  • A charming and spacious property in an idyllic location adjacent to the golden sandy beach 
  • Located in the village of Instow just a short walk from the sandy beach, local deli, cafés and restaurants
  • Fantastic location for exploring all that North Devon has to offer
Property code: INSBR

Wake up to uninterrupted views of Instow beach when you stay at this stylish light-filled property in the heart of this pretty seaside village. Boasting two separate lounges and a beachfront patio, you will find plenty of space to relax and unwind alongside your fellow guests and up to two of your much-loved dogs.

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.

Perfect location. Perfect cottage. Will definitely be returning. My dogs thought they were in heaven :-) Great location opposite the beach and within walking distance of great pubs, eateries and deli. Ferry to Appledore if you don't want to drive. House clean, cosy and we found people were stopping outside to admire it. Would highly recommend.

As a family who have stayed at dozens of places around the UK and Instow, we can comfortably say this is the best place yet. Other than a few extra suggestions we made, we really couldn't fault this place and so comfortable and homey. Great location too! A small note for those who struggle with steps/stairs, this place does have a few to climb to gRead moreet in and get to the bedrooms. If that isn't an issue, then this is the best we have stayed in so far. Loved it and will be back again and again! Hide

We recently spent a week in Instow, Devon, staying at Breakers on Marine Parade. The beach front location is great and offers wonderful views across the estuary to Appledore. Besides the location, we chose to stay at Breakers as it provided ample space for our party of six plus dog. At more than 3,000 for the week and being our first vacation for sRead moreeveral years, we were treating ourselves to a bit of luxury. The property offers two en-suite double bedrooms and a further bedroom with twin bed Hide

Also the welcome pack and flowers were a very nice touch. Our fourth visit to this wonderful property overlooking the beach and it wont be our last.

Lovely house, very cosy and welcoming. 2 great pubs next door that both serve good food. Parking was not available outside the property but can be arranged at the Commodore Hotel for 45 per week , it would have been good to know this when we booked. The games room would be great for kids but not suitable for anyone over 5'8 tall.

The cottage is really lovely and very spacious. We loved all the extra touches like a pint of milk in the fridge, treats and a blanket for the dogs, a nice selection of biscuits and a bottle of wine and also a chocolate for each person left on the towels. Parking is a bit of an issue as you have to have a permit. We were able to park in the CommodoRead morere Hotel just down the road but this was a further 45 for the week. Not sure if this was stated with the property details but should be if not! Hide
