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!

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: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Wonderfully friendly and welcoming. We were there for a family funeral and the staff were very understanding ( even arranging a late check out so we didn't have to wait around in the cold). They were very helpful lending me an iron/ board. The rooms were very comfortable ( and I'm picky about my bed!),clean and well appointed. Highly recommended ,I would happily go back.
