Lovely place to stay to tour the area. Beds comfortable. Kitchen kitted out with everything you would need. Very quiet area, even with the road nearby. I'm a light sleeper but slept very well. Sofas comfortable, neutral decoration with seaside themed accessories. Fabulous view from the sitting room and balcony. Easy access to Instow (beach is gRead morereat for dogs all year round). Westward Ho! has a dog friendly beach (not all of it is though). You can walk to it or it's a 5 minute drive and nearby Appledore is a lovely small village. Not far from Bideford and Barnstaple. Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. Hide

Great position with lovely views. Quieter than the houses nearer the road. Weve stayed in 5 or 6 different Greenways houses so know them well. Lovely touch to leave pastries and flapjacks for our arrival (AND daffs in a vase!) Fabulous weather, clear blue skies and not a cloud all week, very lucky!!
