Lovely apartment with beautiful views from both bedrooms. The lounge has comfy sofas and the kitchen everything you need. The beds are super comfy and we slept well; it was so peaceful. Parking was really handy. We walked to the shops, restaurants and pubs often. The ferry to Instow was fun and we enjoyed drinks and a pub meal over there.

Property is in good location with off-road parking and outstanding views across the estuary. Clean and comfortable, with good shower, though storage space is bit limited in the main bedroom. Warning that it is 36 steps up from street level so carrying luggage, food etc up to the property is challenging.

A great place to stay! Convenient parking next to the house (was largely why we chose to stay here). Flat is clean, spacious & well appointed. (Discovered a hairdryer in the main bedroom after bringing my own.) Well worth being on top floor as plenty of windows giving lots of natural light and fantastic views across Appledore. Comfortable living roRead moreom sofas, important as we did have one rainy day spent indoors. Ideal base for exploring, recommend Tapeley park, Rosemoor, Hartland Point, Clovelly Hide

A lovely apartment in a great location. The property was spotlessly clean and tidy on arrival, with a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds and sofas. The off street parking is also a massive advantage, given the surrounding narrow roads which are typical of the area. Would definitely recommend it.

This property is situated at a high point in Appledore giving spectacular views across the estuary from the main bedroom window. Although at the top end of Meeting Street and a steep climb from the quay its well worth it. Well appointed and comfortable, a great place to base yourselves for the surrounding area attractions and locations.

Whilst the accommodation is at the top of a hill (and up a few flights of stairs), it was still a great location in Appledore. The property itself is very light with many windows (inc velux) letting in lots of light. The accommodation was a great layout for, enabling the "chef" to feel part of the family even when in the kitchen. Please note, thereRead more is NO DVD player and the CD player didn't recognise our CDs or pick up many radio stations. However, we would stay again!! Hide
