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.

Amazing place to stay! If your 6ft, don’t go in Room 6! Breakfast was amazing, I’m missing it already! Definitely worth staying here! Highly recommended !

A beautiful view from the room. Appledore is very lovely. Able to park opposite the accommodation in the evenings. Good welcome and breakfast at the Royal George.

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.

Great base, beautiful accommodation and furnishings. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

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.
