Beautifully presented and tasteful cottage - super location- parking as described and not too inconvenient- good WiFi and fully equipped- great bedrooms and bathroom- no grass outside and close proximity to other properties mean need to be conscious of neighbours. Close to very dog friendly beach - would certainly book again.

The cottage was fully equipped with a lovely garden to the rear. It was very clean when we arrived and perfect for our dog, who loved being so close to the beach. A beautiful setting, part of the Tarka trail for walking and cycling. We tried out the local hostilities which were all very good. A perfect cottage abd would definitely book again.

Lovely spacious cottage, even nicer than the photos. It is really well equipped with a great patio garden. A sun trap to dine out in in good weather. Very helpful owner and good communication. A lot of love and care has gone into making this a really pleasant place to stay, and a fab location minutes from a dog friendly beach.

Wonderful location, lovely property
We had a lovely stay in Instow. The property is a very short walk from the beach and the town was really lovely. All communication with hosts was clear and friendly. Property was exactly as described and perfect for our needs (3 generations and a small dog!). Would definitely recommend or return ourselves.

Nice property with a good garden, perfect for my family and 2 dogs. A good size which was needed for 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs! Just one thing the loo in the en-suite makes a terrible noise when flushed, but everything else was perfect. The beach was dog friendly and the cottage was a good base for visiting Devon.

One of our favourites
We had been to this cottage last year, we love the fact that it is so close to the beach, restaurants, and Johns deli.
The garden is wonderful and was perfect for our two dogs, the cottage has a good flow, it has all the tools needed for cooking meals and has heating as required,
Instow and this cottage is one of our favourite places.
Not forgetting our new host Karen who responded to our requests with a friendly attitude and a can do approach.
