Barton Instow Guest house is a jewel in the crown. A lovely old converted farmhouse nestled in the Instow countryside but only a short walk to the beautiful beach front. The bed was clean and comfortable, towels dressing gowns and toiletries are also provided. Cold milk was available each evening for a morning cuppa in your room before an amazing breakfast choice of delicious food. Packed lunches are available at an additional small cost if you are walking or going to the beach. Caroline and Colin are a lovely couple who run their guest house with pride.
Just had 3 nights at Instow Barton. If I could given them 11 I would. Great brekkies catering for all inc my veggie husband who loved home made granola, cakes, pastries plus full breakfast. Good clean spacious rooms. -Well placed for quick 10 min walk to Instow where we had fresh fish/ mussels on 2 nights. Honestly a generous couple who cater for absolutely everything. Good nights sleep as quiet with scenic views. best cup of tea I’ve ever had - I think it’s the Devon water can’t believe it makes such a difference. Was allowed to bring our dog who is pretty well behaved. Lovely rest, sunbathing at Saunton and revisiting old haunts. Thankyou both, a great stay.
Really beautiful guest house set in the Devonshire countryside and amazing hosts . Made to feel very welcome . Room was lovely , clean and the bed was so comfy !!! The homemade cake was a nice added touch . Delicious home cooked breakfast and beautiful fresh fruit and delicious granola !!!
We will be back for another stay at some point
Caroline and Colin were very friendly and welcoming hosts. They are passionate about the B&B and nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money as well. Super clean room and public areas. Breakfast was superb. Our table was loaded with juices, home made granola, fresh fruit, yoghurt, freshly baked pastries in addition to the personalised choice of hot dishes. This hearty breakfast would leave no-one hungry. The room was spotless with luxury bed and bedding. Tea, coffee and plenty of fresh milk were available in the room. Decaf and a choice of non-dairy milk was readily provided on request. In addition, fresh home made cake appeared every afternoon in the room. We also made use of their packed lunch offer (Extra cost) and this was perfect for a long day out and about. I highly recommend Instow Barton and will be returning as soon as I can.
The hosts and the reviews lived up to our expectations. Great Location, the local pubs were very welcoming and the food in the instow Arms was very nice.

Everything was fantastic about our stay. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and the property is very nice. A great location for exploring the area.
Lovely room overlooking the garden and countryside and sea with a very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast with homemade goodies, could not have been better.
We certainly would not hesitate to book again.
Thank you, Caroline and Colin, for looking after us so well and for all your very funny stories about your horses, dogs and cat 😄
Spent 2 lovely nights at Instow Barton in August. Stayed in bedroom 3 which was lovely size. Very comfortable bed and amazing selection for breakfast.
Will certainly stay again if down that way.
Caroline was very helpful and welcoming.
Couldn’t fault our stay, host was wonderful and couldn’t do enough. Location was fabulous and the room was incredibly spacious. Breakfast was the best breakfast I’ve ever had!! Will definitely be back.
Super friendly and welcoming host, a comfortable and attractive room, home-made cake every afternoon and wonderful breakfasts. The B&B is an easy walk to a stunning beach and various restaurants. We ate out at The Glorious Oyster and The Boat House - both recommended but we preferred the former for its relaxed, beachy vibe and quality of the dishes.
Such a lovely place to stay. Quiet and relaxing with beautiful surroundings and an excellent breakfast.
Room decor looked great and was very clean. Caroline is a fantastic host
