Looking out over the River Torridge this spacious, light-filled villa is a fabulous holiday home for larger families and groups of friends seeking a relaxing waterfront getaway in an idyllic part of North Devon. Just a few metres from Instow Beach, the property offers bright and airy accommodation for up to nine guests enjoying a long-awaited reunion or family celebration. With views out towards the estuary, this imaginatively updated retreat has been elegantly furnished and beautifully decorated, making a wonderfully relaxing hideaway for walkers, beach fans and nature lovers discovering the area’s glorious coastline.
Entering the villa, the lounge has a Smart TV, plenty of seating. French doors to the patio, making a sweet, relaxing space for everyone to get together and chat about the day. The stylishly designed kitchen/diner provides a great spot for preparing and sharing family feasts and celebratory meals. Upstairs, the first floor features a refreshing bathroom and four light, spacious and cheerful bedrooms: three delightful king-size rooms (one with an en-suite shower room), and a pretty triple with bunk beds and single bed. Stepping outside, a large patio runs along the length of the villa, with shallow steps leading up through terraced borders to a raised patio with garden furniture, providing a charming spot for sitting back and watching sunsets over the sea.
Close to the meeting point of the Rivers Taw and Torridge, the villa is a great base for exploring Instow, Appledore, Bideford and Westward Ho! (all within 5 miles). Instow is known for its lovely sandy beach, and lies at the end of the popular Tarka Trail.
