Top Instow Beach Hotel Reviews

Seagate

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here a number of times and always enjoy our stay. The staff are very helpful and the pub generally has a good atmosphere."

Instow Barton

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent homecooked breakfast with lots of choice. Easy off road parking. Spacious, quiet airy rooms. Very friendly and helpful hosts. 10 minute walk to the beach and restaurants/pubs."

Appledore Factory

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location and a lovely flat. The skylights make it feel really light and airy, with fantastic sea views. It was exactly what we needed for our mini break in Devon. We also had a meal at their restaurant downstairs, the Flame Factory, which was wonderful. The staff were absolutely fantastic and so warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!"

Instow period cottage, sleeps 6, close to beach, dog friendly

10/10 Excellent

"A great holiday cottage close to the beach. Very clean with lots of additional extras that made our stay so lovely."

The Wayfarer Inn

8/10 Good

"Very nice room with sea view, unfortunately very steep stairs to get there and as suffering mobility issues, not the best, although staff were not aware. Breakfast excellent, and evening meal for 7 highly commented on favourably, hot plates and food. Unfortunately a bout of food poisoning occurred overnight, although the source cannot be confirmed but suspected. Would recommend and stay again. Chair to be placed in room in September after renovations will be a bonus."

* Fisherman’s Cottage * with river views

10/10 Excellent

"Das Cottage war absolut entzückend. Alt und neu in gemütlicher Kombination, Wohnzimmer und Schlafzimmer gemütlich, gute Betten, viel Komfort. Das Bad war ein Traum! Man hat sich sehr gerne im Haus aufgehalten. Zum Kochen alles da, was man braucht, die hintere Terrasse gut zu nutzen. Die Lage in Appledore gut, um abends einen Spaziergang zu den diversen Pubs zu machen. Wir waren mit dem Fahrrad auf dem Tarker Trail unterwegs und haben in der Umgebung alles angeschaut, was für uns sehenswert war. Winziges Manko ist die derzeitige Baustelle direkt vor dem Haus, die leider auch langfristig die Aussicht auf den Fluss beeinträchtigen wird. Aber dafür kann das wunderschöne Haus ja nichts!Ach ja. Es war heiß und wir waren sehr sportlich unterwegs…für eine Woche okey, bei zwei Wochen wäre eine Waschmaschine schon toll! "

Character 3 bed, dog friendly holiday home in Instow overlooking the beach

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Upper Instow Cottage and found it quirky and comfortable. 3 decent sized bedrooms with comfy beds, plenty of storage, a dining room (which we didn't use as it was lovely weather so we ate on the terrace), plenty of seating in the lounge and an entrance hall area which I wasn't expecting from the photos. It is an old building, so there are some imperfections but it is charming, clean and the view from the terrace is spectacular. The location is lovely - a stones throw from pubs and a beautiful sandy beach. A great base to explore North Devon."

MOORINGS VIEW APARTMENT INSTOW - Parking, Garden, Estuary Views

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect. Everything is spot on. The communication was very clear and prompt, the property was very clean and equipped to a high standard. An excellent location with superb views from the apartment and just a short walk through their garden to the Quay and then to the sandy beach. Instow has a lovely deli, pubs and restaurants. It is a good location to explore Devon. The hosts are lovely, friendly and non-intrusive and happy to help. An absolute gem."

The Royal George

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were amazing. So helpful and friendly. Beautiful bespoke room. Amazing food and drinks. Perfect location"
