Blending original features with a modern zest, it is the ideal place to feel uplifted as you relax and soak in the wonderful coastline. Whether you wish to savour the coastal activities or put your feet up and unwind, this home will embrace you.

With history on your doorstep, you are only a short stroll from the RNLI Lifeboat Station, rockpools and beach, and a few minutes’ walk from the quayside, artisanal shops, delicatessen and friendly, family-run cafes.

Our spacious, historic cottage, located in the heart of Appledore’s conservation area, is idea for couples and families.

Original features throughout, like its encaustic floor tiles bidding you welcome as you step through the hallway, and period fireplace and coving in the sitting room ensuring you feel cosy, this warm, charming home will ensure you feel comfortable during your stay.

With a king size bedroom and two double bedrooms, along with its sitting room and dining room, you will find plenty of room to get together and socialise or to kick back and relax. Guests enjoy two bathrooms, one en suite to the Master bedroom and a family bathroom on the ground floor.
