Cottage vacation 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 :-)

The surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

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

Wow! What an incredible 6 days we had staying at Nicola’s place. It was for my partners 21st birthday and Nicola put up banners and balloons which was lovely of her. We both had the best time, it was both of our first time in Cornwall and we explored so much in the time we was there. Boscastle is an amazing place to stay as St Ives was just over an hour away, Marazion was an hour away, Newquay just under an hour. Even the local beaches and exploring Boscastle was so much fun. It really was a great location, the views, the sunsets/ sunrises everything truly was amazing and we will 100% be back in the future. Thank you so much for having us and as I say we thoroughly enjoyed our first time in Cornwall.

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!!

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.

it's our second stay at Fish Cottage, the kids love it, we love it. As we are originally from devon we can access all our favourite places on day trips due to the location so really works for us Cottage is spacious, interesting and really well equipped and comfortable for our family. will continue each year if we can !! thankyou

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.

Perfect for my friend and i very comfortable & peaceful. We picked it for our short break because it was near to the places we wished to visit, RHS Rosemore, Instow & Appledore & the Burton Gallery at Bideford. So a very succeßful break all round. Would recomend

Fantastic cottage in super location. Brilliant hosts, very friendly and the tour of the brewery was great. The ale is excellent too! Lovely grounds for walking and the meadow was perfect for our little dog. We would love to stay again.

Lovely, cosy cottage in beautiful surroundings. Great location for access to walks on Exmoor and to get to the coast. The local village is also lovely with pubs and a shop.

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 absolutely loved our stay! The place had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Dom and Sue have clearly put a lot of thought into the details – the guidebook was incredibly informative and helpful. We especially appreciated the peaceful location, the lovely back garden, and the swing – such a relaxing spot. A special highlight was getting the chance to visit Sue’s beautiful studio and gallery at the back of the garden – truly inspiring! As a family travelling with a baby, we were grateful for the provided travel cot, sheets, and high chair, which made our stay so much easier. Highly recommend and would love to come back!

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!

We had a fantastic stay, the cottage feels really homely and is equipped with everything you need. And you can't beat the view!

Beautiful cottage, the photos do not do it justice. Plenty of space for 4 adults. Angela and Geoff were very responsive hosts and I felt very welcomed. The local pub is worth a visit, just a 5 minute walk! We would love to visit again.

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
