Beautiful room in a beautiful property in a really beautiful location. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Only slight issues was some damp/mould in the bathroom, but it was an old building on the coast.

Cute little accommodation above a pub! All the staff were super friendly, the family suites were spacious enough for myself, my husband and our toddler. She loved using the bunk bed which is in a separate room. Breakfast was great! A real little gem. Would defo stay again!

Andrew

Room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a view over cottages of the beach/sea. Considering that we were directly above the pub, the noise level was fine. Breakfast was lovely (full English). On street parking VERY limited and risky, though we were given a permit to park in the cricket club carpark, which was a proper 10 minute walk away, so drop your luggage first!

Wayfarer Inn
A lovely hotel in Instow and very friendly staff. My room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. A superb all inclusive full English breakfast. Only down side the car park is a 10 minute walk away but not a problem. I will return next time I am in the area.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Tv wouldnt work at all in second room (no connection, after staff help) and buffering continually in first. Why not just let you watch terrestrial? Anything is better than nothing! Bit of mould in bathrooms. We needed to go v early first stay + getting some fresh milk for a v early bowl of cereal was a struggle. Staff v pleasant but on the whole I wouldnt stay here again.
