Property code: OC-CORONA

This property is located in a most wonderful position, nestling alongside the beautiful Taw Estuary and overlooking the sandy estuary beach of Instow. Wonderful views can be seen from many rooms across the ever-changing tides and towards the pretty village of Appledore and out to sea making this a gorgeous coastal escape for up to eight guests to make memories whatever the season.

This recently refurbished beach villa has been well designed, thoughtfully furnished and stylishly presented throughout with limed wooden floors and gleaming white walls. Laid out over three floors, the house is spacious, light and airy with plenty of room for enjoying wonderful holidays with family and friends. The spacious and stylish open-plan living room is on the first floor so you can make the most of the wonderful views, while the large balcony runs the full width of the house - ideal for enjoying the ebb and flow of the tide and the magnificent sunsets. A pristine, white, high-quality kitchen is at the rear of the property with a large dining table for meals with family and friends and patio doors lead out onto a large, decked patio. Three beautifully finished and inviting bedrooms can be found on the ground floor – two doubles (one with an en-suite) and a twin – as well as an en-suite king-size room on the second floor. There is also a family bathroom on the ground floor.

The pretty village of Instow has everything you could need for a relaxing break and a gentle stroll along the Marine Parade will find a superb delicatessen and cafe and great choice of pubs and restaurants serving locally caught seafood. The wide sandy beach with its gentle tidal waters is ideal for families and during the summer, a variety of water sports can be enjoyed out in the bay and there’s a small (seasonal) foot ferry which you can take across to Appledore. The Tarka Trail can be joined almost from the doorstep for those who wish to walk or cycle the miles of pathways and many family attractions are nearby.

Lovely situation, helped by having parking. Really comfortable property and beautifully clean. The housekeeper Jo was so helpful both prior to visit and with one small issue during our stay. Instow is a really good base for a holiday.

This is our second visit to Corona and would not hesitate to return again. however at 86 and 87 the jury is of course out. Instow features in the family history as my mother worked in the Post Office pre. war and father at Bideford Post Office. They met and married and I was born in Bideford in 1937 with the family moving to Exeter in 1938. Roy Read moreHuxtable (sorry for the family history) Hide

Corona is a beautiful house in a great location. The house is modern, comfortable and has lots of space for you to relax, including two lots of seating areas outside. You get lovely views of the sea and a quiet beach is on your doorstep. You have the added bonus of parking for three cars too!

This, for us, is the perfect holiday home - hence why it is our 3rd visit and we have booked again next year. It is the right size for a couple and 2 friends - we all have space and our own bathrooms. It is light, airy and always spotlessly clean.

Excellently designed cottage to take advantage of the wonderful views and stunning location. Instow is a charming low key resort with a nice beach offering lovely sunsets. There are four pub/restaurants with estuary views, or if you prefer cooking at home the house has everything needed. Highly recommended.
