"The room was clean and tidy The room was warm and even with a small fan and all the Velux windows open it was still warm. The breakfast was interesting I went for the full English 1 sausage 1 egg beans black pudding and the smallest piece of bacon I’ve ever had half a mushroom and half a tomato are margins that tight the can’t give you a full mushroom or tomato Not a lover of sourdough bread it was very tough Love Appledore won’t be giving The George any more of my hard earned money"

"We stayed for one night in Room 1 at a cost of £108.50 (room only). The room was big and right on the sea front and everything was very clean and tidy. We went for a few drinks and returned to our room at about 11pm. I got up at 1am, and the room was absolutely freezing. It was snowing outside! My wife had been awake for a while and had put on her coat in bed ... it was that cold. We tried to turn up the thermostat on the wall, but it had a message on it saying 'THE POWER TO THIS THERMOSTAT IS OFF'. We were awake all night. As a result, we left at 7.15 ... just as the thermostat came back on! If you book a room, you expect it to at least be warm. I complained to The Sailors Rest, sending them a picture of the message on the thermostat, and they replied. but only to blame me for the room being cold!! They say that we should have turned up the radiator using the knob on the actual heater. We had done that, but the radiator was OFF and stone cold. It wasn't possible to turn it up. They also said that we should have contacted the emergency telephone number at 1.30am. How long would we have had to wait for someone to come out AND for the room to heat up? Either way, our night was awful, but they refused any type of refund. I challenged their opinions, and they stopped communicating. I then involved Airbnb, and they agreed that our treatment was unacceptable and refunded me £32.55. I accepted. The Sailors Rest may well reply to this review and maintain that it was not their fault, but I will let people form their own opinions. This may well have been a one-off, but I would expect them to own up to the problem and communicate rather than blaming the customer."

"We had 4 nights as a family of 4 adults, a baby and a toddler. It was spacious enough for us all and the apartment was bigger than we had imagined which was great. The beds were comfy and the view is incredible. However the cleanliness of the place was not good. The wooden floor was so grubby that within 5 minutes of walking around all our feet were black. We went and spoke to someone about the issue as we had been allowed to check in early (which was great) but we wondered if it hadn’t been finished cleaning and we were handed a mop to do it ourselves. We didn’t mind moping ourselves but obviously not ideal. Even after a mop it wasn’t much better so the next day we mopped again, it must be the grain in the floor or something but we couldn’t get it clean and we all wore socks for the rest of the stay. When checking this place prior to choosing to book we wondered about the smell and noise from the pizza place below; no reviews mentioned it, so we proceeded with booking. However, it is quite smelly and noisy to! As soon as you open up the front door into the stair way there is an overwhelming smell of old cooked/burnt oil, and if you leave your windows open past 5:30 you’ll just get bbq/pizza smell in your bedrooms. A shame as in the summer it’s quite hot on the second floor so it was a choice between smell and noise or a very stuffy room. The noise we kind of expected being above a restaurant but lots of banging doors in the building. So yes a mixed review, and overall we would not stay here again."
