Cottage with lovely estuary views
The cottage is very well situated in the old part of Appledore in a quiet street with excellent views of the estuary from the cosy upstairs sitting room. A very pleasant place for a winter holiday.

Lovely little place to stay
This is such a lovely little house to stay, very relaxing. It has everything you could possibly need while you are staying and everything is either right on your doorstep or within a short walking distance. Generally everyone around is very friendly and happy to offer advice on places to go and things to see.

Lovely cottage in great location
The best thing about the property is the view from the lounge and the garden overlooking the shoreline. We spent most of our time there. The cottage is very traditionally furnished and comfortable.There are two brilliant pubs within five minutes walk serving excellent food. Appledore itself is a delightful, large village with plenty of amenities. Highly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Blythe

Host profile image
I've owned and managed Curlew Cottage for over thirty years, with the help of a local caretaker, and have enjoyed getting to know regular visitors and Appledore village life. I live in the countryside of West Yorkshire and always love visiting Curlew Cottage and Appledore.

Why they chose this property

The light reflecting from the sea in Appledore makes everything look beautiful. Add the views and the character of the old fishing village, and that would be reason enough to stay in a cottage here! Appledore also has shops, a bus service and a great choice of places to eat and drink and is very favourably placed in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Marine Nature Reserve.

Curlew Cottage is an 18th century fisherman's cottage with an interesting interior, situated on the South West Coast Path. There is an abundance of coastal villages and countryside to visit nearby, as well as beaches, National Trust properties, a golf course, lifeboat station, Lundy island, and attractive local towns like Bideford with their range of useful shops and facilities.

What makes this property unique

Whatever the weather you will have a fantastic view over the water from the garden, kitchen and upstairs lounge of all sorts of boats and water craft, birds and sunsets. Curlew Cottage cottage has a well equipped kitchen for when you plan to eat in. A short walk away you'll find two pubs with restaurants and a little further, the quay and local shops. Local musicians entertain in many of the Appledore pubs. You can walk or take a short drive to one of the best beaches in Devon at Westward Ho! and Northam. Fishing and boat trips are available from the quay and children enjoy using crab lines and exploring the rock pools. You can even buy local fish as it lands. Appledore has a strong artistic tradition and has an annual visual arts festival and a book festival.
