Crabapple Appledore
Appledore, Devon
A refurbished fisherman's cottage for four in Appledore, with river and estuary views towards Instow, a wood burner, a fully enclosed garden and two dogs welcome.
Crabapple is a refurbished fisherman's cottage in one of Appledore's many pretty streets, a short walk from the bustling quayside, and it comes with a fully enclosed, dog friendly garden for two dogs. From the first floor there are lovely views over the Torridge and Taw towards the seaside village of Instow.
Step in and the welcoming lounge greets you with a warming wood burner, logs for the first fire included, and a Smart TV and Blu-ray for a film night; two dogs will have found the hearthside by the opening credits. The kitchen and diner is fully kitted out for nights in, and the family bathroom is on this floor too.
Upstairs are three bedrooms: a king with river views and two singles, one with a trundle bed, which opens out onto the garden. The enclosed rear garden is unusually spacious, with furniture and a BBQ for dinner al fresco, and two dogs have room there to stretch out between walks. A kayak is provided for anyone keen to get out on the water.
Appledore's cobbled streets lead to the quayside, quaint shops, galleries, restaurants and gastro pubs, and the beach is 1 mile away. The South West Coast Path is there for two dogs to roam, the sand dunes of Instow and the golden sands of Westward Ho! are a short drive, and Clovelly and Exmoor National Park are within reach for a day out.

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.
