Jacqueline
Fantastic location with glorious views and lovely house.
Martyn
This is a lovely well-equipped house with fabulous views over the Estuary and Northam Burrows - good sunsets. Its a very easy place to settle into - (after a good workout unloading the car). There is plenty of room (we were five plus a dog and it would have been easy to fit three more). The owners have redeveloped the place imaginatively and to a hRead moreigh standard. Appledore is a great little town and the walk in along Irsha Street is a delight (if you make it past the Beaver Inn). Hide
