Appledore is a great place and the cottage is ideally situated close to pubs, chip shops and eateries.

Whimbrel Cottage was warm, welcoming and well appointed. Apart from not being able to bring our car to the property because of the narrowness of the lane ( which you can’t fix!) the property is wonderful and the bed extremely comfortable. Our furry friend was also well catered for.

We had a relaxing 5 nights at Whimbrel Cottage, which was a cosy and comfortable place to stay in January with effective hearing, efficient log burner and planty of hot water! The location is perfect - so close to great restaurants and pubs (with lots of live music)as well as the estuary. Appledore has so much to offer and Whimbrel Cottage provided ideal accommodation for a winter break!
