We had a lovely stay at Catboat Cottage. The property is well equipped with everything that is needed to make the stay enjoyable. The decor is both modern yet with little touches to remind the visitor that it is very much part of the Appledore fishing community. Situated in Irsha Street, visitors can enjoy either a stunning walk up the street towards the Lifeboat Station passing an array of cottages decorated in various pastel shades or walk down towards the Quay and take in the charming vista of the sailing boats anchored at the mouth of the River Torridge. Appledore retains a quaintness that is both welcome in an ever- increasingly fast-paced world and charmingly quite old fashioned. There are a number of old established pubs within the village with the most popular probably being The Beaver but closely followed by The Seagate and The Royal George. ( Our favourite was The Champ ...where the beer was excellent!)
Moreover, the village is at the hub of North Devon and is close to The Big Sheep children's adventure playground ( with a very rural twist) and the fabulous North Devon Coastline with its amazing views out to sea.
Staying at Catboat Cottage enabled us to feel part of this vibrant community as well as being at the gateway to all the pleasures of North Devon What's...

   Read moreWe came here for a long weekend. There was Contact from day of booking which was great, Holly is very pleasant and easy to communicate with. Nothing was to much trouble. As soon as you walked into the property you felt at home, heating was on and cottage was warm, cosy and i would say caters to everyones likes. The character of the cottage is beautiful and made us happy that it is kept and travels through the house. Holly has supplied everythibg you need for a stay, from condiments to stair gates to towels. I wpuld highly reccommend this property and would give more stars if i could. The surroundings complete it, its in a beautiful place amd walk away from the water. Holly was also at hand to give advice on local places to eat and visit.
Fantastic place and team to deal with will definately...
