Guest Reviews
- Michael (10/5): Very comfortable stay in a very well equipped apartment with great views! - Excellent well equipped apartment with fabulous views over the estuary! Arrived early and advised to go into the Flame Factory from around 3pm as staff would be there. Met by Ryan and shown to the apartment and shown how things work! Very comfortable bed and excellent rain shower! For us the stairs to the loft apartment were a bit of a challenge but we expected that and coped as best we could. Appreciated help with bags on arrival and leaving.
- Gina (8/5): Great views, great location - Perfect location, property clean & tidy Bed a bit soft for us, would have been handy to have a mirror next to a plug for drying hair & doing make up
- Jo (10/5): Great place for long weekend - Fabulous location and everything we needed for a long weekend. Nothing
- tim (10/5): -
- Clive (10/5): Perfect - Lovely quirky accommodation in a perfect location.
- Anna (9/5): Incredible views, lovely town, great for walking. - Location was amazing, right on the seafront. We were on the second floor, and there was no noise from the restaurant on the ground floor at all. The restaurant itself is fab - cosy and delicious food, highly recommended! Hosts were lovely.
- Sonja (10/5): -

- Hillier (10/5): It was awesome! Second year in a row. - It’s beautiful! The scenery from the living room is amazing. Grocery is close as are other shops and restaurants.
- Markus (9/5): -
- R (9/5): Perfect base from which to explore Appledore and Instow. - Location was superb, it was an unexpected bonus to be directly opposite the ferry and so close to lovely shops and cafes. Spectacular views over the bay, a spacious lounge, great showers. All very welcoming. These are small things, but the bathroom light coming on automatically and staying on for what feels like several minutes is a bit annoying - the bright light can wake up room mate. Kitchen bin in the drawer is tiny, can there be a bigger one? And smaller side plates for snacks etc.
- alan (10/5): -

Staff
Felt very relaxed Nothing
- Stephen (9/5): - Location and one of the best pizza place!
- Diana (9/5): - Very well equipped apartment and great location. Wonderful seaview. Good choice of local shops and restaurants within walking distance. Parking on the quay or local car park. Just an ideal choice for a short family holiday in north Devon.
- Julie (5/5): Nice apartment in great location but too noisy. - Lovely apartment with fabulous view. Too noisy. Doors slamming from restaurant underneath and closing/ cleaning up at night very noisy.
- Sue (9/5): We had a lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others . - The location of the property is fab, right in the Quay with fabulous views. The smell in the hallway from the restaurant downstairs.
- Emily (8/5): Just what we needed - would stay again - Great location, good price and lovely staff Location and size
- Pete (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucy (10/5): Great couple of days in Appledore visiting family nearby, and enjoying the apartment! - Location fabulous, apartment clean snd comfy and well equipped. Thanks so much! The parking situation was a little difficult as only street parking available that was pretty much always full. Paid parking down the road.
- Francis (10/5): Fabulous accommodation at the heart of the village - Views over the quay and across the river were superb
- Null (10/5): Great apartment in the heart of Appledore - Exceptionally clean, modern and well laid out apartment with facilities. Perfect for a family staying in the area. Staff are always very helpful. Second time staying here and we will go back again! Nothing.
- Emily (9/5): Superb -
- Wendy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wendy (10/5): Appledore Escape - We were travelling as a family of 9 and rented 2 apartments for 3 and 4 nights respectively. Both the apartments were well equipped and comfortable with excellent, interesting views. The staff in the Flame Factory below the apartments were very helpful and communication before our stay was excellent. Parking was an issue during the busy times of the day.
- Susan (10/5): Great apartment. Highly recommend - Good location and very good facilities. Clean and comfortable stay. Nothing!
- Stuart (9/5): Superb -
- Angela (10/5): Brilliant accomodation in a magical location - Loved location and views Nothing
- Michael (10/5): Will return as great location with estuary views and excellent facilities. -
- Chris (7/5): A few days away, very relaxing, well appointed for our purpose - Breakfast not applicable- apartment not B&B... but the pizza restaurant below (same owners) was excellent. Local pubs had varied live music almost every night Not the owners fault, but parking only on busy street, initially we were some distance away. Just a function of Appledore. A microwave might have been expected and useful if not essential.
- Tracey (10/5): Excellent.would definitely stay there again - Great location. Very well presented, clean and very well equipped. Nothing!
- Clare (9/5): Superb - Fantastic view and location, everything was as described and better. Very good value for money too. Parking is free on the quay outside but you have to be quick to get a space..otherwise there is a cheap car park less than mins away.
- Mhairi (9/5): Superb -
- Kris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Neil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): Superb - Great location with views. Apartment is well kitted out. No issues with anything.
The restaurant downstairs is also very good. Full marks to the team there.
- Howardl+ (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
- Stephen (9/5): Superb - Fantastic clean modern loft apartment. Great views and everything was as described. Nothing
- Kishan (9/5): Superb -
- Emma (10/5): Wonderfully comfortable. - Central location. Great views. Lovely loft appartment. Small touches such as the fluffy towels, and milk, tea, coffee provided. Great host. We liked everything, although a microwave, should you choose to eat in, would be useful but far from essential.
- Susan (10/5): It was short and sweet, and certainly blessed with the weather - I am from Appledore originally, and it was a pleasure for me to stay on the Quay, and remember past times. Parking proved to be a bit of a nightmare, but that’s not really a reflection on the property.
- A (10/5): Lovely stay with plenty of room, fantastic facilities and perfect location -
- Julie (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable, clean and beautiful views from window. Really small place but so much going on, really excellent places to eat, interesting art exhibits. Watching activities on the estuary was such a relaxing past time.
- Angela (10/5): Great location, brilliant staff - Excellent location and facilities Nothing
- Sarah (9/5): Superb - Great apartment, great facilities, excellent location, restaurant downstairs has amazing food. Only thing we didn't like was the parking, as when busy it is difficult to find a space, but this doesn't take away from the apartment.
- Stephen (10/5): Loved it - Good property good outstanding location. Best pizza No Washing machine
- Debbie (9/5): Superb - Great place , lovely people . XXx It was all great !
- Stephen (10/5): Very relaxing and a pleasant stay - The location is perfect - great size with amazing views - two en suite showers which were ace. Very handy kitchen space - superb restaurant below as well. N/A
- Lorna (10/5): Brilliant family holiday. - I had not heard of Appledore before, but it was such a lovely location for a family holiday with lovely coffee shops, crabbing, nearby beaches and cycle trails. The apartment was centrally located, spacious with beautiful views. I was worried that being above a pizzeria would be noisy but we couldn't hear any noise from downstairs. No parking with the apartment but lots on street and a nearby car park if they are full. Would highly reccomend.
- Martin (9/5): Wonderful property and stay - Views Nothing
- Vanessa (10/5): Just had the best stay in a beautiful place - Lovely property wonderful views amazing hosts

- Deborah (10/5): Perfect for visiting Appledore and beyond - The staff were very welcoming, making us feel at home straight away. The apartment is spacious and comfortable with great views of the river across to Instow. It is well located for exploring the area as well as for local bars and restaurants. We had a delicious meal in the restaurant below. Nothing
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (10/5): Relaxing & enjoyable -
- Ian (7/5): Lovely place, lovely views. - Not surprisingly, the Fire Alarm going off at 2am was not popular !
The thing is, the owners were not on site, and did not have a direct link to the alarm. It was only because I grabbed my phone as we got outside, that I could find their mobile number, and it took time for someone to come out. The concern must be that if it was in January, and weather was poor, we could have received hyperthermia before getting back in (whole experience was over 30 minutes. I would ask that that the owners revisit their Risk Assessment for the Fire alarms going off.
- Andrew (9/5): We had a great stay, many thanks to Ryan for his welcoming manner and assistance with luggage. - Location is fantastic and the apartment is very comfortable. Loft apartment means lots of stairs and parking is tricky.
- Celia (10/5): Super place to stay in Appledore - Beautiful position on the quay
Top floor apartment full of character & furnished to high standard
Super clean & comfortable
Well equipped kitchen Just a note, rather than a dislike ..... lots of stairs (as you would expect up to an attic.
Again, not a dislike rather than an observation that because your over a restaurant you do get slight cooking smells front the vent, to be honest just made me want to buy pizza!!
- Huw (9/5): Excellent location, excellent staff and the food was excellent - but make sure you book well in advance - The one room had everything. Very flexible.
- Jane (9/5): Superb -
- Steven (9/5): Superb -
- Beth (9/5): Superb -
- Rachael (8/5): Very good -
- Stuart (10/5): Lovely for a few days break and Appledore people are very friendly - Lovely and clean and I am very particular 😀 No lift but understand why
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb -
- Mike (9/5): Superb - Fantastic location. Room service from the restaurant downstairs wa sgreat. Parking was a bit of a lottery.
- Caitlin (10/5): Home away from home - Very modern and large spacious apartment that would easily suit 6 adults comfortably. Fantastic views and even better restaurant underneath owned by the owners who were beyond accommodating
- Michelle (8/5): Very good -
- Julia (10/5): Totally Enjoyable - Delightful welcome, including allowing us to order dinner from their restaurant at closing time. Great shower, comfortable bed, spacious living room, best kitchen appliances and calming view.
- Liane (9/5): Brilliant views over estuary, clean, comfortable and super friendly and helpful hosts - Self catering but the food downstairs in the Flame Grill was excellent We were bothered by loud noise from the property next door at 6.00 am which went on for a good hour
- Tim (10/5): Excellent short break from home! - The light and airy, spacious accommodation was a treat. It was individual, with quality furnishings and equipment. The views were also wonderful! Nothing really.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Great location and views, excellent pizza. - Location was excellent with superb views over the estuary. The staff were all great, helpful and friendly, and the Flame Factory restaurant served really good pizzas. Nothing to dislike.
- Angela (10/5): Great place to stay, owners very welcoming - Great setting
Beautiful building
High quality furniture and appliances Nothing
- David (10/5): Great place to stay in Appledore - Excellent loft apartment, well equipped and in a great location. Hosts were welcoming and helpful. Food downstairs in The Flame Factory was first class. Can't fault this place! Nothing
- Nanda (10/5): Unforgettable - Very nice The views
- Steve (10/5): 5 stars, food was amazing and the apartment was exceptional, we all loved it - Lovely, clean spacious and very welcoming Nothing
- Peter (10/5): Did't use the car for a week - Jayne was in touch with me by messenger all through my journey to ensure the handover was smooth. I'm not going to put this in the didn't like section, but an offer to book a table in the restaurant would have been handy. The restaurant is excellent and always fully booked. So I would recommend that the hosts either offer or the traveller requests. Additionally, we parked the car and didn't move it for a week. We either used the local bus service which was phenomenal or the ferry across to Instow. I would also recommend John's deli, next door, for breakfast. Nothing, thiswas a perfect stay. The stairs to the loft were a bit knackering, and being under 5' 10" was definitely an advantage. However offers of help were always forthcoming. This is an excellent location and a quality apartment.
- Mark (9/5): Happy in Appledore - Very friendly and helpful staff, stunning location and great restaurant downstairs. Beautiful views across the estuary from the apartment. Would definitely come back.
- Gavin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great apartment with amazing sea view. - Great apartment with amazing sea view. Can be a bit noisy in the evening as it’s above a restaurant. Probably not suitable for young families or anyone who’s a light sleeper wanting to go to bed before 11. But fine for us. No on-site parking (description not accurate). Loads of free parking on the street. Hosts were great and very friendly.
- Neil (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location for a nice weekend away.
- Jill (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katie (10/5): A superb place to stay in Appledore - I would stay there again - The apartment is in a perfect location in Appledore. It is very well designed and very clean - a lovely size and very comfortable for a family. The kitchen was well equipped so you could cook for yourselves if you wanted. Jayne was very welcoming on arrival, which was a nice touch after a long journey. I recommend eating at the restaurant below the apartment - great food and service. Nothing - it was absolutely perfect!
- Trude (10/5): The owner really go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as comfortable as you could wish for - Fantastic views the fact it was a studio flat so you could cook etc Stairs lol but it’s called the loft so should of be expected
