Luxury self-catering accommodation in Appledore

Backed by golden sand dunes and tucked between the rivers Taw and Torridge, Appledore is a picturesque fishing town. With family-friendly days out in abundance, this quaint North Devon town offers the perfect base for your self-catering holiday. Appledore’s shipyard still sits proudly in the town and there are detailed explanations of its shipping history in its maritime museum. Children love visiting the mocked-up Victorian schoolroom to get a glimpse of bygone learning methods.

Wandering through the pretty little streets of Appledore you can still buy delicious fresh seafood, and sample the locally made Hocking’s ice cream. Coastal walks are a must when visiting  Devon, and Appledore is on the Hartland Heritage Coast trail, a route that winds along a scenic footpath to a striking peninsula. For water adventures, there is a ferry that makes trips across the River Torridge to Instow where there is a long sandy beach to roam and dip your toes in the glistening Atlantic Ocean.
