MOORINGS VIEW APARTMENT INSTOW - Parking, Garden, Estuary Views

Moorings View in Instow is a privately accessed luxury apartment. The beautiful village of Instow is nestled by the Taw and Torridge Estuary.

The apartment is well equipped and able to be used as a one or two bedroom private apartment with one reception room, kitchen and bathroom with shower. The apartment benefits from parking and the shared use of the garden. All main rooms have great views overlooking the river moorings, the Estuary and across to Appledore, a view famed for beautiful sunsets.

The light and spacious holiday apartment is part of a large Arts and Crafts property. The property is one of the most distinctive properties in Instow and was built many years ago as a retirement home for an Admiral. The property is sited to take advantage of the lovely views across the moorings of the Torridge and Taw Estuary. The two rivers combine and meet the sea at Bideford Bar which is visible from the property along with a vast expanse of the Estuary and the River Torridge.

The property has shared use of a heated wet room for drying wetsuits, coats, boots and walking equipment, keeping the private Moorings View apartment clean.

The waterfront is accessed from the bottom of the garden and the property is walking distance from the beach and all the local amenities of this popular village including delicatessen and Post Office, Tarka Trail walking and cycle trail, pubs, bars and restaurants. A garage is available for the storage of bikes for the duration of your stay.

This Instow holiday apartment is available to rent for holidays by the week in peak season and to suit including for long weekends, mid week breaks, staycations, secret escapes and romantic getaways throughout the remainder of the year as either a one bedroom or two bedroom apartment.

The property has stunning panoramic views but is privately accessed via a staircase to the second floor of the property. Therefore the property is not suitable to be let to guests with serious mobility issues, is not wheelchair friendly or available for smaller children under 10. The garden is shared with your hosts and their two furry friendly spaniel dogs.

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.

Cosy apartment with amazing views
We had a lovely 4 night stay at the apartment (2 adults, 2 children). Apartment was lovely and cosy, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Instow is a lovely place to visit and the views from the apartment are stunning. Would definitely recommend going to The Boathouse for a meal. There are two sets of stairs up to the apartment, which is part of the owners property (but don't worry you wouldn't know they were there, the apartment is very private) so not for those with mobility issues but fine for us. Our second visit to Instow and we will definitely return to the area and to this lovely apartment :)

The Perfect Getaway & The Most Gracious Hosts.
I stayed in Jane and Liam's lovely flat for near on a month; I was dealing with some pretty tough grief after losing my Mum and felt I needed a good amount of time away to process many things in a peaceful and calming environment. That's exactly what Instow and the accommodation helped me to do!. The flat was beautifully presented, in immaculate order and best of all, I could watch the serene sunsets and spectacular scenery through the lounge and bedroom windows every day/night. Never-mind that I witnessed the most amount of stunning rainbows that I've ever seen in 28 days! Nothing was too much trouble for Jane and Liam; they were so kind and caring and above all very empathetic. I wish I could have stayed another month!! Thank you both for providing me with everything I could have asked for and so much more. With love Jo xx

Jackpot!
Moorings View was just great. We were late getting there, but the hosts put off plans so they could welcome us & show us around. They left a box of shortbread, bottle of wine & enough essentials to see us through the next morning of tea & coffee. Unit was sparkling clean, well presented & very "homey". Victorian architecture, but modern fits & finishes made for the perfect combination, including the world's best shower, IMHO. Beautiful views from all windows over the estuary allowed us to see the tides come & go, which was surprisingly interesting! It's only a short, 5-10 min. walk, via a private walkway through the property's garden to the waterfront. Enough dining options were there including pubs, restaurants & a terrific cafe. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our North Devon visit.

What a view.
The property was spotless and fresh and a wonderful place to relax and come home to. Sunrise and sun set over the Estuary is absolutely beautiful. The owners were really lovely and helpful. Little touches that were left for us was binoculars to watch the yaught club school and other boats on the water, and Westward Ho! opposite. The book shelf was full of a variety of fiction/non fiction, puzzles,games, books and maps about the area. Even a bottle of wine and biscuits. Thank you We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend without question. There is no access for disabled as there are stairs up to the apartment.

Stunning views!
A wonderful fews had by our family of 4. (Including 2 teenage girls). Spotless apartment, well equipped, very comfy beds with absolutely beautiful views from both bedrooms and large, cosy living/dining room. Sunsets over Appledore are particularly impressive. Jane and Liam really attentive and kindly let us store our bikes so we could explore the Tarka Trail. Cycled to Torrington and back and enjoyed refreshments in Puffing Billy. Short walk from apartment to local pubs serving good local food and drinks along the beach front in Instow. Would highly recommend Moorings View apartment and hope to return one day.

Perfect to unwind
The perfect spot to relax and unwind. Stunning views of the estuary, and the most beautiful sunsets. The apartment is immaculate, very well equipped, and comfortable. We walked along the Tarka Trail and round to Appledore via Bideford then took the ferry back to Instow. Ate at a Thai restaurant in Westward Ho, Moran’s, which had a separate vegan menu. Johns of Instow is well stocked for basics and treats. Instow pub was, for us, too frantic and our food was poor. Loved it, we’ll definitely return.

Beautiful quiet property with stunning views
We have just spent 4 days staying here and enjoyed every second of it. The apartment was spotless! The bed was extremely comfortable. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. The views from all the windows are beautiful and it is incredibly quiet! We left after 4 days wishing we had booked for 7 or more! but, more importantly, we left feeling refreshed and calm. Instow village itself is charming with a lovely cafe (John's) and a fabulous gastro pub (The Instow Arms). We can't wait to come back again. Thank you Liam and Jane!
