Situated in the quiet spot in the lovely village of Instow on the North Devon coast, this modern cottage provides a perfect base for couples or small families looking to explore the local area. The sandy beach is easily accessible through the back gate, and an array of much-loved restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries are just a few minutes walk away. A seasonal ferry runs between Instow and Appledore, which is great for a day trip to enjoy the local sights and sample the eateries across the water. Or, Westward Ho! Is just 5 miles away, with all the seaside fun the family could want - from fresh hot doughnuts and amusements to water sports lessons and the chance to swim in the sea.

Feel right at home from the moment you step in the door with the open-plan living space. This thoughtfully furnished property offers a two and three seater sofa in the lounge space, with a dining table for four just a few metres away ensuring there’s space for everyone to enjoy. The electric wood burner on cosy winter evenings creates a warming atmosphere to reflect back on the day. On the first floor are the two bedrooms, one double which benefits from a TV and a wardrobe for storage, while the twin is great for children. The property is served by a white, nautical family bathroom with a shower.

Outside, the private patio garden offers a great place to enjoy a meal on summer evenings complete with a dining table for four and a selection of pretty plants.

This is a lovely cosy cottage, literally a stone's throw from the beach. The decoration is tasteful and pleasant; everything is extremely comfortable. The owner is on hand next door to answer any queries. The garden is a sunny spot and well-equipped with garden furniture. It has a pleasant paved, enclosed garden with a back gate which meant my dogRead more could enter here rather than through the front door when she was wet. I have stayed in a few pet-friendly cottages and this one really was pet-friendly. There was a water bowl outside, treats and towels. I asked for a stair-gate so that my dog could not go upstairs and this was ready fitted for my arrival. I had a really happy holiday in this cottage and will definitely return next year for a longer stay. Thank you, Lorraine. Hide
