Emma Carter

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was spot on, just a short stroll to the pubs and cafes in Appledore. The house comfortably fit our group of 8-three generations, four couplesand three dogs-there was plenty of space to hang out or find some quiet time. It was spotless and well-equipped. The hot tub with views was a lovely touch, shame we couldn't use it more because of the weather, but still a great stay!

Great location with easy access to shops and lively bars nearby.
