Well appointed apartment with stunning views of the bay, comfortable bed and balcony that catches the sun for most of the day. Some lovely walks around but car is essential for reaching good food places. Owners very responsive and helpful.

Great place for a stay on the coast of South Devon.

The apartment is very clean and quiet and equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The view is breathtaking and you can't get enough. Bigbury on Sea is a perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The booking and the contact with the landlords were very easy and friendly.

Summer Holiday 2020

This was the perfect stay for a summer holiday. With excellent amenities and the view could not have been better. Steps down to the beach were great for an afternoon in the sea. It’s location was a great base for exploring local Seaside Towns.

Fantastic!!

This is our second stay at this property and it hopefully won’t be our last! Breath taking views, luxury accommodation, everything very clean and comfortable, especially the bed. Well equipped, quiet, and very relaxing. Just sitting in the living room looking out at the ever-changing tides made the worries from home seem far away. We had a wonderful time and would return tomorrow if we could!!

Beautiful property in a beautiful location.

This property has the most amazing views. Sitting on the balcony you could be anywhere. The property is well equipped and beautifully presented. It’s a short walk to the beach which was ideal for us as a beaching loving family. We used the steps a couple of times but normally walk on the beach path as it was easier with lots of equipment. There is a beach cafe on the beach which we highly recommend visiting. We would definitely recommend this property and would love to go back.

Gorgeous views!

Had a lovely week in this first floor flat. The views from the living room and double bedroom are utterly gorgeous and change with the tides. The flat is great with very comfy beds! We used the steps down to the beach regularly, which is a great workout. Good walks on the doorstep and also took the ferry over to Bantham for a walk on that part of the coastal path. Bring supplies as the closest restaurants are a drive. Can totally recommend the Oyster Shack for unbelievably good seafood and lovely staff.

Lovely Apartment with amazing view

We stayed here with 4 people for a week, one bedroom has the most amazing view of the sea and we spent so much time enjoying the view from the living room too. Well equipped kitchen in almost everything (we did need to buy sponge, washing detergent and shower gel/shampoo). Amazing walks nearby and great capability for kite and wind surfing nearby. Lovely walks along the beach and swimming capabilities just through the private access to the sea.

Our stay in Bigbury on sea

Wow what a view, lovely clean modern apartment to stay in. Lovely and warm. All the amenities required. Only slight quibble if you are unfit like me, parking area a little way from door on steep hill, then a set of stairs, almost had a coronary getting our gear upstairs ( no fault of the owners, just beware, but worth it for the prize.

About the host

Hosted by Gillian & Gary Willcocks

We have spent a number of years trying to find somewhere special to escape to in the South Hams in Devon and finally stumbled upon this magnificent apartment in the last 13 years. My husband and I live and work away from the area. We know South Devon very well, as my husband is from the area and we have family and good friends who live nearby.

Why they chose this property

We have been on holiday here and have always thought that there was always something a “little bit special” about Bigbury on Sea with its stunning location, its friendly people, excellent local fresh seafood and organic produce. We had the opportunity to buy the apartment in 2012 with its breathtaking sea views and have already spent many happy days there. We have always enjoyed being by the sea and hope you will too, so if you are looking for somewhere to rest, relax, enjoy walks on the beach or go bird watching on the coastal paths, this is the place to be. We are now looking to rent our apartment out to guests. We invite you to stay at our apartment in Bigbury on Sea and we are sure that once you have stayed here you will want to come back year after year.

What makes this property unique

Bigbury on Sea is ideal for couples or families holidaying by the sea with body boarding, surfing, sea kayaking, wind, kite and foil surfing, stand up paddle boarding, cold water swimming, crabbing, fishing, golfing, walking, bird watching and simply relaxing all the year around. The views are breathtaking!
