Waterside North Devon pub with estuary and sea views (Dogs welcome)

The Beaver Inn in Appledore North Devon, awaits your visit to the banks of the Torridge estuary, at the point where the rivers Taw and Torridge join before ending their journey across Devon to the sea.

Enjoy the views over the water to Saunton sands, Braunton, Barnstaple and Instow whilst relaxing in the sunshine, on our riverside patio.

Make your selection from the catch of the day, or our other locally sourced food and our fine choice of wines, beers and real ales.

Dine on the patio, or in the pub with your canine friend, or in the dining room and watch the fishing boats come in on the top of the tide, bringing home the catch of the day.

Ali and Graham and all the staff at the Beaver Inn look forward to giving you a very warm welcome and will endeavour to make your visit a memory that you will want to return to again and again.

• Panoramic estuary and sea views
• Riverside patio
