1 / 24Hove To
Instow, Devon
A two bedroom Instow house with a rear enclosed garden, two dogs welcome, two bathrooms between four and the beach at the end of the street.
Thirty nine guest ratings on a two bedroom house is the sort of number that only accumulates when people book it twice. Hove To sits in Instow with two bathrooms between four people, a rear enclosed garden holding furniture and a charcoal BBQ, and two dogs welcome.
Instow's beach runs along the estuary where the Taw meets the Torridge, and it is at the end of the street rather than the end of a drive. That is the whole case for this village with a dog. For longer days the Tarka Trail is two and three tenths of a mile and level throughout, Westward Ho three and three tenths, and Saunton Sands four and a half carrying a nine with us.
The enclosed garden at the back counts for more here than the beach does, because in a village this walkable the dogs are out constantly and need ground that is not pavement to come back to. Two bathrooms between four people is generous, and everything in the village is close enough on foot that a week here can be done without moving the car once.

Is Hove To dog friendly?
Yes, Hove To welcomes up to two dogs. The property has a rear enclosed garden with furniture and a charcoal BBQ, which gives your dogs somewhere safe to roam and unwind between walks.
Are dogs allowed at Hove To year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend confirming directly with the owner before booking, particularly if you're planning a trip outside of peak season.
What should I know before visiting Hove To with my dog?
The enclosed rear garden is a real asset here — in a village as walkable as Instow, dogs tend to be out a lot, and having secure outdoor space to come back to makes a difference. Instow beach is at the end of the street, and if you're after longer days out, the flat Tarka Trail is just over two miles away, with Saunton Sands reachable at around four and a half miles.
