Book Direct: Best Rates + Benefits

Welcome to The Seagate

Kick back with a coastal break at The Seagate in North Devon. Situated in the heart of the pretty fishing village of Appledore, our characterful inn is the perfect base to explore the dramatic coastline of the South West Coast Path and soak up the salty breeze of the Atlantic.

After a day out in the wild, head back to the pub for a hearty feast, a few local ales, and a warm welcome from our very own landlady Ruthie – the heart and soul of the Seagate, known for her wicked sense of humour and spot-on pint-pulling. In summer, settle in for an evening of wining and dining in our courtyard or out front on The Quay. In winter, cosy up by the roaring fire with a comforting British classic and a glass of something special.

And don’t leave your furry companions behind – we’re dog friendly too. The coast is calling… come and join us.

Meet Landlady Ruthie

With a wicked sense of humour and a twinkle in her eye, Ruthie is the heart and soul of The Seagate. Equal parts mischief-maker and master of hospitality, she remembers your name, your drink, and probably that one story you hoped she’d forget. Expect the warmest of Appledore welcome from Ruthie and the whole crew. Come and join us for a pint, a bite, and a proper good time.

Women’s Six Nations in Appledore

Join us for all the action of the Women’s Six Nations, live on our big screens. Soak up the buzzing atmosphere, enjoy top-notch food, and raise a glass with perfectly poured pints as we cheer on the best in women’s rugby.

England enter as defending champions, having completed a Grand Slam in 2024. With six consecutive Women’s Six Nations titles under their belt, can they make it seven?
