Treat your loved one to a memorable stay in this cosy cottage in the tranquil village of Instow on the North Devon coast. Sleeping two guests, you'll be just a few hundred metres from a scenic estuary beach and within easy reach of a range of local pubs, cafes and a deli. Inside, the cottage is modern, welcoming and well-equipped for a comfortable and romantic stay.

Discover a light and airy lounge with a sofa and separate armchair, as well as a Smart TV – a wonderful space for snuggling up and watching a film together. The kitchen is well-equipped for all your cooking needs, and there's a breakfast bar for laid-back dining. The double bedroom, up a couple of steps, provides a peaceful space for a good night's sleep. There's also a modern shower room to complete the interior.

Great little stay. Things to note. The Decking isn't private but this is not likely to be a problem. The WiFi is strong and Netflix is already signed in ready to go. The cottage was spotless and pretty much everything you could need. Great relaxing stay. With regards to Instow itself walk to the front as parking is 1 hour or resident only and Read morethere is active ticketing. There is a car park but it is quite small. There's nowhere to get everyday groceries in Instow but 8 minute drive to Fremington there is a co-op, Boots Pharmacy and a fabulous chip shop (Greylings). Wouldn't hesitate to return to Clearwater.

Great location, views of the estuary and easy reach to the beach and walks within a short time. Parking is good, host is welcoming and makes sure we have The bus services are very good and short walk to a stop, don't need to wait long for the next one coming each way, one of the best bus services I have known.

Apartment was well situated, approximately 10 minute walk into Instow, also ideally located if you wanted to drive somewhere for the day, which is what we did. The apartment was beautifully decorated to a really high standard in a quiet location, with excellent views over the estuary. Would definitely recommend and look to book again.
