This was our second stay at Poacher's. Our family (2 × adults, son aged 14 & daughter aged 12) had another fantastic week here. The cottage is well located in beautiful Appledore in a stunning part of North Devon. There is so much to do in the local area and Poacher's is the perfect base, in a quiet court just off lovely Irsha Street, mere steps away from two waterside pubs and a five minute walk from Appledore Quay. The cottage is spotless. very well decorated, has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of storage in the bedrooms for clothing and it is useful having two bathrooms. Whilst there is no on site parking, there is a car park a stone's throw from the cottage. We bought a weekly ticket and it was very convenient. We went on some super walks (from the cottage to Northam Burrows and we had a wonderfulntime further up the coast at Hartland Quay), jumped in the waves at Westward Ho! , caught the small ferry across the estuary to Instow, went crabbing on the quay, spent 2 hours on a traditional Appledore lugger (with Appledore Sails - highly recommended), had fish & chips whilst watching the Appledore Brass band give their weekly evening performance on the quay and more. We enjoyed some lovely meals in Appledore and stocked up on local produce at John's deli. There are an array of gift shops, eateries, a maritime museum, boat trips, stunning views and unforgettable sunsets. Come to Appledore and stay in Poacher's Cottage - it really has everything you need for the perfect Devon holiday. We are planning our third visit. ...

Appledore is a delightful small town on the Torridge estuary with some terrific independent shops, pubs and restaurants. It is an excellent centre for exploring the North Devon coast and Poacher's Cottage is the perfect place to stay. It's a cosy and comfortable character cottage in the most attractive part of town. It's just yards from the sea, but quiet and secluded. I recommend it without hesitation....

Amazing location literally a stone’s throw from the sea and 2 pubs with great food and views of the coast and beautiful scenery. The cottage is extremely peaceful and we all slept really well in the comfortable beds. Very central to places like Clovelly, Saunford Sands, Westwood Ho and Heartland. ...
