    An excellent cottage in a terrific setting, with easy access to a variety of good local pubs and an impressive village shop/deli. The area is ideal for walkers. Instow is a calm and relaxing place, just a ferry ride from Appledore, and with things to see and do in every direction.

    Property, facilities and hosts Edward and Lucinda were only overshadowed by the superb location overlooking the river Torridge. The Old School Room is rated top of the class in our opinion.

    We had a fantastic stay here in October half term. The cottage was spotless with some nice touches to kick off the stay. The kitchen is compact but had all the appliances required. The bedroom is on the mezzanine floor with no walls to separate from living area which was only an issue for us as our dog was a little restless. Would definitely book again
