Great litlle B&B really friendly and just a nice short walking distance from Instow beach. Breakfast was great and little touches like afternoon cakes just added to the experience.

Checked okay parking was close, the lift was out of order so walked to room not really a problem, but staff member sent me me on a 10min walk around the hotel with their instructions on how to get to the room, I later discovered a much quicker way using an alternative staircase, room was clean and well maintained. WiFi not the best but definitely useable. I cannot comment on food as I didn't eat in the hotel but there are some nice restaurants nearby.

This is real gem, hidden away in the Devon countryside, at the end of long private driveway - with rather too many deep potholes, a danger to your car's tyres and suspension.
Once you're there you get get a warm welcome - all of the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The rooms are quite spacious. and the beds are very comfortable.
Dining is a speciality, and though the portions may seem small to some, they are beautifully prepared and presented, preceded by tempting amuse-bouches served...

Sam and Annie are delightful hosts. The views are stunning, breakfast is top notch and the property is well located for the Tarka Trail and the restaurants in town

The Inn was clean and tidy, room was nice and the dogs had a welcome pack. Staff friendly, food was lovely and catered for gluten and dairy free. I took my own lactose free milk. Breakfast wide choice.
The only thing which would have been an added bonus was to have some grass or astro turf for the dogs to use. There was no grassed area in easy walking distance that we found.

From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, we had nothing but friendly attentive service from the staff at the pub.
We were fortunate to be upgraded from a room in the pub to one of the relatively new lodges. The lodge was immaculate on arrival and very comfortable and well equipped.
We had breakfast included and this was first class with locally sourced food included.
We had two evening dinners at the pub and both were excellent from the very varied menu on offer.

We stayed at the Hotel for four nights bed and breakfast. The room was spotless and top notch. Bathroom was very clean and high quality. We had dinner on our last night, using our ten percentage voucher. The standard of food and service was first class and made for an enjoyable conclusion to our stay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which area of Tawstock is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Tawstock for pet-friendly hotels is generally in the rural outskirts surrounding the main village, particularly towards the Taw Valley.
This area is characterised by its countryside setting, offering open spaces and quiet lanes ideal for dog walking. You'll find a mix of independent hotels and guesthouses here, often converted from older country homes or farm buildings, which tend to be more accommodating to pets due to their larger grounds and less dense population. These properties are typically accessed via smaller country roads leading off the B3232, providing a peaceful escape from any main thoroughfare.
Couples travelling with pets will find this area particularly appealing. Many establishments offer amenities like dedicated dog-walking routes directly from the property or enclosed gardens where pets can roam freely. The natural surroundings lend themselves well to leisurely strolls with your canine companion, and you'll often find country pubs nearby that welcome well-behaved dogs.
For families with pets, staying in the Taw Valley area provides a good base for exploring the wider North Devon region. Many pet-friendly hotels in this area offer family rooms or self-catering options, giving you the flexibility needed when travelling with both children and animals.
Can I cancel my pet-friendly hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.

For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right pet-friendly hotel in Tawstock for you.

When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that it's pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets.
