Instow is a great location with a lovely beach and view of the estuary. We took our bikes and spent most of the week cycling on the amazing Tarka Trail. The house is very unfussy and great for dogs. My mum has mobility problems and found the stairs a bit tricky getting to the bathroom, but it was okay. We loved the house and it was perfect for us with two tweens. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Oct 14, 2020 #### F Fantastic location, overlooking the bay, a stones throw from the beach! The house is nice, especially the balcony, but could do with a second bathroom/ensuite, the floorboards and stairs creak and a late night dash to the loo wakes everyone!

We love Waters Edge and have visited on several occasions. Just the right level of comfort where you can relax and not worry about a bit of sand entering the premises. Our dog loves the balcony too, he's able to watch the world pass by and say hello! We look forward to our next visit.

It was not a deep clean. Perhaps an additional toilet could be added at some stage, feel 1 toilet would be inadequate if full occupancy was met. On the plus side had a very enjoyable holiday and found the cottage to be comfortable , pleasing and ideal for our needs.

We had a lovely week at Water’s Edge despite reading very negative reviews about the cottage. If you don’t like older properties and everything that comes with them don’t book Water’s Edge.

Johns Deli/cafe is a 1min walk down road for good coffee and fresh croissants for breakfast. House has parking space round back which is good size, but a bit tricky to reverse into from the narrow lane. ##### Donna This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Aug 9, 2019 #### This is our second stay here. This is our second stay here. There's plenty of room for our family and having the beach over the road is brilliant. There are lots of extras that we appreciated and a few goodies that were enjoyed. Bed are really comfortable which makes a lovely change. Please be aware if you have small children there is no stair gate at the top of the stairs but the door to the living room can be closed. We would happily stay again in the future. ##### Julie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Penny May 27, 2019 #### Grr, I don't want everyone to know how wonderful this house is.
