“We had a lovely short break in this comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated house which is situated in a quiet spot within a 15 minute walk to Appledore centre,albeit a bit of a hilly climb back!”

We visited Bideford, Instow over the water, and Westward Ho! all in easy reach by car. There are some lovely cafes for cream teas and pubs all of which are dog friendly. Would fully recommend this property to others.

Amanda June 2026

“Lovely place to stay.”

Close enough to Appledore and Westward Ho. We would definitely come back and stay. The house is nearly brand new. Everything you need in it apart from a washing machine. We had a wonderful stay!

“Dog friendly accomodation, ideally located on the outskirts of Appledore.”

Easy access to public transport and walking opportunities. Off-road private parking in front of the property made it easy to unload luggage. Inside the house was clean, very well equipped, only lacking a coffee machine (we brought our own). Kitchen equipment was of a good standard and it was good to have a choice of sizes for drinks, both mugs and glasses. Furniture was comfortable. Sofa plus one armchair might be challenging if there were 4 adults though. Bedrooms nicely presented and very clean. For anyone concerned about dogs there was no trace of previous occupants whatsoever (dog hairs/smell), this being a modern property probably helps in this respect. Overall, the property was one of the best we've stayed in and wouldn't hesitate to return.

- Godfrey, November 2025

Thank you for your review. We are very happy you were comfortable and enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Pebble Bay Property Owner

“What a great house!”

So lovely and homely, everything was just perfect. The location was perfect for us, we managed to explore a lot of the surrounding places and Appledore is just gorgeous and has great pubs! Couldn’t have asked for a better trip away.We will be back ! Thank you

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Pebble Bay Property Owner
Caroline September 2025

“We loved staying at Pebble Bay.”

Very comfortable throughout and lovely and clean. The Secure Back Garden was a real bonus for the dog. We were so lucky with the weather and could leave the patio doors open and having breakfast outside was lovely. Well situated for a variety of attractions around the area with Appledore only about 15 to 20 mins walking away which was lovely to potter around. We also had a lovely breakfast at the SeaGate. Thank you for a lovely holiday and we would love to return.

- Caroline, September 2025

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay. Appledore is so lovely and you were lucky with the weather too. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Stephanie September 2025

“Beautifully presented accommodation.”

Attention to detail was excellent right down to the potato peeler!! Garden was perfect for Ruby, the schnauzer. The goodies that the owners left were delicious, thank you. It was a shame about the weather but the property more than made up for it. We would certainly give this 5 stars.

- Stephanie, September 2025

Thank you so much for your kind review. You were unlucky with the weather which was a shame but glad you were comfortable and Ruby the Schnauzer was safe in the garden. Property Owner

Sue July 2025

“We enjoyed a lovely few days at the beautiful Pebble Bay.”

The house was spotlessly clean for our arrival & there was everything we needed & more provided for our stay. The welcome pack on our arrival was very much appreciated by us & by our little doggy Daisy. The house is in a perfect position for local walks as well as for exploring the local area. Thank you for allowing us to stay, we will definitely be returning.

- Sue, July 2025

Thank you so much for your kind review. Glad too that Daisy the dog enjoyed her holiday too. There’s so much exploring to do in and around Appledore. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Pebble Bay Property Owner

Sophie November 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay at Pebble Bay, we hope to come back again in the future.”

The house is lovely and clean. The location is great - easy to explore north devon. Our only very very small issue was the Wifi, the network is unsecured so we did feel safe using it and the phone signal in the area wasn't great. It wasn't a major problem but it meant we couldn't work from the property.

- Sophie, November 2024

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are sorry you had problems with the wifi signal. It could have been as the weathers been so awful. We look forward to welcoming you back and so glad you enjoyed your stay at Pebble Bay. Property Owner

“Very clean, modern , nicely furnished house.”

Enclosed back garden ideal for our dog. Starter pack was a lovely surprise. Excellent stay helped by great weather !!

Linda July 2024

“Absolutely lovely stay and very comfortable and clean.”

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t brilliant enough for the beach but we managed to do something every day including walking on the beach at Instow with Bailey and that was her favourite thing to do. It is so central to be able to visit lots of different places. We did find that the water was so soft we were slipping in the bath so we bought a shower mat which we have left for other guests to use.

- Linda, July 2024

Thank you so much for your review. Yes we are very central and there’s so many places to visit. I’m glad your dog enjoyed walkies on Instow beach too. Thank you for staying with us. Property Owner
Lee July 2024

“Absolutely lovely house!”

Meet the owner upon leaving the property and they were really nice. The neighbour is friendly too. The house has everything you could want from a holiday let and is very modern, clean and tidy with comfy beds. Great location and nice treats left to enjoy after the long journey down. Thanks so much for a great stay.

- Lee, July 2024

Hello and thank you so much for your very kind review. We try to make our guests as comfortable as possible and it was so nice to meet you too and your little dog. Thank you for staying at Pebble Bay. Property Owner
Janette May 2024

“Lovely tasteful comfortable property approximately fifteen minutes from centre.”

Well equipped kitchen , no washing machine. Lovely treats left for both humans and dog. Real shame that bath towels are not provided .

Ian May 2024

“Second time staying here and again enjoyed the stay.”

Well appointed modern house in a new estate at the edge of Appledore. Location is 2 mins by car into the heart of Appledore or 10 mins walk, downhill on the way in. Very comfortable furnishings with decent WiFi and pretty much everything else you will need as well as parking space for two cars. No washing machine however that was no problem as we were only there a week, there is a washing line if you do need to hand wash. A really nice change from the seemingly ubiquitous cottages with vintage furniture and fittings you get a lot of in the quaint villages in Devon/Cornwall.

- Ian, May 2024

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Pebble Bay. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

Rosemary Jane April 2024

“We had a really lovely week at.”

Pebble bay. We thought the owners went above what we would have expected from an Air B and B the thought and detail of the accommodation was excellent the goodies they left for us was a really kind Gesture. My only negative. For me was the pillows were a little soft I have neck problems. So that is just a comment. From me. My husband had. No issues. Would. Love to revisit. At some time

- Rosemary Jane, April 2024

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We will happily provide a firmer pillow should you require one if needed for a future visit. We look forward to welcoming you back to Pebble Bay. Property Owner

“This is my second time of staying at Pebble Bay, it’s a great location for an area I know well.”

I will be back again.

Patricia Ann March 2024

“The property is lovely.”

The extractor fan in the bathroom could do with a clean, does not look good. Really strange that towels are not provided. I go away six times a year and have never had a property which does not provide towels. Not a major issue but a bit inconvenient.

- Patricia Ann, March 2024
Rick October 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at Pebble Bay, a very nice property with everything required for a one week stay.”

Being so new the house is faultless. The welcome pack and the dog treats on arrival was a nice addition. The fully enclosed garden was very useful for a JRT who would have found a way out if there was one. Appledore seems very dog friendly, we can recommend the Flame Factory (great pizzas and burgers) for a sit in meal, and the fish and chips from the Royal Plaice are very good. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again when in the area.

- Rick, October 2023

Thank you so much for your kind review. So happy you enjoyed your stay and your little dog was safe in the garden. Appledore is so dog friendly and hope he enjoyed his treat on arrival. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back to Pebble Bay. Property Owner
Lesley October 2023

“Great location and the house was very well equipped for a comfortable holiday.”

It is newly built so excellent bathroom, kitchen and heating facilities and a small, enclosed garden. A fifteen minute walk along a lane and we were in Appledore and it's only a 10 minute drive to the beaches at Westward Ho and Instow. We had a lovely time.

- Lesley, October 2023

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are happy you enjoyed staying with us at Pebble Bay. Property Owner
Ian September 2023

“Really lovely, very new, property.”

It was very clean and all the furniture, fixtures and fittings were of a good standard. It was very quiet generally with the odd bit of traffic noise at peak time, not that we really noticed. The location is excellent and you can get to most if the main areas easily. We walked to Appledore a couple of times which took us approximately 10 minutes, noting it is a steep downhill into the village. It is well served with a couple of good pubs and eateries. We had some comms with Nikki the owner who was lovely and could not have been more helpful. We will certainly stay again when in Devon.

- Ian, September 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback and so happy you enjoyed your stay and Appledore. We look forward to welcoming you back again to Pebble Bay. Property Owner

Karen August 2023

“Pebble Bay is a fantastic house and in a great location.”

Clean and fresh and very well fitted out. It has everything you would wish for a holiday let. We loved the welcome prosecco, scones, jam and cream. The house is a short car journey to all amenities and the beach. Plus the beds are very very comfortable! Shower very powerful and kitchen has everything you need should you chose to stay in and cook as we did. Directions and access were easy. We will definitely use this accommodation again.

- Karen, August 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. We so enjoy making our guests stay as comfortable as possible. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Pebble Bay. Property Owner
Charlotte August 2023

“A lovely property located on the outskirts of Appledore, just a short 10-15 minute walk in to the centre.”

The house was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The cream tea on arrival was much appreciated and there was even a bowl and some treats for our dog. A wonderful area with some beautiful beaches and walks. Lots of dog friendly restaurants in Appledore and the surrounding villages/towns. We would love to stay again next time we are visiting the area.

- Charlotte, August 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Pebble Bay and the delights of Appledore too. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back again one day. Property Owner
Heather July 2023

“A lovely brand new home with everything needed for a short stay.”

Nothing we didn't like but perhaps you could compile a booklet on "places to visit" etc and recommendations for eateries too. We enjoyed Westward Ho and spent an evening or two there at the bar overlooking the beautiful sandy beach and the Thai restaurant was lovely.

- Heather, July 2023

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We have now included an information pack with places to visit etc. We are happy you enjoyed your stay at Pebble Bay. Property Owner

“The property was immaculate and the welcome pack was most appreciated.”

- Kevin, June 2023

You are most welcome. We thank you for your feedback and hope you enjoyed your holiday at Pebble Bay. Property Owner
Michelle June 2023

“Lovely clean property, secure garden for your furbabies.”

Cream tea & strawberries were a welcome bonus after a long drive. I think Sykes should tell people that the estate is still under construction due to the builders turning up early and there is noise. Also waze does not recognise the postcode or the name Riverview the signage is actually 'Estuary View' but these issues do not deflect what a nice property Pebble Bay is

- Michelle, June 2023

Thank you so much Michelle for your feedback. Also for your letter you left for us. All the pointers you mentioned have been taken on board and we have acted on them all. We really appreciate any feedback. We have already bought tea cups for your Mum. So sorry they were not available when you stayed at Pebble Bay. Property Owner

Just four miles from Appledore,straddling the Torridge estuary, is the quaint bustling town of Bideford boasts a medieval bridge, town quay, quaint pannier market and vibrant shopping area - all well worth a visit. For the more active, several major surfing beaches, golf courses, theme parks and other attractions are nearby and the South West coast path passes close by on its way into Cornwall.
