This appealing timber chalet in the pretty waterside village of Instow is perfect for a couple, with sea and sand on the doorstep, wonderful views and a host of attractions in beautiful North Devon to explore. The village is by an estuary and the sheltered waters are ideal for watersports such as canoeing, kayaking and kite surfing. You’ll find cafes and traditional pubs, while a walk-on ferry in the summer months will take you across the estuary in just 10 minutes to Appledore. This picturesque fishing village is home to the North Devon Maritime Museum and has a good range of eateries with fresh-caught seafood on the menu. You can also book boat trips, including a peaceful cruise along the River Torridge. The scenic, long-distance Tarka Trail for walkers and cyclists runs through Instow, with wonderful views along the way, while the glorious beach at Westward Ho! is within 5 miles.

Step inside your holiday hideaway to find a light and airy open-plan living space below a vaulted ceiling, with beach and countryside views. The spacious chalet is thoughtfully furnished, with a welcoming home-from-home ambience and underfloor heating adding a cosy touch. A sofa and two inviting armchairs provide comfortable seating in front of the Smart TV and a wood burner in the lounge area, with a colourful rug on the wooden floor. A dining table slots neatly into the all-white kitchen. Books, ceramics and a splendid clock add an artistic note to the charming decor. Off the hallway is an inviting double bedroom, with lots of storage space and an en-suite shower room, while a separate bathroom has a bath and WC.

Outside, discover a table and chairs for drinks and al fresco dining, or opt for picnic meals on the beach as you watch the water traffic travel up and down the estuary.
