What The Owners Say

The things we have especially enjoyed are the ever-changing view, the quick access to the Tarka Trail, dog walks on the beach, and that the flat is comfortable and everything works. Other things that have made this a great home are that the flats are well-managed and the residents and the community are friendly and amenable. We’ve enjoyed going on the bus (stops just outside Chandlers Court) to the theatre in Barnstaple and to the Appledore Book Festival. Visiting grandchildren have enjoyed the sports facilities, including tennis, in Bideford, and surfing and body-boarding at Westward Ho and Saunton Sands. The roof space in the flat provides storage for wetsuits and surf boards. The flat is perfect for having friends to stay for long weekends.

A Very Special Feature

The owner has installed 2 nest cameras, one at the front door as you would expect to allow remote conversations with visitors, and one pointing towards the Estuary so that the view can still be enjoyed whilst you are away.
