We had a fantastic week at Catboat Cottage, such a great location meaning not far to walk to pubs, shops, the lifeboat centre and other local attractions. The cottage had great sized rooms and stayed cool in the VERY hot weather.

We four retired teachers were pleased with our stay in the Catboat Cottage. The location was ideal: a short walk into the village with its many shops and eateries. Furthermore, the cottage was comfortable and welcoming. Parking, at first, concerned us, but we found free parking on the street above the cottage and this worked well. Our stay in Appledore was delightful! Finally, Holly, our host, responded quickly to our messages and concerns.

We were hoping for a holiday cottage in a location where we didn't have to drive everyday to be somewhere interesting. Appledore is a perfect little village/town for a quiet holiday but it still feels alive with plenty of people around and activities going on. We enjoyed seeing locals going out on rowing practices in the evenings - I would love to be this close to the see to have this as a hobby. There is a very good selection of well rated eateries - we recommend the Flame Factory and both the fish and chip places. The cottage itself was comfortable and homely.
