Nestled on the picture-postcard Instow beachfront, this charming home offers a blissful escape for families or groups of friends, including well behaved dogs. Here, you can indulge in the soothing sounds of gentle waves and bask in breathtaking sunsets straight from your doorstep. Sitting in one of North Devon's most sought-after destinations, Instow is perfect for beach lovers and their dogs and water enthusiasts alike, whilst also providing some fabulous local shops, café’s and fine eateries too. Hikers and cyclists will love easy access to the famous Tarka Trail, ideal for exploring the dramatic North Devon coastline. For more adventure, head to Westward Ho! (5 miles) for typical seaside fun and some thrilling water sports including surfing. Across the estuary lies the picturesque fishing village of Appledore (5.5 miles), known for its narrow streets and bustling quayside which can be also accessed from Instow by a summer seasonal running ferry. Instow itself has fantastic pubs, restaurants and the delightful Glorious Oyster cafe, serving seasonal seafood with – if you’re there at the right time – a side of live entertainment. Fun family days out are easy with The Big Sheep, The Milky Way (both 5 miles away) and North Devon Water Wake Park (12.5 miles) all nearby. Further afield discover the stunning beaches at dog friendly Saunton Sands and Croyde and woodland and moorland walks on Exmoor National Park. Visit privately owned Clovelly (15 miles) with its steep cobbled streets, or the gardens at Tapeley Park or RHS Rosemoor both offer quiet contemplation and both are within 8 miles.
This property really has been finished with relaxation in mind. You can start the day with coffee on the patio at the front of the house, and spend your days popping across to the dog-friendly beach at leisure, returning to the property to gather together in the bright and light lounge on the ground floor. If you fancy some quiet time catching up with a good book, then you can escape to the second lounge in the basement. The bathroom is a wonderful sanctuary-like space, offering not only a shower but also a roll-top bath which sits under a skylight, allowing you to lie back in the bubbles and gaze up at the stars.
Set just behind the sand dunes and overlooking the beach in the North Devon village of Instow, this is the perfect spot for a low-key relaxed holiday by the sea. The beach itself is an attractive stretch of sand, all of which is open to dogs during the low season, with a designated dog-friendly section throughout the year. Also in the village are several places to eat, including a pub less than 100 metres from the property’s front door. Or perhaps you’d prefer to pop into the well-stocked deli, which not only offers an excellent range of local produce, but also a broad selection of carefully selected wines.
