Instow Barton

Caroline and Colin are the perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble and they go over and beyond making your stay happy and lovely. The bed linen is top quality and the accommodation is spotless. Very easy to communicate with. The breakfasts are amazing and their local knowledge is fabulous. We will be returning.

Excellent experience. Welcoming hosts who go out of their way to make you stay memorable. Great breakfast and tea and cake in the afternoon. About 10 mins walk to the couple of pubs in Instow where the food was very good. Ideal location for visiting Rosemore, Baggy Point, Hartland Quay etc. Would go back without hesitation.

We have just returned from an enjoyable two night stay at Instow Barton, situated in a quiet lane in Instow.The owners were friendly and welcoming, the rooms quiet and spacious, and breakfast 1st class. Plenty of car parking space. Throughly recommend.

A really exquisite B&B. We had wondered about the very specific check-in times 2-6 but when we arrived realised this was because Caroline and Colin work very hard to make their B&B a unique and very special experience. The house is a beautiful converted farmhouse within easy walking distance of the beach. We had a warm welcome from Caroline and Colin. There was homemade cake in our room and we took up the offer to have it on the lovely garden terrace overlooking beautiful countryside. In the evening we had dinner on the seafront having booked this previously. There was a fabulous view of the sea setting. It was clear a huge amount of care had gone into everything from the spotless cleanliness of our room, the beautiful soap, fabulous bed lined and gorgeous decor. Caroline and Colin are both chefs and made a superb, and very generous, breakfast which included all sorts of delights including delicious apple pastries made using apples from the orchard. Once again, it was clear that a great deal of care had gone into selecting and cooking quality ingredients. Absolutely delightful!

The historic home was so quiet and the hosts so welcoming. Caroline made sure we had everything we needed and Colin served up an excellent breakfast. I appreciated being in the country, yet only a 5 minute walk to restaurants and the beach. The parish church is next door and we enjoyed strolling through it and the cemetery. What impressed me the most was the complete attention to detail and comfort of the guests. If I didn't live an ocean away, I'd certainly go back!

We have just returned from a 2 night break. It was lovely. Caroline and Colin were very welcoming. The room was very comfortable with everything you could need. The layout felt like a little apartment. The bed was so comfortable I struggled to get up. Breakfast was delicious. Everything is home made and their chefs background shines through. The location is great. Very easy to find but feels very secluded. Within a few minutes walk of a beautiful beach and a few decent places to eat in the evenings. We tried the Boathouse and Instow Arms. Both very nice but best to book. So quiet at night. I don't sleep well normally but have returned home feeling relaxed and rested. On the list of places to come back to. Thank you Caroline and Colin.
