1 / 24Crabapple Appledore
Appledore, Devon
The cheapest week on our Devon list, a cottage in Appledore's cobbled streets with a good sized enclosed rear garden, two dogs welcome and the water in view.
Four hundred and fifty three pounds is the cheapest week in Devon on this list, and it buys a three bedroom cottage in the middle of Appledore rather than something on a park outside it. Crabapple sits in one of the cobbled streets behind the quay, with a wood burner, a ground floor bathroom, water views across to Instow from the first floor, and two dogs welcome.
The rear garden is enclosed and a good size, reached through the small single room on the first floor, which is an eccentric arrangement and worth picturing before you arrive. Once you are out in it the dogs have their own ground. Beyond the village, Saunton Sands is four and a half miles out and it takes a nine from us, the Tarka Trail three and level all the way, and Westward Ho a shade over two and a half.
A two dog allowance at this price is the headline, and Appledore itself is the rest of the argument. The quay, the pubs, the shops and the working boatyards are all on foot from the door, so the car stays where you left it and the dogs get walked through a village that still does something for a living rather than round the edge of a car park. For a first trip with a nervous dog, somewhere every walk starts at the front door is worth a great deal.

Is Crabapple Appledore dog friendly?
Yes, Crabapple welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has a good-sized enclosed rear garden where your dogs can have their own space, and the location in Appledore's cobbled streets means walks start straight from the front door — no driving to find somewhere to stretch their legs.
Are dogs allowed at Crabapple Appledore year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and with a starting price of £453 a week it appears to be available as a year-round option. For confirmation of availability at specific times of year, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Crabapple Appledore with my dog?
The enclosed rear garden is reached through the small single room on the first floor, which is an unusual layout — worth picturing in your mind before you arrive so it doesn't catch you off guard. Beyond the village, Saunton Sands is four and a half miles away, the Tarka Trail is three miles and completely level, and Westward Ho is just over two and a half miles, so there's plenty of scope for bigger days out too.
