After 18 months of Covid restrictions, it was so lovely to spend a week at this cottage. The weather was scorching all week but the cottage stayed cool and the garden area provided different areas to sit throughout the day. The views from the decking were a perfect way to start the day and the planting throughout the garden is beautiful. The cottage had everything we needed, comfy beds and just a short walk into town. Appledore itself, has plenty of great places to eat.......we loved John's, Flame Factory, The Royal Plaice, The Seagate and the Yard. Westward Ho! provides a beach within 6mins drive but we also drove to Croyde (45mins) a couple of times and the beach there is fabulous. We had a fabulous week in Appledire and would happily return again in the future.
