Pros:

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

Average stay
Pros:

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 little find
Pros:

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.

Great value for money
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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
