Teal Cottage

A great property, lovely internal decor and furnishings, with only a small outside area. A very well stocked kitchen with all the essentials for home cooking if required. Car parking on site, tight but adequate .Sadly we were unable to access Wi-Fi . Only a short walk to the large sandy beach, perfect for families and dog walkers. Hope to revisit this property.

We had a very good week at Teal Cottage.

We had a very good week at Teal Cottage. It is very attractive, clean and well equipped. The beach and the Tarka trail are just a few minutes away and there are several good eating places nearby. There is also an excellent delicatessen and cafe just round the corner. Instow itself is conveniently located for visiting many lovely places. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely cosy cottage for two people.

Lovely cosy cottage for two people. The bathroom was very small and the wash basin low. Would be a bit of a squash for a family. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Great little spot from which to enjoy exploring the local area on foot or in the car.

Great little spot from which to enjoy exploring the local area on foot or in the car. Smart, cosy and well equipped cottage. Sun on the terrace over lunchtime makes it a nice spot to return to from the deli! Effort had been made to put additional cleaning in place this summer, although the PVC covered cushions were rather unappealing! Would have preferred the stair gates had been removed as we didn't need them, and made the stairs feel a little awkward. Otherwise everything was great.
