Sailors Rest Hotel - Appledore

Fine views of Instow and the river.

The room was freezing with ineffective heating, causing discomfort throughout the night. I was appalled by the lack of breakfast options and the slow service, prompting me to question the value for money at £120 per night.

The location was great and lovely - within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go. Lots of food for breakfast, which was superb to satisfy everyone.

Fab and incredible position, we truly enjoyed staying here.

Everyone we encountered was very amiable.

The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a fine view of the estuary, especially during sunrise. The breakfast at the nearby pub was really good, with various delicious options and amazing views.

Only stayed one night.

Everything was good, including amicable staff and marvellous location in the middle of the city. The rooms were stylish and tidy with a very comfortable bed, a good view, as example, that's all we needed.

A Spacious room, fine estuary views, super comfy bed, fresh milk provided

A Noisy from pedestrians, steep stairs to climb, limited breakfast venue

Nice bathroom and sea view

The room was spacious with comfortable furnishings and excellent views from the skylights. The breakfast, with good Moroccan pancakes, was a highlight, though it could benefit from a more substantial menu. A small shelf in the shower would enhance convenience, especially for toiletries. Accessible parking made arrival smooth, but clearer signage could help future guests find the hotel more easily.

The room I stayed in was super clean with a great setup, and I really appreciated the fresh milk provided. The view from the window was a real showstopper, especially at sunrise. You couldn't ask for a better backdrop to start your day.

Unfortunately, I had a bit of a tricky experience with the shower cubicle. Even as a smaller guy, I had a tough time not bumping into things. The window blind in my room was a bit short, meaning some light slipped through, which could be bothersome for light sleepers, especially since noise from pedestrians could be heard late into the night. Plus, the key code for the main entrance was less than user-friendly, particularly after dark if you're navigating with less-than-perfect eyesight.

Perfect for Solo Travelers

I was in the attic room. Honestly super comfy bed and the view was something else! I had a lovely walk to get breakfast, staff at the pub were not just friendly, they were downright cute.

The experience was worth every penny.

Slightly noisy from pedestrians but wonderful breakfast and comfortable room with great views

great decor, awesome breakfast, noisy street

The location offered easy self access with spacious ground floor accommodations. We appreciated the well-presented room with fresh milk and a reasonable selection of teas and coffees.

Noise from pedestrians walking past could be a concern for light sleepers.

the view from the breakfast table is fine. parking can be tricky during busy times.

Had an amazing stay! The breakfast at the pub was absolutely fantastic with stunning views, and the room was super clean with a wonderful shower. The steep stairs were a bit tricky though.

Sailors Rest features fashionable and impeccably clean units, complete with thoughtful extra touches like a tea tray. The staff is incredibly helpful, and there's an abundance of superb food available for meals. Its central location is convenient, being just a short 5-minute walk to the bus stop and relatively close to Weston Park Museum.
