About this property

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.

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.

    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!!

  • Karen

    The location is spectacular and the owner very pleasant and easy to communicate with although everything is very well explained in the information provided. We had a fabulous holiday at 4 Burgh Island Causeway. I would recommend it all day long
