Miss Minelli
We had the most wonderful stay at Eight the Quay Appledore. The location was simply unbeatable, with picture perfect views of the quay and across to Instow. The cottage was beautifully decorated it had everything we needed, and the attention to detail made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect on the doorstep are a range of great pubs, cafes and eateries. The hosts were fantastic- checking-in from the moment we booked that we had everything we needed and on hand to offer recommendations advise on the local area if needed. Truly a gem of a place - perfect if you are looking for a relaxing escape in a beautiful place and idyllic setting.

What is not to like about this gorgeous cottage. From the location to the quaint quirkiness to the comfort and all the nod cons. We could not of asked for more. The owners kept in touch from when we booked and nothing seemed to much trouble. Would definitely stay here again. To sit in the morning sun with the Quay just over the road was just a pleasure

Excellent and useful information notes plus welcome email from owner. We really enjoyed our stay in Appledore in this cottage.
