Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"We really enjoyed our stay at Pebble Bay, we hope to come back again in the future."
The house is lovely and clean. The location is great - easy to explore north devon.
Our only very very small issue was the Wifi, the network is unsecured so we did feel safe using it and the phone signal in the area wasn't great. It wasn't a major problem but it meant we couldn't work from the property.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are sorry you had problems with the wifi signal. It could have been as the weathers been so awful.
We look forward to welcoming you back and so glad you enjoyed your stay at Pebble Bay.

"Absolutely lovely stay and very comfortable and clean."
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t brilliant enough for the beach but we managed to do something every day including walking on the beach at Instow with Bailey and that was her favourite thing to do. It is so central to be able to visit lots of different places. We did find that the water was so soft we were slipping in the bath so we bought a shower mat which we have left for other guests to use.
Thank you so much for your review. Yes we are very central and there’s so many places to visit. I’m glad your dog enjoyed walkies on Instow beach too.
Thank you for staying with us.

Meet the owner upon leaving the property and they were really nice. The neighbour is friendly too.
The house has everything you could want from a holiday let and is very modern, clean and tidy with comfy beds. Great location and nice treats left to enjoy after the long journey down. Thanks so much for a great stay.

"Second time staying here and again enjoyed the stay."
Well appointed modern house in a new estate at the edge of Appledore. Location is 2 mins by car into the heart of Appledore or 10 mins walk, downhill on the way in.
Very comfortable furnishings with decent WiFi and pretty much everything else you will need as well as parking space for two cars. No washing machine however that was no problem as we were only there a week, there is a washing line if you do need to hand wash.
A really nice change from the seemingly ubiquitous cottages with vintage furniture and fittings you get a lot of in the quaint villages in Devon/Cornwall.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Pebble Bay. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Pebble bay. We thought the owners went above what we would have expected from an Air B and B the thought and detail of the accommodation was excellent the goodies they left for us was a really kind Gesture. My only negative. For me was the pillows were a little soft I have neck problems. So that is just a comment. From me. My husband had. No issues. Would. Love to revisit. At some time
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We will happily provide a firmer pillow should you require one if needed for a future visit.

"The property is lovely."
The extractor fan in the bathroom could do with a clean, does not look good. Really strange that towels are not provided. I go away six times a year and have never had a property which does not provide towels. Not a major issue but a bit inconvenient.

"We had a wonderful stay at Pebble Bay, a very nice property with everything required for a one week stay."
Being so new the house is faultless. The welcome pack and the dog treats on arrival was a nice addition. The fully enclosed garden was very useful for a JRT who would have found a way out if there was one. Appledore seems very dog friendly, we can recommend the Flame Factory (great pizzas and burgers) for a sit in meal, and the fish and chips from the Royal Plaice are very good. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again when in the area.
Thank you so much for your kind review. So happy you enjoyed your stay and your little dog was safe in the garden. Appledore is so dog friendly and hope he enjoyed his treat on arrival.
We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back to Pebble Bay.

"Great location and the house was very well equipped for a comfortable holiday."
It is newly built so excellent bathroom, kitchen and heating facilities and a small, enclosed garden. A fifteen minute walk along a lane and we were in Appledore and it's only a 10 minute drive to the beaches at Westward Ho and Instow. We had a lovely time.

"Really lovely, very new, property."
It was very clean and all the furniture, fixtures and fittings were of a good standard. It was very quiet generally with the odd bit of traffic noise at peak time, not that we really noticed.
The location is excellent and you can get to most if the main areas easily. We walked to Appledore a couple of times which took us approximately 10 minutes, noting it is a steep downhill into the village. It is well served with a couple of good pubs and eateries.
We had some comms with Nikki the owner who was lovely and could not have been more helpful. We will certainly stay again when in Devon.
Thank you so much for your feedback and so happy you enjoyed your stay and Appledore.
We look forward to welcoming you back again to Pebble Bay.

Clean and fresh and very well fitted out. It has everything you would wish for a holiday let. We loved the welcome prosecco, scones, jam and cream. The house is a short car journey to all amenities and the beach. Plus the beds are very very comfortable! Shower very powerful and kitchen has everything you need should you chose to stay in and cook as we did. Directions and access were easy. We will definitely use this accommodation again.

The house was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The cream tea on arrival was much appreciated and there was even a bowl and some treats for our dog. A wonderful area with some beautiful beaches and walks. Lots of dog friendly restaurants in Appledore and the surrounding villages/towns.

Nothing we didn't like but perhaps you could compile a booklet on "places to visit" etc and recommendations for eateries too. We enjoyed Westward Ho and spent an evening or two there at the bar overlooking the beautiful sandy beach and the Thai restaurant was lovely.

"Lovely clean property, secure garden for your furbabies."
Cream tea & strawberries were a welcome bonus after a long drive.
I think Sykes should tell people that the estate is still under construction due to the builders turning up early and there is noise. Also waze does not recognise the postcode or the name Riverview the signage is actually 'Estuary View' but these issues do not deflect what a nice property Pebble Bay is
Thank you so much Michelle for your feedback. Also for your letter you left for us. All the pointers you mentioned have been taken on board and we have acted on them all. We really appreciate any feedback.
We have already bought tea cups for your Mum. So sorry they were not available when you stayed at Pebble Bay.

APPLEDORE
Bideford 4 miles;
Where the Taw and Torridge rivers meet, sits the delightful quayside village of Appledore, next to the River Torridge. Appledore boasts a small but great range of shops, pubs, guesthouses and art galleries. A thriving fishing and trading village since the 14th century, Appledore has been a famous boat-building centre for many years and the shipyard is still active today. Picturesque Appledore provides a peaceful base from which to explore North Devon, and is close to surf beaches.The Quay is very central to life in the village and it is here you will find many activities including fishing trips, crabbing contests on the quay, and sometimes Morris Dancers. This quaint fishing village has a maze of narrow streets leading to the quay.
Just four miles from Appledore,straddling the Torridge estuary, is the quaint bustling town of Bideford boasts a medieval bridge, town quay, quaint pannier market and vibrant shopping area - all well worth a visit. For the more active, several major surfing beaches, golf courses, theme parks and other attractions are nearby and the South West coast path passes close by on its way into Cornwall. The beautiful cliff-top fishing village of Clovelly is half an hour by road, and the delights of Exmoor and Dartmoor can be reached in under an hour. Surf the waves, stroll through pretty villages, wander along the Tarka Trail, visit a famous garden or have some fun at one of the local theme or farm parks – it’s all on the doorstep.
