Instow Barton

Lovely hosts, beautiful location

Very friendly welcome and lovely spacious room. A thermos of fresh milk was ready for us every evening on the reception counter for tea/ coffee in our room the next morning. Breakfast was delicious with excellent selection of fruit, yoghurt, granola and choice of cooked breakfast. The location is excellent too. A short 10 minute walk and you're on the beach at Instow. Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

A very warm welcome from Caroline to a beautiful house overlooking the surrounding countryside and near the church. Clean and comfortable with tea and coffee facilities in the room (plus bonus cake - always welcome!) and a great breakfast selection. It was particularly nice to have the option of pancakes in addition to the usual full English or cereals, pastry and yoghurt. Walking distance to Innstow restaurants.

Such a lovely place! The bedroom was spacious with a wonderfully comfy bed, and in room coffee bags, fresh milk and cake on arrival. Felt very spoilt! And to cap it all, breakfast was absolutely excellent.

Wonderful and imaginative breakfast menu with many options. Lovely setting on a hillside overlooking the valley and just a few minutes from the sand dunes and beaches of the estuary. Very warm welcome from our hosts and can thoroughly recommend to others.

Barton Instow Guest house is a jewel in the crown. A lovely old converted farmhouse nestled in the Instow countryside but only a short walk to the beautiful beach front. The bed was clean and comfortable, towels dressing gowns and toiletries are also provided. Cold milk was available each evening for a morning cuppa in your room before an amazing breakfast choice of delicious food. Packed lunches are available at an additional small cost if you are walking or going to the beach. Caroline and Colin are a lovely couple who run their guest house with pride.

Just had 3 nights at Instow Barton. If I could given them 11 I would. Great brekkies catering for all inc my veggie husband who loved home made granola, cakes, pastries plus full breakfast. Good clean spacious rooms. -Well placed for quick 10 min walk to Instow where we had fresh fish/ mussels on 2 nights. Honestly a generous couple who cater for absolutely everything. Good nights sleep as quiet with scenic views. best cup of tea I’ve ever had - I think it’s the Devon water can’t believe it makes such a difference. Was allowed to bring our dog who is pretty well behaved. Lovely rest, sunbathing at Saunton and revisiting old haunts. Thankyou both, a great stay.

Caroline war die perfekte Gastgeberin: sehr freundlich, gerne behilflich, aber nicht aufdringlich. Himmlisches Frühstück, das 5 Sterne verdienen würde. Nettea Cottage, sensationell.

Really beautiful guest house set in the Devonshire countryside and amazing hosts . Made to feel very welcome . Room was lovely , clean and the bed was so comfy !!! The homemade cake was a nice added touch . Delicious home cooked breakfast and beautiful fresh fruit and delicious granola !!! We will be back for another stay at some point

Beautiful spot, great hosts

A utterly wonderful and charming place to stay. Caroline and her husband are the most warm and welcoming hosts. Beautiful rooms, all individually decorated, a marvelous breakfast, beautiful and warm atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant. Gorgeous rooms, terrific breakfast and the hosts were charming.

Caroline and Colin were very friendly and welcoming hosts. They are passionate about the B&B and nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money as well. Super clean room and public areas. Breakfast was superb. Our table was loaded with juices, home made granola, fresh fruit, yoghurt, freshly baked pastries in addition to the personalised choice of hot dishes. This hearty breakfast would leave no-one hungry. The room was spotless with luxury bed and bedding. Tea, coffee and plenty of fresh milk were available in the room. Decaf and a choice of non-dairy milk was readily provided on request. In addition, fresh home made cake appeared every afternoon in the room. We also made use of their packed lunch offer (Extra cost) and this was perfect for a long day out and about. I highly recommend Instow Barton and will be returning as soon as I can.

The hosts and the reviews lived up to our expectations. Great Location, the local pubs were very welcoming and the food in the instow Arms was very nice.

Everything was fantastic about our stay. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and the property is very nice. A great location for exploring the area.

Great hosts and a lovely clean room. Incredible breakfast and an all round pleasurable experience. We will be back.

Lovely room overlooking the garden and countryside and sea with a very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast with homemade goodies, could not have been better. We certainly would not hesitate to book again. Thank you, Caroline and Colin, for looking after us so well and for all your very funny stories about your horses, dogs and cat 😄

We have been to this property twice already and now this is the 3rd time and still brilliant as the 1st time

Wonderful hosts.

Spent 2 lovely nights at Instow Barton in August. Stayed in bedroom 3 which was lovely size. Very comfortable bed and amazing selection for breakfast. Will certainly stay again if down that way. Caroline was very helpful and welcoming.
