Catboat Cottage has been part of our lives now for over 20 years. Our love for Appledore has blossomed over that time and is always our special place. Affectionately nicknamed the Tardis by my children, it certainly does appear much larger on the inside than the outside! There's plenty of space to relax and unwind after a day on the beach or visiting one of the many local attractions. I'm always astounded at how such a small village can offer so much. I love all things creative so whether it's the local galleries (some in the artist's own homes) the abundance of live music, or the Appledore Book festival hosting famous authors to give talks, it always leaves me in awe. Alongside this imaginative community is the tidal estuary as its back-drop. Ideal for water-sports, fishing and boat trips, for me there's nothing more relaxing than taking your coffee down onto the beach in the morning to watch the tide turning. The coastline has grown with our family and whether it's just us, our extended family or a group of friends, there is something for everyone to do which is part of what makes the area so relaxing and effortless.
