My wife and I stayed at the Commodore Hotel during an overnight stop on a trip to Cornwall. I had used the hotel for business trips on several occasions in the past, but that had been quite a few years ago. I can report that the quality of the hotel has not changed in the years since I was last... More

I have just spent 5 wonderful days staying at this hotel. The attention to detail is the first thing you notice. We stayed in one of the front facing Marine Rooms, the views are lovely and the room furnished to a high standard. Our table in the restaurant was reserved by the window we eat extremely nice meals watching the... More

Stayed here a few times on business, consistently high standard, with friendly helpful staff, comfortable clean rooms and excellent food. Thoroughly recommended and hope I get the chance to stay again.

The hotel has a wonderful setting and a great place to spend time, with plenty of places to sit whilst taking a drink and watching the sun set over Appledore. I've stayed at this hotel three times now and the service along with the food has always been excellent. Well furnished bedrooms and public areas. Plenty of safe car parking... More

Utterly delightful family owned and run hotel with beautiful views. The service is always superb and the food of a very good quality. Not sure why they are 3 rather than 4 star- they certainly deserve greater recognition. Whilst eating lunch today we watched Gary ( 3rd generation owner/manager) run down the drive to help an elderly couple to walk... More

I stayed at the Commodore in March with a group of friends having been forced to cancel our North Wales driving break due to weather conditions. The Commodore is a very smart, well-presented hotel in a fabulous quiet location directly overlooking the sea. The bedrooms have clearly been recently renovated and were immaculate, bright and comfortable. The hotel bar is... More

This is my first time at this hotel and will certainly not be my last. For a three star hotel the food and service are above ones expectations. The bedrooms are very clean and simple and the views over the estuary are wonderful (not all rooms have a view but it is worth having a room that does).

Last minute decision to spend a few days in our favourite hotel was a great one! Even the weather was kind - though we didn't partake in our usual hikes over the hills, we were there for the relaxation - some short strolls were energising enough!. Service as good as ever and the food...... even after the Christmas feasts we... More
