It is conveniently situated in the beautiful village of Instow, which sits between the estuaries of the Rivers Taw and Torridge. As yet relatively unknown beyond North Devon, Instow is renowned for beautiful sunsets and lovely sandy beaches. The light and airy apartment has stunning estuary views from all the main rooms. There are two bedrooms: one has a king-size bed, the other, a double bed and a day bed. We can therefore accommodate an individual, couple(s) or family/friends. There is a spacious sitting room with television and books, a neat, well-equipped kitchen, and a recently-refitted bathroom with bath and efficient shower over. The apartment benefits from off-road parking and shared use of the main two terraces of the lovely secluded garden with various seats and views. In this garden you may come across your hosts and their two friendly spaniels. The apartment sits atop one of the most distinctive properties in Instow, built for a retired Admiral and his wife around 1920. It is sited to take advantage of the panoramic views which stretch from Bideford up river, across the Torridge with its many moorings to Appledore, then out into the wide estuary until white horses show the rivers Torridge and Taw meeting the sea at Bideford Bar. Guests have shared use of a heated wet room on the ground floor. This is ideal for drying wetsuits, coats, boots and walking equipment - and helps to keep the apartment carpets clean! We are also happy to store bikes in the garage for the duration of your stay - just give us notice! Instow's waterfront is accessed from a private gate at the bottom of the garden path, as is the Tarka Trail loved by walkers and cyclists. The property is just a few minutes' walk from all this popular village's local amenities including the beach, John's award-winning delicatessen and Post Office, the pubs, bars and restaurants. This Instow holiday apartment is perfect for those who seek a peaceful and airy hideaway, with or without friends or family. The Owners have some Sit on top Kayaks that it may be possible, subject to some conditions, for guests to borrow to explore the Estuary. Access: the apartment is at the top of an old property and has a number of external steps and then stairs up to the second floor. It is not suitable for those who need wheelchair access, guests with serious mobility issues, or those with young children. For this reason we request no children under 10 years old. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - On a river - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22660000/22659200/22659137/0ef0410d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful 3 Bedroom Cottage, Close To Waterfront In Charming Coastal Village Bideford - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=22659137&PinnedHotelID=22659137&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76810000/76805600/76805594/d45eadbb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### \* Fisherman’s Cottage \* with panoramic river views Appledore - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=76805594&PinnedHotelID=76805594&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30020000/30010900/30010850/81232fc3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Appledore - Hispaniola Stunning 2 bed 2 bath, sleeps 4(+2) and PARKING!!!

Stunning views of the estuary, and the most beautiful sunsets. The apartment is immaculate, very well equipped, and comfortable. We walked along the Tarka Trail and round to Appledore via Bideford then took the ferry back to Instow. Ate at a Thai restaurant in Westward Ho, Moran’s, which had a separate vegan menu. Johns of Instow is well stocked for basics and treats. Instow pub was, for us, too frantic and our food was poor. Loved it, we’ll definitely return. ##### Deborah B.

Jane and Liam really attentive and kindly let us store our bikes so we could explore the Tarka Trail. Cycled to Torrington and back and enjoyed refreshments in Puffing Billy. Short walk from apartment to local pubs serving good local food and drinks along the beach front in Instow. Would highly recommend Moorings View apartment and hope to return one day. ##### Cathy T.

We were late getting there, but the hosts put off plans so they could welcome us & show us around. They left a box of shortbread, bottle of wine & enough essentials to see us through the next morning of tea & coffee. Unit was sparkling clean, well presented & very "homey". Victorian architecture, but modern fits & finishes made for the perfect combination, including the world's best shower, IMHO. Beautiful views from all windows over the estuary allowed us to see the tides come & go, which was surprisingly interesting! It's only a short, 5-10 min. walk, via a private walkway through the property's garden to the waterfront. Enough dining options were there including pubs, restaurants & a terrific cafe. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our North Devon visit. ##### Kevin M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna K.

I stayed in Jane and Liam's lovely flat for near on a month; I was dealing with some pretty tough grief after losing my Mum and felt I needed a good amount of time away to process many things in a peaceful and calming environment. That's exactly what Instow and the accommodation helped me to do!. The flat was beautifully presented, in immaculate order and best of all, I could watch the serene sunsets and spectacular scenery through the lounge and bedroom windows every day/night. Never-mind that I witnessed the most amount of stunning rainbows that I've ever seen in 28 days! Nothing was too much trouble for Jane and Liam; they were so kind and caring and above all very empathetic. I wish I could have stayed another month!! Thank you both for providing me with everything I could have asked for and so much more. With love Jo xx ##### Joanna K. Stayed 28 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilary W. Aug 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely superb A very last minute opportunity to head away for a few days had me madly searching for anywhere in Devon or Cornwall. My only criteria - sea views, on-site car parking and as near to the beach as possible as I love an early morning walk. This fabulous apartment appeared on my screen and my search was over. Booked and on the road soon after. Did it match our expectations? It surpassed them by far. The location is wonderful; the views a constant amazing changing picture; the apartment just perfect - beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, very comfortable and absolutely everything provided. The owners and son were very friendly and helpful - it was a real treat to stay and we will be back!! We hadn't been to Instow before - a great discovery. We walked to Bideford along the Tarka Trail and another day even further to Appledore, timing it just right to get the little, very friendly and wonderful volunteer run ferry back. The local 'The Quay' was our favourite - great pub food and an excellent pint. The beach stretches endlessly when the tide is out - littered with many boats that bob up and down when the tide turns. Magical. But ignore all this- it's our new secret haven so I'm keeping quiet about it! ##### Hilary W. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duncan C.

Apartment was lovely and cosy, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Instow is a lovely place to visit and the views from the apartment are stunning. Would definitely recommend going to The Boathouse for a meal. There are two sets of stairs up to the apartment, which is part of the owners property (but don't worry you wouldn't know they were there, the apartment is very private) so not for those with mobility issues but fine for us.

The property was spotless and fresh and a wonderful place to relax and come home to. Sunrise and sun set over the Estuary is absolutely beautiful. The owners were really lovely and helpful. Little touches that were left for us was binoculars to watch the yaught club school and other boats on the water, and Westward Ho! opposite. The book shelf was full of a variety of fiction/non fiction, puzzles,games, books and maps about the area. Even a bottle of wine and biscuits. Thank you We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend without question. There is no access for disabled as there are stairs up to the apartment. ##### Amanda A. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy K., Ringwood, UK Nov 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful quiet property with stunning views We have just spent 4 days staying here and enjoyed every second of it. The apartment was spotless! The bed was extremely comfortable. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. The views from all the windows are beautiful and it is incredibly quiet! We left after 4 days wishing we had booked for 7 or more! but, more importantly, we left feeling refreshed and calm. Instow village itself is charming with a lovely cafe (John's) and a fabulous gastro pub (The Instow Arms). We can't wait to come back again. Thank you Liam and Jane! ##### Wendy K.
