INSTOW SANDHILLS
Charming chalet by the sea – a romantic retreat or family escape in the heart of Instow, North Devon
A charming romantic retreat for four, or a cosy family escape—4 The Sandhills is a beautifully presented timber chalet just moments from the sandy beach and the scenic traffic-free Tarka Trail cycle path. Nestled in the peaceful coastal village of Instow, this delightful property offers a blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience, with local pubs, cafés, and estuary views all on your doorstep.
