The master bedroom even enjoys its own private balcony, while the fifth bedroom can be found on the lower ground floor. A spacious games room boasting large sofas, a TV, and a multi-game table with table tennis, air hockey and pool awaits, perfect for challenging family and friends after dinner or on a rainy day.

An absolutely fantastic place for a family get together. We were here with our adult children and their partners - plenty of room for everyone to hang out upstairs and have tournaments in the games room downstairs. The house was very well equipped with all the pots, pans, utensils etc you could possibly need. The location was perfect; the house is Read morein the centre of things yet quite quiet and hidden. We do know Appledore very well and this is certainly the best place we have stayed. Perfection! Hide

Great space for our family of 8adults, 2 little ones and 2 dogs. Clean and very warm there was no need to light the wood burner, the beds were very comfortable, plenty of crockery and cutlery,pots and pans. Lovely walks around the area too. Good food from The Seagate and Flame factory, didn't try any others. Weather helped massively.

The Sail Loft had everything we wanted for 2 families of 4 ranging in age from 15 to 46! The amount of crocks and cutlery was fantastic and 2 dishwashers a real bonus. We loved the main living space and the games room too. A wonderful property.

An excellent property for a family holiday. Three generations enjoyed all the facilities on offer - the house was welcoming and well equipped. The games room was particularly popular with both young and old alike. The location was great for exploring the area and we made good use of local amenities.

Beautiful house, wonderfully equipped. Table in games room great fun. The staircases, although stunning, could be difficult to negotiate by young children and the more infirm adult. We were a party of 7 70-80 year olds and had an amazing week and would love to return (if our legs still let us!).
