“Great seaside location & the most comfortable apartment!”
We had a fantastic stay in Bigbury. The apartment was really comfortable with all the necessary facilities and more. The view from the apartment is amazing - quite something to wake up to. Watching the tide come and go and cooking in the well appointed kitchen kept us busy for much of the day. We didnt really have time to get the most from the facilities (swimming pool, gym, bar) during a long weekend, but they looked great and given more time we'd have been there like a shot.
Dave the caretaker was great, staying past his normal going home time to see us into the flat after a long drag down the M5. Bear in mind - in winter its very dark in the main Bigbury car park - take a torch. Also, dont rely on being able to get mobile signal if you are planning on meeting up with friends/family who may be running late! There is a phone in the flat that you can use however.
One last recommendation - we had a fantastic meal at the C13th Journey's End pub in Ringmore, A short drive or half hour walk away, through Challaborough.

About the location
BIGBURY-ON-SEA
Modbury 6 miles; Plymouth 12 miles.
Bigbury-on-Sea is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is ideal for family holidays. Dusted with sand and lapped by shallow waters, the beach offers safe fun for groups particularly if you’ve got children in tow. In addition, Bigbury-on-Sea beach is dotted with rock pools, so there’s plenty of entertainment for budding marine biologists. There’s also a wide and varied selection of watersports available to visitors who prefer their holidays to feature a little adrenaline rush. Windsurfing and kite-surfing are popular here, with hire facilities located right on the beach. To give you some peace of mind, there are lifeguards present at Bigbury-on-Sea beach during May to September and the beach also has a first-aid room. You can even take the dog onto the beach, although they are restricted to certain areas during the summer. Bigbury’s most famous landmark is Burgh Island, which overlooks the beach itself. The island is accessible at low tide, when the waters reveal a causeway that links it to the beach. However, when the tide is in you can still reach the island by hitching a ride on the popular and unique ‘sea tractor’. Burgh Island boasts an award-winning hotel, elegant and rather genteel, it’s an ideal romantic retreat for couples. Explore the South Devon coast with its fabulous sandy beaches and its breathtakingly beautiful coastal path or simply take time to visit some of the charming estuary towns and villages dotted throughout the area, such as Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. The city of Plymouth and the wild open spaces of Dartmoor are also both close at hand.
