Sam

We had an amazing time! The upside-down layout was really interestingand the house was spotless and modern. The hot tub was such a treatand the views of the estuary at sunset were simply breathtaking. Everything was well equippedand we truly felt at home. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Oliver

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. The views over the Estuary and Northam Burrows are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. It's a very welcoming place and easy to settle into, even after the effort of unloading the car! There's plenty of space-five of us plus a dogand it could easily accommodate more. The owners have done a fantastic job redeveloping the place to a high standard. Appledore is charmingand walking along Irsha Street is a real treat-just watch out for the Beaver Inn. We'd happily return!

Emma Carter

This spot's fantastic, honestly! The scenery is breathtakingand we loved the hot tub - especially watching the sunset from there. Definitely our favourite stay so far. Would totally recommend to friends and family.

James

Lovely house with stunning estuary views, very well equipped indeed.

Sarah

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was lovely, with stunning views and everything we needed. The comfy sofas and hot tub were a big hit. It's a short stroll into the village with charming pubs. We came back feeling relaxed and can't wait to return. Thanks a lot!

Emma Clarke

We loved the cosy, stylish interior and the stunning sunsets. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing week. The weather was perfect, hot and sunny, making wildlife watching even better. Can't wait to come back for another fantastic holiday!

Emma

We had such a lovely stay! The house had everything we neededand honestly, the views from the front balcony were stunning. We were fortunate with the weather, so most days were spent relaxing on the back patios or enjoying the hot tub. Being the first guests, we had a couple of minor issues, but Paul sorted them out quickly. There are some charming coastal walks nearbyand we enjoyed visiting the local cafes and pubs in Appledore. Overall, this place really offers a luxurious break - we'd definitely come back!
