Very comfortable rooms, warm welcome & delicious home cooked breakfast. Gil and Dave were very friendly and helpful with all our questions about the area. We had a great time here in Devon and Cornwall enjoying beaches and coast path, gardens, small villages, narrow roads. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We are looking forward to come back...

Lovely room, clean and private. Breakfast really good, homemade bread and yogurt. Eggs from their own chickens. Swimming pool for sunny days. Perfect setting for Dartmoor or visits to Plymouth or the beach. Look forward to returning.

Gil and Dave made us so welcome. The room was beautiful, clean and welcoming. Tea/coffee with fresh milk available. Breakfast was lovely, local produce, eggs from their own chickens. Set in a ideal position for exploring towns, moor or even beaches (an hour away). Tavistock is a lovely shopping centre.

We rated this as the best we stopped in while touring the UK. Mine hosts, Gil and Dave, were very welcoming and willing to go out of their way to make our three night stay there as enjoyable as possible. Very helpful with their knowledge of the area pointing out local dining options. Their homemade bread and jams for breakfast... More

We went to Appledown House on the recommendation of a friend, and we owe her a considerable thank you for telling us about the B&B. My friend and I were traveling all over the UK using BritRail passes, spending about 3 days in each location. Unfortunately, there's no train station in Tavistock, but we wanted to explore some places in... More

The hosts Gil and Dave are fantastic, so welcoming and willing to make your stay a really special one. The rooms are ultra clean and nice with fresh towels each day and tea and coffee making facilities with the added bonus of fresh milk left in a flask for you to use. Nice touches like freshly brewed coffee as soon... More

Staying at Appledown House for 3 nights, while my sister and I were researching our family tree, was a really lovely experience. My husband and I shared the twin bedded room with the conservatory, whilst my sister had the interconnecting room - both were exceptionally comfortable, clean and welcoming. Both showers were powerful and refreshing, with clean towels each day.... More

My family of 4 stayed 3 nights in the 2 inter-connecting rooms whilst we were attending a family wedding. Gill & Dave were great hosts who were friendly, welcoming and very generous. Dave dropped us off at the wedding and they even looked after our dog all day while we were at the wedding. The rooms were clean, comfortable and... More

We were looking for a nice B&B close to Tavistock for a family birthday party and had this little gem recommended to us by a local! We booked the twin bedded room with its own conservatory overlooking the swimming pool and wonderful views of Dartmoor. It is very spacious and was very clean with comfortable beds and good quality bedding.... More
