Tides At Instow

Instow, Devon

An eight sleeper at Instow with a large enclosed garden and a private gateway out of it, three dogs welcome and the estuary at the end of the road.

A large enclosed garden with a private gateway leading out of it is precisely the arrangement to look for with three dogs, and Tides At Instow has it. Four bedrooms for eight people, thirty guest ratings, three dogs welcome.

Enclosed with a gate you control means the dogs are secure until the moment you decide otherwise, which in a village where the beach is at the end of the road is exactly the right way round. Instow's estuary sand is the daily walk. The Tarka Trail is just under two miles off and level throughout, Westward Ho three and seven tenths, Saunton Sands four and a tenth carrying a nine with us.

Two bathrooms between eight people is the one thing to weigh against the dog allowance and the garden. What it buys is Instow at the top end: a house that holds a large group, takes three dogs, and has a garden with its own way out into a village where nothing at all needs a car.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Tides At Instow dog friendly?

    Yes, Tides At Instow welcomes up to three dogs. The property has a large enclosed garden with a private gateway that you control, so your dogs are secure until you're ready to head out — which matters when the beach is at the end of the road.

  • Are dogs allowed at Tides At Instow year round?

    The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend confirming directly with the owner when you book, as availability and any house rules can change.

  • What should I know before visiting Tides At Instow with my dog?

    The enclosed garden with its own private gate is a real practical win, giving dogs a secure outdoor space and a controlled exit straight into the village. Instow's estuary beach is at the end of the road for daily walks, and if you want more distance, the Tarka Trail is just under two miles away and level throughout. It's worth noting the house has two bathrooms for eight guests, so if you're filling it to capacity that's the main trade-off to weigh up alongside everything it offers.
