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!

Staff were excellent and friendly
Room was comfortable but not room we payed for we payed extra for sea veiw room and our room overlooking the side street instead
All the rooms were named after local towns on our booking form with yourself said double sea veiw appledore instead we were put in double room cathillie appledore room was front facing over sea
I did point this out to staff but they disagreed said only booked double room but clearly states on room booked with you sea veiw appledore
So was disappointed was looking forward to sea veiw room we had come dry own for a funeral and was looking forward to overlooking the sea

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.

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.

I loved it. Just one thing spoiled it: there are very steep steps up to the accommodation. My two chihuahuas were petrified and would not go up or down. I had to put them in a beach bag and carry them. Lovely big room with sea view; all the staff so pleasant and helpful: choice and quality of breakfast first class. I would love to go again …but the stairs. I am almost 90 and had to take care myself, without carrying the dogs. Lovely place!
