Cottage holiday rentals in Instow

This property is absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable! We loved our stay. There was plenty of room and having so many bathrooms was definitely a plus. This was a great home base for our Cornwall adventures!

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a great week. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. All the crockery, utensils and pans you need for cooking. Hot tub was certainly a favourite and well used! Nice to have plastic ‘glasses’ for use outside. Great selection of games was a nice surprise. Being able to walk the dog right from the doorstep made it so easy - we really enjoyed exploring the smallholding. Hosts were very quick to respond with answers and support. Yes, the Tesco delivery man did manage to find us and unload :-)

Very lovely place, me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend and had no complaints. The host responded quickly and the property looked exactly like the photos. All the extra little touches like the fire wood, slippers, eggs and etc really made us feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would happily stay here again.

Wow! What an incredible stay. We are so happy with our stay. Everything in the property you’d need to have a relaxing home-like stay. The host recommended visiting Covelly which we loved. The hot tub was a great touch as well. Thank you x

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honeysuckle Cottage. Spotlessly clean and bright. Very well equipped modern kitchen. Comfortable lounge and bedrooms and a sunny conservatory for dining in. Our host Helen welcomed us and a gorgeous cream tea awaited us, together with homemade scones, jam and bread. Milk, butter and eggs also provided. Such attention to detail. The garden is pretty and dog safe. Helen even provided dog bowls and towels and a treat! We would highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

Such a beautiful little place, Sally provided everything you could need. She was so responsive and gave recommendations for restaurants and pubs. Made our stay so easy and a seamless check in/out. Thanks Sally!!

Lesley’s place was perfect for our needs. It was peaceful and it was close to all of the things we wanted to do in the area. The cottage was clean, the kitchen has everything we needed to cook and eat in. It was a bit of a climb to get to the entrance and it was two floors, so anyone with mobility issues should look at that. However, we had a great stay in a very beautiful part of the UK.

A really lovely cottage with beautiful walks near by. It’s a nice place to go to for a quiet romantic get away.

We were really impressed with Owl Barn Cottage. Beautifully decorated with a modern feel. We went with our two children and the books and games inside the cottage were a lovely addition to have at hand. The games barn and go carts in the courtyard was fun for them too. The garden area to the cottage was lovely with peaceful views of the surrounding fields. We loved the animals that were on site and Alex kindly let us meet and feed them too. The pizza night that Alex also hosts where you can create your own pizza and cook in the outdoor pizza oven was also great. We would highly recommend staying here as the location was only a short distance to explore some lovely beaches in the Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde area.

Ben's cottage was stunning — we loved every moment of our stay. If it were possible to give 6 out of 5 stars, I would have. The surrounding area was breathtaking, we enjoyed wandering through the fields and visited the vineyard, where we sampled some fantastic wine. There were also some excellent local pubs close by, all serving delicious food. Everything felt convenient, peaceful, and just perfect — there wasn’t a single thing we could fault. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Marc and Amy were fantastic hosts! They provided everything promised. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness toward their guests is apparent. Marc gave us a thorough tour and history of the property which was fascinating - especially coming from the states where buildings aren’t nearly that old! Our only honest regret is that we didn’t book a few more days so we could spend more time on the property to explore and appreciate the hard work they’ve put into its upkeep and restoration.

Wow! Fantastic accommodation - beautiful and tastefully decorated. Everything you need is already thought of. Set in the most idyllic setting with a beautiful walk on doorstep. Simon and Tracey respond immediately. Thank you for the cake guys. Perfect place to stay.

We had a wonderful 3 weeks at the barn and were very sad to leave! As soon as we arrived, I felt myself relax. The gardens and farmland were beautiful and so peaceful, and the barn itself was thoughtfully considered, spotlessly clean, spacious and very well furnished. We had a lot of fun exploring around the farm with our 3 year old - playing down by the river and rowing the boat on one of the small lakes. It was amazing to have this on our doorstep! We visited a lot of places during our stay but my favourite was probably Boscastle - we enjoyed walking through the village through the valley to the cliffs and watching the blowhole in action. We loved the Boscastle Farm Shop & Cafe too - we sat outside enjoying the wonderful views while we ate delicious food and our little one had fun in the play area. Liz and Robert were the best hosts - we really enjoyed chatting with them and they were super responsive when we needed anything. I really hope we can return to stay again one day!

Excellent accommodation. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings. High standard of cleanliness and clutter-free, yet all facilities we needed. Would 100% stay here again. 20 mins walk to beach. Really great local pub/food.

This was the second time we stayed at this cottage as we had such a positive experience the first time. It is perfect for us as a couple with one small dog and the garden is completely secure. Would recommend parking on the Caen Street car park for peace of mind £6 all day and it is a short walk over the bridge to the cottage. The dog got an early walk to feed the meter at 9. Great location to all local beaches but Saunton best for all year round dog access. Lots of restaurants and pubs within walking distance so no worries about drinking and driving. Will be booking again for next year. Thanks Rich for good communication.

Lovely well equipped little barn conversion in a very peaceful location, and ideally situated for exploring North Devon. Mary and John were very friendly and the enclosed field was ideal for exercising our dog. A very enjoyable stay.

Perfect location close to beach and great restaurants. Wonderful walks on the doorstep on the Tarka Trail. The cottage had everything we needed except an iron but it didn’t matter. The shower was so powerful i think I will miss it 😁 Our dogs loved the dog bed provided so much we have bought a similar one. I would definitely recommend staying here. We had a lovely time.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Granary. The cottage was well equipped with appliances, spotlessly clean and well presented. We booked our stay here incredibly last minute, yet Dominic still responded within the hour. We will look to book here again in the future. Thank you for accommodating us.

The Coach House at Porlock Weir Is such a lovely property so comfortable, well positioned & much closer to the sea than the pictures would suggest. We loved our stay so much that have already rebooked for next year. Thank you to Chris & the team for an absolutely memorable & relaxing stay. P.s. our 2 hounds enjoyed it too🐶🐶👍

We had a brilliant stay at Hideaway Cottage. It was well equipped, comfortable for 4 adults and the views (and sunsets) from the garden were absolutely stunning. Appledore itself is a perfect location to explore North Devon. Thanks also for the cream tea!

I had a lovely stay in the stables. The place is cute and cost, perfect for 1-2 people. I was pre warned about the access path getting a little muddy, but it wasn’t too bad on this occasion. Owners were helpful

Lovely place with own nearby off street parking. Quaint location amongst the higgldy pigeldy houses. Very clean, fast wifi, lots of hot water. Nice terrace overlooking (few houses away) river for morning coffee. We were there off season and very peaceful. 5 min walk to Appledore quayside with great restaurants and pubs. Short drive to lovely beaches and the rest of North Devon. Our first time in the area but I'm sure we'll be back.

Appledore is a beautiful place and the cottage was delightful. We felt at home straight away. It was really comfortable and well equipped. There’s good walking and cycling and the ferry between Appledore and Instow was fun. Hockings ice cream was delicious. Would love to return to Appledore soon

This is a lovely little cottage. Fab location. A very short walk to some lovely eateries. It was very clean and communication with the host was quick and responsive. The only downside was there was very little outside space to enjoy the good weather. The courtyard is very small and didn't get the sun.We had to go to the pub to sit outside. A couple of points which might have improved our experience. Not enough toilet roll. 3 adults for 3 nights need more toilet roll. Trying to find a shop on a bank holiday wasn't great. Most Airbnb houses have some sort of welcome pack including tea, coffee etc and that was missing. The only thing provided in the bathroom was hand soap. Those little touches didn't take away from the fact it was a five star stay.
