Situated on one of Appledore's pretty cobbled streets, Waterside Cottage is ideally located within walking distance of the small shops, cafes and popular inns which are scattered through the winding streets and quayside. Many of the nearby pubs also have live music nights throughout the year which prove a great evening out. Appledore itself lies on the River Torridge and the passenger ferry runs regularly to take visitors to the opposite village of Instow with its sheltered stretch of sandy beach.
Westward Ho! beach is within walking distance of the cottage and is a great place to visit throughout the year, ideal for both surfers and walkers alike. The ancient town of Bideford is also within easy reach and is home to boutique shops and cafes and has a regular ferry to Lundy Island with its protected Marine Conservation Zone.
Please note: This may not be suitable for those with mobility issues due to steep cottage style stairs and nearest parking location. Please request a copy of the access statement (prior to booking) for more information.
