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.
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
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.
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.
We had a super stay. An excellent welcome. Every convenience we could have wished for. Spotlessly clean accommodation. Comfortable bed. Great breakfast. Top class hospitality.
Property was in a lovely peaceful location and our room was a good size and immaculately clean. Hosts were lovely and very welcoming. Loved the little touches like fresh milk and the homemade cake was wonderful. Breakfast was also amazing. Would highly recommend.
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.
Stunning and tasteful accommodation in a beautiful, peaceful location. Delicious breakfasts and outstanding cake and pastries prepared on the premises by welcoming hosts. Fabulous in all respects.
We have been to the venue before and loved it and not hesitate to go back again we love the walks you can do in the area and local bus service is just down the road
This was by far the best stay during our 7 day hike along the south west coast path from Minehead to Westward Ho!. I would give it a 5.5 out of 5, if I only could.
Caroline was a wonderful host.
Everything was well thought through and we felt very welcome.
Brilliant place to stay, we only stayed one night but it was well worth it. The room was a great size with a good tea/coffee tray, decent size bathroom and bed. Breakfast was fantastic. Really well worth staying.
The picture looks like a cottage, it is in fact a farm house. Large, well appointed bedrooms, big comfortable bed, tea/coffee facilities with a flask of fresh milk and home made cake. Charming hosts. Fantastic breakfast. Perfect.
