Tucked down one of Appledore's pretty lanes, this cottage gets top marks for location. A traditional fishing village with a buzzing quay, you'll find plenty to do nearby – including independent shops, local restaurants, traditional pubs, and access to the South West Coast Path. Further afield, just over 2 miles away, is Westward Ho! – perfect for a beach day. The cottage itself is cosy and set up well for families. Keen cooks will find everything they'll need in the kitchen. The living space is a bit pared-back, but we think it's a practical option for those keen to explore North Devon.

Home truths
All three bedrooms and the main bathroom are upstairs, on the first level. However, there is a ground-floor WC here for ease.
This home lacks a bit of charm, but we think the location more than makes up for it.
