Seagate

Spacious clean modern room (room 19) overlooking the estuary. Short walk to pub for breakfast/food. Beautifully appointed with amenities, hairdryer, heaters, coolers, tea coffee biscuits etc. Easy access to great walks, shops at Bideford etc

Parking was safe and easy. No central a/c or heating in room, just a small fan.

Fantastic view from bedroom 20. Beautiful food served in the restaurant and best breakfast I’ve been served in a long time.

We had a brilliant stay here we were made to feel very welcome and felt relaxed and chilled. The location is wonderful by day and by night. The atmosphere is friendly.

Lovely with a gorgeous view

fourth time we have stayed - so we do like it this time we had a bedroom in the annexe - the room was for disabled access which was not what i booked the bed was a double so too small for 2 to sleep in comfort and there was no ventilation or air conditioning so it was stifling

First impressions weren’t great as the man on reception was unfriendly and bordering on rude for the majority of our stay. We had requested a dog friendly room with a view of the sea, and the booking stated a king sized bed. Our room was small with a double bed and frosted window, although did have a dog goodie bag, bed and bowl which was a nice touch. The room was exceptionally hot, even with the fan supplied. The room was also very noisy-particularly as the hotel appeared to do all of its glass recycling at 7am on a bank holiday Monday right outside of our window! Our evening meal was disappointing. There was a very helpful young chap working on the Monday morning who offered us help taking our bags to the car. The town itself is lovely with nice walks.

Great pub Fantastic Ploughmans!

Beautiful location on the estuary. Rooms above a pub and an older building so a bit noisy at times. But very comfortable rooms, staff were amazing and very helpful. Would stay again.

We had a family room which was very luxurious for two people. Comfortable, spacious and with 3 windows overlooking the quayside. Everything clean, with well thought out design in bathroom etc. Highly recommended.

Excellent value for money and great location. Staff very friendly and pub downstairs is nice. Room is well equipped with a lovely bathroom and shower, and nice big bath towels. Room comfortable. A little warm as windows don't open.

The location in Appledore is fantastic. A loveley quiet unspoilt spot on the river Torridge and Taw estuary. Unfortunately the room was very cramped. The bathroom was very cramped too and badly ventilated. A bad drain smell. Quite a lot of money for this average standard. Disappointing.

Lovely spacious room with estuary view. Great position by the estuary, good food both lunch and dinner, good service. Reasonably priced. Def recommend.

Very nice stay thank you Good parking and the food was also very good.

Friendly staff, nice amenities, good food. Great atmosphere - enjoyed watching the tide come in and out, loved the baby seagulls outside our window; enjoyed the local brass band in the evening. Beds could have been better - tended to roll off the bed as higher in center

Lovely few days away, Hotel staff were very good, food was great, good selection of drinks. Only disappointment was the room got exceptionally hot and stuffy, even with a fan.

Lovely spacious attic room

Fantastic position on the promenade. Great food and friendly staff.

Fantastic room with lovely Estuary views

A lovely experience

It was lovely being across from the water. The dinner and breakfast were excellent and the serving staff were very friendly and capable.

Unfortunately the service at breakfast was slow Food was good but expensive. Need for blinds on street side windows on room 4

Fabulous welcome from the manager, he went above and beyond to give us the best experience. We had a very nice roon with a beautiful view of the estuary. We enjoyed a very nice evening meal in the restaurant and drinks from the well stocked bar. All staff were super friendly and happy to help. I totally recommend the Seagate!

Nice hotel/pub bar in a good location. Lovely views....my only gripe was the room was very cold on arrival.

Had a lovely visit to The Seagate on Saturday 8th, Sunday 9th and left Monday 10th. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The room was lovely. The only thing the bed was a bit hard. But I guess it’s a matter of preference. Food was fab. Had a wonderful weekend away.

A very nice stay in Appledore, one night of a longer trip. The staff is exceptionally professional, and nice. My room was clean and comfortable, and dinner in the Pub delicious!

All the staff were very friendly and helpful nothing was to much trouble if they could help you in anyway they did. We have stayed there a few times and its just got better would not hesitate in highly recommending The Seagate..

Better than expected. Great accommodation but also a great pub. The food was excellent and cooked breakfasts set us up perfectly for the day. The staff could not have been more helpful and helped to make our weekend perfect.

We enjoyed our stay. We had a room in the Annex. It was a disabled access room which we do not need with a very small sink which was not fit for purpose for us. No mirror in the bedroom. Blinds unfortunately let the street lighting in. We were only there for a couple of nights if it had been longer we would have requested to move.

Great place, BUT the Rooms need remodelling. Our room had massive amount of water stains and a hole (gòod size) in one of the walls.

Such a lovely cosy stay. Staff all very friendly and happy to help with anything. The room was immaculate. Lovely local touches to the room. We did have a family room for a couple well worth it, And lovely view over the water.

Staff are very friendly and helpful

Delicious food, helpful and polite staff, and clean, comfortable, spacious rooms.

The downstairs of the pub was lovely and had a great range of food and had a lovely feel, had really high hopes for our stay. Some of the staff were great and very welcoming, but did have to wait a while to be checked in and out as some of the staff were busy messing around behind the bar rather than serving us and other customers. Room provided was not like any that were displayed on the listing photos which was really disappointing. It’s was a lot lower on the scale of modern or done up but there were still some nice features about the place. The room was covered in ‘fixes’ that were done poorly and not fried properly, and there was a lot of damp in the room, showing drip marks and wet patches on the walls and giving off a slightly musky smell. There was mold in the bathroom too and the plumbing for toilet and bath was quite poor as didn’t drain, which was a shame as apart from the above it looked really lovely. The bathroom was well stocked with good toiletries which was appreciated. Quite chilly in the evening as the windows didn’t close properly and the electric heater in the room was broken. The bed was not too bad, it was presented nicely but was rather uncomfortable and there were hairs in the bed when we first checked in. There were hairs in the bedding when we first checked in too. Some nice aspects of the place but was a shame there were so many smaller things that made it not the best stay.

Had a family room in the annexe overlooking the river. Very spacious for us and the dog. The only negatives a bigger fridge would have been nice for a week's stay. And there was workmgoing on at the building next door so a bit noisy but would definitely stay again

Overall the room was clean and tidy,Bathroom needed the grout seeing to,other than that everything was fine.

The room had potential to be really nice. It's modern with nice facilities, but it was sadly very dirty, floors and furniture very dusty, badly in need of a proper clean. When you got onto the bed after walking on the floor, all of the dust and hairs gathered on the bed! The mirror was filthy, you couldn't see in it. We also didn't know (as it's not shown anywhere on the booking or explained when you book) that not everyone stays in the actual hotel building, Like us, we checked in and had to stay in a place a road or two down, so not onsite. So that was a shame.

Stopped here just for one night, I would definitely stay again. Nice room, lovely view and staff all very friendly. Appledore a good place to use as a base to explore the area. We'll be back.

An excellent short stay, room very comfortable, friendly service and a delicious breakfast.

Waterfront hotel with sea views. Friendly, efficient service and warm welcome. Will definitely stay again.

Great greeting and room well equipped but otherwise average. Food average as was the service of this. A mixed bag but perhaps reflected in the price!

A lovely place to stay, staff very helpful and happy Room was lovely and clean

The Seagate was on the estuary in lovely Appledore. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We stayed here before and after a trip to Lundy. The first night was in room7 which was spacious and you could just about see the sea. The second night in room 9 which had a completely frosted window and was small. The pub food was good. I particularly liked the ceasar salad . Would return.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. A god room with a seaview

The room was beyond expectation. The bed was huge. There was a seating area. There were four windows providing four different views of the estuary. The ensuite bathroom was also beyond expectation. Really warm. No tap end on the stand alone bath. big walk in shower. A great stay. We will be back.

Our hotel Seagate was amazing. The staff very helpful & polite. Our room was fantastic 4 windows with views from all windows of the estuary. Even had parking. Would highly recommend.

Great place to stay! Very dog friendly. Room was very nice with nautical theme. Staff were excellent. Appledore is a lovely little town with great views and old fashioned streets to explore. Highly recommend this hotel

Booked the seagate based on online photos and wasn't disappointed. Warm welcoming and cosy , open fires comfty bar and rooms. Well stocked rooms tea and coffee refilled every day , hamper of treats in room you pay for only what you eat. Breakfast and evening meals were top notch fresh and local and good size portions. Staff were amazing very helpful, sorting tables for evening meals and recommending drinks ( blood orange gin ) our was overlooking sleepy street's ( chocolate shop and fish bar) room was spacious and well equipped. Loved our stay so much have booked for sane time next year

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful hotel. Staff were so helpful and kind. Food was great and the location was amazing. We will be back. Thank you

Feel additional charges for cooked breakfast and coffee somewhat steep at 17 pounds Also dog charge at 15 per night . Good service and food

Nice location-good staff.

The hotel is close to shore and handy for enjoying walks. It is a friendly homely hotel and the staff are very helpful and obliging and very importantly it is dog friiendly and their every need is catered for. I would certainly stay there again.

Friendly service. Comfortable room. We had a nice meal in the pub. Good news if you're coming by car: there is free parking along the quay.

Stayed in room 14 the Quays, which was designed for disabled persons (we weren't) , which we question as not much space if wheelchair used. The sink was small and low down which was not very good for hubby at 6 foot+. The room was kept clean and serviced daily. The only real down side wasinternet access which was intermittant at best and only at certain times of day, you could not use 2 devices at same time. Overall stay was great and gave us a nice break.

Charming bedroom , though a tad small, with lovely views out to the estuary . Really liked the original decor and attention to detail, with welcome homemade cookies a nice touch . Bed comfortable and bed linen and towels top quality. Bathroom spotless and gorgeous toiletries to make use of . We didn’t eat in the pub , preferring to use smaller local businesses in the town .

We checked in at The Seagate for a twin bed room which we believed we were booking and paid for. The staff member who checked us in, then told us that the room is a short walk away. She took us to the room and left us. Outside the building it was written the Quay Hotel, Appledore. I cannot tell you if The Seagate and The Quay hotel is the same thing but we were not awarded. The room and bathroom were not very clean. The toilet roll has not been changed, in fact the toilet paper ran out in the evening and we had to use our own tissues. The shower screen has not been wiped and rude words appeared when the screen steamed up. The sheets appeared clean but I found two small insects running around. The room was very warm and there was no fan, we could not open the window as it faces the pavement and people could see directly in, we had to leave the shutters close for privacy and safety for the night. It was very noisy till very late in the night. To sum up, we were very pleased that we were leaving first thing the next morning. We did not have much interaction with the staff apart from a brief check in and check out, so we could not comment. We had breakfast before leaving and the breakfast was fine.

Excellent hotel overall. Parking, very clean and great staff. The niggles: Room was very small and limited lighting and no view. Maybe got the box room as booked with Hotels.com and not direct.

Another amazing trip to The Seagate- great job all!

Great experience overall . Food was perfect couldn't fault.

A lovely quiet hotel overlooking the sea front. The staff were friendly, going out of their way to help. There was a good variety of food, especially for breakfast. Only downside for me were the stairs, but the exercise did me good ! Would like to return in the future, thank you to all the staff.

Very convenient easy to get to

Lovely hotel and always stay there when down. Service is exemplary and rooms in very good condition. Unfortunately certain rooms face the side street with bright lights and neon shop signs and the room blinds do not block this out. Also a very windy night sees the windows rattle all night.

The staff(especially Michelle) We’re excellent

Amazing location and hotel accommodation was fabulous.

Tiny room, barely room between double bed and either wall. Advertised as a king bed and room wasn’t one of any shown online. Asked reception in the morning and advised I “clicked happy” and they had better rooms! Yet only one advertised? Wouldn’t stay again.

Fabulous hotel, beautiful room with excellent facilities. Public area beautiful with a vibrant lively Bar/restaurant. Food was excellent and all the staff were super friendly and efficient. Best hotel I’ve stayed at this year. Highly recommend.

The room was pleasantly designed, though offering little space on one side of the bed for a second person to shuffle through to the bathroom at night. Mean little glass teacups were on offer for morning tea/coffee - go anywhere else these days and full-size mugs are “de rigeur!” Who wants to go to and fro from the bed to top up the finicky little dainty teacups! Not modern travellers! We chose to eat dinner at SEAGATE. The dishes were tasty & nicely presented but way over-priced, especially the lentil and squash recipe. Only a handful of diners were in (it was a Wednesday) and staff were dressed very casually and exhibited behaviour to match - jokily calling out personal conversations between kitchen staff to serving staff across the length and breadth of the rooms in which expensively paying guests were dining. The managers were apparently away visiting their home/family. Individually the staff on duty were personable and very relaxed …. but it was all too casual, and very unprofessional.

Great location, amazing property with the best bathroom I’ve ever used at a hotel, great view over to Instow

Room fantastic, manager was super nice on checking in and showing us to our room. Food was slightly disappointing.

Good location and friendly staff. Food very expensive for the quality which was ordinary pub grub.

Well run hotel, very helpful staff, we enjoyed our short stay

Very comfortabke hotel with spacious room in an excellent location. Friendly staff but very poor breakfast.

A very good 1 night stay, in a very nice room. The only thing missing was a full length mirror in the room. Every thing else was great.

Very disappointed that we did not stay in the hotel but walked to an apartment block half way down the high street. We had booked because we had seen the hotel being renovated and was interested in staying to see what it was like. The room that we stayed in had a broken shutter. My recommendation is to check where you are "actually" staying as there are cheaper & better alternatives if you are not staying iin the hotel!

Very nice room

What a fantastic stay! After a warm welcome we were shown our suite which had sea views from every window. The whole place was very clean and attractive. The staff are very friendly and informative. The locals are welcoming and happy to tell you places to try. We will be back

An amazing little gem of a place. Very dog friendly, in fact I think having a dog is a prerequisite. Wonderfully friendly staff. Comfortable beds, large rooms and huge fluffy towels. I would definitely recommend.

Good location in this little and friendly town of Appledore. Welcoming and cozy good food and service

Superb staff and great dog friendly hotel. Thank you so much x
