Soak up the sights, sounds, and smells of the sea! Centrally located on Irsha Street(in the conservation area of Appledore) which is famous for its pretty painted houses. Waking up to seagulls yarping overhead, hearing the waves lapping up the nearby slipway and watching the swallows swooping through the narrow streets, all add to the charm of this delightful cottage.

Blending character with comfort, our spacious four-bedroom holiday home serves as a perfect base for creating beautiful memories in Appledore. Much like the village itself, the cosy cottage is full of history whilst offering every modern convenience.
