Nestled in the heart of Instow, one of North Devon’s most charming seaside villages, this spectacular coastal retreat with a hot tub and games room is perfect for families or groups of friends keen to answer the call of the coast. Maximising far-reaching views across the local coastline, the reverse-level layout of this home-from-home features four bedrooms on the ground floor, two en-suite super-king-sizes, one super-king-size zip-and-link (can be made up as a twin) and one super-king-size zip-and-link (can be made up as a twin) with access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom; crisp, white linens ensure a dreamy slumber.

Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner combines stylish design with extra special homely touches; warm chilly toes beside the flame effect log fire or throw open the large picture window to the glass Juliette balcony to enjoy breathtaking views as you unwind. The enclosed garden is a haven of tranquillity; dine alfresco on the raised deck, wash sandy toes in the hot outdoor shower on the lower patio, play garden games on the lawn, relax in the hot tub or let off some steam in the games room.

Outside, you’ll also find private parking for four cars. The postcard-perfect village of Instow boasts a sandy beach with towering dunes and some wonderful independent pubs and delis showcasing seasonal local produce.

Keen outdoor explorers can join the Tarka Trail (less than 0.5 miles), a traffic-free walking and cycle path occupying a disused railway line; follow the estuary along the trail to reach the market town of Bideford (4 miles) to the stroll along its stunning quayside. Jump aboard the seasonal passenger ferry from Instow to the fishing village of Appledore (5.5 miles) to discover its quaint narrow streets or enjoy a traditional bucket and spade day at the seaside at Westward Ho!
