North Devon Holiday Cottage - Halsbury, The Quay, Appledore. - 01392 824450

Halsbury, our delightful 3 bedroom, 6 bed holiday cottage is located on Appledore's historic quayside overlooking Instow & the Torridge Estuary.

The position of Halsbury couldn't be better. It is right at the heart of the action in Appledore.

The ferry across the river to the lovely sandy beach of Instow is just along the Quay. There are pubs, restaurants, cafes and numerous art galleries within very easy walking distance.

The narrow roads behind the Quay (mostly inaccessible by car & hence almost always traffic free and child friendly) offer you a chance to discover some the very old history of Appledore and pop into a range of shops.

Take a walk over to West Appledore via Irsha Street to see the charming ex-fisherman's cottages. Stop at the Royal George or The Beaver (or both!) for refreshment whilst taking in the views across the water.

Westward Ho! just down the road has great surf and is also suitable for children.

Halsbury was originally bought by the owners great, great grandfather who ran a shop at the back of the house.

Halsbury is in a perfect location for many reasons. Being on The Quay, the views and outlook are stunning. Across the water is a lovely sandy beach - ideal for children.

A short walk along the quay, 'George Sands' is a great beach for dog walking at low tide.

The 'Burrows' is another fantastic walking area, a short car ride away.

Nearby Westward Ho! is superb for surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing. The world famous Croyde Bay is a 30 minute drive.

For wet weather days, try the swimming pool at Northam (a couple of miles away) or try Atlantic Village with it's outlet shops and indoor & outdoor play areas for the children.

Along the quaint, narrow streets and drangs of Appledore there are many fishermen’s cottages, some of which date back to the Elizabethan era.

Where the Taw and Torridge rivers meet, sits the delightful quayside village of Appledore, next to the River Torridge.

Appledore boasts a small but great range of shops, pubs, guesthouses and art galleries.

A thriving fishing and trading village since the 14th century, Appledore has been a famous boat-building centre for many years and the shipyard is still active today.

Picturesque Appledore provides a peaceful base from which to explore North Devon, and is close to surf beaches plus the ancient market towns of Bideford, Barnstaple and Great Torrington.

The Quay is very central to life in the village and it is here you will find many activities including fishing trips, crabbing contests on the quay, and sometimes Morris Dancers.

This quaint fishing village has a maze of narrow streets leading to the quay.
