Tillerman Cottage is in the middle of Appledore, on a quiet lane. It's a Grade 2 listed cottage from the early 19th century. It's small, but it's got everything you need for four people.
It's got two bedrooms upstairs, one double and one with two single beds. There's a shower room up there too. The stairs are a bit steep and narrow, and you get to them through a barn-style door in the kitchen. The kitchen's got a dishwasher and a coffee machine. There's a small, private courtyard garden out the back with a table and chairs. It gets the sun in the afternoon. There's also an outside loo out there, which is handy.
You can bring one dog. We provide the bedding and towels. There's a washing machine, WiFi, and a Smart TV. We also leave a cot, a highchair, and a stairgate if you need them.
Appledore itself is good for a wander. It's all narrow streets and old houses. There are a few pubs, cafes, and some interesting little shops. You can walk to the quay in about five minutes to watch the boats. Bideford is two miles away if you need a big supermarket or the pannier market.
The beach at Westward Ho! is about three miles away. It's a big, sandy beach, good for surfing or just a walk. You can see Lundy Island from there on a clear day. Instow beach, on the other side of the estuary, is a bit calmer for kids. You can drive or get the ferry in summer.
For walking or cycling, the Tarka Trail is right there. It's a flat path on an old railway line. You can go for miles. The South West Coast Path is nearby too. The nearest bit gives you great views across the water to Instow.
If you're looking for a day out, the National Trust's Arlington Court is about half an hour's drive, or there's Clovelly, which is a bit further. Both are good if you like that sort of thing.
