Description

Listen to the sound of the waves lapping up the slipway as you drift off to sleep in our delightful cottage.
Parking is available on the Quay, and at the large public Quay car park, 1 minute away.

Catboat Cottage is centrally located on Irsha Street which is famous for its pretty painted houses. Our 200 year-old fisherman's cottage is just a stone's throw from the beach and rockpools, as well as two of Appledore’s best family pubs. A gentle stroll takes you to the bustling quayside, with its impressive array of boats, shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants.

Affectionately nicknamed the Tardis, this deceptively spacious holiday home offers:

King-size bedroom with ensuite
King-size four poster bedroom
Twin bedroom
Ground floor double bedroom with separate shower room
Family bathroom with bath
Comfortable Lounge with hassle-free electric fire
Spacious dining room with seating for 8
Enclosed south facing garden with outside dining area
Wi-Fi
Smart TV/DVD player
Central heating/Electric stoves/Gas fire
Dishwasher/Washing machineTumble dryer/Microwave
Selection of children's books, family games and DVDs
Travel cot, high chair, changing mat and small cutlery (at no extra charge)
Anti-allergy bedding as standard
Pet free and non-smoking
A stone's throw from the beach​

To the rear of Catboat Cottage are enclosed gardens, which can be used for al fresco dining (the kitchen caters fully for home entertaining) and relaxing in the sun.
Younger guests are always welcome.

Appledore is so much more than just a traditional bucket and spade destination.  The local area is renowned as a haven for creativity. Numerous independent galleries and artisan workshops offer a wonderfully eclectic mix of arts and crafts. Some artists exhibit in shops and markets, others have open studios in their own front room. There's also a choice of antique shops where you can browse furniture and ornaments from a bygone era.

Reflecting its artistic qualities, Appledore hosts the annual Appledore Book Festival in September.  Another lively event is the Appledore-Instow Regatta, when gig boat crews race along The Quay to cheering spectators. Those wishing to experience the water first hand have a choice of fishing and sightseeing boat trips, including the seasonal ferry over to Instow at high tide. Appledore also holds the World Championship Crabbing Contest!

Depending on your group size and preferences, you can choose to book three or four bedrooms.  The latter includes the ground floor double bedroom with separate shower room. Reduced rates are available for couples.

PARKING: Due to the age of the cottages in Irsha Street, there is no on-site parking. However, residents can load/unload shopping and passengers outside before parking.
Free on-street parking can be found nearby (25 yds away), linked by a small public footpath adjacent to the cottage.
3 Pay & Display car parks - 2 are 160 yards away, the 3rd is 800 yards away. All offer hourly, daily and weekly parking or you can purchase a tourist permit online. (This can be used in other Torridge district car parks). Please contact me for prices.
The Quay car park offers parking free of charge 6pm-8am.
Blue Badge holder bays are available as well as charging facilities for electric vehicles.

Prices quoted are for 7 night stays. For short breaks of 2 nights or more please get in touch for the rate.

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT: This Year's rates are carried over to next year - these are valid until 31st December 2024.

Catboat Cottage

By Jodie Thomas on 23-Apr-2024

We came here for a long weekend. There was Contact from day of booking which was great, Holly is very pleasant and easy to communicate with. Nothing was to much trouble. As soon as you walked into the property you felt at home, heating was on and cottage was warm, cosy and i would say caters to everyones likes. The character of the cottage is beautiful and made us happy that it is kept and travels through the house. Holly has supplied everything you need for a stay, from condiments to stair gates to towels. I would highly recommend this property and would give more stars if i could. The surroundings complete it, its in a beautiful place and walk away from the water. Holly was also at hand to give advice on local places to eat and visit. Fantastic place and team to deal with will definitely be returning.

Lovely Cottage...

By Rachel P on 19-Aug-2023

Lovely cottage, well equipped, comfortable beds, attentive host, plenty to see and do, either on the doorstep or a short drive away. Ticked all the boxes for our family, thank you Holly!

Wonderful holiday

By ROBERT A. on 13-Aug-2023

Delightful accommodation with plenty of space to for our three generations and what a location. Had not known about Appledore before we went but its just perfect, would definitely reccomend, from the rockpooling and crabbing opportunities with the kids to wandering down to the Coffee Cabin first thing and simply enjoying the holiday atmosphere and estuary views. We finshed with a meal at the Beaver Inn (book early as its busy)- really nice pub. Oh, and not forgetting the Devonshire ice cream from Hockings - its something else.

We booked Catboat Cottage for a second time ...

By Neil Morris on 31-Jul-2023

We booked Catboat Cottage for a second time and we were not disappointed! The cottage is well presented and brilliantly equipped with everything you need. The location is fantastic, very close to the town centre and car park. Holly is a great host too, who is always quick to respond to any queries and questions. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone.

Great Family Holiday

By Robin S. on 25-Jul-2023

We had a wobderful holiday at this lovely well equipped cottage. We loved that we could even hear the sea in bed when the tide was high. Perfect for a family holiday, all as described! Holly took care of all requests in no time. We hope to come again!
