Cornwallis Cottage
About Cornwallis
Cornwallis sits at the end of a charming row of former mariners cottages, tucked away on a 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 Westwood Ho!, Cornwallis enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the roof tops to the estuary, Instow and sea beyond.
A large, open plan kitchen creates a wonderful entertaining space
Floored in slate with a range of rustic painted wooden cabinets and a retro style dining table seating 6, this well equipped kitchen, with all the modern convieniences, is perfect for informal brunches and cosy suppers. Relaxed seating around a cracking fire to the other end, creates a wonderful warm, social space, the heart of the home, made for sharing food, stories and unhurried time together.
Double doors lead out from here to a walled garden. a separate laundry and washroom sit off to the side.
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.
The perfect place for you to relax of an evening or when the weather turns, choose a book from the shelves, perhaps a game of backgammon or simply unwind with a good film.
