Perfect!

A beautiful, comfortable apartment, equipped with just about anything you could need and some extra luxuries too.The location is very special and I will miss having my morning coffee on the cosy window seat, enjoying the perfect view. We had great food at the cafe downstairs and at the Pilchard Inn. Our kids loved the beach on our doorstep, the swimming pool, the sea tractor and seeing a helicopter land at Burgh Island hotel! A fabulous place!

Stunning apartment and location

"Hi Vanessa & Peter, Many thanks for providing us with such a wonderful location and apartment for our honeymoon. We had a magical time that we will remember and cherish for ever. Your lovely apartment simply ticks every box and more, you have such good taste in the way it is presented and all the quality items included within made our stay all the better. We loved everything about the apartment and fell in love Bigbury-on-Sea that has shown us a new side to Devon with rugged and beautiful scenery. The restaurant down stairs was superb with very good food and drink both served with a smile by Liz and family. Your communication about our stay has been superb and we again thank you for that. We have already passed details on about your apartment and we are sure you will get some bookings in the future from them and we hope to stay again at some point. Wishing you both all the best for the future and again, thanks for a great honeymoon. Martin & Karen"

Wonderful location and property

What a gem to find, minimal commercialisation, basics available and a wonderful beach. The property exceeded our expectations, superbly appointed and extremely clean. Excellent communication from the hosts, who responded really quickly to the couple of questions we had. They left a few nice surprises to find on our arrival, which we loved. The property and the view were both better in real life than the photos. The beach has something for everybody, our children loved their surfing lessons with the Discovery Surf School, whose staff were really helpful. We all enjoyed kayaking through the rocks at low tide and a walk over to Burgh Island and up to the top is a must. If you are thinking of booking, don’t hesitate, we would love to go back.

Beautiful apartment in a fantastic location.

We loved this apartment. It was absolutely spotless and the owners have thought of everything. Everything in the apartment is of an excellent quality - from the linens used, the fluffy towels, and everything you need in the kitchen. It’s also much bigger than it looks on the photos - perfect for a family of 4. The location is brilliant - right on the beach, we had early morning walks, evening marshmallow toasting on the rocks - so great for the kids. We utilised everything the surf school had to offer and my favourite spot was on the balcony or gorgeous window seat to watch the sunset in the evening. We would really recommend this place!

Stunning location, beautifully appointed apartment

We stayed in the Bigbury apartment for a week as a family of 4 with two primary school aged children. The apartment was sparklingly new, spotless and brilliantly appointed with every convenience possible - games, books, DVDs, everything needed in the kitchen and lovely fresh new facilities. We loved the view over the sandbar to Burgh Island and loved pottering on the beach and chasing the tide. Loads to do within an hour's drive, we spent a lovely week and have rebooked for future holidays! The host had thought of everything and the care and attention to detail was obvious in all her communications and information provided in the apartment, especially during these challenging times. Check-in was easy and contact free. Fully recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa & Peter Watson

Host profile image
We live in Buckinghamshire with our teenage daughter and have enjoyed happy holidays in beautiful south Devon for many years. We snapped up the chance to buy our own little piece of Devon when we stumbled upon our apartment for sale, one rainy blustery day walking on Bigbury beach.

Why they chose this property

To own a property in such a breath-taking and unique location feels incredibly special. To wake up to amazing views whatever the weather is wonderful and we never tire of watching the tides come in and seeing the sea tractor amble its way across the causeway. The area is full of things to do, with many different beaches, historic homes and towns to visit if you can tear yourself away!

What makes this property unique

The easy access to Bigbury beach is fantastic. It is less than 5 minutes walk from the apartment and it is lovely to feel you can quickly pop back to the apartment at any time. Those with older children can watch them on the beach whilst relaxing on the balcony as they explore the many rock pools and caves. Then there’s the early evening game of cricket or boules on the beach to look forward to, perhaps with a little beach bbq whilst watching the glorious sunsets.

The views from the apartment are second to none. There are stunning views out to sea and overlooking Burgh Island and its’ iconic hotel, where Agatha Christie wrote several novels. Only accessible at low tide unless you catch a ride on the one of a kind sea-tractor. We are still undecided on whether we prefer hot, sunny, still days with the crystal waters an azure blue, or the wild grey stormy days, with waves thrashing as they meet. Both are a sight to behold!

Burgh Island, only a short walk across the beach, is steeped in smuggling history with amazing views from the top and the 14th century Pilchard Inn is great for lunch or nights out or step back in time for a glitzy evening at the Burgh Island Hotel.

The apartment is located on the South West Coast Path for miles of scenic walking and the Discovery Surf School is only a few minutes walk away where you can learn to surf, kayak or paddle board during your stay. If golf is your thing, then Bigbury Golf Club is just over one mile up the road with 18 holes and spectacular coastal views. There are many areas of interest with plenty of things to do within a half hour drive.
