We stayed in Appledore cottage for 5 nights. We absolutely loved the cottage, it was so cosy, beautifully furnished and so well equipped. Adele & Richard really have thought of everything.
We took the advantage of Adele’s cooking, and we weren’t disappointed. We thouroughly enjoyed homemade chicken curry & Eton mess cheesecake was to die for.
The location of the cottages is set on top of a hill with lovely views.
We ventured out every day. The nearby village of George Nympton has a really good pub , Castle Hill, where we stopped for a gorgeous Sunday roast.
There are many walking and cycling routes nearby and we have tried few of them.
We would recommend Lorna Doone Valley walk, that starts at County gate car park (EX35 6NQ) which takes about 5 miles but it is so picturesque. It will take you through coastal path, through fields and through the small Oare village , that was mentioned in a book Lorna Doone by RD Blackmore . There is also Cloud Farm where you can stop off for wonderful homemade scones with jam and Devon cream, and there is a Lorna Doone well stocked gift shop.
We will definitely come back to explore more of Exmoor .
Thank you Adele & Richard for a wonderful stay at your cottage.
