House in North Devon District
Reasons to book
About this house rental
Five bedrooms. Three bathrooms. Sleeps ten. A log burner for the evenings, Instow beach five minutes on foot, and one of North Devon's best seafood restaurants almost on the doorstep.
From the lane it looks like a bungalow. Step inside and you'll understand.
The space
The heart of the house is open-plan: a kitchen built around a central island, flowing into living space, with the deck and estuary beyond. The triple-aspect sitting room has French doors to the terrace and a log burner for cooler evenings. Light moves through this house all day.
Five bedrooms, four with estuary views. Two have their own private balconies and ensuites — wake up to the water and step straight out to it. The family bathroom has a freestanding bath and a drench shower, with views over the estuary as you soak.
Below the deck, a mature, secluded garden. A private drive takes up to five cars. The whole house is exclusively yours.

The location
Instow is the kind of place people find once and return to every year. A sandy beach, a yacht club, a cricket ground on the seafront, and the Tarka Trail — 30 miles of traffic-free cycling through some of North Devon's finest scenery.
Five minutes on foot: the beach, The Boat House seafood restaurant, The Instow Arms, and John's — deli, café and Post Office in one.
Bideford 3.5 miles. Barnstaple 6.5. Croyde and Exmoor both under 40 minutes.
