    A lovely 4 night stay in spacious, light rooms with excellent views of the surrounding countryside and sea. The breakfast was plentiful and exceptional with plenty of options. There was plenty of off road parking and the location made it easy to travel to everywhere we visited. The staff were friendly, welcoming, polite and always helpful. The cake left in our rooms every afternoon was a nice touch too. Highly recommended!

    Nothing. Nothing at all. It was the best stay ever.

    Idyllic location. If you are a walker on the Salt Path it is totally worth the extra stretch up the little hill. Beautiful house and surroundings but still with a sea view and lovely church (no bells!). Wake up the sounds of the countryside, fresh air and sumptuous smells of breakfast.

    The location is tranquil and within a short distance to the beach by car. The owner that I met was very friendly approachable and made us feel at home. Breakfast was amazing , we had the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. But most of all the bed was so comfortable it was like sleeping and a cloud. Will return !!!

    We had a really warm welcome & were delighted with our large and pretty room with cake & fresh milk on the hostess tray.. Our breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, yoghurt, granola & fruit juice waiting on our table. Our bed was huge & comfortable: the room was very quiet and overlooked the Grade 1 listed church. We took our cycles with us and were able to keep them locked in a garage. All in all, a lovely property.

    10 minute walk into Instow. Easy parking. Lovely couple who own it were extremely accommodating. I’d put on our booking that I’m gluten-free. Two gluten-free brownies were put in our room. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. I’m used to having limited choice, but was told anything could be made for me. The food was abundant, fresh and delicious.

    We stayed here whilst walking a section of the South West Coast Path - and it might have been our favourite place to stay during the 5 days. The room was spacious, warm, comfortable, and with beautiful views of the church. The bath was also a dream after hiking in the November weather! Caroline the owner was so lovely to chat to and made us feel so welcome (especially with cake and fresh milk for teas!) The breakfast was also AMAZING! Would highly recommend this place!
