The Royal George - A Grade II listed waterfront pub with estuary views, modern British dining, and en-suite rooms

Dating back to the late 1700s, The Royal George is a Grade II listed pub situated on Appledore's seawall, offering panoramic views of the Taw & Torridge Estuary. The 3-star hotel features four en-suite rooms equipped with WiFi, flat-screen TVs, espresso machines, and tea-making facilities, some with sea views. Its award-winning restaurant serves a modern British seasonal menu, sourcing ingredients locally, including beef from farms within 37.0 km and seafood from Ilfracombe and Brixham. Guests can dine indoors or on the first-floor terrace overlooking the estuary. Nearby attractions include Instow Beach (1 km), North Devon Maritime Museum (1 km), and Skern Lodge Outdoor Activity Centre (1 km). A continental breakfast is available each morning at The Royal George.

Pros

The waterfront location provides direct views of the Taw & Torridge Estuary.

The restaurant serves locally sourced, seasonal dishes with monthly menu changes.

Rooms include modern amenities such as espresso machines and flat-screen TVs.

Dog-friendly accommodations and dining options are available.

Cons

Limited on-site parking may require alternative arrangements.

Some rooms lack bathtubs, featuring showers only.

“In my opinion, The Royal George stands out for its exceptional harbor views, which many rooms and the restaurant fully capture. I noted the thoughtful touches, such as fresh milk in the rooms, adding a personal feel. Moreover, its dog-friendly policy extends from accommodations to dining, which is a plus. Finally, the combination of attentive staff, clean spaces, and a great breakfast ensures a comfortable experience.”
