Perfect. Everything is spot on. The communication was very clear and prompt, the property was very clean and equipped to a high standard. An excellent location with superb views from the apartment and just a short walk through their garden to the Quay and then to the sandy beach. Instow has a lovely deli, pubs and restaurants. It is a good location to explore Devon. The hosts are lovely, friendly and non-intrusive and happy to help. An absolute gem.

A fabulous week

We had such a lovely time, and simply love this part of the world. Our hosts were very helpful throughout. The location is perfect, with a lovely walk down to the main instow road with plenty of pubs and places to eat. The morning and evening views are simply stunning. Highly recommend.

Lovely Apartment

Moorings View exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, exceptionally well equipped and with fantastic views from all rooms. It was ideally situated in Instow which itself is perfectly situated to explore this part of Devon. Liam and Jane were friendly and helpful. A great stay and we would love to return.

Excellent apartment with stunning views

This is the best equipped accommodation we’ve stayed in. All the rooms are beautifully furnished and there are lots of little luxuries provided, which we really appreciated. It is also perfectly located overlooking the estuary and on the Tarka Trail- the views are stunning. Thanks very much to the owners, Liam and Jane, for making us so welcome, as well as their lovely dogs. Thank you.

Cosy apartment with amazing views

We had a lovely 4 night stay at the apartment (2 adults, 2 children). Apartment was lovely and cosy, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Instow is a lovely place to visit and the views from the apartment are stunning. Would definitely recommend going to The Boathouse for a meal. There are two sets of stairs up to the apartment, which is part of the owners property (but don't worry you wouldn't know they were there, the apartment is very private) so not for those with mobility issues but fine for us. Our second visit to Instow and we will definitely return to the area and to this lovely apartment :)

Perfect to unwind

The perfect spot to relax and unwind. Stunning views of the estuary, and the most beautiful sunsets. The apartment is immaculate, very well equipped, and comfortable. We walked along the Tarka Trail and round to Appledore via Bideford then took the ferry back to Instow. Ate at a Thai restaurant in Westward Ho, Moran’s, which had a separate vegan menu. Johns of Instow is well stocked for basics and treats. Instow pub was, for us, too frantic and our food was poor. Loved it, we’ll definitely return.

Stunning views!

A wonderful fews had by our family of 4. (Including 2 teenage girls). Spotless apartment, well equipped, very comfy beds with absolutely beautiful views from both bedrooms and large, cosy living/dining room. Sunsets over Appledore are particularly impressive. Jane and Liam really attentive and kindly let us store our bikes so we could explore the Tarka Trail. Cycled to Torrington and back and enjoyed refreshments in Puffing Billy. Short walk from apartment to local pubs serving good local food and drinks along the beach front in Instow. Would highly recommend Moorings View apartment and hope to return one day.

What a view.

The property was spotless and fresh and a wonderful place to relax and come home to. Sunrise and sun set over the Estuary is absolutely beautiful. The owners were really lovely and helpful. Little touches that were left for us was binoculars to watch the yaught club school and other boats on the water, and Westward Ho! opposite. The book shelf was full of a variety of fiction/non fiction, puzzles,games, books and maps about the area. Even a bottle of wine and biscuits. Thank you We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend without question. There is no access for disabled as there are stairs up to the apartment.
