About this property

Smart, light and comfy with a modern feel, this is brilliant accommodation for enjoying a holiday right on the coast.

Outside, as well as your excellent balcony, you have use of a shared lawn, all neat and well manicured. Wander down to the beach to walk on the sand and across to Burgh Island or perhaps a dip in the waves, maybe with a bodyboard or a surfboard which can be hired from the surf school. There is a simple little pub on the island, The Pilchard, where you can enjoy a quiet drink and contemplate the scenery which inspired Agatha Christie in some of her mysteries. For walkers, the South West Coast Path is beyond compare with amazing scenery and little coves en route.
Kingsbridge and Salcombe will provide plenty of opportunities for retail therapy, as well as excellent eateries. 3 Tarifa is a peaceful and civilised place to enjoy the sea and countryside on the doorstep.
Beautiful Bigbury-on-Sea is ideal for family holidays. Dusted with sand and lapped by shallow waters, the beach offers safe fun for children and adults alike.

Can't improve at all. Beautiful place. As we say everything was very good indeed with the apartment.

The view is outstanding, overlooking the outstanding Bigbury-on-sea beach & the bay beyond. Excellently appointed, with modern kitchen, bathroom & shower room and all "mod cons" required for a comfortable stay, including a washer/dryer & dishwasher. The private patio is delightful for dining/having a relaxing drink overlooking the sea views & equipped with sunloungers for relaxing times. Please note that there are numerous narrow roads in the surrounding area that require negotiation with care.
