Another wonderful stay
Everything you could possibly need in this clean and spacious apartment. This is our second stay and we will return. The bus stop is just a step away, the beach only a few minutes walk and the view of the water always changing. Highly recommended. Ian the host is really helpful and quick to respond to questions.

Lovely flat, gorgeous views
We had a great week at this lovely, clean, well-equipped flat. We really enjoyed the gorgeous view of the estuary over to Appledore and watching the changing tides. The location was excellent for all our day trips and the property was one of the nicest we have stayed in. Ian, the owner was very helpful and responsive to queries. We would happily recommend this property to others.

Perfect location, lovely apartment
We had a lovely stay in Instow and exploring the surrounding areas. Ian’s apartment was perfect and fully equipped. Thank you for the tea and biscuits on arrival, much appreciated and nice touch after a long journey. We would love to stay again and get to see those sunsets! Thank you for having us and for being so helpful.

lovely spot
Very conveniently situated property overlooking the old station building (yacht club) and Tarka Trail. Easy walk to pubs, deli etc. Not many properties in this area have the designated parking this flat has. Buses nearby, bike hire 10 mins away at Fremington Quay. Lovely sunsets due to westerly facing building, can be windy though.

Lovey views, very welcoming and bright.
A delight to walk into after traveling. Bright, airy and clean. The kitchen supplies all excellent quality and plenty. The view of the village and Appledore in all weathers and times of day was lovely. The bus stop a few steps from the door an added bonus. I hope it’s free the next time we visit !

Autumn in Instow
Beautifully presented, well stocked, comfortable flat overlooking Instow harbour. Yatch club obscures view from balcony and it overlooks the coast path so there is plenty of activity, but it is on the first floor so it is not too obtrusive. Lots of places to eat and drink in Instow and the tarka trail and beach on the doorstep.
