Snaptrip says
Pebble Bay is consistently praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and thoughtful touches such as welcome treats. The property's location is ideal for exploring Appledore and nearby beaches, with guests appreciating the secure garden and dog-friendly environment. Comfort is highlighted by the quality of beds and powerful shower. While mostly positive, a few minor maintenance issues and the lack of towels are noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests frequently mention the spotless condition of Pebble Bay, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. One minor comment about an extractor fan needing cleaning prevents a perfect score.
The property is well-located for accessing local amenities and beaches, with a short walk to Appledore and a quick drive to other attractions. Some noise from nearby construction is noted.
The comfort of the property is often highlighted, with special mentions of very comfortable beds and a powerful shower. One guest mentioned soft pillows due to personal preference, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are modern and well-equipped, with a fully enclosed garden and a well-fitted kitchen. Points are deducted for the mention of an unclean extractor fan and the absence of towels, which is unusual for a rental.
The owners are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing welcome packs and dog treats. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Bideford is an historic maritime town on the River Torridge in North Devon. There has been a settlement at Bideford for over a thousand years and it has been an important port throughout its history. Today, Bideford is a thriving town with a fine selection of shops (including individual shops), cafes and restaurants, a park and the Atlantic Village Outlet Shopping Centre located on the outskirts of the town. Bideford is in a fantastic location to explore the surrounding area. It is just a few miles from Westward Ho!, which is dominated by two miles of spectacular coastline and proudly retains the prestigious Blue Flag award year upon year. Its sandy beach, backed by a unique pebble ridge, attracts visitors from all over the country and offers fantastic bathing and watersport activities. Just beyond the pebble ridge is Northam Burrows Country Park, which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has 253 hectares of grassy coastal plain with salt marsh, sand dunes and grasslands. The country park is also home to England's oldest golf course. The South West Coastal Path and the famous traffic-free Tarka Trail are close by, providing magnificent walking and cycling opportunities. The award-winning Big Sheep all weather family attraction and the Ultimate Adventure Centre are approximately a mile down the road, with the Atlantic Village Outlet Shopping Centre and Supermarket a couple of miles away. The delightful quayside village of Appledore and the pretty beach at Instow are both just over three miles away, whilst the traditional market town of Barnstaple is just ten miles away, and the picturesque fishing village of Clovelly, with its quaint cobbled streets, is eleven miles away. The North Devon coast also boasts numerous outstanding beaches, many within easy reach, including those found at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde, Woolacombe and Bude. This is an area of breathtaking beauty, with plenty to see and do for all ages.

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

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.
