It provides the perfect location for both sunbathing and boat watching, as well as being an excellent setting for al fresco dining on the terrace.
Its proximity to the water means crabbing is possible whilst sitting on the edge of the balcony during high tide, which is also great for children and adults! Shorewaters Cottage has been sympathetically renovated for holiday lettings and offers stylish living accommodation in neutral, contemporary tones.
It can comfortably accommodate six people and features two double bedrooms, both with river views, a third bedroom with a bunk bed, and a spacious open-plan living/kitchen, and dining area.
There is also a bathroom with a shower over the bath and an additional first-floor wet room. Positioned on a quiet backwater street, Shorewaters is located within easy walking distance of Appledore’s bustling quay and quaint village, which hosts a wide range of cafés, public houses and boutique shops.
From the quay, you can take either the ferry across the river or enjoy the short drive to Instow, which offers a quiet inlet and a dog-friendly sandy beach along with a selection of pubs and restaurants specialising in locally caught seafood.
The historic port town of Bideford is just two miles away, as is the sandy beach of Westward Ho!, which is popular with surfers, windsurfers and beach lovers alike.
Alternative popular beaches, including Croyde, Woolacombe and Combe Martin, are also still within a short drive from the cottage.
There are plenty of local attractions and amenities nearby, including Northam golf course, horse riding stables, an indoor swimming pool, fishing, sailing and water skiing facilities.
Other family attractions include the Big Sheep and Milky Way theme parks, Dartington Crystal Factory, Tapeley Park, the Tarka Trail, which is popular with walkers and cyclists, and the Atlantic Village shopping centre. Whether you’re seeking the perfect base to explore all that North Devon has to offer or the perfect getaway location to relax and unwind, Shorewaters offers it all. Beach 1 mile (by ferry).

Brilliant cottage with stunning views. Appledore is the perfect place for an off-season getaway and Shorewaters had all of the amenities we needed. Our only suggestion would be to improve the air circulation in the first floor bathroom as it got quite damp and smelt of mould. Apart from that the accommodation was faultless and we would definitely stay again - the views are second to none.
