Cottage was really nice, very homely.. Only areas for improvement, another sofa in the living room, more comfortable chairs in kitchen and courtyard could be made more inviting. Booking process and checking in and out were very easy!!

Mr Caldwell

Very good location, the house is in excellent condition (recently modernised) .... Very good location, the house is in excellent condition (recently modernised) and I would recommend this house and place to anyone looking for a quiet get away in a beautiful part of the country

Cool Stone Cottage has a beautiful home from home feel.. Lots of room for family and entertaining. Great location just 2 mins away from the quay, and 5 mins from the beach. Being in the doorstep of dog friendly beaches and pubs was also great. We will be returning! Thank you.

Dr Gibbs

Lovely house.. Very nicely presented. Clean. Some well appreciated extras - the Xmas tree and decorations, the cookies tea, coffee etc.

We found the cottage to be comfortable and really nice to come back too after a tiring day visiting Devon.. The house has been tastefully modernised without losing the character of the building, location could not be better as just a couple of minute walk to either the beach or The Tarka trail. Plenty of eating places ranging from two Inns where you get good food at reasonable prices (Wayfarer and the Quay Inn) and small cafe at Johns,also delicatessen. So overall a place to come back to time and time again. Would certainly go back.

Everything was as expected.. Parking facilities was the only letdown. For this reason only, we will not book this particular property. Cleanling materials would be useful as there was nothing to clean bathrooms with. Nobody likes leaving it for a whole week and that's not really something one would think to pack!!

Mrs Thorne

Our second visit to Cool Stone Cottage.. Would highly recommend.Good location with nearby restaurants and pubs.

The cottage was very clean and beds very comfortable with no ends which is what we look for as husband and son-in-law are tall.. Unfortunately the cleaner had not been told the trundle bed needed making up (booked for 4 adults and 2 children) but came out quickly to make up the bed on Friday evening. The only reason we will not book this place again is because of the large property next door is up for sale and it wraps round the back of the property and has 15 bedrooms, may be noisy.

Mr Knightley

Highlighting the cottage is on the main road would have been something I would have expected.. The quality of the interior was excellent.

The Cottage is well equipped and comfortable.. It's more spacious than it might appear from the photos and, with two reception rooms and a large kitchen downstairs, the four of us never felt cramped. It's tastefully decorated and we loved the light and airy kitchen. We were blessed with excellent weather (early July 2018) so took full advantage of the local beaches and walks. Instow's beach and waterfront are delightful, with views across the estuary to Appledore and a choice of good pubs. The Coastal Footpath/Tarka Trail is two minutes walk away and the regular bus service stops just outside the door: we used this a few times - although there is parking outside the Cottage it is in demand and we preferred to leave the car safely there rather than risk losing the space, only driving out if we wanted to take the body boards to beaches further away. Altogether a restful, relaxed break.

We had a wonderful holiday with our dog.. The weather was fantastic and the cottage was lovely with everything you needed going to book again for next year.

We had a lovely holiday.. The Cottage was very nice, we will certainly be coming again.

Cool Stone Cottage is excellent and we enjoyed our stay very much.. We were so impressed we have already booked another week in September!!If you have a dog Instow is the perfect destination as everywhere is dog friendly.

Very cosy cottage - has everything you might want from a stay away.. Instow is a great location any time of the year - pity about the lack of parking throughout the village
