The property
Beach Retreat is the Gold winner of Best Cottage in South West England in Sykes Gems 2023 and it is located just a stone's throw away from the beautiful, dog-friendly sandy beach at Instow, with access to the colourful village of Appledore and cobbled streets of Clovelly. Furnished to a wonderful standard of quality throughout, bursting with character, this semi-detached holiday let is perfect for that much needed break away-from-it-all. There is a warm feel within the living room, elevated by the woodburning stove and beamed ceiling. Relax and unwind in the plush armchairs after a day out exploring the famous Tarka Trail. This room also plays host to a bright and sunny dining area, at which to enjoy your meals in the company of your loved ones. The kitchen is well-appointed, with sleek wooden units and quality fittings getting you through your stay. A spiral staircase leads you up to a double bedroom and a twin, both enjoying a crisp finish with tasteful colour schemes. An all-white shower room serves the two. Instow has a variety of award-winning shops and restaurants nearby, where you can taste the local seafood. The area has a wide range of water sports, fishing and sailing, ideal for those seeking a more energetic holiday. Walking and cycling can also be enjoyed, as well as horse riding, golf and cricket, available locally. The Cottage is also within reach of a wide selection of family attractions, including Exmoor, the North Cornwall/Devon coastline and beautiful Lynton and Lynmouth with their breathtaking scenery. Enjoy cosy fireside pubs, taste local food and explore a wealth of rare wildlife. Exmoor National Park is home to some of the darkest skies, perfect for gazing up at the stars and rediscovering your sense of wonder. The Cottage will have you coming back time and time again!
