This charming holiday home lies in the historic fishing village of Instow in North Devon, at the meeting of the River Taw and River Torridge. Sleeping six guests, it’s perfectly placed for families, with the South West Coast Path, shops, pubs, and attractions less than half a mile away. The charming market town of Bideford (3 miles) offers a vibrant pannier market; a Victorian town park with an art gallery, cafe, and paddling pool; and a port with day trips to nature-loving Lundy Island.
Take a flight of steps up to the property entrance where an Edwardian hallway leads through to contemporary country-style interiors; you can also enter the property from the rear garden steps. This pretty home from home offers beautiful furnishings and period features throughout. Watch sailboats from the comfort of living room sofas and enjoy home cooking in the well-equipped kitchen (note: there’s a step from the kitchen to the ground floor WC). Settle into one of the three bedrooms upstairs: one twin with two steps up to it, one double with rural views and one king-size with views of the estuary. On sunny afternoons, relax outside on the patio and make plans for your favourite holiday activities.
Hop on two wheels and enjoy a family adventure along the traffic-free Tarka Trail (0.5 miles). Take the short passenger ferry over to the pretty cobbled streets of Appledore (4.5 miles) which hosts a September book festival. Young children will love The Big Sheep adventure park (4.5 miles), and the Instow Signal Box (0.5 miles) where you can have a safe go at manoeuvring tracks. And green-fingered guests will find garden inspiration and sustainability ideas at Tapeley Park (1 mile), along with family-friendly activities at RHS Rosemoor gardens (9.5 miles).
