Instow The Dunes - Quatre Chambres Maison, Couchages 10

This extraordinary house, less than 50 metres from the soft-sand beach, has room for up to 10 guests and is immaculately finished and presented. A selection of highly rated pubs and restaurants are within 50 metres walk, along with a charming local deli and café. In addition to the beach, local attractions include surfing at Westward Ho! (5.5 miles via road), crabbing or relaxing in Appledore (5.5 miles via road or a short hop across the river Torridge on the seasonal passenger ferry), sailing at Instow Yacht club, or soaking up the literary scene at the Appledore Book Festival. No matter your age – there is plenty for everyone to enjoy in this stunning location!
This reverse-level family home has all four bedrooms on the ground floor, including a delightful and spacious bunk room with two sets of bunkbeds (perfect for children), along with a twin, a double and an en-suite king-size bedroom (with French doors opening onto the garden). High quality bed-linen and luxuriously soft towels are provided in all bedrooms. The bathrooms are delightfully furnished with a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower in the family bathroom, and a walk-in shower in the en-suite. Also downstairs are laundry facilities (washing machine and tumble dryer), a games room with table tennis and table football, and a running machine/treadmill should one of your party wish a moment of solitude or some additional exercise! Head upstairs to the beautiful, light-filled first floor and you will be immediately struck by the view, through the picture window, of the dunes and the water to Appledore and beyond. A fabulous open-plan lounge-dining area decorated with striking artwork, boasts vaulted ceilings and a large wood-burning stove. A huge sliding door leads to a balcony, with a bar table and stools where you can enjoy a drink while watching breathtaking sunsets over the water. When not captivated by the view, the lounge is also equipped with a 50-inch Smart TV and soundbar. The stylish kitchen/breakfast room has been finished to a very high specification with lovely wooden worktops, a large island unit with colourful stools for breakfast or perching with drinks (seating space for five), and a cosy sofa. The kitchen is well equipped, with a double electric oven, gas hob, a full-height fridge, a Nespresso coffee machine, and adequate high-quality kitchenware to prepare and serve a feast for the full household (a well-stocked library of recipe books is also on hand should you want some inspiration!). A separate pantry (linked to the kitchen) contains a freezer and plenty of space to store enough food to keep you well supplied no matter how long your stay. Another large, sliding door from the kitchen opens onto a further balcony – a gorgeous spot for a morning coffee or alfresco breakfast. Also upstairs is a cosy snug with a further collection of fantastic books for you and your family to dive into, a wide selection of board games and puzzles to bring everyone together and another Smart TV. Integrated, high-end Bose and Bang & Olufson speakers are in the kitchen and open plan lounge-dining area, ensuring you can listen to your favourite music whilst away or discover new music to associate with your holiday memories!
Outside, the rear garden is a wonderful sun-trap. Sheltered from the wind, with a luxurious 6-8 person hot tub (spa towels are also provided), and enough outdoor seating to allow the whole family to sit down at tables. Professionally installed lighting in the garden allows you to continue the motions of dinner or fun in the hot tub after sunset and into the evening. The garden has bespoke washing points for pets and surfing equipment, whilst also providing adequate storage space for bicycles or surfboards. Located on a private road with only three other houses, the driveway has parking for up to four cars, ensuring you can come and go with ease, and your focus remains on relaxation and having fun.
