Luxury Holiday Accommodation in Appledore, Devon

Cornwallis sits at the end of a charming row of former mariners' cottages, tucked away on a quiet cobbled street, just a stone's throw from the bustling quayside. Peacefully positioned yet wonderfully central, it's the perfect base from which to wander, explore, and soak up the magic of Appledore.

 

Located in the heart of this traditional fishing village, just a mile and a half from the sandy beaches of Westward Ho!, our premium Appledore accommodation enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the rooftops to the estuary, Instow, and the open sea beyond.

A large, open-plan kitchen creates a wonderful entertaining space for your stay. Floored in slate with a range of rustic painted wooden cabinets and a retro-style dining table seating 6, this well-equipped kitchen features all the modern conveniences required for an effortless self-catering holiday.

It is perfect for leisurely brunches and cosy suppers. To the far end, relaxed seating gathers around a glowing fire, creating a wonderful, warm, social space - this is the heart of the home, made for sharing food, stories, and unhurried time together.

A cosy sitting room for relaxed evenings

To the front of the cottage, you'll find a cosy sitting room with deep moody green walls and soft linen furnishings, together with a fire creating a cocoon of comfort.

It is the perfect place for you to relax of an evening or when the weather turns. Choose a book from the shelves, perhaps play a game of backgammon, or simply unwind with a good film.

Far reaching, panoramic views across the estuary

On the first floor, a large bright south facing king enjoys views out of a near floor to ceiling wooden sash window towards the estuary. Painted wooden floors, fluffy rugs and a contemporary gas fire in the chimney breast, all add to the serenity of this room, making it a cosy retreat for you to unwind in quiet comfort.

 

Looking over the garden to the back is a lovely twin bedroom, perfect for kids or adults. This can be made for you into a super king on request.

Stairs rising from the centre of the landing lead you up into a stunning vaulted super king suite, where two windows frame breathtaking views across the estuary. Bathed in natural light and elegantly styled, this elevated retreat feels wonderfully private and tranquil.

 

This is the perfect suite for you to happily while away a morning with a good book, watching the scenery change with the ebb and flow of the tide.

Pretty little sunny walled garden

Double doors from the kitchen lead you out to a beautiful enclosed sunny walled garden, partly slate paved, grassed and decked and adorned with festoon lighting.  Here you'll find an inviting outdoor seating area and table for Al Fresco dining. Relax in the early morning sun with a brew and fresh croissant, cook up a tasty BBQ feast or settle in with a wood fired pizza from The flame factory. Unwind after a day of exploring.

To the front of the house a small sunny terrace, with cafe style seating offers a different aspect, a spot to watch the world go by.
