"Weather was perfect, the position was perfect and the apartment was very comfortable."

The balcony was quite the sun trap and looking out across the sand with Burgh Island opposite made it quite relaxing, with the entertainment on the beach as every dog seem to enjoy their freedom on the sand and in the water. If the apartment had been available for the ongoing week we would have stayed.

"The property is absolutely perfect."

Modern, comfortable, spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished. The kitchen is extremely well fitted Luxurious little touches like soft, fluffy M&S towels, a powerful hairdryer, and beautiful Denby crockery. The location couldn’t be better and the cafe on site is excellent. We have stayed in two other apartments on the causeway and this is (in our opinion) the best!

Everything we needed to make our stay very special. Catered so well for grandchildren, dog and us, the grandparents! Beautiful views, with easy access to the beach, and excellent facilities available. Thank you for a lovely stay. We’d certainly would love to revisit.

"Fabulous apartment."

We were impressed with the light, bright and airy feel of the apartment. The beds and furniture were comfortable and modern. The rooms were uncluttered, but still had all the equipment and utensils you could need. The appliances were quality, however were easily negotiated without the need to read lengthy manuals before using. Sensible approach from owners, no need for numerous unnecessary instructions regarding stay. Our 17th stay at the causeway, but first time at no 4. It won't be our last!

"A shower mat would be very welcome."

The shower cubicle is curiously very small in such a large bathroom space. We had a lovely time in this very comfortable flat - very relaxed, wonderful views and sunsets. The owner was very kind, helpful and accommodating when we asked for help to move from another flat into no 4 for a second week - we really appreciated that. Helpful Holidays were also brilliant at helping us with that, as was the lovely house keeper. Thank you so much, everyone. We can’t wait to go back!!

"Really lovely apartment!"

Comfort in all rooms ! Everything you could wish for in a relaxing environment! Feeling really recharged! Wardrobe doors and knobs need attention In bedroom just of the hall .lights in ceiling in kitchen flashing. And would like to point out that the Shell lights on windowsill in my opinion are a fire risk.

We've been told loads of times that it's the best apartment at the Causeway and really glad you loved the apartment. The ceiling lights are on a dimmer and it's quite normal with LED bulbs that they flicker at the minimum setting. They can just be adjusted easily and will stop flickering. The shell lights are perfectly safe! It's a ten watt bulb on a fused 3 pin wall plug and we have an electrician who stays regularly and he has no problem with the lamp. We've checked the wardrobe and happy to say there's no problem with it at all. Property Owner

"Lovely property in a superb location."

Great experience from start to finish. The only minor grumble is that the sauna is out of use being rebuilt.

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are so glad that you had such a lovely time. It was very unfortunate that during your stay that work had to be done on the sauna. The sauna has now been replaced and is up and running again. We do hope to welcome you back to the apartment again at another time. Property Owner

"The views of the causeway and sea from the living area windows was amazing."

The apartment was cosy and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The walks on the cliff tops accessible just outside the gate were an added bonus. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it.

"The best apartment at Burgh Island Causeway!"

I've stayed in a number of apartments here and this is the by far the best. It's got it's own private large terrace where the waves lap at the terrace wall at high tide. It literally is right on the beach. Most of the other apartments only have small balconies, so this made a real difference. The apartment has been modernised with a new kitchen and new bathrooms, whereas a lot of the apartments are a bit tired. It's tastefully decorated and really clean. It had everything we needed and we will certainly book to come back to this apartment, when we come back to Bigbury again. The indoor heated swimming pool and the restaurant are on site and both overlook the beach. We loved both. It's also got a gym and sauna but we didn't use those. It's got it's own parking space and there is plenty of visitor private parking spaces. The view of the beach and Burgh Island from the apartment is simply magical and as the apartment is right next to the beach, you can listen to the waves whilst you sleep.

Your home away from home

4 Burgh Island Causeway is a ground-floor apartment positioned above the beach at Bigbury-on-Sea in Devon, featuring stunning views towards Burgh Island from within the apartment and from its large private beachside terrace. The terrace allows sunbathing and dining beachside in your own private space: alternatively you can use the indoor heated pool within the Leisure Club which has lovely views across the beach.

This inviting apartment offers an ideal bolthole for a family looking for a tranquil getaway to the Devon seaside.

Park in the allocated space and be welcomed into this beautifully furnished apartment boasting an incredible open-plan living space where care has been taken to add an air of opulence through the tasteful soft furnishings and quality amenities.

You can cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen, making the most of the delightful island space, and enjoy your meal at the dining table with the backdrop of fantastic seaside views.

The sitting area provides a charming space to relax and reflect on your day and there is also a characterful window seat allowing guests to admire the view with a coffee in hand.

Throw open the patio doors and head out onto the large terrace, the ideal spot for alfresco dining. Watch as the tide ebbs and flows directly in front of the apartment.

Once the night has drawn in, freshen up in a stylish bathroom, before snuggling up in one of the two bedrooms, choosing between a well-presented king-size room or a delightful twin with en-suite shower room.

The property has access to a range of on-site facilities, including a bar, restaurant, sauna, gym and is only paces away from a fantastic sandy beach.

Bigbury-on-Sea itself offers a local pub and access to pretty coves and walks along the coastline.

From here, visit Kingsbridge where there is a local museum, explore the wildlife and scenery of the South Devon Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, visit National Trust - Bolberry Down, or head over to the seaside town of Salcombe where there are many more eateries, pubs, sandy beaches and watersports facilities for guests to enjoy.

Make an unforgettable trip to the coast of Devon with a stay at the lovely 4 Burgh Island Causeway.

Burgh Island View Apartments

Just 20 yards from Bigbury-on-Sea's big and splendid sandy beach, looking to Burgh Island Causeway, are 29 stunning, high quality apartments, of which we let a number. Within the same building are excellent leisure facilities and a restaurant. The views over the sea to the south and west, and at low tide of a vast expanse of smooth washed yellow sand reaching to Burgh Island, are outstanding. The island's jolly pub, The Pilchard, is fun to visit (long-legged sea tractor at high tide). All the apartments, which are privately owned and individually furnished, have those sensational views, and are wonderfully light, with large, airy open-plan living/dining/kitchens and glazed doors to balconies or terraces. The smallish bedrooms, at the back (without views), have good quality en suite bath or shower-rooms. The apartment building is three-storey. Most apartments have easy access (short walk from parking and between 5 and 9 steps down to the lift). The ground floor (still high above the beach) apartments have big terraces, the first and top floor apartments have very good-sized balconies. The leisure facilities, which are free for guests to use and open from 10am every day (except Christmas Day), include a fine indoor swimming pool (40' x 20' x 4'6"), spa pool, well-equipped gym (treadmill, steps, cycles, Concept II Rower and other instruments of torture) and sauna (no children under 14 in gym or sauna). There are changing rooms, a shower and disabled loo. The Club restaurant/smart bar, is open 10am to 9pm during the High Season, reservations recommended (for all other times of the year, please contact the Leisure Centre for opening times), serves excellent food throughout the day, with a popular dinner menu which varies daily and themed evenings. You can also order meals to take to your apartment. The comfy lounging area has sofas and WiFi, and the sunny outdoor terrace faces the sea.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

BIGBURY

Bigbury-on-Sea 1.9 miles; Kingsbridge 6.8 miles; Salcombe 10.5 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.

Important Information

Note: The Club is open from 10 am daily and offers a selection of hot and cold food and a wide selection of beverages. Booking is advisable for the restaurant during high season and weekends.
