Emma T.
The views from the cottage were absolutely stunningand the decor was really lovely, making it feel just like home!
Emma
We stayed as a group of three couples with our two dogs and honestly, the place was lovely. The decor was charmingand the views really were fabulous. Every bedroom and bathroom was comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen and lounge had plenty of space and decent appliances. The hot tub was a real treat, even if we only used it twice. The info about the narrow road and parking beforehand was spot on, making everything easy. Thanks for a great break!
Emily
We had a lovely stay here! The house sits on a hill with stunning views of the estuary, which was a real highlight. It’s just a short walk into the charming village, with great restaurants, a deliand the slipway by the RNLI. Parking at the beach was easy, even in peak season, with options for daily or weekly rates. We also enjoyed loads of tennis nearby. The house was super comfy, especially loved the downstairs wet room for rinsing off the dog. Very relaxing overall!

The house was lovely, with breathtaking views and a beautiful garden that really made our stay special. The place is super well-equippedand we loved the touch of luxury with the upstairs bath and hot tub.

We definitely plan to come back - can’t wait to return!

James
We absolutely loved our stay at Castaway Cottage! It’s tucked away in a peaceful street in Appledore, which made it feel really private. The top floor master bedroom with those stunning panoramic views was a real highlight. The layout is clever - bedrooms on the ground floor and all the living spaces in the middle, so it feels spacious and cosy at the same time. Everything’s finished to a high standardand it’s a perfect spot for a relaxing holiday. We’d definitely return!
Emma
We had an incredible stay at this holiday home! It honestly feels more like a 5-star hotel with all the comforts of a luxury house. The garden and hot tub were a real hit with everyone. Appledore is lovely, plenty to doand the kids (4, 6 & 7) were kept busy all the time. It’s rare we find a place that entertains the children so well while we get a moment to relax. The master bath and swimming in the quay at high tide are definitely highlights. Truly a good place!
