Overview
Property code: DOCHO

This superbly renovated property in Appledore is a great base for a holiday in beautiful North Devon. Guests can either take a day-trip or simply enjoy what Appledore has to offer.

Enjoy a super stay at this sunny, holiday home at Appledore in Devon. Beautifully restored, the four-bedroom, character house now sleeps eight guests and also welcomes one canine companion with open paws. From here, wander the pretty streets, quayside and harbour of the colourful fishing village or plan days out with your group to nearby beaches and local attractions. Follow coastal walks then return home to prepare tasty home-cooked meals or to simply relax in the sunshine out in the garden while the BBQ heats up.

 

Wander into this pretty property to find welcoming, cosy accommodation to suit a group of eight perfectly. Head into the lounge after fun-filled days exploring Devon to plan tomorrow’s activities together or to watch a DVD or TV. Light the wood burner, which sits in a great stone fireplace, in here on chilly nights and simply relax in its warming glow. Find everything you need in the kitchen to cook up treats with fresh, local produce bought on your forays out, then climb two steps up into the dining room to enjoy meals together around the table. Discover your family bathroom, with its WC and shower over the bath, is downstairs, and that one of your bedrooms, which benefits from an en-suite shower room and WC, is up three steps from the main ground floor area. Three additional bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and WC, are located up on the first floor. Bask in the enclosed walled garden at the house, which is a veritable sun trap. Dine outside as often as possible or just relax in the warmth with a good book and a cup of coffee.

A clean and comfortable house in a very good central position. Cracking inglenook fireplace with efficient log burner, but you will need to provide your own logs and kindling. We had an issue with the central heating but Steve from the house management sorted it out quickly and very efficiently, so guests are well supported and looked after.

No welcome pack, no guest book or instructions. No local contact. Tired furnishings and grubby decor. After many other bookings in the area, we were very disappointed with what could be a lovely place

The property is in a great location in beautiful Appledore. We found it to be exceptionally clean and super comfortable beds. There are a number of stairs in /accessing the property so one to be mindful of for mobility. There is a lovely walled garden which I can imagine would come into its own in the summer months.
