Property code: SANDB

A fabulous single-storey property offering absolutely gorgeous views of the River Torridge estuary, situated in the fishing village of Instow, this property would make a great choice if you were looking for a relaxed holiday close to a quiet beach. There are many miles of walks to be enjoyed, either along the South West Coast Path or along the banks of the Torridge towards Bideford (3.5 miles).

A flight of external steps leads from the pavement, up to a terrace seating area at the front of this property, and on towards the front door. Once inside, you will be met with a welcoming open-plan living area which has been set out in an L-shape, with the lounge tucked around the corner from the dining area. Both the lounge and kitchen have huge picture windows, which not only flood both rooms with light but also offer estuary views. The lounge now has a new Smart Tv and a dvd player with a small selection of dvds. The property has two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, as well as a generously-sized bathroom with a shower over the bath. In addition to the terrace at the front of the property, you will find outside space to the rear where there is a lawn complete with pretty summerhouse, which is now enclosed.

Wake up each morning and start the day with a stroll down to the village beach (0.3 miles), before stopping for breakfast at the welcoming cafe which can be found within the village’s well-stocked delicatessen. Head back to the property and gather together everything you’ll need the day ahead, then perhaps visit the huge beach at Westward Ho! a section of which is open to dogs all year round, or go down to the harbour town of Bideford, with its interesting array of shops and a weekly market.

  • 2 bedrooms - king-size bedroom and twin bedroom
  • Z bed available for a child (bedding provided on request)
  • Bathroom with bath with shower over, bidet and WC
  • Separate WC
  • Electric oven, gas hob, microwave and fridge with ice compartment, countertop freezer

Had a lovely stay and the beach here at instow is superb, sandy and great for dog owners. Peaceful road and plenty of room for cars at the property. The house is large and very comfortable with glorious views of the sea and sheep in a field the other way with all types of birds. The garden IS gated for dog owners and enclosed. Owners are very pleasRead moreant and helpful and took care to communicate with your stay. Some lovely places to eat by the beach or a short hop to a quirky Appledore Hide

Great location, 5 minutes from the beach, pubs, deli and Tarka Trail. The owner kept in contact in case of any problems( there weren't any) Beautiful sea views from the lounge, bedroom and outdoor seating area. Well equipped kitchen and lovely comfy beds.

Property was very comfortable and well equipped. Although the garden isnt fully enclosed, when speaking to the owner, prior to arrival, as we have a dog, there is provision to enclose the garden if you so wish which was reassuring and which we took advantage of. The view is fabulous and the peace and quiet was welcomed. A lovely rest.

A really lovely property! Very comfortable accommodation with great views over the estuary. After a day out it was perfect to sit on the veranda in the sun with a drink. Within easy walk of beach, shop and restaurant.
