Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Instow
Where the two North Devon rivers, the River Torridge and River Taw, combine to flow into the Atlantic together, stands Instow across the water from the picturesque fishing village of Appledore. Instow has a dog-friendly beach and is well-endowed with dunes at one end, making it an ideal holiday place to explore fully with the kids – and look out for rare species of orchids! Book an Instow holiday cottage with a sea view, and you can happily spend your days just watching beach and boat life from your garden or balcony.
Passing through Instow is the Tarka Trail, which has a dual role as a cycle and the South West Coast Path. Walk or hire a bike locally and ride towards Barnstaple or Bideford and beyond, perhaps with a picnic packed from the comfort of your rented holiday cottage. Since the water at Instow is so serene, many wind and kite surfers come to do sport here. Also, keep an eye open for gig boats racing up the estuary. Take a pick from cosy pubs such as the Instow Arms during the evening, or treat your loved one with a classy night of exquisite cuisine, outstanding wine and fine service at The Commodore Hotel or something a little more contemporary at The Boathouse.
