Great location on sea front. Very dog friendly. Lovely staff, very friendly, went out of their way to seat us out of the way with our very nervous dog when we ate our meals, which was appreciated 😊
Rooms were clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Dog bowls etc, in the room.
Food was fantastic and breakfast was amazing.
Managed to park on site on first night, but public parking was only over the road, so really wasn’t an issue the following night.
Would definitely return.
Thank you

Completely exceeded our expectations. Firstly Paul is a great host and warmly welcomed us and armed us with lots of useful information about the local area. The room was lovely, full of character but with all the mod cons. Comfortable bedding, big fluffy towels and a powerful shower. Superb breakfast cooked to order - high quality ingredients and excellent service. We booked last minute and had expected somewhere simple just to stay for one night and ended up having a really lovely night away. Would definitely stay again if looking for somewhere in the area.

Welcoming staff, exceptional breakfast and dinner.
Beautiful building and everywhere very clean. First class
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.
We had a brilliant stay. The hosts were lovely, the apartment was a perfect social space for the 4 of us and was very comfortable and clean. The Flame Factory (restaurant downstairs) was amazing. In fact the food was so good we ate there both nights - 2nd night the food was delivered to the apartment as no tables free in the restaurant - amazing service!! The apartment was also very quiet - you would not know you were above a restaurant. Would highly recommend staying at The Appledore Factory Apartments - 5 stars!
Liked the room but was in a separate building to the hotel/pub 150 yards away which we weren’t made aware of. Beautiful room but window was on the pavement and anyone walking b could look into our room so had to keep the blinds shut hence missed the sea view at all times in the room. Check in time advertised as 2pm on booking.com and also stated on hotel info in room though couldn’t get in til 4.30. Free water tea and coffe but high charges for any snacks in the basket. Lovely shower though noisy fan.
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.
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!
Beautiful location, both for the view and for the close proximity to the pubs and restaurants of Appledore. Nice old cottage with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
