About this cottage rental
Set in a quiet and colourful lane in the heart of the picturesque fishing village of Appledore, this stylishly updated cottage is full of character and makes a fantastic holiday retreat for couples and smaller families. Perfect for exploring the quaint ports and beautiful beaches of North Devon, the property is close to the quay and retains plenty of original features including low timber beams, sloping ceilings, steep cottage-style stairs and exposed stonework. Offering cosy accommodation for up to four guests, this lovely hideaway is perfect for keen walkers, beach lovers and water sports fans.
Entering the cottage, you will find the delightful beamed lounge which features a welcoming wood burner set in an inglenook surround, along with plenty of seating, a Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker. Heading through, the bright and fully equipped kitchen/diner is perfect for rustling up and enjoying your favourite family dishes. Heading up the narrow cottage-style stairs, the first floor offers a refreshing family bathroom and two light, spacious bedrooms: a cheerful king-size room, and a relaxing twin room which has an additional step leading up to it. Outside, the walled courtyard has patio furniture and makes a lovely spot for a secluded evening meal.
A bustling maritime village with a history going back to the age of Elizabeth I, Appledore has a maze of narrow lanes occupied by colourful cottages, galleries and antique shops. Appledore Quay sits by the mouth of the River Torridge as it flows into the River Taw and out to sea. There are plenty of great pubs, restaurants and cafes in Appledore and in the nearby towns and resorts of Instow, Bideford and Westward Ho!, all within 5.5 miles, with local attractions including Northam Burrows Country Park, Tapeley Park and The BIG Sheep, all within 6 miles.

Appledore is a charming place and Whimbrel Cottage offers a haven within it.
Cosy, clean and comfortable, a wonderful place to relax and recharge.
6 / 10Average·May 2023
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.
