  • "The cottage was lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean there were just a couple of things that are needed more hanging space for clothes which could easily be done as there are too large wardrobe spaces and an information booklet for where to put rubbish out and where to operate the central heating which we did find ourselves apart from that everything was excellent thank you."

    Thank you for your kind feedback, which is very much appreciated. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Applestow cottage and do hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Ben and Emma. Property Owner

The property

Applestow is a delightful, victorian cottage nestled in the heart of Northam, Devon.

Perfect for families and couples, this pet-friendly abode makes a fantastic base for those seeking a seaside getaway.

A recent top-to-bottom restoration of the cottage provides a truly wonderful and memorable stay, all within striking distance of Westward Ho! with its golden sandy beach as well as the small fishing village of Appledore.

Step inside to discover the wonderful living/dining room, where you are welcomed by the warmth and ambiance of the woodburning stove.

Enjoy the colder months, relaxing by the fire and catching up on your favourite Netflix shows.

The well-equipped kitchen will entice any budding chef to rustle up an evening meal for the family, while the dining area offers plenty of room to host a special occasion.

When the evening comes to a close, head to one of the two plush bedrooms, to prepare for a new day of adventures ahead.

Savour a moment of relaxation in a soothing bath, or get ready for the day by jumping into a refreshing shower.

When weather permits, step outside into the rear courtyard for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine on the furniture provided, and let your furry friends catch some fresh air too.

Northam is a historic market town, civil parish, and electoral ward in Devon, England, lying north of Bideford.

The civil parish also includes the villages of Westward Ho!, Appledore, West Appledore, Diddywell, Buckleigh, and Silford.

There is plenty to see and do in and around the area.

The north Devon coastline has some of the best beaches around - perfect for sailing, surfing, or enjoying the breathtaking views along the South West coast paths.

Royal North Devon Golf Club is a stone's throw away with its close links to Applestow Cottage, this being the birthplace of J.H Taylor five times British Open golf champion.

For those who love their food, there are some great places to enjoy locally including Moran's in Westward Ho! The Pier House with its wonderful sea views and for more formal dining, Memories restaurant in the village square is a real gem, but you’ll have to book early for a table.

Guests and local residents love the safety, peace, and family-orientated environment this popular village provides.

There is a real sense of community within Northam and the surrounding areas and those who visit often return time and time again.

In terms of parking, due to the cottage being close to the center of the village, parking is on street and not allocated.

If you are not able to park right outside the cottage you will generally find parking very close by as there are lots of streets that offer parking, such as Lenards Road, Burrough Road, or Chope Road.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
