Sunset Bay Appledore Reviews

Adrian

Great location,easy walk to village for Restos and shops.Parking in front of house for 2 medium or one large car.Hot tub pristine clean and most enjoyable even in the rain!Comms from Claire great both prior and during stay.Uninterupted views across estuary from balcony and wonderful local dog walking. Cant really fault it.

Martin

This is the second year running we have stayed at Sunset Bay and would highly recommend to others. The property is immaculately clean and very well equipped with some lovely welcome touches. We particularly enjoyed the scones, jam, clotted cream, strawberries and prosecco! Owners are very helpful if you need anything. The location of the property iRead mores perfect with walks from the door to the nature reserve and Appledore. The balcony view of the nature reserve and estuary were a real highlight. Hide

Richard

A spotless house where every need has been thought of inside. The location is great - walkable to Appledore for dinner etc and easy access to lovely walks along the coastline. Views also excellent. Only minor niggle is the patio needed a clean up and dog washing facilities are limited to a cold hosepipe. Would certainly return!

Janice

Fantastic home, everything well thought out, great selection of welcome pack, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar, milk, biscuits, sweets and bottle Prosecco. Kitchen items also. Dog treats was well received. Bedrooms fantastic, plenty cupboard space. Showers great. Use of outdoor furniture with cushions. Fantastic views, short walk to Appledore.

Anthony

The house was in a great position with fantastic views. The house had all the equipment you would need and was high spec. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Karyn

An amazing property. The view is stunning. This property has everything you could wish for in your holiday. I've stayed in many holiday homes around the UK which didn't deliver to the advertisment but this property is true to its word and the photos don't do it justice. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return.

Inez

Fabulous and very comfortable modern house with everything you need to self cater! Amazing West facing, spacious balcony with views over the estuary and fabulous sunsets. Very dog friendly with a safe enclosed garden which is accessed from the bedrooms or a side gate from the road. Hot tub is in the garden and isn't overlooked. Probably the best seRead morelf catering accommodation we've stayed at and we've stayed at quite a few! Hide

Wonderful location, lovely clean house, very nice fittings and decor. Very good for dogs, suitable garden and a hot tub a bonus! Had a wonderful holiday.

Helen

Great accommodation, fabulous views, quiet location, only a 10min walk into Appledore and 5mins by car to Westward Ho.

Jason

Beautiful property and wonderfully located looking over the estuary. We really enjoyed our holiday and it was one of the most attractive and well presented properties we've stayed at.

Kelly

Stunning home! Well equipped. Great hallway & utility space, good for post doggy walks.. lovely view from living room balcony. We didnt use garden much, however worth noting that you go through a bedroom to get to it. No problem for us, as only used 1 bedroom. But worth noting if going with a family. Good size garden, which is enclosed. But the walRead morels are low, so be mindful if you book with a large dog. Location good, although we drove to Westward Ho most days - more dog friendly. Great stay. Hide

Kerry

Wow, what a wonderful place, loved every minute there and it had everything you needed. Appledore is a quaint village with a small grocery store and a few nice places to eat all within walking distance. The beach accessed from the nearby reserve is beautiful. Didnt want to leave.

Catherine

Booked Sunset Bay for a special Christmas family get together and boy did it deliver!!! Everything was thought of and it was so clean and beautifully decorated. Absolute luxury, with fantastic open plan living area so that we could all be together. Many thanks

Martin

This was by far the most luxurious property we've ever stayed in. The location was perfect overlooking the bay and nature reserve. The property was spotlessly clean and very well-equipped. It was lovely to return after a day-out to soak in the hot-tub. Garden was safe and secure for our dog.

Anthony

We loved everything about the house and we felt very lucky to be staying there.Hot tub was the icing on the cake we would love to stay there again .

Emma

We had a lovely holiday in Appledore. The house was extremely clean and we loved the welcome package. Beaches and restaurants are all close by. The garden is right next to the road which we didnt realise, so it can be a bit noisy. They were very helpful with any problems we had. Its floorboards throughout, so if you are bringing dogs I would suggesRead moret you bring some extra rugs (our old dog was slipping everywhere on the floor). The balcony was lovely to watch the sunsetting. Hide

Stephen

We loved the layout of the house and the view from the balcony Clair who was looking after the house was really great and helpful

Catherine

This is lovely property with beautiful views and in a good location. It is very well equipped and to a high standard. The hot tub is a great feature and the welcome basket on arrival very much appreciated. The management company were attentive and thoughtful. My one criticism would be that although the garden is totally secure for dogs and small ch ildren the only access to it is via the bedrooms or a side gate from the outside of the property, although this was not an issue for us at all.

Charlene

Fantastic stay at Sunset Bay, Lovely decor, Comfy beds (the best sleep I've had in a long time). High end appliances, this place literally has everything you need, very well thought out! Responsive owners if you need anything. Thankyou x

Lisa

We've just returned from a super relaxing week at Sunset Bay and it was stunning, a real 5 star property with amazing views over the water and just a stroll from the village of Appledore. The house is a new build so everything is perfect, it's really well equipped and it's an absolute treat sitting on the balcony watching the world go by. The downs tairs garden is fully enclosed so ideal if you have dogs and the neighbours were lovely and didn't mind our doggos saying hello across the garden!
