Cottage in North Devon

Holiday Rental Description

This property is situated at the heart of the attractive village of Instow, which is found on the estuary of the rivers Torridge and Taw. The estuary beach is a family friendly stretch of sand, backed by sand dunes which make a lovely place for an afternoon walk. In summer, a ferry runs across the estuary to the pretty fishing village of Appledore, where numerous pleasure craft offer scenic boat trips. The town of Bideford is just four miles down river from Instow, offering a range of shops and eateries, and for those who are feeling energetic, it is possible to enjoy a riverside walk to Bideford directly from the property. Entering directly into the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the ground floor of the property, guests will immediately get a sense of the owner s sense of style, which has created a calming and restful atmosphere throughout the cottage. The lounge/diner to the front of this space offers two comfortable sofas, and an extendable dining table, as well as feature fireplace with wood burner effect electric fire, and TV/DVD. Beyond the lounge/diner, the kitchen has an oven, hob, microwave, and fridge with ice compartment, beyond which a utility room houses the washer/dryer and leads out to the courtyard garden. Open tread, steep, wooden stairs lead to the first floor accommodation, where there are two bedrooms: a spacious double room with a pretty feature fireplace, and an attractive single room. The bathroom has a smaller sized shower over bath, whilst there is a separate WC on the ground floor. Outside, there is a charming narrow courtyard patio to the rear of the property, offering a sheltered place to sit with a quiet relaxing drink.
