Dog-friendly cottages in Instow

Pet-friendly holiday cottages in Instow, Devon

The coastal village of Instow in Devon is an ideal destination for a dog-friendly holiday. Situated on the estuary where the Torridge and Taw rivers meet, it’s a peaceful spot to spend quality time with your family. Fly a kite, play ball games or spread out with a picnic by the dunes on the dog-friendly beach. Tire out your boisterous hound on a walk along the Tarka Trail, which weaves through Instow. As it passes alongside the estuary, see if you can spot any interesting wildlife. The South West Coast Path also goes through the village so can be accessed from our Instow holiday cottages. Enjoy sea views and woodland trails as you head towards Bucks Mills and Clovelly.

During the summer, you can hop aboard the ferry that runs across the estuary from Instow to Appledore, home to several dog-friendly pubs if you fancy a drink or spot of lunch. Instow is 3 miles from the historic harbour town of Bideford and 5 miles from Westward Ho!, where walks along the seafront will put the colour back in your cheeks. Your four-legged friend can run wild at Northam Burrows Country Park, a vast grassy plain featuring the famous Pebble Ridge. If you’re looking for holidays with pets in this beautiful part of North Devon, our collection of dog-friendly cottages in Instow offers everything from apartments with balconies to large family cottages just steps from the beach.
