Overview
Property code: OC-SPINNA

Located in an enviable position in the charming village of Instow, a haven for beachgoers and dog walkers with a scenic coastline and a vast choice of delicious eateries. The waterfront features spectacular views over the estuary to the equally scenic village of Appledore, and the postcard-worthy views are completed by the pretty boats dotted around the water.

Along with the stunning scenery at Instow, there are a number of alternative beaches nearby, such as Westward Ho! and Saunton Sands. These beaches are among the most popular surf and swim spots in North Devon, and are perfect for families, sunbathers and water sports enthusiasts alike with a vast array of activities to choose between. In the summer months, take the ferry service from Instow to Appledore to enjoy a Hockings ice cream and perhaps take part in a sailing lesson. Walkers, cyclists and runners can enjoy a variety of paths nearby, including the North Devon Tarka Trail, above which sits this comfortable, pleasant property.

Spinnaker is a first floor apartment situated in the heart of the village, in a popular development with a well-kept communal area and private parking. Furnished in a relaxed and modern style, this apartment is the perfect space to relax after a long day exploring the local area. Sit out on the balcony and watch the boats bobbing in the glistening water or the sun slip past the horizon with a glass of wine or cup of tea and enjoy the charm and peace of Instow.

The Spinnaker is ideally located at the southern end of Instow next to the Yacht Club. It is the perfect size for a small family. The kitchen and lounge are well equipped. For walkers and cyclists the proximity of the Tarka Trail and South West Coast Path is a plus. It runs directly outside and below the south west facing balcony. The lively pubs aRead morere just a short walk, but are far enough away to give you peace and quiet when you return to the apartment. The Appledore ferry is literally round the corner. It was the perfect location for us. Hide

We were truly delighted with Spinnaker. As soon as we entered we noticed how spotlessly clean it was. Spinnaker is superbly furnished and equipped. The location is ideal for walking into Instow, for the Tarka Trail and for trips round the area by car. (Having a car park is great for packing and unpacking too). The views from the living room and kitRead morechen area are wonderful and it's super to have a balcony!. The visitors handbook is useful and comprehensive and there are handy maps and walk books. We hade a lovely week there thank you very much. Hide

We've stayed in a number of properties in Chandlers Court. They all tick the boxes for balcony, car parking, pub, deli, walks, cycling and beach, and most have a great view. On top of that, Spinnaker is very well finished in terms of comfort, taste, and equipment.
