Galleon's Reach was a clean and very warm. It was ideally situated for our walking holiday. It was great to have a bus stop right outside so that we could go on a long walk and bus back.Instow was just a short walk away and had great pubs and a large deli. We had a fab meal in the Instow Arms.The negative point, for us, was that the flat was way too cluttered. There was nowhere to put things away. There were two wardrobes but one had bedding stacked in it and the other housed a hoover and ironing board! The kitchen was very cluttered too so very little room to prepare meals.However, we had a lovely holiday.

Well equipped apartment and such a welcoming afternoon tea package left out. Road was a little noisy from the second bedroom but it didn’t cause any problems at nighttime. Even with the weather being wet it was the perfect base to explore North Devon and the Tarka trail close by was great for an early morning run. Thank you for a lovely stay.
