“My view from the attic room across the estuary was superb, a space thoughtfully renovated while retaining its character. The location right on the bay offers easy access to Appledore's eateries and stunning views, though fetching keys from downstairs required a climb. Parking was straightforward, and the fresh milk was a welcome touch for morning tea.”
