I stayed as part of a six adult group and the Sail Loft provided ample living spaces. The property caters for 10 and even at that size there would still be ample room. The house was very clean upon arrival. The appliances including the hi-fi are top quality and the beds very comfortable. The property location is also excellent, close to the shops, Read morerestaurants and pubs. Our furry companion was also well accommodated, with dog bowls, treats and covers for furniture including towels provided. Hide

Beautiful holiday home, fully equipped with everything you need. Appledore is a lovely village, lots of pubs & places to eat. Its best to buy a weeks car parking in the main carpark as there as the on street parking is always busy.

We stayed as a family group and it was perfect. Immaculately clean and fabulously well equipped.

No parking but car park a 5 mins walk away and a weekly ticket will cost you 30 (loads of spaces in August). Wonderful place Hide
