This Bed and Breakfast is the finest we’ve ever been to. Caroline and Colin really know what they are doing. Caroline is energized and welcoming with a “can do” attitude that shines. Colin cooked up the most delicious breakfast. Our room was lovely and our bed linens were crisp and smelled so luscious. We melted right in. We didn’t want to leave. Our regret was we were there only one night and didn’t get to enjoy the garden.

We had a lovely two nights at Instow Barton. Caroline and Colin are excellent hosts and as ex chefs, the breakfasts are fabulous ! The house is beautiful and in an incredibly peaceful location a ten minute walk from the Instow beach. Our room had plenty of space and was extremely comfortable, with great linen, dressing gowns and some really lovely local toiletries. Fresh delicious cake every day ! This is a super place to take a break - highly recommended.

Very warm welcome by Caroline, lovely touch homemade cakes in our room. The best pillows we have ever experienced in a hotel or B&B, and very comfy beds. Perfect breakfast prepared by Colin, the apple and cinnamon pastries were delicious. Just sorry we weren't staying longer, but better for the waistline that we weren't. A perfect place to stay, thank you.

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.

Perfect place to stay, the room was really comfortable with a lovely comfy bed and nice en-suite with powerful shower. Caroline and Colin are lovely hosts, welcoming, friendly and helpful and breakfast was delicious (just ate too much), and the added bonus of afternoon tea. Great location, only a short walk down to the beach, restaurant and pubs and other walks along the old railway lines and coastal paths.

Just a short walk off the South West Coast Path this B&B will not disappoint. It felt like home from home, so much so i didn’t want to leave. Fabulous large room with smart furniture. Lovely view over the church. En-suite with bath and shower. Really homely welcome and charming service. Breakfast was more than usual for a B&B with several choices and courses. Quiet location enabled a good night sleep. Stay here and you’ll wish you lived here!

Everything was to like about this charming B&B. Welcoming and attentive hosts, large comfortable bedroom, nice lounge and terrace, tasty fresh-cooked breakfast, everything clean and tidy, great value, even a barn to park the car in and lots to do in the area.

Beautiful b&b set in idyllic spot with a side view of the sea from our bay window. Amazing sunsets at night! Collin and Caroline are amazing hosts and the room was extremely comfortable and the breakfast superlative!! Huge attention given to my milk intolerance which was so appreciated. Highly recommend and would score 15/10 if I could!!
