"We've just returned from a brilliant ten day stay at Myrtle Cottage. Appledore is a lovely village to stay in and highly recommended. Myrtle is extremely conveniently located one minute’s walk from the sea front and the local grocery store/deli (excellent) but it's still a quiet location. It is located in the old part of the village which is full of character. The house itself is cottage but very large. The rooms are all big. The kitchen is very well equipped with a large fridge freezer, dishwasher and loads and loads of crockery. There is a washing machine and tumble drier in a separate laundry room. The dining table easily seats 12 and the living room is enormous with a very large screen TV and sky. The WiFi is good especially since phone signal inside the house is poor downstairs. The bedrooms are all comfortable and very pretty. There are TVs in most rooms and some of the bedrooms too. The bathroom is large with a separate shower cubicle. There is a second toilet and wash basin downstairs. Overall, the cottage has loads and loads of character. The furniture is not modern but in keeping with the cottage and not dated. Everything is clean and in good working order.

With regards to the previous reviewer’s comments, there was plenty of cupboard space in all the bedrooms and kitchen. The cottage is certainly not furnished in a minimalist style. There are hundreds of books and lots of ornaments on most surfaces but it all adds character and interesting things to look at. You can easily make space on surfaces. The kids’ bedroom was lovely.

Outside there is lovely patio which is a sun trap. The garden was beautiful in summer and the gates closed so our dog could run around outside in the garden safely. Our small dog was allowed in the house too. There is space for four cars but recommend you reverse in!

All in all, we loved staying in Myrtle cottage. You can also rent the annex which gives you space for another 6 people.

Danielle, the owner, is very helpful and friendly too.

We plan to go back which says it all.

Hope it’s available when we want to return!"
