Get away from the rush of everyday life, and escape with friends and family to this stylish property in the small friendly fishing village of Instow. Its location makes it ideal for relaxing breaks, as you don’t need to travel far for a great day out. Less than 0.5 miles from the door is the warm sand of Instow Beach, and you can stroll across to one of the restaurants and cafes for a light lunch. Return to the house and enjoy a dip in the hot tub.
Richly decorated interiors set the scene for a sophisticated stay. In contrast to the environment outside, you can lie back in an evening with your feet up amidst splendid soft furnishings and stylish detailing. The open-plan layout is bright and airy and means there’s plenty of space to spread out. Enjoy a glass of wine in the conservatory flooded with natural light and sit down for dinner together at the dining table. Go for a soak in the roll top bath or stargaze from the hot tub in the enclosed garden, then unwind with a film in the lounge. You’ll feel refreshed and energised for your adventures the next day.
Explore the nearby villages and towns. Just across the water is Appledore (5.5 miles), and the two villages operate a seasonal passenger ferry. Board the boat for a pleasant trip on the River Torridge. For a traditional day at the seaside, Westward Ho! ( 5.5 miles) is a bustling town with a glorious stretch of beach and the Northam Burrows Country Park, which is popular with walkers. Don’t miss out on a boat trip to the remote and beautiful Lundy Island, sailing from Bideford (4 miles).
