Whimbrel Cottage - Two Bedroom House, Sleeps 4

A delightful character cottage quietly situated yet just a short walk to the Quay where wonderful views across the estuary can be enjoyed and there are a selection of shops cafes and restaurants. Attractively decorated and comfortably furnished throughout whilst much of the original features of the cottage can still be seen  including, beams, sloping ceilings and a large inglenook fireplace with woodburner.  On the ground floor a cosy living room can be found at the front of the cottage with a kitchen/diner at the rear leading out into a sheltered fully enclosed small courtyard ideal for alfresco dining.  Steep narrow stairs lead up to two attractive bedrooms and a bathroom are on the first floor.  Whimbrel Cottage is in a great location for exploring the wonderful coastline in this part of North Devon and visitors will enjoy the great coastal walks along the Tarka Trail and rugged coastline towards Hartland.  The Elizabethan port town of Bideford and the sandy surfing beach resort of Westward Ho! are both within a 10 minute drive whilst the splendour of Exmoor or the wonderful coast and countryside of North Cornwall are both just a 40 minute scenic drive.

Great location in lovely village
Whimbrel Cottage is ideally located in the heart of Appledore, a lovely seaside town. Restaurants, galleries, coffee shops and pubs are literally within a few steps of the cottage. Coastal walks are easily accessed. This is a charming old fisherman’s cottage with ceilings in some areas that are quite low by modern standards so mind your head. The bedroom is comfortable, bright and spacious. The bathroom is clean and there is plenty of hot water for showers. The kitchen is bright and well equipped. We found the lounge area a little dark and musty. We were disappointed that the dampness caused by flooding was not disclosed even though efforts were made to use scented air fresheners and a dehumidifier. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. Over our 5 nights we generally found it more comfortable to read up stairs in the bedroom.
