We stayed for three nights and had a brilliant time. Andy W was our Course Director who took us on the Hartland Experience, kayaking on the Torridge and then a selection of on site experiences for an afternoon. He was brilliant with the 14 and 15-year fit and able teenagers as well as the slightly broken 47 and 50-year olds! Andy helped us all push our boundaries and try something new, quickly getting the measure of each of us so that he could work with us as a group and individuals. We stayed full board and were very happy with food - clear plates all round! Jimmy the chef was cheery and happy, making us feel welcome and providing great gluten-free options for our daughter. We had an issue with our lights on the first night and the team quickly got the issue sorted, making sure we knew what was happening at every turn. Basically we cannot recommended the team at Appledore highly enough and will be back at some point! Thank you for a fantastic end to our holiday.

Amazing delicious fantastic yummy locally produced ice cream. A trip to Appledore not complete until you’ve tasted one.
5. Appledore Instow Ferry

We used the ferry to go from appledore to instow. Friendly volunteers and only took 5 minutes to cross. Gives you a chance to see the estuary from a different perspective and to explore the other side without needing to take car out. They allowed our two dogs on but due to nature of getting on/off a small boat take care if you or your dogs are less mobile. Would definitely recommend.

Toll road a bit pricey during the summer at £4.50 but you can park there for the day. Lovely walks across the burrows and can be very scenic on a clear day.
