The views from this former vicarage are simply superb with the sweeping Taw-Torridge
estuary framed by Instow's sands. Stained glass and refined furnishings hint at the house's
1897 build date; bathrobes and bright fabrics bring things up-to-date. The top-floor, two-
bedroom apartment is a swish, comfy bargain.
