A La Mer

This luxurious, family-friendly holiday home boasts panoramic sea views and bags of space for eight guests and three happy hounds. Situated in the peaceful fishing hub of Appledore, this idyllic holiday home connects nature enthusiasts with a network of stunning trails, days at the beach, and exploration of some of Devon's finest countryside.

Head up a small flight of external steps then slide off walking boots and untangle scarves in the entrance hall, and head upstairs to your open-plan living space, where you are sure to take in the incredible coastal views. Warm up chilly toes on the underfloor heating as you make your way into the kitchen for a cup of tea and a few of the best biscuits.

You'll find stylish decor and loads of space for catering for the group here, as well as all the equipment needed to impress your guests. From the lounge, wander out onto the terrace and enjoy lazy evenings of BBQ feasts and watching as the sun sets over the estuary.

Discover sumptuous bedrooms on the ground floor, including a super-king-size and a double, both with en-suites. Finishing off the sleeping arrangements are two cosy twin bedrooms.

There is so much to see and do in this iconic maritime village. Mosey along the cobbled streets, spotting colourful houses as you go and stop for slices of cake and piping hot coffees.

You can also try crabbing off the pier or browse the local galleries for a unique find. For a surfing paradise, visit the seaside town of Westward Ho!, renowned for its sandy beach, seafood restaurants and amusements.

Days out are easy to come by with The Big Sleep, The Milky Way and RHS Rosemoor, all within 10 miles.
