During the Covid pandemic cleanliness is a worry for everyone but anyone renting Kingsley Cottage should have no concerns.

Great location. Nice view of the beach. This is a small fishermans type cottage, but is really well laid out. Bedroom's are downstairs with ensuite bathrooms. Upstairs is a well fitted kitchen and open plan sitting area (with Sky - a blessing for a rainy day). Parking is tricky but it is tricky wherever you stay in Instow. You sometimes have to drive round the block but always find somewhere. Great amenities close by (Johns shop sells everything, and pub and the Boathouse opposite). 3 loo's is amazing for such a small cottage, and and a small outside space for drying things. They kindly left some wine, and crisps etc for us which was much appreciated after a long drive from London. All v clean and with everything you would need (washing machine, dryer, good wifi, etc). Would definitely recommend.

A pretty, quirky and nicely furnished cottage in a lovely location right next to a beautiful beach. It’s designed upside down so you get great views of the sunset over the water from the kitchen upstairs. Instow is a very attractive village with fabulous views across the estuary to Appledore. There are plenty of good places to eat within walking distance and a fantastic local shop. My boys loved jumping off the sand dunes and playing on the beach. The only shame is the sea here isn’t recommended for swimming. We enjoyed surfing lessons with Surfs Up at Westward Ho (they were great!), cycling the Tarka Trail and the amazing dunes and beach at Saunders Sands. Thoroughly recommend.  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo ##### C This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Mike Jun 17, 2019 #### Dog walkers paradise . Dog walkers paradise . We didn't have a dog but never the less great fun watching from the breakfast table. View right across the beach. The location makes up for all the little niggles. Don't expect 5 star luxury but enjoy clean comfortable beds and endless hot water. Oh, and a bonus for me, Sky Sports included. The Tarka trail was great, hire a bike in Barnstable which was very reasonably priced. Even had electric bikes for a few pounds more. all very flat route with no cars. We like a drink so the fact there were four great pubs that had great menus and three facing the beach. Sitting upstairs at The Boathouse enjoying a drink in the sun was so relaxing. The only shop is Johns superb supermarket with cafe. Very good quality and the Mushrooms with poached eggs and Strawberry Smoothie was to die for. Parking is a real issue but we left ours in the Quey car park. £5.50 for 24hrs. Fond memories. ##### Mike This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Kay Apr 14, 2019 #### Lovely cottage, views over Instow beach and sunsets are well worth it. Lovely cottage, views over Instow beach and sunsets are well worth it. Place needs an uplift as is a little tired but we were comfortable and we had all we needed. Due to cottage being that close to beach sand can get everywhere and if the breeze is up and windows are open it can blow into house however this can’t be helped that close to beach. On the whole we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. ##### Kay This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Heather Feb 22, 2019 #### The cottage is ideally placed and we enjoyed our holiday. The cottage is ideally placed and we enjoyed our holiday. However it is in need of much improvement. The interior is furnished inexpensively. The cutlery was cheap and breaking. The sofa was old and sagging. The mugs needed to go through a dishwasher to remove the interior staining. We couldn’t get the oven to work for us. Curtains were drooping from their runners. Two lamps did not have working bulbs and a full length mirror would be useful. The plumbing is efficient but very noisy. On the positive side, they left for us a vase of fresh flowers, a few provisions, a bottle of Prosecco, a newspaper and magazine. All of which we very much appreciated. The reason for saying we wouldn’t recommend it is that some people may be quite happy with it as it is, but others would expect it to be much smarter inside. ##### Heather This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Feb 22, 2019 #### Stayed in Instow many times this is a great cottage , great location - owner genuinely cares for you Stayed in Instow many times this is a great cottage , great location - owner genuinely cares for you having a great experience.
