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.

Best of the best!
What a delightful experience it was to stay at Instow Barton B&B and be hosted by Colin & Caroline. Happy, bubbly and a very friendly reception on our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of there way to make us feel welcome in there home. Very generous size bedroom, large barthoom and cake was in our room everyday! Breakfast menu was extensive and varied. Quality of food was of a 5 Star standard and presented in a timely and professional manner. I’d go as far as to say that we were being hosted by a couple that were Customer focused and there main aim was to ensure that we received the very best service that was on offer. Can highly recommend Instow Barton to anyone wanting to stay over for a special midweek or weekend break. This B&B is special. Ian & Cathy Perth, Western Australia

Fabulous hosts, couldn't do enough for us and our family of little dogs, very welcoming and homely. Excellent breakfast and great value for money. Breakfast room is delightful, along with the choice of food. Clean and tidy rooms, very spacious and comfortable 'huge' beds and fluffy warm duvets. The walled terrace area is excellent for outside dog security with lovely views and peaceful surroundings. Packed lunches were made available for us at short notice and were excellent value for money and totally delicious. The home made cakes and fresh cut fruit were an additional delight. This is a hidden gem and well worth a visit for a peaceful stay in a beautiful part of Devon. All the personal touches make you feel valued and special as a guest, Just perfect.

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.
