Instow cottage
Really liked the cottage. All clean and well presented. Very good welcome pack which we appreciated. We missed the no towels provided part, but Lucy came to the rescue. Very comfortable beds and beautiful linen, always a treat! Would suggest an update on the bathroom but the rest was as described. So close to the beach and handy for restaurants and pubs. Would definitely recommend.

Quiet getaway
Lovely quiet place to stay, just around the corner from the sandy beach. Lots of space in this beautiful light and comfy cottage. Flowers, wine and a few bits made us feel very welcome. Plenty of places to walk on the doorstep. Would definitely return.

Perfect base for exploring North Devon.
A lovely week in Midships.
Just a couple of negatives. Although property was very clean it smelled really damp and the walls in the dining area felt wet. There was no shower curtain and armchairs had seen better days. Overall a lovely location although parking very limited. The beds were very comfortable and property very spacious.
