A wonderful stay in an absolutely beautiful house in an excellent location. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable and pleasurable as possible, even down to providing many board games and books for both the adults and the children. The property was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was fully equipped with every utility you require to cook for the family. The hot tub, fire-pit and games room made for a perfect family holiday. The owners had left a wonderful welcome hamper, including wine and cold water in the fridge and had even stocked the freezer with ice cubes. We would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stay in Instow.

Mr Myatt
The most perfect house in the most perfect spot. An easy walk to the beach, the Tarka trail and a short drive to other sandy beaches. One guest used the seapool at Westward Ho! every morning. The fact we are planning a return in the future says it all. The house is spacious and so well equipped. Thoughtful touches including coffees, a range of teas etc. as well as a welcome hamper. The garden was a great space with the hot tub and firepit well used and a large outdoor table with room for us all to sit at. Another thoughtful touch was the provision of hooded towelling robes. Thank you for everything.
