Discover authentic coastal charm in a traditional fishermen's cottage retreat

Ebb Tide Cottage, Appledore welcomes you with its traditional fishermen's charm and modern comforts. The galley-style kitchen comes fully equipped with an oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine, ensuring effortless meal preparation. Step into the inviting lounge-diner where exposed beams and an imposing stone fireplace housing a wood burner-effect fire create the perfect atmosphere for cosy evenings. Comfortable sofas gather around the Smart TV and DVD player, while a dining table seats four to five guests for memorable meals together.

Venture outside to discover your private patio courtyard garden, complete with table and chairs for delightful al fresco dining and drinks. The cottage offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms across its three storeys: a king-size room on the first floor boasting attractive estuary views and its own TV, a single bedroom also on the first floor, and a charming twin room tucked away on the top floor with spectacular estuary vistas. The first-floor bathroom features a shower-over-bath, while a convenient external WC off the courtyard includes a handy small freezer.

Picture yourself waking to gentle estuary sounds, brewing morning coffee in your traditional kitchen, then stepping onto your private courtyard with a steaming mug. As twilight falls, gather around the glowing wood burner, sharing tales of coastal adventures while the village settles into its timeless rhythm around you.

The bustling Bideford Pannier Market (5 km) offers eclectic artisan crafts and bespoke handmade gifts, while The Big Sheep in Abbotsham (6 km) provides family entertainment with rides, live sheep shows, and guaranteed fun. Dartington Crystal in Great Torrington (17 km) allows you to witness master craftsmen creating glass masterpieces, while Hartland Abbey in Stoke (28 km) offers old-fashioned fun and exploration beyond its historic walls.

Further adventures await at Dragon Archery in Holsworthy (39 km), where premier archery experiences blend historical and fantasy elements with expert tuition suitable for all ages and abilities. This unique attraction offers medieval-themed sessions, Robin Hood adventures, and specialized courses in stunning countryside settings. Meanwhile, Ilfracombe Aquarium (39 km) takes you on a fascinating journey from Exmoor stream to sea, featuring over 75 species of marine life in thoughtfully designed exhibits that showcase the incredible biodiversity of North Devon's waters, from freshwater streams to deep ocean environments. The Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton (47 km) showcases the region's rich history through engaging interactive exhibits covering everything from Bronze Age settlements to Victorian industrial heritage, including fascinating displays on local traditions, wildlife, and the unique culture of Britain's largest wilderness area.

Two delightful market towns offer contrasting charms within easy reach of your holiday base. The historic river port town of Barnstaple, just 18 kilometres away, beckons with its fascinating heritage dating back over 1,000 years. The town's famous Victorian Pannier Market, one of the longest-running markets in the country, bustles with local produce, crafts, and antiques beneath its beautiful glass roof, whilst the surrounding streets feature independent shops and riverside walks along the tidal River Taw. A 35-kilometre drive brings you to pretty Holsworthy, a charming market town that perfectly captures rural Devon's timeless appeal. This friendly community sits amid rolling countryside and offers a traditional market atmosphere, historic church, and serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding pastoral landscapes and ancient woodlands.
