Basil Cottage

If 'sitting on the dock of the bay' sounds like a dream holiday escape, then look no further than Appledore a traditional north Devon fishing village with narrow winding streets and colourful homes. Boasting a prime position on the quay with views out across the estuary over towards Instow is the charming Basil Cottage. As perfect for families as it is for couples or a solo traveller, the warmest of welcomes awaits at this gorgeous cottage.

This traditional terraced cottage has been beautifully and sympathetically refurbished from top to toe with no expense spared, whilst retaining the original charm and character with its coastal inspired interiors. No matter the season, this home offers the perfect base to explore miles and miles of coastal paths, sandy beaches and hidden coves; not forgetting several pub lunches along the way where a sea shanty is sure to be heard. No day will be the same and in no time at all, you will simply slip into holiday mode and inhale all that north Devon has to offer and relax.

Basil Cottage provides not only the best location but a cottage that offers style throughout. From the open plan ground floor, the fully equipped kitchen offering the perfect spot to rustle up an all-important first morning brunch, savoured around the dining-table with views out to the quay! Head upstairs to the first floor where you will discover a peaceful sitting-room with views up and down the estuary, a reading nook and a luxury bathroom for good measure. At the end of the day when slumber calls, head up to the second floor where you will discover two rather special bedrooms both offering a feeling of calm and tranquility. From the window of bedroom one you have an ever-changing seasonal picture of the quay and tidal estuary waters. Last but by no means least, head up to the converted loft where another surprise awaits. A second sitting-room with sloped ceilings; the place to chill out on the low-slung chairs gathered around the Smart TV - it's the perfect hangout escape for the younger trendy members of the family!
