Lovely place in Appledore, really well furnished and friendly and helpful staff. Great spot to stay.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Had an excellent stay at Sailors Rest; we had room one which is at street level so some noise was to be expected. Room itself was much larger than expected and bathroom likewise. All freshly decorated and spotless. Parking on the street is a lottery but there is a public carpark within a minutes walk. Location right on the quay and easy access to everything. We were blessed with calm sunny days so each morning the quay was a hive of activity with sailing clubs; fishing boats etc

Exceptional place to stay in Appledore

Wonderful location, beautiful,well equipped and tastefully decorated room and en-suite. Stunning views of Appledore estuary. Breakfast at the The Royal George, just a short walk away, was a brilliant start to the day, locally sourced ingredients expertly cooked, absolutely delicious. Definitely the best place to stay in Appledore.

The rooms, location are fantastic. The only minis I’ve s the luck of double glazing which makes the stay noisy. Everything else is perfect.

Good location

The Sailors Rest is in a good location within Appledore,close to the main car park. The room was clean, as was the communal access. The view from Room 3 was excellent. A shaver point and shelf in the bathroom would be really helpful, but other than that everything was fine.

This superior room could not have a better view of Instow and the river, but the breakfast facility is too far away for a couple in their 70's. Unfortunately a radiator fell off the wall during our stay. It was fixed within a couple of hours of us reporting it, but we didn't receive any personal contact or apology for it. It isn't the cheapest B&B in Appledore but I would stay there again.

OK for a S

The room was pleasant and modern with wonderful estuary views. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided but the lack of housekeeping meant trying to wash cups and glasses in the tiny sink. Towels were not changed and bins not emptied. Breakfast at a nearby hotel consisted of a cooked main course and one drink with guests charged extra for hot drinks if they had fruit juice. I have never encountered such frugality on any previous breakfast inclusive stay.

The room was very spacious and well presented. We stayed in room 1 on the ground floor which is right on the street so you do get the noise of traffic and passers by.

Great stay at The sailors rest

We stayed at the Sailors rest which was a lovely room, very clean although we did find the room quite warm, you would defiantly need a fan in there if it was the heat of summer. There also wasn't much of storage to put your clothes.

4/10 Fair

We’ve stayed here several times, never in room number 6. It was up in the attic so very tight on space and my husband kept banging his head on the eaves. Tv didn’t work and every time a door shut below us it shook the building and was really loud. We’d stay again but not in room 6

Excellent location

Excellent location opposite the quay. We had the ground floor and was really impressed with the size and layout of the room. Very tastefully decorated and clean. Loved the extra touch of coffee machine, milk and bottles of water in the mini fridge. Only criticism is felt the windows needed some privacy from people walking past looking in otherwise excellent room.

Didn’t see anyone as self booking. Comfortable bed, room bit barren hard chairs very plain. Views made up for it.

Appledore Short Stay

Well located, easy self access. We were in Room1 on the groundfloor. Very spacious and well presented. Fresh milk in the fridge, small but reasonable selection of teas and coffees. Good bed linen and towels. Good breakfast at the Royal George, a few minutes walk away. We also had an excellent dinner there. Friendly, attentive staff. 2 small negatives…Slighty noisy from the pedestrians walking past. When you turn the lights off, the green emergency exit light is quite bright. Overall, I’m very happy to recommend Sailor’s Rest.
