Frequently asked questions

Which area of Appledore is best to stay in for luxury hotels?
The best area to stay in Appledore for luxury hotels is along the waterfront, particularly around The Quay and Irsha Street.

This area is the heart of Appledore, known for its narrow, winding streets, colourful fishermen's cottages, and direct views over the Torridge Estuary. The Quay is the main thoroughfare, bustling with activity, while Irsha Street offers a slightly quieter, more residential feel with many properties directly overlooking the water. It's a very walkable area, with most amenities and attractions within easy reach.

For couples seeking a refined and relaxing getaway, staying in this waterfront area is ideal. Many of the luxury hotels here offer stunning estuary views, often from private balconies or terraces, superb for enjoying the sunset.
How much does a luxury hotel in Appledore cost?
Luxury hotel prices in Appledore vary, but you can find a great deal from £64 on Expedia. To find the best prices on luxury stays, be flexible with your dates. Typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
What luxury activities and experiences are there in Appledore?
The best areas to stay in Appledore are along The Quay for direct harbour views or in the quieter lanes just behind it for a more secluded feel.

The Quay is the heart of Appledore, running along the waterfront with many of the village's traditional pubs, restaurants, and shops directly accessible. It's a busy spot where you can watch the fishing boats and pleasure craft come and go, and it offers direct access to the ferry for Instow. This area is great for those who enjoy being at the centre of activity and appreciate instant access to amenities.

For couples looking for a romantic escape, staying in one of the historic cottages just a street or two back from The Quay offers a more private experience. These lanes, like Meeting Street or Bude Street, are very quiet and feature charming, often centuries-old, fishermen's cottages. You're still only a short stroll from the waterfront and all its offerings, but you'll have a peaceful haven to retreat to. Many of these properties offer lovely garden spaces.

Families might find staying slightly further up the hill, away from the immediate bustle of The Quay, more convenient. Areas around Odun Road or Myrtle Street often have larger holiday homes with more space for children, and they provide easier access for parking, which can be limited closer to the water.
Can I cancel my luxury hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right luxury hotel in Appledore for you.
