Top Instow Beach Hotel Reviews

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

8/10 Good

"Nice property. Check in was later than expected due to the cleaner still being there on our arrival at check in time of 4pm . The cleaner was very apologetic very nice and very helpful . She left it spotless when we got in at 4.40. We enjoyed the lounge which was beautifully done and the garden for breakfast . It appears as though the owners are gradually updating the property . The two middle bedrooms , I would say are still a bit dated . The en-suite particularly so . The upstairs bedroom in the eves looked very nice . Good location not far from the big and lovely dog friendly beach . Being very close to Johns of Instow was a bonus . Parking was a bit of an issue but we stayed in September so still lots of restrictions in place . You have a parking permit for your stay at the local Cricket ground but we didn’t use it as we thought it quite away from the house itself. Property down a private narrow lane so very quiet . We normally stay in Appledore and lovely as Instow is we prefer the other side of the estuary where there is more options to eat and walk . Very dog friendly property . Karen the owner is extremely helpful and quick to respond."

The Royal George

8/10 Good

"Comfortable bed. Nice room. Espresso machine in room - excellent. Blinds were a bit broken and not blackout. Single glazing which was mostly ok at this time of year but anyone or vehicle who did go past definitely disturbed our sleep. Bath towels were small, not bath sheets. Lovely friendly staff. Good vibe. Chilled. No parking which we didnt realise until we got there. Would be useful to have that flagged before travelling so you can go straight to one of the public car parks."

Instow Barton

10/10 Excellent

"Caroline is a great host…."

Sailors Rest

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Great view. Comfortable room. Outside area could be more presentable."

Tillerman Cottage (Appledore) Devon

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most amazing time at Tillerman cottage. Everything was spotless clean, comfy beds and lovely powerful shower. The host was very attentive with information on cottage and the area to. We parked the car and did not use it for the 4 days we was here. Definitely would stay again. Thank you so much."

MOORINGS VIEW APARTMENT INSTOW - Parking, Garden, Estuary Views

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful find! Such a beautiful place, so nicely furnished - with amazing beds and linen!! a beautiful location …. Handy for the beach and Tarka trail. Very welcoming hosts - couldn’t make us feel more welcome. Cannot fault this beautiful apartment - will return!"

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!"

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."

1 Quayside, Heart Of Appledore - Free WiFi - Wood Burner

8/10 Good
