The cottage is in a lovely position overlooking the quay. Although parking is at the kerbside, we never had a problem parking either outside or nearby.This old cottage has been modernised very well and has a surprising amount of space. Everywhere was very clean and well equipped.The bed in the master bedroom was one of the comfiest we have slept in and the view from the bedroom windows across the estuary was lovely.There's a decent selection of pubs to choose from given that Appledore is quite small. All had a good selection of beers. To eat, Jack Spratts was good, and The Royal Plaice fish 'n' chip shop behind the cottage served great food, but service was slow.All in all, would definitely recommend staying here.

One of the best

The cottage is clean, comfortable, pleasant and welcoming. There's plenty to see and do in and around Appledore, and a good choice of places to eat. We've visited the area quite a few times over the years and this cottage has certainly been one of the best. We all really enjoyed our stay.
