The Schoolhouse at Instow

The Schoolhouse at Instow opens into a main living area built for groups to gather. A wood burner, comfortable seating, Smart TV and pool table occupy the ground floor, where period features catch the eye and a shower room sits conveniently nearby. The kitchen handles self-catering straightforwardly. Upstairs, a spiral staircase leads to four bedrooms—two with king-size beds and two with twins—served by a family bathroom. Outside, a sunny decked garden to the rear offers a private spot to sit with a view towards the estuary.

Positioned above Instow village, the cottage overlooks countryside sloping down to the water. The North Devon coast lies within reach for beach visits, harbour exploration and coastal walks. Bideford, Barnstaple and Westward Ho! are all nearby, as is Clovelly. The property has parking on site and welcomes one well-behaved dog. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. No smoking inside.
