What guests think

Travellers describe The Seagate as a scenic waterfront base in Appledore with welcoming staff, tasty pub dining, and many comfortable rooms offering spacious layouts and lovely estuary views, though experiences vary depending on room location and building quirks.

Many enjoy the relaxed, dog friendly atmosphere and access to waterside walks. Common drawbacks include very firm mattresses, rooms that can be hot or poorly ventilated with no air conditioning, intermittent Wi-Fi in some areas, and occasional noise or light from the street or pub. A few reviews note maintenance or cleanliness lapses and inconsistent room allocation (including unexpected accessible rooms), plus a small on-site car park though quay parking is available. Overall, expect a friendly inn-style stay with scenic views in a characterful building, but room comfort varies.

The hotel is close to shore and handy for enjoying walks. It is a friendly homely hotel and the staff are very helpful and obliging and very importantly it is dog friiendly and their every need is catered for. I would certainly stay there again.

The Seagate was on the estuary in lovely Appledore. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We stayed here before and after a trip to Lundy. The first night was in room7 which was spacious and you could just about see the sea. The second night in room 9 which had a completely frosted window and was small. The pub food was good. I particularly liked the ceasar salad . Would return.

Lovely stay with nice food, comfortable, clean accommodation, nice bar and great staff. Negatives encountered: WiFi kept failing in our top floor room so had to go downstairs to get a signal. Car park was small but we were lucky to get a space. No spare loo roll in room - presumably an oversight but I had to throw some clothes on in the morning to go downstairs to get more!

The downstairs of the pub was lovely and had a great range of food and had a lovely feel, had really high hopes for our stay. Some of the staff were great and very welcoming, but did have to wait a while to be checked in and out as some of the staff were busy messing around behind the bar rather than serving us and other customers. Room provided was not like any that were displayed on the listing photos which was really disappointing. It’s was a lot lower on the scale of modern or done up but there were still some nice features about the place. The room was covered in ‘fixes’ that were done poorly and not fried properly, and there was a lot of damp in the room, showing drip marks and wet patches on the walls and giving off a slightly musky smell. There was mold in the bathroom too and the plumbing for toilet and bath was quite poor as didn’t drain, which was a shame as apart from the above it looked really lovely. The bathroom was well stocked with good toiletries which was appreciated. Quite chilly in the evening as the windows didn’t close properly and the electric heater in the room was broken. The bed was not too bad, it was presented nicely but was rather uncomfortable and there were hairs in the bed when we first checked in. There were hairs in the bedding when we first checked in too. Some nice aspects of the place but was a shame there were so many smaller things that made it not the best stay.

We checked in at The Seagate for a twin bed room which we believed we were booking and paid for. The staff member who checked us in, then told us that the room is a short walk away. She took us to the room and left us. Outside the building it was written the Quay Hotel, Appledore. I cannot tell you if The Seagate and The Quay hotel is the same thing but we were not awarded. The room and bathroom were not very clean. The toilet roll has not been changed, in fact the toilet paper ran out in the evening and we had to use our own tissues. The shower screen has not been wiped and rude words appeared when the screen steamed up. The sheets appeared clean but I found two small insects running around. The room was very warm and there was no fan, we could not open the window as it faces the pavement and people could see directly in, we had to leave the shutters close for privacy and safety for the night. It was very noisy till very late in the night. To sum up, we were very pleased that we were leaving first thing the next morning. We did not have much interaction with the staff apart from a brief check in and check out, so we could not comment. We had breakfast before leaving and the breakfast was fine.

Stayed in room 14 the Quays, which was designed for disabled persons (we weren't) , which we question as not much space if wheelchair used. The sink was small and low down which was not very good for hubby at 6 foot+. The room was kept clean and serviced daily. The only real down side wasinternet access which was intermittant at best and only at certain times of day, you could not use 2 devices at same time. Overall stay was great and gave us a nice break.

Staff, very friendly and great service. The rooms are beautiful, with great facilities. However, the beds are the hardest I have ever slept on, which resulted in broken and painful sleep. I did not rise refreshed. Breakfast was really good but sausage was very tangy (maybe male pig) so I was unable to eat.
