The pretty village of Appledore has a bustling quayside, and amongst the narrow streets is a tempting range of restaurants, pubs, and shops to choose from. During the summer, take the foot ferry to Instow where there s a sandy beach and plenty of pubs and restaurants. A larger beach at Westward Ho!, with its pebble ridge, is just a short drive away (3 miles) or you may prefer to walk along the coast path past the lifeboat station to get there. Or, visit Bideford where you will find a range of shops, pubs, and restaurants. For a fun day out for the little ones, visit the Big Sheep (4 miles) or the Milky Way (11 miles).

To the left of the front entrance is an inner hallway leading to a twin room with a Smart TV.

The dining area can be extended and can seat up to eight people comfortably. The lounge area has breathtaking views from the sofa out through the large sash windows and, with a large roof light above, it is a naturally light and airy room.
