Hidden Gem near Instow

Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super friendly and welcoming host, a comfortable and attractive room, home-made cake every afternoon and wonderful breakfasts. The B&B is an easy walk to a stunning beach and various restaurants. We ate out at The Glorious Oyster and The Boat House - both recommended but we preferred the former for its relaxed, beachy vibe and quality of the dishes.

Lovely peaceful stay

Spent 2 lovely nights at Instow Barton in August. Stayed in bedroom 3 which was lovely size. Very comfortable bed and amazing selection for breakfast. Will certainly stay again if down that way. Caroline was very helpful and welcoming.

A wonderful place to stay

Lovely room overlooking the garden and countryside and sea with a very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast with homemade goodies, could not have been better. We certainly would not hesitate to book again. Thank you, Caroline and Colin, for looking after us so well and for all your very funny stories about your horses, dogs and cat 😄

Stunning and tasteful accommodation in a beautiful, peaceful location. Delicious breakfasts and outstanding cake and pastries prepared on the premises by welcoming hosts. Fabulous in all respects.

Fabulous

Caroline and Colin were very friendly and welcoming hosts. They are passionate about the B&B and nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money as well. Super clean room and public areas. Breakfast was superb. Our table was loaded with juices, home made granola, fresh fruit, yoghurt, freshly baked pastries in addition to the personalised choice of hot dishes. This hearty breakfast would leave no-one hungry. The room was spotless with luxury bed and bedding. Tea, coffee and plenty of fresh milk were available in the room. Decaf and a choice of non-dairy milk was readily provided on request. In addition, fresh home made cake appeared every afternoon in the room. We also made use of their packed lunch offer (Extra cost) and this was perfect for a long day out and about. I highly recommend Instow Barton and will be returning as soon as I can.

This was by far the best stay during our 7 day hike along the south west coast path from Minehead to Westward Ho!. I would give it a 5.5 out of 5, if I only could. Caroline was a wonderful host. Everything was well thought through and we felt very welcome.

The picture looks like a cottage, it is in fact a farm house. Large, well appointed bedrooms, big comfortable bed, tea/coffee facilities with a flask of fresh milk and home made cake. Charming hosts. Fantastic breakfast. Perfect.

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous hosts, couldn't do enough for us and our family of little dogs, very welcoming and homely. Excellent breakfast and great value for money. Breakfast room is delightful, along with the choice of food. Clean and tidy rooms, very spacious and comfortable 'huge' beds and fluffy warm duvets. The walled terrace area is excellent for outside dog security with lovely views and peaceful surroundings. Packed lunches were made available for us at short notice and were excellent value for money and totally delicious. The home made cakes and fresh cut fruit were an additional delight. This is a hidden gem and well worth a visit for a peaceful stay in a beautiful part of Devon. All the personal touches make you feel valued and special as a guest, Just perfect.
