The Seagate Hotel Appledore North Dev in Torridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stayed 2 nights having booked the Summer Nights deal.The room was lovely and spotlessly clean. We are in the restaurant on the first night delicious food and great service overall a really welcoming, friendly team. We will be back!

Great allround experience, food was great, staff warm and friendly and a very comfortable night's stay.

Waited for Al Ost three quarters of an hour to order though not particularly busy Worst crab sandwich I have come across white meat mashed into redmeat on top of thick mayonnaise .Bread dry..mentioned this to staff.chips thin overcooked. A real let down of a Devon treat.

What a lovely cosy, friendly and wonderful place to stay. The food was very yummy indeed with a varied choice. The staff went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, they are lovely and very helpful, a credit to The Seagate. A special mention to Jamie & Kerris who served us with a smile and friendliness 😍

We met with friends and had the most delicious Sunday lunch. Half a chicken each was never going to all be eaten, but we were able to take home a few legs!! I thought I was in heaven when offered extra Yorkshire puds. The waiter was fabulous, and he added to the jollity of the afternoon. Wines were very good and we consumed plenty. Thank you 😊

I was so disappointed when we stopped to enjoy a coffee with family who live in the area. Having lived in North Devon for many years we used to regularly visit with our dogs and loved relaxing and enjoying both drink and food. The place was always pristine, packed with locals and visitors alike so we were anticipating struggling to even get a table especially as it was August bank holiday Monday at 11am. It was a lovely day too so alot of people were in the town. I was shocked to find the place empty inside and looking a lot less inviting than when we used to visit. But we only wanted coffee so that was okay...well so we thought!! The person in charge was so flustered and in such a rush that she wasn't listening to us as we ordered, resulting in only 2 of 5 drinks being served. We waiting 15 minutes for the remaining drinks and then chased, requesting fresh drinks for those who had them early... she wasn't that impressed but she agreed. I went up to wait for the drinks and again she was in such a rush that she didn't listen to my request, cutting across me and getting it all wrong. Then they took a long time to make 3 lattes plus and they still got the refresh order wrong. In a way it was a good job they were quiet as goodness knows how they would have coped if they were busy. I'm not sure what has changed so much that people have stopped going there and the service has become so poor. I hope it was just a blip but it's put me off wanting to go back.....

Food was nice but the service got slacker as the evening went on ! Unfortunately this seemed to be the case throughout the restaurant ! We would have had more drinks and a pudding but were left with our dirty plates in front of us for at least 30 minutes . The table next to us got the pudding menu but nobody returned to take an order plus they had to go to the bar for more drinks. Such a shame this place seems to have gone down hill !

Lovely restaurant and bar,,the food is spot on,,,the landlord and landlady are the best in the business,,, I have been to many a pub restaurant but this by far the best experiences I have ever had.my server is fish the best there is ,,, full off joy and a lovely smile,, thank you.

noah was a great barman and gave us great advice about the area . would come again . loves it

Had another fantastic weekend at The Seagate pub, in appledore Thank you to especially Tony, Fish, Jason & all the staff….very friendly See you all new year 🥂🍻🥳

This was our 6th stay at The Seagate Hotel since 2007 and I can't fault it. The food is delicious, the rooms are stylish and comfy and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The bar is really buzzy with a great atmosphere. And of course the location is great too.

Very disappointing. We ordered some coffees they didn't come together and the initial ones that did come went cold waiting for the rest. We then had to wait again as they got the order wrong again the second time. Eventually got it sorted and to be fair they did give us replacements for the two that went cold.

Fantastic food, really good atmosphere and excellent service. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Nice place, great atmosphere and lovely service from Noah! Would return

Having fun - old style UK beach holiday hotel / pub

Excellent pub with great food. Noah, our server was really helpful and couldn’t do more for us. A lovely place for a family meal

It's not often that we come away from a place feeling disappointed, but unfortunately we did after visiting The Seagate. The staff weren't particularly friendly, the food was extremely disappointing and definitely not good value for money. The only thing on the menu that appealed to me was a BBQ Pulled Pork Burger. This arrived and I found it tasteless and very dry. I certainly did not taste any of the BBQ. And the cherry on the cake, the burger cost the best part of £20. So, I don't think that I would return here, as for me, first impressions count. What I do want to add, is that this is only my experience. Everyones experience will be different.

Loved this restaurant for a while but stopped going due to the way they deal with allergens. They give you a massive folder to plough through to look to see what meal you can have. Why not just put GF on the menu like most other restaurants. It’s hard enough eating out when you have an allergy without having to do all that!! I’ve been coeliac for 13 years now and most places have phased out the folder for either a separate allergen menu or a simple guide on the menu. People with allergies feel awkward enough eating out without having to be singled out with a folder when they walk in. The food was great and the staff very helpful and clued up, thankfully as I had missed that the fish and chips was gluten free and the waitress me I could have it.

Michelle was super helpful at meeting our needs when the Seagate was already busy. She went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and provided excellent service.

Booked online - the first part of the bookingvsays 'check availability', put in date and time and ten asked us to continue with the booking - got booking confirmation. Turned up 5 mins before our booked time, they checked their list then asked did you book online, we replied yes, got told oh there is a glitch with our online booking it does not match up with our own system - we were then told we are full, no space. All I can say is sort the glitch or remove online booking - attitude of staff was appalling - no apology- just we are full.

Sat on a small table in the bar. Even though I booked the restaurant. Food was cold and bland. I was disappointed with the poor standards.

None of us plus 2 dogs came for dinner on a busy Friday night. The service from everyone was excellent, but Noah really shone. The family all had a great time and the mussels were delicious!

Excellent restaurant very good food.

Lovely meal at the Seagate. Noah was fantastic and really looked after us.

Lovely meal for the last night of our holiday. Noah served our large party of 13 + dog and was absolutely brilliant. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. All of us had a lovely meal. Thank you.

The food and service were incredible. We had booked as a group of families and the numbers did not phase our server at all. Noah was fantastic and made sure all our needs were catered for. He provided a fair few laughs along the way too. Thank you. The food was fresh and very tasty with a good range on the menu. No one had a single moan. The Ham Hock was particularly tasty and filling too! Thank you for an amazing meal.

Excellent service, atmosphere and food. Noah was very attentive, friendly and helpful and did a great job with our party of 13. Fish and chips was fab and the ploughman's sharer was excellent and had a nice varied mix of items. Plenty to share. The dog also enjoyed their fish from the doggies menu. Excellent touch. Would recommend The Seagate for a nice meal!

Excellent service by Noah. Delicious food and plenty - the sharing board and mussels were very much enjoyed. We will be back!

Always the best place to eat in Appledore! Fish is always so happy to help with any special requests and makes us feel welcome whenever we pop in. Food and drinks are always superb. Can't recommend enough. Thank you!!

Had the best time at the Seagate! Food was absolutely delicious and such friendly and welcoming service from Fish. Nothing was too much. 100% recommend!

Excellent food at affordable prices ....very friendly and helpful staff

Lovely hotel, each room is lovely and unique with personal touches such as complimentary chocolates, teas and coffee. Really friendly and helpful staff, really easy to come and go throughout the day. We have stayed before and would deffo stay again

Just returned from a brilliant midweek break at The Seagate Hotel. Hosted royally by Tony and Sian and their amazing team, nothing was too much trouble and our stay was perfect! (Pet friendly) Accommodation was very spacious for my wife, myself and our German Shepherd dog Eris, and boasted a massive bed, a corner sofa and even a Doggy Hamper!! Food and drink were both outstanding with a hearty menu and a great selection of spirits and cocktails. Location is stunning!! Right on top of the River Torridge with beautiful views across the bustling estuary, with dog-friendly beaches across the river in Instow, or around the headland to Greysands. All in all, a rather successful and relaxing time away!! Thanks Tony and Sian for your hospitality… we will see you and your team, (and your dogs!!!) in October!! Special praise is reserved for young Jamie!! The lad worked tirelessly morning, afternoon and night and always with a welcome smile on his face!! Thanks for looking after us… and the dog!! We shall return……

We came for a late dinner after visiting the eden project, the staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious. We loved this take on ham and egg and chips it was huge and cooked perfectly. Thank you for completing a perfect day.

As it was a beautiful evening I came in last night for a drink at the bar. Served by Maisie who was really friendly and she recommended one of the summer spritzers, Passionfruit kiss was superb. Spent a couple of hours soaking up the sun and atmosphere. Will definitely come again

Great service and the food was fantastic, lovely pub in a lovely spot 💖

Great hotel lovely clean and fresh rooms big shout to the housekeeping must visit great breakfast ❤️

Delishous cooked english breakfast

Best Breakfast, well worth it.. relaxed and clean.

Absolutely lovely meal and the dog loved the chicken, mash and gravy from their own dog menu! Service was great and staff very friendly. (We loved our meal too!)

We had a lovely meal at The Seagate Hotel. I had burger and my husband had fish and chips. Both meals were presented very well and we both commented on how nice they were. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing seemed like it was too much trouble. The pub seemed quite busy but the food didn’t take too long to come out. Would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area!!!

We had a family celebration lunch here for 30 people in June. From the initial planning of the event through to the day itself, everything was superb. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was friendly and supportive. The food from the special appledore day menu was excellent and really good value. Perfect for a big group where people had differing tastes but everyone found something they liked. Service was excellent and the whole event delivered everything we wanted it to. Thanks to Tony, Sian and the whole team for really looking after us and making a special and emotional day a fitting send off for Mum (who would have loved the whole event).

Had the sharer roast dinner. Was absolutely delicious and very good value for money. Will definitely visit again, food, service and atmosphere was excellent.

I loved this hotel! Great location, friendly helpful staff and people. The pub’s fish and chips and full Devon breakfast are easy choices.

Managed to get in for a Sunday lunch, late afternoon, and it was absolutely delicious. Generous portions. Bread board and pork belly bites to start and there is enough to share with someone! Unfortunately I didn’t have enough room for dessert which is not like me 😂 Very friendly and welcoming staff 🩵 +dog friendly 🐶 Definitely recommend, worth a visit!

A lovely little pub with excellent food. We very much rated their fish and chips. Very dog friendly as well.

We had a three night stay , on arrival we were met by Pete who was very friendly and welcoming, we were a little early so sat in the sun outside and had a few drinks, the veiw from the pubs front patio area is stunning, a perfect spot for lunch and a drink . Pete then checked us in and led us to the hotel which was a completely different building from the pub , I didn't know this at the time but its literally steps away! We stayed in room (19) it was amazing, very spacious, huge bed and fantastic views across the river , the facilities are great, nespresso coffee machine and snacks on hand if you fancy (with pricelist) . Breakfast! Totally amazing, great choice and the steak and eggs are perfect, I would definitely book again with breakfast included as it works out great value for money. On the second day we had dinner and was served by Michelle who was a amazing host who looked after all our needs and recommended particular dishes, I'm guessing she has been at the seagate a while as she seemed to take command of the pub and greeted everyone with a cheery smile (and on first term names with many who walked in) I would definitely recommend the seagate and would in no doubt stay again ( Thanks Michelle & Pete) for looking after us.

Fish was a really good laugh and amazing server, had a wonderful week. Will definitely be coming back.

Nice place to stop for lunch and a drink.

Excellent pub on the front. Food better than most pubs.

Michelle was an amazing host and the Roast Chicken recommended was delicious. Thankyou!!

Very good place to plonk yourself for a meal and good choice of beer. Varied menu we reccomend the Ploughman's sharer , when available the mushroom rarebit is awesome. Left my wallet in the bar I am now famous. Great staff in all positions.

Good local pub excellent food, with really friendly staff.

Great place and excellent food elle the waitress was fantastic and directed us to broadsands which was amazing thankyou john and Diane xx

Great place. The best ploughman's ever. Sharing dish and well worth £22. A side of chips too of course. Bri.

Fantastic roast dinner at the Seagate yesterday. Great staff and lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend to everyone. From two very happy customers 😊😊

Just git back from a great weekend at the Seagate at Appledore with our dog. Fantastic dog facilities including a dog menu in the pub with prices of £5.00 so while your having your meal you pup can enjoy theirs too. The adapted room we stayed in was great with a big wet room. The staff were really friendly and helpful. A big shout out to Fish who made our stay really great. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing few days, made even better by the team. A special shout to Fish for making it feel like a home from home!

Unfortunately, The Seagate was too busy for us to get a seat when we called in and we didn't want to wait. I assume they are doing something right to be so jam-packed, but it was rather too frenetic for us to want to hang on for space to become available.

Didnt eat but loved the pub and atmosphere. Very friendly

Great service from a lovely waitress in excellent location with ideal seating for the setting 👌

Absolutely best burger my husband has had in a long time 😂 staff so friendly and chatty, have stayed previously in the rooms above the pub, so good perfect for our dogs, we have a three legged springer spaniel and a cocker spaniel, the landlady made a beeline for the dogs as they have some, really felt comfortable and wished I lived nearer it would certainly be my local, and my next holiday will certainly be a stop at sea gate in lovely appledore, Thankyou for a lovely atmosphere and let’s keep these fantastic traditional pubs alive.

Lovely chicken meal on Sat 8th June. Excellent service from team, Michelle very helpful, especially in relation to a booking for Appledore night for us on Mon 10th June.

Excellent meals on the Sunday. Very disappointed on the Thursday.

Phenomenal food at really reasonable prices. Best Ploughman's I've ever had, thanks to Jason and Maisie for their fantastic service!

Weve visited the Sandgate Inn several times now whilst on holiday in Appledore. The food and service has been amazing through every visit, staff are all very helpful and friendly. Even gave my little dog a sausage when we had breakfast there. Would defiantly come back if in the area again and if we know of anyone coming on holiday here will happily recommend

Only stopped in for a quick pint. I didn't eat but the menu looked delicious. On the more expensive side but definitely worth a visit. Friendly staff and a nice chilled atmosphere.

We have just finish one off the best roast diners I think I've had out in long.

It's a really friendly pub often have breakfast there on a Sunday morning with my sister and her family infact I get so comfy I could stay all day well worth a visit .

Excellent local pub in beautiful Appledore

Great place to stay, eat & drink. Tony and his team always make you feel really welcome. Food is amazing and the bar has a great atmosphere. Best place to stay if you're visiting Appledore (in my opinion) as location is perfect, the bus stops outside and the ice cream van is opposite!

The service there was probably better then the 4 stars, but hard to tell as the restaurant was very full, so took a bit longer for service to get to you. Nice that dogs were wellcome.

Great pub ,good food recommended

Called in here while staying in appledore , had a lovely fish and chips and the best pint of estralla I've ever had. Nice place nice staff, lovely atmosphere

Lovely place to eat, food was excellent. Tom was a great server, would definitely go again.

Had a fab time Michelle And Alona excellent hosts very welcoming

Hey just visited The Seagate unexpectedly, we're just going for drinks then the pub made us feel very welcome, got comfortable and enjoyed the atmosphere and stayed for food. The staff were sooooo friendly and supportive while we waited for the last of our party to join us and hey a great time. Food was good I had the burger, dropped the fries and had onion rings swapped in no bother! So helpful. Lots of space in the pub and fairly good selection of beers and wine. Only improvement would be some bigger tables, but hey totally understandable! I'd definitely recommend booking in advance to ensure a seat, but we were lucky I suppose. Well worth a visit! I'll be back! 😉🍻

Great pub, great food, very friendly and attentive staff. Thanks to Tom & Jason (and the rest of the crew behind the scenes) for fantastic service . Highly recommend!

Sunday lunch was very good. No skimping on the meat or vegetables. Service was excellent.

Had a lovely day at the dog show for a local worthy cause. Great coffee and cake as well.

30 of us from Westwood Ho! Bluetits really enjoyed a Delicious meal at The Seagate - Food Excellent and Staff Excellent too - they were so helpful and bent over backwards to make sure everything went smoothly. Brilliant Night in Perfect Surroundings - Highly Recommend The Seagate!!! We will be back!!!

Very nice interior in both the pub and dining area. Good food and good selection of various dishes. Quick service from the kitchen and very good service and attendance from our waiter Tom. Recommend this place and would come back!

Stopped off here while visiting family. We had a lovely lunch, good service. The food and drinks arrived promptly. The four of us all ordered different items, but all arrived at the same time. Well done everyone!

Lovely restaurant, good atmosphere and servers are really helpful

We came in waiting for our bus, was made to feel welcomed. Peter and Jason FOH staff were fantastic. Nothing was a problem. They made the best looking hot chocolates I have seen in a long long time. My 2 children enjoyed their drinks and pastries. My wife and I enjoyed our drinks. Nice selection, very welcoming atmosphere. Thank you again, was lovely

Friendly staff, lovely looking pub, great location. Food was OK, but overpriced tbh. Not gastro-pub standard as prices would suggest. I'd happily go back for a drink outside on a sunny day, but would give the food a miss.

Stay a night at The Seagate. Fantastic reception from the team when I arrived with my pugs. Comfy room overlooking the sea. Bathroom abit small but perfect for me. Bed very comfy, I normally struggle when sleeping away but not this time. Great amenities in the room. Food fantastic. Beer choice was good. Locals very friendly aswel. Breakfast again very nice. Will be back. Extremely dog friendly gets a 10/10 from me. Dogs had a comfy bed, treats and a bowl provided.

Nice seafront pub for drinks and food

Didn't eat but went a few times over the last week whilst away. Cosy pub with welcoming staff.

We popped in for lunch with our elderly mother-in-law and our not so elderly dog. Staff delightful and helpful. Kids menu provided for MIL and this was perfect size portion for her and she really enjoyed her fish and chips. We had different options from menu and both really enjoyed. They also do a dog menu ( not tried by dog!) Very pleasant bathrooms! Beer good, pleasant bar area, and a really good lunch. Close to main carpark. Will return.

Had lunch here with my friend, the food and coffee were lovely and the environment cosy.

We ate at the Seagate on Easter Sunday. Although the bar & restaurant was very busy, the service and the food was fabulous! My Son said it’s the best Cheeseburger he’s ever had! We will definitely dine again before our holiday ends. We’ve been back a couple of times for just a drink as it’s a lovely place to be with excellent service & a friendly atmosphere. Highly Recomnend!

Excellent customer service, food was amazing and fab range of wines.

There's a difference between pubs that allow dogs and dog friendly pubs. The Seagate is the latter. Superb service, excellent food and brilliantly friendly staff. Thank you

Great bank holiday stay. Staff super friendly and helpful especially Wilbur and Fish. Would definitely recommend. Very dog Friendly too.

We have visited the venue several times as always, 5 star food and excellent customer service.

Our family (7 adults and three children) had Sunday lunch at The Seagate today. The meal was superb, masses of extra gravy, huge Yorkshire puds, loads of veg and beautifully cooked roast. The service was friendly, delightful, quick and efficient, the children were provided with colouring pencils, books and toys to keep them amused and we left feeling extremely happy and very content. Thank you!😊

Great location Excellent views of sea

We booked a table of 6 and a dog. It was the best decision. The menus were great and even Ralph the dog had his own little menu. The friendly staff were so attentive. The food was scrumptious and good portions. Definitely coming back when we are around the area and definitely a must if you are visiting.

Fantastic evening here today! Really dog friendly, food was delicious and Team were great. Food took a little longer than usual but worth the wait!! - Chicken wrapped in bacon in Stilton sauce - Ham & Leek pie
