The Wayfarer has a great location but the level of cleanliness really lets it down. The shower room had very bad black mildew with a horrible lingering smell. We were shown two rooms and both had the same issue. The windowframes had also not been cleaned properly and were also growing mildew. We raised our concerns to the management at checkout and with follow-up communication and they simply blamed the age of the building and didn’t acknowledge that some deep cleaning (or just some normal cleaning in the cases of the windows) would have made a big difference. It was a real shame because otherwise the room was large, furniture good, view nice, location great. We stayed at 6 other properties as we were walking the coast trail. The others were spotless (and in fact less expensive). The Wayfarer let us down and lets itself down.

Had a great evening meal on New years Eve Not all the food choices were available from the menu as they had been so busy but we were told as we were given the menus. My husband had the Devin Ruby Red burger and he said it was probably the best burger he had ever had !! I had chicken fajitas. They were very large but so good I ate them all. There were 6 of us in total and we all enjoy the food. We had a good evening but we left before New year as one of our party wasn’t feeling well and we had quite a walk home. But we left the pub in full swing with people dancing and having a great time the atmosphere was very good. We will definitely return.

We stayed for three nights in two different rooms. The rooms, shower, etc were nice and clean. I would also recommend the breakfast. The personnel was great and very kind. I don't place 5 stars because the matresses and the wifi were not good at all.

This is a fantastic pub in the beautiful estuary village of Instow . The pub serves several real ales, all beautifully kept. The Sunday roast is magnificent but make sure that you book. Our family has been there on many occasions. The staff are very attentive and professional and Debbie and Ellie made our visit very special. Chris , the landlord often cooks the roast himself and takes a special pride in it. The menu is extensive and everything is excellent . Highly recommended.

After a New Year's Day walk with friends we called in for something light to eat ..... left feeling very content with life ... customer service excellent, food amazing, and good value to boot. 8 of us, 7 different meals and everyone was happy with their choice. Would definitely go again.

What a find! Beautiful rooms, clean, spacious, and we even had a sea view. The food was awesome, well presented, freshly prepared, and generous portion sizes. Thanks to Neve, Marnie, Parker & Debs for going above and beyond. We'll be back! X
