WALK TO - Instow, a pretty, unspoilt seaside village with large stretches of sandy beaches and dunes. Instow offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants, with a superb local village store and delicatessen. From Instow you can also visit Appledore aboard Misty Blue, the local Ferry (seasonal and subject to weather conditions).

CYCLE TO - Bideford and beyond using the Tarka Trail, the charming fishing villages of Appledore, as well as the towns of Barnstaple and Torrington. The Tarka Trail is a series of footpaths and cycle-paths around north Devon with over 30 miles of the Tarka Trail available to cyclists between Braunton and Meeth, using the old railways of North Devon. The Westleigh Inn is a traditional local pub serving delicious homemade food and local beers with ample parking, with a large child friendly garden and views over the Torridge Estuary.

DRIVE TO - The historic market town of Bideford with its open-air and pannier markets. There are plenty of pubs and a good selection of restaurants. Known for its shopping, the town holds weekly produce and craft markets, as well as a farmers market held on the Quay on alternate weeks. It also has some excellent antique shops. Known locally as drangs, the narrow backstreets and alleyways winding up from the quay and river hide no end of treasure. Take a boat trip to Lundy Island about 12 miles away in the Bristol Channel.

Within driving distance is Atlantic Village outlet shopping centre, Tapeley Park, The Big Sheep, Dartington Crystal, Clovelly, Bucks Mills, and The Milky Way Adventure Park. Just a short hop over the Torridge is the large market town of Barnstaple and the magnificent blue-flag beaches of Croyde, Woolacombe, Saunton Sands, Braunton Burrows and Putsborough all famous surf spots. The Eden Project in Cornwall can also be visited easily within a day.

PETS - North Devon features five all year round pet friendly beaches.

Karen Churchill just left a new 4-star review of www.choice-cottages.co.uk: We have just had a 4 night stay at this lovely cottage, and were blessed with beautiful weather. The cottage is in a great spot and I loved to see the sheep in the field opposite every morning 😁🐑. The owner made us feel very welcome. Comfortable beds, lovely decor, and a very homely feeling. We would definitly stay again 👍

A comfortable place in a nice location. The owners live in the other half of the property, which is separate, and were on-hand to help with any questions. Beds were comfortable and shower good . We appreciated use of the garage to store our bicycles, there are good cycling and walking routes near the property. There are plenty of family activities in the general area including some great beaches.

“Situated midway between Barnstaple and Bideford this 2 bedroom house in on the main road, allowing easy access to all the main attractions. The quiet beach at Instowe is a 20-minute walk along the Tarka Trail and is a great place to walk dogs. The owners, Jim and Joanne live at the back of the house and keep themselves to themselves, but are always available to answer questions and help if you need it. Nice place to stay and chill.”
