Sea Cottage is in a fantastic location - no more than a ten minute walk from the huge beach at Instow, looking out over to Appledore. On the other side is the Tarka Trail - literally right outside your window. This is fabulous for walkers, cyclists and dogs. You are within 30 minutes or so of all of North Devon's favourite places - please make sure you visit Clovelly and Lynmouth (particularly). Two really stunning places and they fall within that 30 minute criteria. Sea Cotage itself is a beautifully maintained and furnished property - the decor is very nautical and in keeping with the location. I must say, the equipment and 'white goods' in the kitchen are absolutely top notch - cannot be faulted. The double bed and two single beds are excellent, it's lovely to have the two separate bedrooms (and bathrooms) too. All in all, I'd say you really should try Sea Cottage if you want to visit North Devon - Instow is in the perfect location to explore the area (Exmoor is within 30-40 minutes too), the huge beach is rarely busy (which is great for early morning/late evenings walks, with the dog if necessary) and a ten minute walk past the lovely cricket ground, and I cannot stress enough how happy we were with the cottage itself. A beautiful chalet style cottage and fabulous value-for-money, you'll not be found wanting for anything here! Lovely communications from the owners too, I might add. ...
