The property is in a fabulous location right on the quay and you can get the ferry across to Instow daily.
We were lucky to always find a parking space in the car park.
We had a lovely big family room with a large king size bed and wonderful views. The bathroom was big and very well decorated.
Nice little touches including biscuits, milk and tap water complimentary with a selection of items to buy too.
The decor of the pub was lovely and there was good outside space at the front, side and rear (perfect for sitting in the sun).
The food was a little hit and miss but my husband enjoyed the full Devon breakfast that he had every morning.
The breakfast options were good with a fresh selection provided each morning in the bar.
Providing free WiFi, The Royal George offers rooms in Appledore, 3 km from Royal North Devon Golf Club and 5.7 km from Westward Ho!.

The Restaurant was fantastic. All the staff are friendly. Room was basic but very nice, had what we needed. Although we had to walk a bit to accommodation, it was nice walk. Lovely views right next to the water.
Located in Appledore, 3.5 km from Royal North Devon Golf Club and 4.9 km from Westward Ho!, Sailors Rest provides sea views and free WiFi.

Location and look of the room.
The vestibule smelt amazing and so did whatever the bedding and towels had been washed in!
Sacha was so helpful too when we needed to move rooms. Would recommend Sailor’s rest!
Boasting river views, The Boat Yard features accommodation with patio, around 2.8 km from Royal North Devon Golf Club.

****Warning***** Booking.com provided a rate and the vendor subsequent charged a higher price with the excuse that there were two of use not one. Currently in dispute with vendor.
The property is a little run down and jammed in between two working shipyards. While we were there the alarms went off at the shipyard for a couple of hours. See view below
The view of the river is nice. Easy walk to town.

We just came back from a weekend spent there and I must say everything was amazing. We stayed into a cottage and it was very spacious, with 2 showers. It was just opposite their playground and mini golf. Our girl enjoyed that very much and we did, too. Also, the pool was really nice, the water was warm, they had a jacuzzi and 2 saunas. So had plenty of relaxation as well. We would definitely go back.
This 3-star hotel is on the outskirts of the historic port of Bideford and has views over the Torridge estuary. It has free Wi-Fi, free parking, a sauna and an outdoor pool.

Fantastic hotel that is in a great location and great value for money. Loved it.
Situated in Instow, 6.2 km from Lundy Island, The Commodore Hotel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.
Situated in the lively market town of Barnstaple, The Royal & Fortescue Hotel is just a few steps away from designer shops, restaurants, cafés, and the famous Pannier Market.
Very attractive, quaint seaside location. Typical characterful former fishing village with narrow lanes and gorgeous views across to Instow. Many pubs and restaurants serving local caught fish dishes. Parking might be a problem during busy periods of the year though.

The main promenade area is nice enough, couple of good restaurants, The Yard for one, but Appledore is a bit run-down in places. A bit further along is Westward Ho, a fairly low-key, functional place. We drove an hour to Woolacombe and ilfracombe instead. We should have stayed over that way.

Lovely little town. Good walks along the foreshore. Great views across the river. Some nice pubs, especially The Champ. We brought our lab puppy and he had a great time too. Plenty to do and see locally. Recommend a trip to Clovelly and to Instow beach.

A lovely Devon coastal village with a well-stocked shop, a great selection of restaurants and pubs and some lovely walks (although some of the hills are quite steep if you are not used to hills). It is a very friendly place to stay too and is handy for the beautiful beaches of the North Devon coast.
We thoroughly enjoyed The Seagate (dog-friendly) for great food at a good price and the friendliness of The Beaver Inn (which also does great food but we did not eat there as the number of tables available for people with dogs is limited and it is a very popular pub with visitors and locals alike).
We will definitely return!

right on seafront with easy walk to all of appledore. try the 'yard' restaurant new to appledore, plenty places to eat and drink lovely quaint village. we had a lovely cosy and comfortable stay at the seagate during a very wet and windy, cold weekend. staff were lovely.
The setting for this place is gorgeous, right on the waterfront, with a nice spot to sit out the front and indoor space that makes the most of the view. All the staff were incredibly helpful and polite. We stayed in the family room and found its quirky but ample layout rather delightful. We ate breakfast and dinner, both outstanding, with also a very good bar list including cocktails and a good rum selection. Exceptional without being fussy. Appledore is a lovely place for a potter too.
The house was in a great location for visiting places in North Devon. Appledore was about 5 mins away by car, such a lovely place.
We loved the space of the house and also the good views of the estuary. The house was comfortable and quiet and parking was easy which was a bonus! All in all, we had a really lovely break!
Location good even though on more of an industrial site type of location, lovely views from balcony's over the sea, great place to base yourself from to explore the area, a little of a walk into Appledore but not a problem for the visit, all in all a nice place to stay for a weekend.
We loved the cottage, so cosy and comfortable, so near the harbour, shops, and all we wanted to do on a short break , we have been coming down to Appledore and Westwood ho for 60 years so know the area very well, we will be back to Wimbrel in near future, 😀
A lovely hotel having a very welcoming atmosphere. General decoration and lighting throughout the hotel, and adornment of tables - both internally and externally, was excellent at all times. The hotel, our bedroom and ensuite was a very comfortable temperature.
Wonderful comfortable accommodation, it couldn’t have been better, absolutely everything we needed and more. Ideally situated in a quiet area of Appledore. The games room and undercover lockable parking was a big bonus.
Fantastic hotel in Appledore. Our room was very comfortable, clean and a lovely place to relax. Great location on the estuary. Delicious breakfast with lots of options. Dinner and Sunday night pub quiz were excellent.
The apartment was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The location up a hill, within walking distance of Appledore centre was perfect and the view from the windows facing the estuary was amazing!
Lovely Gardens and outdoor seating area to enjoy the lovely views and sunsets. Excellent parking right outside the bedroom suite and easy access to Appledore which is within walking distance.
Lovely property. Comfortable, really well equipped, great location just a short walk to the centre of Appledore. Parking space a real bonus. Nice outdoor space with estuary view.
