Guest Reviews

• Nathalie (7/5): -
• Stijn (8/5): Goed verzorgd, gezellig café, fijn bed. - Zeer vriendelijk personeel, heel goede keuken. Heb er een heerlijke seafoodrisotto op. Met een lichte als erbij. Locatie uitstekend centraal. Geen klachten.
• Chris (9/5): Very good. This is the 6th time we have stayed. - Staff were superb.- Polite.Efficient.Friendly. The parking close to the wayfairers is very limited but that is not the pubs fault.
• 99markus (8/5): -
• Christopher (9/5): -
• Jörg (8/5): - Klassisches britisches Landgasthaus mit toller Mischung aus chic und angestaubt. Dabei aber nicht unmodern. Das Pie of the day im angegliederten Wirtshaus war Weltklasse!
• Pamela (8/5): - Breakfast was great and evening meals great valve for money, staff accommodating and friendly Bed was a bit un-comfy
• Aura (9/5): - Great breakfast!
• Ralf (10/5): -
• Kirsty (10/5): - Gorgeous place. The room was amazing. Tried to book an extra night, but unfortunately it was already booked out.. I'll definitely be back 😁 Breakfast was delicious also. Not being able to book an extra night 😆
• Sue (9/5): All in all a good value for money place to stay. - Staff were lovely very friendly & welcoming. Breakfast was great & plentiful, we also ate there on first day which was also great. Great location Instow is a hidden gem of a place, managed to park ok. We were in The Lundy room which is on the top floor, stairs can be a bit precarious if you’re not careful, but has good sea views. The beds & pillows were a bit soft & bouncy for us but that’s just our personal preference. It’s a fair size room, with plenty of storage space. The bathroom was a bit disappointing & could do with a refurb, damp patches on ceiling & black mould in shower which is a real ikk for me & didn’t feel particularly clean.
• Clare (8/5): - The room was very spacious and comfortable, and had everything I needed. It was quiet overnight and the breakfast choices were good. Great tea and coffee facilities in the room too. Would be helpful to have breakfast times and local info in the rooms. I thought breakfast was 8-9 and that I would miss it but when I left at 7.15 breakfast was being served. Unfortunately I didn't have time to have any.
• Joshua (9/5): The prefect pub BnB. - Great breakfast, lovely room and nice sea view.
• Alex (9/5): - Great host. Very friendly and helpful staff
• Doris (9/5): -
• Lena (8/5): - Der Meerblick vom Zimmer aus ist fantastisch. Das Zimmer ist groß und geräumig und sehr schön eingerichtet. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und es gibt auch eine vegane Option. Das Bett ist eins mit Sprungfedern - muss man mögen. Leider ist Schimmel im Bad an der Dusche. Im Winter könnte es echt kalt werden, weil die Fenster sehr alt sind und winddurchläsaig sind.

• Kirsty (8/5): -
• Ilabrio (9/5): Ottima locanda inglese con buona cucina, tranquilla anche se in zona centrale nel paesino di Instow. - il fatto che fosse una locanda tradizionale inglese con buona cucina sia per la cena che per la colazione.
• Alison (8/5): A lovely hotel on the waterfront for a short break. - The hotel was very good for a short break. The rooms are a very good size and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good too. The location was excellent, being on the waterfront and very peaceful. I was visiting a friend and due to a cat allergy, I can't stay with her, so this is a perfect place to be based. I will definitely stay here when I next come for a visit. There was nothing I didn't like.
• Michele (10/5): - La posizione vicino al mare, l'accoglienza e la gestione familiare.
• Daria (10/5): Great - 10/10 - Excellent stay! The location was perfect, the staff were great, and our family room was spacious and very well designed with plenty of drawers to keep everything organised. Breakfast was delicious. We also found nearby parking that allowed us to stay from 6pm to 10am for free, which was exactly what we needed.
• Raimonds (7/5): -
• Jakline (3/5): No, non ci siamo! - La gentilezza di Parker. Mi dispiace, ma la camera, con tutte le buone intenzioni che possono avere, non può essere affittata!!!...presentava molta muffa alle pareti, la moquette non era stata pulita, le tende sporche, e tutto molto improvvisato...anche la biancheria da letto di scarsa qualità e consunta...la colazione è stata terribile!
• Becky (10/5): -
• Stuart (8/5): -
• Caroline (7/5): Great location a few meters away from Instow Beach - Quick check in. Staff were helpful in advising where we could leave our bikes (we were a group of six doing the Devon C2C). The room was clean, bright and spacious. Breakfast in the morning was lovely. Shower room was quite small and possibly in need of a revamp but not too bad.
• Stuart (8/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): Praticamente sulla spiaggia - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Abbiamo soggiornato qui e ci siamo trovati benissimo! Il personale è stato estremamente gentile e accogliente, ci hanno fatto sentire subito a casa. La camera era esattamente come nelle foto, pulita e confortevole. L’hotel si trova sopra il pub, ma non abbiamo avuto alcun problema di rumore. Abbiamo anche cenato al pub e siamo rimasti piacevolmente colpiti: tutto davvero squisito. Ho voluto provare il risotto: se siete italiani vi sembrerà forse un po’ scotto, ma il sapore era eccezionale, ricco e molto abbondante, una porzione più che generosa, quindi tenetelo presente! Consigliatissimo sia per il soggiorno che per la cucina. 🌟

• paul (10/5): A great stay in pub/ guest house - Staff were superb. Breakfast and evening food was very good indeed
• Claire (7/5): -
• David (8/5): Staff great, location great, food good, beds aweful - Stayed there lots of times The beds were awful old worn out sprung mattresses
• Alfredo (9/5): -
• Kira (10/5): -
• Jack (10/5): Amazing - Amazing place to stay. Third time now and it’s been better everytime. Amazing staff and and breakfast Nothing. All great
• Charlie (10/5): - Location and breakfast N/A
• Willem Jan (8/5): Fijn - Dat deel van ontbijt ingepakt kon worden als lunch
• Helga (9/5): Sehr schönes, traditionelles Inn in bester Lage - Typisches, traditionelles Inn mit stimmig eingerichtetem Pub, zugewandtes und sehr nettes Personal. Das Gebäude liegt von der Hauptstraße leicht zurückversetzt und ist sehr ruhig, der Strand und die Promenade sind trotzdem in wenigen Schritten erreicht. Unser Zimmer war bequem und ausreichend möbliert, das Frühstück reichhaltig und lecker. Aufgrund der engen Gassen ist die Parkplatzsituation schwierig, da das Inn keine Parkplätze anbieten kann. Es gibt aber Parkplätze in der näheren Umgebung.
• Robert (8/5): - De gemoedelijke sfeer
• Isabelle (8/5): - Chambre propre et calme ( quand le pub a fermé). Petites attentions: Petits gâteaux, bouteilles d'eau à l'arrivée. Très bon petit déjeuner. Personnel gentil Odeur de friture venant du pub.

• TIM (9/5): Nice stay on the SW Path - Great location Breakfast was ok
• Amy (9/5): -
• Michael (8/5): Would definitely stay again as the location is perfect! - Great location lovely food, excellent Guinness! That stairs to my room were like climbing my Everest!
• lorenzetti (9/5): - L'accoglienza è stata cortese , precisa e il giovane ragazzo che ci ha accolto è stato disponibile e paziente nonostante la nostra scarsa conoscenza della lingua. Così anche chi ci ha servito la cena e la colazione la mattina. Ottima colazione. Curata la camera. Grande varietà di the e caffè solubile in camera. Apprezzate le due bottigliette di acqua Purtroppo tutta la notte è stata caratterizzata da un continuo rumore esterno ( forse la ventola di un frigo o di un condizionatore)
• david (9/5): Lovely room and stay. Good value for money. - We had a really nice stay at the Inn. The room was lovely, delightfully furnished with matching curtains, bedspread and wall hangings. And it was beautifully light. It was a happy room. And the breakfast was really good. It is relatively rare that a pub like this one caters well for vegetarians and vegans, well done. Great location, perfect for hikers on the SWCP, as we were. Strongly recommended. Nothing
• Jason (10/5): -
• Pete (9/5): Overnight stay on our way from the Lizard to South Wales - The breakfast was exceptional, friendly staff and the room was comfortable We were on the top floor, we had the negotiate 2 flights of stairs which were very steep, the second flight was also narrow. The lighting on the stairs was push button timer which can go out If you’re not quick enough
• Steve (4/5): -
• Sabrina (7/5): Empfehlenswert - Großzügiges Zimmer Extrem viel Infomaterial auf dem Zimmer inklusive Bildband zur Geschichte des Ortes Im Badezimmer gab es dunkle Stellen an der Decke, die uns direkt an Schimmel haben denken lassen
• Andrew (8/5): Very good! - Great location , good room, very friendly and helpful. Had to catch a train and accommodated us an early breakfast.
• Sarah (9/5): -
• Jocelyn (8/5): -
• Sonia (8/5): Good location. Made to feel welcome. Couldn’t fault the staff or food - The friendly staff. Good food. Comfortable bed Carpets could do with a clean but understand it’s a dog friendly pub and can expect a lot of foot traffic
• Christophe (9/5): -
• Verified traveler (10/5): Pleasant place to stay - Great staff, great location, great breakfast. i can't fault it
• Steve (10/5): - Good location next to the beach, excellent staff and food Nothing to dislike
• Gerburg (8/5): - Die Lage direkt am Strand
• Helen (7/5): A comfortable one night stay - The host who greeted us, showed us to our room and served us at the bar was friendly and had a great sense of humour. He made us feel at home from the start. The hot water system broke down, so we didn't have water for a shower.
• stephen (8/5): - Great location in Instow and great breakfast Room was quite dated. Bathroom in need of a refit but reflected in the price
• Francisca (8/5): -
• Anne (3/5): - Nothing No hotvwater. Couldn't shower. Tables sticky. Bar area grumpy. Stairs from room dangerous. Door propped open with fire extinguisher. No assembly point notice. Staff uniforms and staff grubby and not very helpful. Window frames in.room didn't shut properly.
• Barbara (4/5): Below average - Good location Beds were awful, sagging springs Bathroom with mould above shower and bath and skirting panels hanging off
• HaRa (8/5): - Sehr gute Lage, sauberes geräumiges Zimmer. Gute Küche!
• David (8/5): -
• Manfred (3/5): - Leider kann ich dieser Unterkunft nicht wirklich etwas gutes abgewinnen. Sehr altes Gebäude, sehr abgewohnte Räumlickeiten, mit den Möbeln wurde sich Mühe gegeben, aber es kann über den Allgemeinzustand des Hotels nicht hinweghelfen. Nachts brennt eine grüne Kontrollleuchte an der Decke, die das ganze Zimmer erhellt hat, an Schlaf war kaum zu denken und der Küchenabzug war direkt vor meinem Zimmer und hat die halbe Nacht gerauscht. Einzig die Lage ist super gewesen. Direkt am SWCP
• Annette (6/5): -
• warren (8/5): -
• Luca (9/5): - Vero pub non turistico e musica dal vivo nel weekend fino a tardi, personale gentilissimo e cibo molto buono inoltre posizione perfetta per bagnarsi i piedi o per una passeggiata in spiaggia
• Stewart (8/5): Good stay for business - Great value as price included bedroom, comfy bed. Rooms are a bit worn but for work, decent, Wi-Fi is good as well. Bottom of the road leads to the beach which is stunning. Parking can be a nightmare but I fell lucky.
• Sophie (10/5): - Lovely staff, nice breakfast and really comfortable at a good price!
• Giorgi (7/5): -
• Hanns-Peter (8/5): -
• Michelle (7/5): - Good sized rooms, spotlessly clean, lovely breakfast and coffee, friendly bar and staff were lovely Beds were old and a bit soft, room was cold as by the sea and has old wooden sash windows which let in quite a draught (we needed to use bar mats to stop it rattling)
• Sandra (10/5): - Very nice!!!
• Hendrina (6/5): Redelijk voor 1 nacht maar geen aanrader als je SWCP loopt - Locatie en superaardig personeel Bedden waren echt doorgezakt
• Steve (10/5): Very relaxing with great food - Right on the seafront All good
• Bohee (7/5): Staff welcoming - Good location and staff welcoming. Excellent breakfast Lack of parking. There are no parking facilities at the property. On street parking, if you can find a space, is restricted during the day from 0800 to 1800 to one hour only. This makes it impossible as you are forever thinking about moving the car. Room was clean and comfortable although a little tired and in need of,odernisation
• Deborah (9/5): Room was lovely and welcoming after a hard days walk. - Room was lovely and welcoming after a hard days walk. It was clean and well equipped, was really nice to get a couple of hot chocolate sachets in the room as well as just the usual tea and coffee. Food in the pub downstairs was lovely. Really grateful that we were able to swap our breakfast for a packed lunch. Location was great as it was on the Coastal path which we were walking.
• TomL91 (8/5): -
• Tracey (9/5): Great location- lovely sunset from room! - Friendly staff, perfect location, large bright room At the front with a view of the sunset. Breakfast was great and they were happy to cater for vegans. We stayed on a Sunday night and they had a band on and it did sound like they were in the room us. We were too tired from walking otherwise we’d have gone down and enjoyed them. The music was finished by 10.30pm which we were very grateful for!
• Sarah (10/5): -
• Caroline (9/5): Very comfortable cheerful stay thank you - Very friendly helpful welcoming staff, big room, nice view, good dinner, excellent breakfast Not enough sockets to sort out my electronic devices, no undercover place for my bike
• Kathryn (7/5): Great location .. lovely staff - The staff were so friendly .. nothing was too much trouble . Breakfast was very good . We slept well . A little tired .. but the location more than makes up for this .
• Alex (7/5): A beautiful and unexpectedly-sunny 2-day break in Devon - The staff were friendly and the location was perfect for the beach. Our room wasn't advertised as a sea-view room, but if we sat on the windowsill we could read our books and see the sea. The food was very good. The emergency light on the ceiling was offensively bright, so we needed eye masks to sleep. Also there is no parking at the hotel and parking in Instowe is very limited, so we had to park a 5 minute walk away. Not a problem for able-bodied people like us, but temporarily parking outside the hotel to unload our suitcases was challenging.
• Verena (8/5): - Staff all go the extra mile. Room spacious and comfortable. Very close to Instow Sands.
• Jamie-lee (8/5): Perfect location, great breakfast and friendly staff - Perfect location, great breakfast and friendly staff. We were on the top floor and stairs are very steep and narrow.
• John (9/5): Comfortable accommodation and great value - It’s in a great location with comfortable rooms and welcoming staff The stairs to the second floor bedroom was quite steep so some people might find them difficult to climb or descend. Do talk to the property if you are concerned.
• Stacey (7/5): -
• Kevin (9/5): - Great pub great food excellent location
• catherine (10/5): - Tout mais surtout le personnel: ouvert, flexible, à l écoute, aidant pour toutes les questions que l on avait . Bonne ambiance. Très bon souvenir. Rien
• steve (9/5): Pleasant enough, good food - Lovely food, great location, clean & tidy - nice to relax in the pub. Poorly lit steep stairs.
