About this property
Challaborough 2.3 miles. Ideally positioned within the vibrant village of Bigbury-on-Sea, is this fabulous duplex apartment, 2 The Bay. Boasting magnificent views across Bigbury bay, this bolthole offers up a wonderful space from which to enjoy a relaxing retreat to the South Devon Coast. The large and airy open-plan living space has been well-designed with a fully-fitted kitchen hosting all the necessary appliances for any self-catering stay, as well as a sociable dining space with seating for six and an inviting seating area with a contemporary feel, together providing the ultimate space to entertain family and friends. Open up the patio door and step out onto the fantastic balcony where you can delight in a delicious lunch all whilst enjoying the breath-taking views of the sea and embracing the fresh salty air. Back indoors a lovely ground-floor twin has been decorated with pretty pastel colours and crisp white bedding, as well as featuring a handy walk-in shower cubicle. Venture upstairs to the first floor and discover a gorgeous king-size bedroom and a bright and contemporary bathroom with both a bath and shower over, so that you can choose how to best prepare for the day ahead. When ready to explore your surroundings, be sure to grab your swimming costumes and head down to the soft sandy shores of Bigbury beach or grab your walking boots and set about on a scenic hike along the South West Coast Path. Cross the River Avon over to Bantham or continue along to Hope Cove for the incredible vistas. Explore the iconic Burgh Island with it's art deco styled hotel that has hosted the great and the good since the 1920's. The Pilchard Inn on the island is a pleasant stop gap before boarding the unique sea tractor to return to your holiday home. Spend the day at Woodlands Family Theme Park, just a pleasant drive away, or see the exotic residents of Dartmoor Zoo and Paignton Zoo Environmental Park. The historical port city of Plymouth lies within easy touring distance and is home to many attractions such as The Mayflower Museum, Smeaton's Tower and the 17th century fortress of Royal Citadel, offering a fun-filled day for the whole family to enjoy. With all this to look forward to and so much more, it's no surprise that 2 The Bay makes a superb choice for your next family holiday to Devon.
Challaborough is a quaint and picturesque village, peacefully positioned on the beautiful coast within the South Hams District of Devon. Home to a sugary beach and complemented by a handy convenience store and a well-established pub/restaurant, this village has everything you could possibly need throughout your stay. The gorgeous village of Bigbury-on-Sea sits just a stone's throw away and well-worth the visit, whilst Hope Cove and Salcombe can both be reached within a pleasant drive.

Fantastic view from the balcony. We took our own foldable beach chairs which we used on the balcony. The downstairs shower was better than the upstairs one. The main bedroom was fantastic, very big and plenty of storage space. Kitchen was well equipped with all we needed.

Swim on empty challaborough beach at 9 am every morning. Apartment is equipped with absolutely everything needed. Thank you. A couple of small points⦠the nisa convenience store in Challaborough is very good but didnât seem to be highlighted in the house details. I was unable to refit the key safe on departure so taped it in and informed the caretaker number by VM. And finally it was slightly annoying that the windows only opened one inchâ¦I assume this is a safety requirement. Many kind regards. Tim.

We needed the 1st Aid kit & it needs replenishing & the downstairs WC fan is very loud & wakes others if used during the night. Other than all good.
