Premier Inn Bideford ★★★★

📍 Atlantic Park Way, Bideford

"Pleasant and efficient check-in with friendly, helpful staff throughout our stay. We booked a Premier Plus room, which was spotless, comfortable and well maintained. We genuinely couldn't fault our visit. This has become our go to hotel whenever we visit family in Devon, and once again it provided everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We will definitely be returning on future visits and would happily recommend this hotel to others."

Sailors Rest ★★★

📍 20 The Quay, Appledore

"2nd time staying here & was once again very impressed. Bright clean room, beautifully presented & overlooked the estuary so had incredible views. Breakfast was served at the Royal George just a short walk away. Fridge in room was handy for holding some cold drinks. Rain shower was easy to use but be aware if you are on the bigger side as the door to get in was quite narrow. Will be back for sure!"

The Seagate ★★★

📍 The Quay, Bideford, Appledore

"Recently enjoyed a fabulous three night stay at the Seagate and will certainly be staying again. The room was excellent as was the view ,room had everything you could possibly need from hairdryer,iron and ironing board to a beautiful basket of snacks should you get the midnight munchies. Had a small issue with the shower that was fixed by the time we arrived back from our day out even though we had insisted it was fine for us and they could leave it until we'd checked out great service! Staff were all lovely from housekeeping to front of house,bar staff ect . Special mention to Chris and Tom at checkout."

Instow Barton

Instow Barton ★★★★

📍 Rectory Ln, Instow

"Lovely B&B on quiet country lane, a few minutes walk from the SW Coast path. Caroline and Colin were very welcoming hosts and cooked us a delicious breakfast (best pancakes I’ve had). The room was spacious, with comfy beds and views out over the churchyard. Homemade cake in the room on arrival was a nice touch as well. Short walk to good restaurants (we had a decent meal at the Boathouse). Looking forward to returning next year to pick up the path again. Thanks so much for a lovely stay."

"Lovely friendly, locals pub. We ordered a couple of baguettes for lunch and they were huge and very delicious and fresh. Reasonably priced too. The bar staff and chef were really nice and chatty. We sat in the little garden which is a real sun trap."

Sailors Rest ★★★
"We stayed at the Sailor’s Rest for 2 nights at the end of August and found it to be good value considering the time of year. We managed to park for free just outside on the road without any trouble. Check in was straightforward – the instructions were clear and we got into the building and collected our key easily from the secure key box. Our room (no. 6) was up in the loft space. It was cosy, clean and nice and quiet. No view from the bedroom itself as it only had skylights, but the bathroom had a lovely sea view. The Nespresso machine and fridge were nice additions. We paid a bit more to have breakfast included, which meant walking down the road to the Royal George. Some previous reviewers seemed to see this as a downside but we actually enjoyed the short stroll each morning, even in the rain one day. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and definitely worth it. Overall, a really comfortable stay and somewhere we’d happily book again if ever in the area."

Wayfarer Inn ★★★★
"Just came home from a two night break at the Wayfarer Inn where I stayed with my two sisters. We were pleasantly greeted by a young girl at the bar Neve, who checked us in and said if we needed anything just to ask. The room was lovely, clean and warm with plenty of water, tea, coffee etc. There was such a friendly atmosphere in the bar with locals and staff alike and we even got to see some live music on the Saturday evening. The breakfasts and evening meal we had were good and plentiful and nothing was too much trouble. If you want to experience a local, quirky, welcoming, friendly place to stay or have a meal and drink you will not be disappointed. Thank you Sue Linda and Kay."

The Seagate ★★★
"We stayed in room 19 for one night. It was a large room with a great shower and big bathroom including a bath. This room is in The Quay a few minutes' walk from the pub so luckily the weather was dry for our walks between the pub and the accommodation. The view from our room across to Instow was great although sadly the weather was cloudy and drizzly to really appreciate it! The food in the pub is excellent and the staff we met were all very friendly."

Instow Barton ★★★★
"This Bed and Breakfast is the finest we’ve ever been to. Caroline and Colin really know what they are doing. Caroline is energized and welcoming with a “can do” attitude that shines. Colin cooked up the most delicious breakfast. Our room was lovely and our bed linens were crisp and smelled so luscious. We melted right in. We didn’t want to leave. Our regret was we were there only one night and didn’t get to enjoy the garden."

"A warm welcome greeted us from Theresa and Ian who Have recently taken over. We called in for an anniversary Sunday lunch. Great local beer and some great wine was accompanied by a great home cooked Sunday lunch. Albeit that they in the process of renovating the whole hotel nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We look forward to visiting again and staying over."

The West Country Inn ★★★
"We booked in 2023 but when we got there the pub was closed. It was new year's day and the last day of our holiday so we had absolutely nothing to eat. So we decided to try again because the landlady had explained that one of her customers had been taken ill and she'd had to close. I booked believing it would be busy and explained i was vegan to which she replied that wasn't a problem and she'd get 'chef' to sort something out. When we got there it was sooo cold inside. The landlady said the one vegan option was a tart tatin. No other vegan options. So I went with that and my husband had the pie of the day. I said vegetables would be great. Vegetables arrived which were cauliflower 'cheese' and 'creamy' mash which was in the same dish as the sprouts, broccoli and carots. They'd been pre cooked and microwaved, by the look of it. Absolutely tasteless. So for £15 I got a tart and some chips!! Husband's pie was quite good but swimming in gravy. Beer was £5.80 and a small bottle of wine £6.30. Very very disappointing"
