7 Beachdown

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at 7 Beachdown.

The house has everything you need and is in such a lovely spot for walks to the beach, Bigbury and Burgh Island. We loved eating on the terraces the views are fantastic. The caravan park nearby did not bother us in the slightest - there was no noise from the park. Challaborough beach was lovely and we went most days to enjoy the sea. Bigbury beach is perfect for the doggies and just a short walk away. We had read some negative reviews about the roads down to the property - they are narrow but drive slowly and they are perfectly manageable. Most beautiful places in Devon are at the end of a single track road. We will definitely visit again. Thank you!

Super place to stay for a large family group.

Third year of staying in the house. Will be booking again for the next year. Only comment to make is that the decking outside the living room requires attention.

Located down a very narrow lane, so be aware this can be problematic getting in or out when other vehicles come the other way.

Although the 'village' is mainly full of a vast static caravan park, it was fairly quiet during our visit in middle of May Modern, well fitted out and stocked property, we had some poor weather but the heating system was very good. Neither of the bathroom fans worked, and the bathrooms only have 1 small high level window so difficult to ventilate naturally. One of the windows upstairs wouldn't close properly, a number of the windows are small and high level so very difficult to open unless you are particularly tall. The layout of the lounge doesn't make the best of the large picture windows. The outside areas needing some attention ie weeding in the garden The internet connectivity is particularly poor - often there is none and it drops in and out, because of where it is of course but you shouldn't book this property if you need/want reliable connectivity or want to watch the TVS - there's little point in having 5 smart TVs with such poor connectivity.

What an amazing property.

The house is so warm and welcoming. This is our second stay at 7 Beachdown. When we arrived, we had a welcome pack to the house, which was lovely. We enjoyed eating the contents of this. Our beds were made up on arrival and the sheets, duvet and the towels were of really high quality. The local beach is about a 5 minute walk, which makes it so easy for walking the dog and for us to get out and have some fresh air. If we was going to pick holes, the only thing that wasn't great this time around was the wifi, it was very slow or didn't connect. However, on a positive note, we had a great stay at Beachdown and we have recommended this property to friends and family for a great stay. Thank you for letting us use your lovely house, we will be back. Kind regards Ange Hill

Enjoyed our stay inside lovely perfect for the 8 of us.

Outside needs a bit of love and care. it was a easy walk to Challaborough Beach and Bidbury Beach which was so lovely also close to other Beaches in the car. There are narrow roads all around the area so you do not have to mind that and just get use to it lol. Only negatives was no tin opener which is not mega and also it did rain a hell of lot last 2 days which was very muddy on the road to the holiday home which we could not go down towards beach until it subsided a bit and bottom step to road was no more but that was all due to not much rain over the months i suppose.So all in all a fantastic holiday everyone enjoyed themselves very much. Thankyou

We have returned for a 2nd time.

Love 7 Beachdown. Lovely morning trips to the coffee van at Burgh Island. Long beach walks & Happy people. Recommend Salcombe, Totnes and Beach walks. We will return as we still have so much to explore. Don't want to leave! No problems with 7 Beachdown, all perfect. Thank you

What a place to stay!

Holiday home of dreams. Burgh Island will hold a special place in our hearts forever. We spent a day in Plymouth and Paignton, both great places for kids and adults alike. A well-equipped holiday home, spacious with plenty of dining areas. Was an unusual smell but it was swiftly dealt with when we advised guest services (number in welcome book). One tiny negative - gaps in decking are a trip hazard. 10/10 we will return!

Loved our stay, the property is very close to a lovely beach and walks.

The property was great too, rooms were clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could need. The outside area was great with comfy seats, there was also a second terrace to catch the late afternoon sun which was fab!

A fabulous house.

Really enjoyed the stay and well equipped for a holiday. A few small niggles explained below but overall very positive. Steps going up to terrace are rotten and dangerous so couldn’t use, and garden was very overgrown. Needs some fans or air con as upstairs gets very hot. En-suite has a nasty smell all the time. Bread knife needed! As I said overall excellent and none of these stoped us having a great stay.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at 7 beachdown, this is our second time visiting and plan to do it again in the future.

The property is well placed with a short distance walk to the beech. The owners of the property have gone out of their way to create a warm and inviting living space inside and out. With the sea and surrounding areas of natural beauty a stone throw away, there is lots to see and do - would totally recommend this place if not just for a get-away holiday, but also for those who enjoy the sea air, coastal walks and day trips out.

Based on a Christmas stay for 8 adults costing £2200 The positives are: Great location for access to beach & walking/Burgh Island The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms modern with good showers.

The dog bed etc is a thoughtful addition The table top football provided a lot of fun Big kitchen/workspace and the outdoor area is spacious and very useable Gated safe community We didn't have hot water when we arrived but the problem was sorted swiftly. Plenty of parking, we parked 3 cars and the electric charger was a positive for us. Some negatives: The house looks over a BIG caravan park, it was closed at Christmas but I should imagine the noise and traffic would be a nuisance in summer. It's a very disappointing view. The house is well equipped and a sociable space, but lacks a cosy feel, therefore it made it difficult to relax fully. And because it's lacks soft furnishings noise bounces around, especially when the table top football is in action! The sofa area particularly needs some rethinking, it provides a place to watch TV, but isn't sociable because you are all sat in a line, rather than a group. The coffee table is too small and you can't reach it from the sofa. If you use Challaborough on SAT NAV instead of postcode you come into the area via a tarmac road rather than a very narrow dirt track with a lot of potholes! This would seem a more sensible way to arrive. We also noted the following: Only one champagne glass Wine glasses could do with being upgraded Fridge is small for 8 and the door doesn't seem to shut fully. Cooker small for cooking for 8 adults Table is a tight squeeze for 8 adults Could do with a second shoe tray, not big enough for 16 shoes! Not sure the extractor fans were working, alarms set off twice 'Wardrobes' not very practical, no drawers for jumpers/t-shirts etc. We had an enjoyable stay, but based on the above we'd not revisit, or recommend to friends. It is a great location for the beach and walking but didn't provide us with a warm cosy feeling. Might be better for a summer stay, although you'd then be sharing the beach with 350 static caravan families!!

Wow what a property.

It was really clean when we arrived. The beds were comfortable and it felt like home from home. We had some beverages on arrival which was a welcomed gift. I haven’t stopped talking about the house and we can’t wait to re book. Thank you for making this week away enjoyable.

Our family of 8 had a fantastic time staying at 7 Beachdown.

Its a fabulous house ,well equipped, comfortable , clean and very spacious.Great location,only a few minutes walk to Bigbury and Burgh Island.

At least a month before arriving we Requested that one of the superking beds to be split to make two singles .

This request was ignored. We had to phone a few times to speak to someone,, said could we not leave it till following day ..we said no we couldn't. they gave us information where the the duvet and sheets where kept, so we did it ourselves .on moving beds to be split, we found sweet papers and accumulated dust so sorted it all out

The house is really lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.

The outside area is great and the open plan living is lovely. However, we found the area not great for teenagers. We had to drive everywhere to find anything fun for them to do and that’s not always fun as the roads away from the property are not for the faint hearted. Where the roads are so narrow, what you think is a short journey in mileage actually ends up taking double the time. The house is also extremely hot! I honestly don’t know how we would have coped if the weather was any warmer. I think an investment in some air conditioning would be a good idea. Going downstairs for the toilet was also a little annoying, but I am 8 months pregnant so probably annoyed me more than it usually would. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommended it to people who enjoy walking and the beach, it just didn’t quite suit our needs at this moment in time :)

Beautiful house.

Perfect in every way. Shame it has no control over the weather.

Very clean and comfortable Could do with shaver and electric toothbrush sockets and somewhere to dry hair with a mirror

One of the best equipped holiday homes we have ever stayed in.

Welcome pack lovely. Comfortable beds. Fabulous outside seating area. More attention needs to be given to cleaning, although on the face of it everything looks good,once you settle in you begin to notice how dusty the place is. Skirting boards, table legs, behind the sofa by the windows. ( no we didn't pull the sofas out,the dust is easily seen). One of the real negative points for us was how sound travels in an open plan house! Not good when you are trying to get children to sleep. On the whole a really nice place to stay, but take note this looks directly over a huge caravan site and the roads leading to the house are frighteningly narrow.

The property was lovely and very comfortable but the view wasn’t brilliant as it overlooked a caravan park, which was not highlighted when booked.

Fortunately we visited out of school holidays and was quiet, but do not know if it would have been like this during school holidays. There were quite a few wood lice within the property and on arrival there was a smell of drains, when we contacted the property manager we were advised how to temporarily resolve the issue ourselves during our stay. Also, plug sockets near mirrors would be welcomed for doing hair and makeup. The welcome pack was a lovely addition. I would recommend this accommodation despite the little complaints. It is such a lovely area and plenty of beaches to visit all within easy reach. The narrow winding road to the property is a little hair-raising to say the least. The road at the back of the caravan park is certainly the road to use.

Our second booking at Beachdown.

... From Spring to Winter, we loved it just as much! Be back next year!

Home lovely and well equipped.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, lots to do and wonderful walks. Thank you

The location of the property was totally misrepresented.

The detail described it as a quaint village. It was not. It was totally geared for caravans. The road to the property consisted of a single track road for miles, with passing places, not helpful when you are next door to a site containing hundreds of caravans. A site that at no point was mentioned, not even in the directions, when it would have been easier to mention it. It was clear that the intention was for visitors to arrive knowing nothing of the site. If we knew of the site there is no way we would have booked it. It totally spoiled our stay. The village naturally was geared to the hundreds of caravans not a luxury property.

Fabulous property, great quality utensils and furniture.

Lanes can be a little tricky at times.

7 Beachdowns is a beautiful spotless home where every detail to make our stay was very well considered and accommodated for.

Even the dog got his own bowls, feed mat and bed to use. The house is very spacious, bright and incredibly well kitted out to a very high standard, The garden areas are really lovely and were used daily by us, the outside sofa was sooo comfy too and continued the high standard from the inside. The location was stunning just a short walk across the headland to Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh island, and a lovely bay across the headland in the other direction. Wonderful scenery and coastline. I would certainly recommend a stay here, we all agreed we had never stayed in such a well considered equipped home, AND it’s dog friendly. It’s so refreshing to stay in a lovely clean high standard home with a dog and respect it as one would do in our own home, 7 Beachdowns was an absolute delight and offered just the break and R&R I needed.

A great property in a wonderful location we would recommend staying here you won't be disappointed.

A wonderful place to stay.

Clean, large bedrooms, 5 min walk to beach and coastal path, well-equipped living space, and easy parking. Definite 5* holiday.

The house was very clean and utility with everything needed.

.I definitely recommend this location.

Absolutely love this property.

The location is fantastic and outdoor space is wonderful. We also enjoyed cooking and dinning in the gorgeous kitchen. We simply couldn’t fault anything. Only a couple of suggestions, could do with a dressing table or shelf with mirror to do hair and makeup, I had to stand in the small room by the bathroom as only mirror where plug is. Also, maybe some curtains as very bright in the early morning. Thanks for the fab stay.

We had a truly wonderful stay at 7 Beachdown.

The Property inside and out is stunning with everything we needed. We had lovely BBQ’s outside and it was easy to cook meals when we wanted. The property was exceptionally clean. At the end of our week we did not want to leave, which is not normally the case! Thank you so much.

Home lovely and well equipped, thoroughly enjoyed our stay, lots to do and wonderful walks.

Thank you.

Great House, kitchen utensil and appliances good quality.

Beds comfortable. Fabulous patio furniture for the great weather we’ve had. Good position to explore Dartmouth, Salcombe and Hope Cove. Winking Prawn and Salcombe beach is a must! Thank you for the stay, would recommend. Lanes can be tricky at times. Catered for all ages. Lovely evening walk over to Burgh Island. Thanks again!!

Lovely house and a brilliant holiday!

Welcome pack was greatly appreciated and a lovely touch. House well equipped and outside space was fantastic. Thank you

Loved the view from the higher deck, chilling with a glass of wine, watching the sun go down.

The property is lovely inside and out. Places to visit, Torquay, Cockington, Salcombe, Dartmouth. Stunning location, great beaches. We have all had a fabulous week and cannot wait to return!!!

This is our second visit to 7 Beachdown.

We love the holiday home. We were a family of 6. Lovely walks along the local beach Burgh Island, travelled to many local towns. Weather not great but didn't stop us having fun!

We have returned for a 2nd time.

Love 7 Beachdown. Lovely morning trips to the coffee van at Burgh Island. Long beach walks and happy people. Recommend Salcombe, Totnes and beach walks. We will return as we still have so much to explore. Don't want to leave. No problems with 7 Beachdown all perfect. Thank you

Walking along the coast, beach, having drinks on Burgh Island at the pub.

The Box in Plymouth was fab, as was the 300. Great fun! The house was beautiful, clean and well equipped, enjoyed all the facilities. Football table was great too. Thank you

Very beautiful home, we found everything we needed!

Every utensil, furniture is such good quality which really contributed to the great experience of our stay! Will defo book again! Thank you
