We had a great time in this very conveniently positioned house. The beach is just across the road, and some nice places to eat virtually next door. The road outside at night is very quiet at night. If youre looking for somewhere close to the beach to walk the dog, this is it!

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

Had a fantastic week in this lovely house right on Instow beach. The house was perfect for us- a family of 5 and a dog. The kids loved playing in the sand dunes directly across a very quiet road. The master bedroom views are breathtaking and we loved lying in bed watching the sun set.
