Do come to Appledore and stay in Poachers Cottage if you want a sophisticated setting. There are lots of places to eat out, virtually on the doorstep. Its also a good place to use as a base and venture elsewhere. I would recommend a trip to Clovelly which is also breathtaking. Appledore is very dog friendly so if you have pooches, they will love it too. The locals are very friendly and welcoming which is always nice. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Sue...

We really Loved the cosy cottage and location was perfect for our walking eating and drinking week with great pub around the corner - the beaver - and a good pub restaurant at the end of the road. A lot better than anything I found on Airbnb. My only comment would be that the mattresses in the twin room were not comfortable for adults . Better quality mattresses would have made it a perfect week! ...

Appledore is a quiet, pretty village next to a beautiful estuary. If you want to be near North Devon's many attractions, this is not the place for you but if you are looking for a comfortable cottage close to pubs and the South West coastal path, this would be a good bet. Our family (2x adults & 2x children) had a lovely weekend in this comfortable and well equipped cottage. We did a number of coastal walks, played in the waves at nearby Westward Ho!, visited the Milky Way adventure Park and enjoyed crabbing at Appledore Quay. We liked being able to walk out for a dinner at a number of eateries without needing the car. I have a sneaking feeling that we shall return. ...

We loved our stay in Poachers Cottage, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was pure relaxation. The cottage is quirky but lovely and is a stone's throw away from some fantastic pubs. Appledore itself is gorgeous - lovely park for the children, great crabbing on the promenade - amazing coffee from the Coffee Cabin. We didn't want to come home!! ...
