Guests say
Sheerwater is a well-maintained and clean property boasting stunning views and a prime location for exploring North Devon. Guests appreciate the modern amenities, comfortable furnishings, and the peaceful atmosphere of the quaint coastal village. Despite some concerns about the exterior and parking, the interior receives high praise for its tasteful decor and homely feel.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as immaculate, very clean, and well maintained.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views and proximity to local attractions, including Appledore and the North Devon coast, though the exterior design of the estate received some criticism.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of comfy beds and a cosy atmosphere, although one review suggested the double bedroom was slightly cramped due to excess furniture.
Facilities are generally seen as excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. However, some guests suggested minor improvements such as additional cleaning supplies and sheer blinds for privacy.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

As others have said, the flats look like a 1960s local authority development. And from the parking area you have at least one flight of steps, plus a slope or more steps. However once inside the flat is warm, very clean, well equipped with all the basics. I especially liked a light bright enough to read by (but dimmable) in sitting area, pyrex bowls for use in microwave, blackout blinds in bedrooms. The view over the estuary is fantastic. Hot water is a bit slow, but instantaneous heater so always plenty of it. Proper fridge freezer (not just an ice box), washer and dryer in kitchen. Central heating was efficient. Single beds were quite firm, I would have found the perfect 20 years ago but now need something a bit squishier. Duvets were 10.5 tog, I took my own summer weight duvet which was ideal. The towels were large and fluffy. There were both dishwasher tabs and washing up liquid, which was great, a washing up sponge or similar would be appreciated, as would a cloth for cleaning bath (I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere which had one!)Street parking adjacent to flats on first come first served basis. 15minute brisk walk to bakery, deli, eateries.No overnight noise from neighbours. Downstairs flat has built decking into the bank at the back of the flat and if in use (in summer I guess) would give view right in to back of flat so net curtail or similar in bedrooms might be a bonus.Dealing with the management company was straightforward and they were very pleasant on the phone. All in all a really nice place to stay, happy to recommend to anyone with good mobility, and would be very happy to stay there again.

We had a great stay at Sheerwater despite the weather. We were visiting family in Westward Ho! . It was our first stay at Sheerwater, it definitely won’t be our last!The apartment is clean and cosy. It is very spacious and had everything to make our stay feel comfortable. If you sit on the sofa and look out the window, the view looks like a beautiful scenic picture. You can forgive the outside as the inside is lovely.
