Lovely cottage with amazing sea views

The Old Boat Yard is a lovely old cottage in Appledore. Situated on the sea side of Irsha Street, there are beautiful views from the patio garden and first floor terrace, across the estuary to Braunton Burrows, The cottage is comfortable, homely, well-equipped and full of character. Communications with Richard were easy and he was very helpful. We had a wonderful break and will certainly stay here again.

100% Relaxation guaranteed

This was our 2nd stay in the summer holdays and it always delivers 100% relaxation. As two teachers who live in the West Country, we totally appreciate how rare it is to find a seaside space that is not heaving with people in the 6 weeks summer holidays. The mesmeric views of the estuary and the walks along the coast to the Burrows or across the estuary at instow of Crow point are brillinat for dog walkers and with very few people. The property was as spotless as ever. We will definitely be booking agian.

a lovely place for rest and relaxation with a view of the estuary at both high tide and ow tide.

Clean, comfortable but outside could do with a little clean up especially the conservatory roof. Moss and weeds spoil a lovely roof.

This is probably our 6 or 8 visit over many years, we can't remember, but as always really enjoyed our stay and were blessed with fantastic weather. This is a great house especially if you either come as 2 families or with friends. Crabbing still enjoyed at high tide by all ages. Hockings ice cream eaten every day and lots of swimming and cream teas (Doctor Mill the best). Will be back for sure.

Amazing place

We had an amazing week here. It was the perfect place to completely relax for us in the busy summer 6 week holidays. We could close the qorld away and sit for hours in the conservatory looking at the scenery. The house had everything we needed and with the lovwly quiet town of Appledore only 2mins walk away, we could pop there for anything we needed. Thanks for the perfect summer break Richard et al, we will definitely be back.

A memorable visit

Really perfect. Wonderful views, charming rooms, with room for everything…Lots of comfortable seating, shelf and closet space. The heating system was easy to use, and the fire place too. The house was within walking distance of pubs, and shops and even the ferry over to Instow…we visited out of season so parking was also no problem. All in all a memorable visit, we’ll worth the time and money. Thank you The Wilson’s, Alexandria, Virginia

The house is in a perfect location.

The house is in a perfect location. Close to all that Appledore has to offer and only a short walk from the car park. The house is well set up, offering sleeping accommodation on two levels. The view from the conservatory, overlooking the estuary, is stunning. We were even able to enjoy crabbing over the garden wall when the tide was in! A fabulous holiday was had by all ages in our extended family.

Gorgeous views, lovely house but you must be able to cope with stairs

Lovely house with the best stocked and best equipped kitchen you could imagine. The views over the estuary are fabulous, and the sun lounge a perfect spot to sit and relax. Only two problems with the property as far as we were concerned - no parking at the property and no toilet on the 'living' level. But we were an unusual party - two very elderly ladies and two carers, plus two dogs!

Superb location

Excellently presented, well maintained and stocked property in a stunning waterfront location. A real home from home, the ‘honesty’ arrangements in the kitchen mean a break from the usual holiday chore of trips to the supermarket for various items that you find you need! Free Parking can be a bit of a bind so sensible thing is to pay the weekly rate at the pay and display and relax!
