Holidays in Bigbury on Sea Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bigbury-on-Sea is renowned for its lovely child friendly beaches and refreshing coastal walks. With its golden sands, Bigbury on Sea has one of the best beaches in the South Hams, and is ideal for children and adults alike. There is plenty for water sports enthusiasts as well, including its’ very own surf school. Walk across the sands at low tide to visit Burgh Island with its unique Art Deco Hotel favoured by Agatha Christie and Noel Coward or at high tide, ride across the water on the famous sea tractor. Climb to the top of the island for the riveting coastal views or just relax and enjoy a drink in the 14th Century Pilchard Inn. Located astride the South West Coastal Path, enjoy exploring the delights of the numerous bays and headlands along this beautiful piece of coastline and visit some of the old Pub/Restaurants in the nearby villages along the way.

Lovely holiday home in an absolutely beautiful setting, the views from the property were stunning. The walk over to Burgh Island and the Pilchard Inn is a must. Had a fabulous holiday.
Superb property with views to match. Very well equipped with great hot tub. We had a very enjoyable week, weather was fantastic- a great bonus. Would definitely visit again.
This is a great property in a fantastic location. Having stayed here for a number of years we feel it would benefit from some minor decorative maintenance, but having said that there is nothing to spoil a stay.
We have been visiting this house for many years and we are still excited as we arrive in Bigbury-on-Sea. The house is always clean with tasteful seaside themed decoration. The tea and scones are very welcome on arrival. You couldnt ask for more.
Lovely house, beautiful views over Bigbury bay and burgh island. Would have been useful to be clearer about the extra costs for the hot tub - details are a bit buried and I only spotted it a week before we arrived.Had a wonderful holiday and we were lucky with the weather. Electrics kept dimming sometimes and the hall light wouldn’t turn off. We had a problem with a broken lock to the lounge door to the garden but that was all sorted quickly thank you. I would say that the bifold doors locks are very stiff and may need some maintenance soon.
Everyone was very impressed with our holiday home.
Loved the decor and spotlessly clean.
Great communication leading up to our stay.
The welcome basket was a nice touch.
We will definitely come again.
Enjoyed a trip over to Burgh Island and The Pilchard Inn. The view from the house was better than looking back from the Island. Made good use of the hot tub even when the weather was bad. Would definitely recommend the house for a family sharing.
House was lovely, even better than the pictures. Very clean and well equipped - it literally had everything we needed/could think of!
The area is beautiful too and just a few short moments from the beach and burgh island.
Would definitely recommend this property 😊
