This is a small, lovely old family owned hotel set on the edge of the Bristol Channel, in a very quaint street in a very quaint village. Coming from South Africa, it is exactly what I pictured a small English seaside village would be like! The breakfasts were wonderful, freshly cooked and reasonable, and served sitting right next to the sea. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for dinners, but there is a very pleasant pub a 50m walk away, that served great food and also had live music.

Parking was tricky initially, but there is a long stay car park nearby and also street parking in the village a short walk away that was available. That might be a problem in busy seasons, check with the hotel before arriving.

This was our second stay in the same room as we loved it so much and it did not disappoint. Gorgeous comfortable room with amazing views. Lovely clean bathroom with the added bonus of a free-standing bathtub. Fridge with water and fresh milk. Friendly welcoming staff who let us check in early as our room was ready which was a huge bonus. Great nights sleep and wonderful cooked breakfast in the morning.

My only gripe in what was an exceptional stay is that the check out time of 10am is a little too early for a Sunday if you are eating breakfast in the restaurant. We found we had to get up and out by 9:15am.. An option of an 11 o'clock check out time (would gladly pay extra) so guests could have breakfast then pack and check out would be much more relaxing. Just an idea.

This is our second christmas stay at this hotel. We absolutely love the location, the staff (especially the lovely waitress) and the breakfast. The styling of the rooms is really nice; we stayed in two different rooms, the family for two nights and a premium double for one night. The double room was so much nicer than the suite with two rooms.

There is very little storage in the family suite; the only wardrobe space in the main bedroom was taken up with items that should have been put somewhere else. The only shelf in the wardrobe was filled with bedspreads etc and the bottom was filled with portable air conditioners etc. All of these items should have been stored somewhere else. There is one hanging space and one small chest of drawers between two rooms; so they should be empty for guests. Radiator in bathroom stuck on full and it was boiling hot - this was the same two years ago so needs fixing. Our room on night 3 was perfect.

Booked here to be on the waters edge. It is an art form getting down the narrow street and best to offload and park away as there is literally nowhere by. This was not a problem as it was not busy time of year. The room was spacious and thoughtfully decorated in a modern style with strong rustic echoes. We had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Our window was by a street light and the blinds are a light fabric, not a big issue. Nicky, especially was engaging and helpful. We dined overlooking the turning of the tide and breakfasted with its repeat as the estuary life was fascinating. Enjoyed the fact there were nearly as many polite dogs under tables as there were patrons- gotta love England

We had an amazing stay in a beautiful double room with a sea view for one night. The room was comfortable and immaculately clean and the large bath was a lovely added extra as was the fridge and coffee machine. We ate in the restaurant and had a delicious evening meal and the breakfast was tasty and generous the next morning. The staff we met were very friendly and polite too. Overall we had a lovely stay would like to return one day as the location was a perfect base for a weekend in picturesque Appledore which we also fell in love with.

The only thing I would change is to maybe offer a later check-out time as we found we had to set an alarm and rush breakfast a bit so we could check out by 10am on the Sunday.

Room was clean and comfortable although too warm for our preference. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was very good indeed - especially the shower. The breakfast was tasty and taken in a room overlooking the estuary - a lovely way to start the day.

We had booked dinner for the first night of our stay but the hotel cancelled the booking 2 days before because of staffing problems. Whilst we understood this could happen, I'm afraid their attitude was very cavalier - no suggestions for alternative venues, very much it's just "tough".

We were made to feel very welcome by the staff. The room was very clean, had everything we needed. The bath was amazing! The view breath taking. A quiet location but moments from the beautiful village centre, perfect for exploring. Torridge Road carpark meters away and easy to get to. The food was extremely good (especially the sunday roast, yum!) and a good variety of drinks. The serving staff were really friendly and greeting us as old friends each morning for breakfast. We will most definitely be back at somepoint.

N/A

Great lovely location, but you do have to go find a parking space away from the The Royal George as there is no parking due to narrow streets. The staff were lovely, the beer was great, the room was lovely and comfortable, clean and had everything you needed. Comfy bed with lovely soft bedding. Lovely bathroom with great shower. Mini fridge with water and milk to go with complimentary tea, coffee etc. Would stay again.

The room was a little warm

We stayed in Room 3, which had a view over the estuary. Beautiful room and large bathroom. Wished I’d made use of the bath as it was huge!! Great shower, perfect for after a long walk along the coast path. We ate in the restaurant on our first evening and the food was also excellent, although the scallop starter course was a little small for the cost.

On our first morning we order the full breakfast, but for some reason we did not get any bacon (1st world problem I know)

The location and style of hotel were great. The bathroom was compact but lovely. Pets were welcome and special areas in the restaurant meant they could come too. The view from the restaurant was superb as was the food and service.

There could have been a few more toiletries in the bathroom. The room was rather hot, even with the window open and there was a fair amount of noise from the road outside on Friday but this was not something the hotel could control.
