all loved staying there and would definitely stay again if we were to visit Appledore again. Perfect. The welcome goodies and flowers were a really nice touch too

I took my wife away for her 60th with my son his wife and two children. Also my daughter who flew home from the USA. We love Appledore and have been coming here for over 40 years on and off. The cottage was perfect for us. In a great location for all the local amenities. Very comfortable cottage with all the facilities we needed. Thank you.
