Property code: SANDB

From its elevated position above the lovely village of Instow in North Devon, this property offers stunning views of the River Torridge, the fishing village of Appledore across the estuary and, on a clear day, Lundy Island. Only a few hundred metres away in Instow there is a sandy estuary beach, sand dunes and water to paddle in, as well as a selection of good pubs and eateries on the sea front with breathtaking views.

Sandy Bay is a comfortable bungalow which has been decorated nicely throughout to ensure you will feel at home. The lounge/diner has spectacular views across the rooftops to the estuary and beyond. The lounge now has a new Smart TV and a dvd player with a small selection of dvds. Its master bedroom boasts similar views, allowing you to enjoy your surroundings throughout the property. On summer evenings, you can sit on the terrace at the front, watching the sun setting as you enjoy a nice glass of wine. There is also a lawn to the rear, which is now enclosed, where you’ll find a summer house. Please note that any property with increased accessibility may have different levels of provision, so it is therefore advisable to contact us before booking.

The vast, sandy beach and clean surf of Westward Ho! is only 5 miles away and for families, there is The BIG Sheep (5 miles) and The Milky Way (12 miles).

Had a lovely stay and the beach here at instow is superb, sandy and great for dog owners. Peaceful road and plenty of room for cars at the property. The house is large and very comfortable with glorious views of the sea and sheep in a field the other way with all types of birds. The garden IS gated for dog owners and enclosed. Owners are very pleasRead moreant and helpful and took care to communicate with your stay. Some lovely places to eat by the beach or a short hop to a quirky Appledore Hide

Great location, 5 minutes from the beach, pubs, deli and Tarka Trail. The owner kept in contact in case of any problems( there weren't any) Beautiful sea views from the lounge, bedroom and outdoor seating area. Well equipped kitchen and lovely comfy beds. Perfect for our party of a couple and 2 single friends, plus of course a dog friendly propertyRead more. Hide

Property was very comfortable and well equipped. Although the garden isnt fully enclosed, when speaking to the owner, prior to arrival, as we have a dog, there is provision to enclose the garden if you so wish which was reassuring and which we took advantage of. The view is fabulous and the peace and quiet was welcomed. A lovely rest.

A really lovely property! Very comfortable accommodation with great views over the estuary. After a day out it was perfect to sit on the veranda in the sun with a drink. Within easy walk of beach, shop and restaurant.

A lovely comfortable house in a great location (dont let talk of the hill put you off. I hate hills but this was not a problem). We would definitely stay again.
