Top Instow Beach Hotel Reviews

The Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room nice comfortable beds - convenient parking and Hotel is well placed for town centre"

Westbeach Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good

"It was nice that their was a key safe for entry. Able to park outside the door although not guaranteed. Ideal location base for visiting various places. It was clean and tidy with comfortable beds. The kitchen had everything that would be needed. Would definitely stay here again."

The Royal George

8/10 Good

"Comfortable bed. Nice room. Espresso machine in room - excellent. Blinds were a bit broken and not blackout. Single glazing which was mostly ok at this time of year but anyone or vehicle who did go past definitely disturbed our sleep. Bath towels were small, not bath sheets. Lovely friendly staff. Good vibe. Chilled. No parking which we didnt realise until we got there. Would be useful to have that flagged before travelling so you can go straight to one of the public car parks."

Instow Barton

10/10 Excellent

"Caroline is a great host…."

Sailors Rest

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Great view. Comfortable room. Outside area could be more presentable."

Durrant House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything the hotel lacked wss completely made up by the excellent service offered by Margueite. Thank you for your efforts and understanding."

Appledore Factory

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location and a lovely flat. The skylights make it feel really light and airy, with fantastic sea views. It was exactly what we needed for our mini break in Devon. We also had a meal at their restaurant downstairs, the Flame Factory, which was wonderful. The staff were absolutely fantastic and so warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!"

The Wayfarer Inn

8/10 Good

"Very nice room with sea view, unfortunately very steep stairs to get there and as suffering mobility issues, not the best, although staff were not aware. Breakfast excellent, and evening meal for 7 highly commented on favourably, hot plates and food. Unfortunately a bout of food poisoning occurred overnight, although the source cannot be confirmed but suspected. Would recommend and stay again. Chair to be placed in room in September after renovations will be a bonus."
