Moorings View is a privately-accessed, luxury apartment at the top of a quirky Arts and Crafts house. It is conveniently situated in the beautiful village of Instow, which sits between the estuaries of the Rivers Taw and Torridge. As yet relatively unknown beyond North Devon, Instow is renowned for beautiful sunsets and lovely sandy beaches.
The light and airy apartment has stunning estuary views from all the main rooms. There are two bedrooms: one has a king-size bed, the other, a double bed and a day bed. We can therefore accommodate an individual, couple(s) or family/friends. There is a spacious sitting room with television and books, a neat, well-equipped kitchen, and a recently-refitted bathroom with bath and efficient shower over.
The apartment benefits from off-road parking and shared use of the main two terraces of the lovely secluded garden with various seats and views. In this garden you may come across your hosts and their two friendly spaniels.
The apartment sits atop one of the most distinctive properties in Instow, built for a retired Admiral and his wife around 1920. It is sited to take advantage of the panoramic views which stretch from Bideford up river, across the Torridge with its many moorings to Appledore, then out into the wide estuary until white horses show the rivers Torridge and Taw meeting the sea at Bideford Bar.
Guests have shared use of a heated wet room on the ground floor. This is ideal for drying wetsuits, coats, boots and walking equipment - and helps to keep the apartment carpets clean! We are also happy to store bikes in the garage for the duration of your stay - just give us notice!
Instow's waterfront is accessed from a private gate at the bottom of the garden path, as is the Tarka Trail loved by walkers and cyclists. The property is just a few minutes' walk from all this popular village's local amenities including the beach, John's award-winning delicatessen and Post Office, the pubs, bars and restaurants.
This Instow holiday apartment is perfect for those who seek a peaceful and airy hideaway, with or without friends or family.
The Owners have some Sit on top Kayaks that it may be possible, subject to some conditions, for guests to borrow to explore the Estuary.
Access: the apartment is at the top of an old property and has a number of external steps and then stairs up to the second floor. It is not suitable for those who need wheelchair access, guests with serious mobility issues, or those with young children. For this reason we request no children under 10 years old.
