“It was absolutely fantastic, Top floor (but no stairs as the car park is on that level) looking over the sea and looking a Burgh Island.”

Also great quality furnishings. Two minutes walk to beach, as you are actually almost on it. The sound of sea and fresh air, not to beaten.

“Wonderful apartment and not just because of the beautiful location.”

Despite the weather we had a very comfortable stay as the apartment is extremely well equipped. If I had one little quibble it was that the wall units are overloaded with crockery and glasses, leaving just the awkward corner unit for the shopping we brought with us for the week (to avoid driving on the narrow lanes) so that was spread over the work tops. We had takeaway fish and chips from the restaurant one evening - what a great asset to the complex. All in all, a very relaxing week! This was our second visit to No. 24 and we are so grateful that the owners allow 2 dogs as it is really difficult to find such a lovely place in a lovely location that does.

- Kath, October 2024
Colin August 2024

“This was our 3rd stay at this lovely apartment from 30th August to 13th September 2024.”

The weather was not great but September is always a gamble for a holiday in this country but the great view of the Island and the sea is still breathtaking and we look forward to returning again. Only one small criticism would be the limited choice on the TV with no APPs like BBC I player , ITV x , Netflix or prime. This will not prevent us from coming back though. Colin and Nicola

David August 2024

“Again we had a wonderful time at no 24 BI.”

The apartment is extremely comfortable and high quality . Particularly liked the balcony and the views . What a fabulous place to chill out and relax . Already booked for next year

- David, August 2024
Sandra July 2024

“A lovely apartment in a fantastic setting.”

We never got tired of watching the tide coming in and out and people and dogs playing on the beautiful beach and the tractor crossing to Burgh island. The weather was great and I even swam in the sea! Our dogs loved the beach too. The restaurant at the resort was good and also the Pilchard Inn on Burgh island. We would love to return.

- Sandra, July 2024
Lynn July 2024

“Great property very well kept complex loved the beach resort.”

Sonja June 2024

“My apartment was perfect in every way.”

I just wish you had an easy to find your telephone number and a real person at the end of it. I wanted to ask a pre payment question & wanted to speak to someone. Why make it so difficult. I am computer literate, but not every is. How would a blind person get hold of you. There are people, of all ages, who, for whatever reason, don't use the Internet.

- Sonja, June 2024
Annette May 2024

“As always a wonderful property.”

Can’t fault it, comfortable, well equipped and a wonderful view in all weathers. With added bonus of small pool and cafe/restaurant. Excellent food quality, Matt, Brian and Mary a huge asset, always a friendly service. Thank you once again for sharing your beautiful property.

- Annette, May 2024
Terence April 2024

“Really lovely apartment with fantastic views, very relaxing and great to have the pool, restaurant and also the lovely welcome pack, thank you so much!”

We have stayed at this apartment twice and had 2 really lovely relaxing weeks with great walks, the dog loves it too, sitting on the balcony if not on the beach! : ) There is a small supermarket shop at the Holiday Park in Challaborough (a short walk away) although the prices are quite expensive as you would expect, being the only food shop in walking distance. The only personal gripes were the new settees, not very comfy if you wanted to 'lounge' around, the en-suite bathroom in the double room is a bit 'tight' (but lovely none the less) the other bathroom definitely has a certain 'aroma' though has been done out beautifully, the double bed is a small double and if you prefer a certain type of pillow then I would suggest you bring your own, as preferences vary ; )

- Terence, April 2024
Heidi March 2024

“Excellent location and fantastic appartment.”

We felt Very much like this was a home from home and enjoyed our stay tremendously. Please note the advisory on the shower not draining as this may cause water damage if it gets worse and from a safetfy view please fix the chairs in the dining room as quite a few are loose and falling apart. By no means did these two thing detract from our lovely stay at Burgh Island Causeway

- Heidi, March 2024

Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback following your stay at 24 Burgh Island. We have spoken to the owners who are currently staying at the property, who have advised they have had no issues with the shower not draining/overflowing, however to ensure future guests have the best holiday experience possible a maintenance man is due to visit to apply a lip across the entrance to the shower which will in effect put a stop to any water overflowing into the bathroom. The chairs have also been looked at and whilst they are not 'falling apart' the seats have been professionally tightened and secured to the chair frames. Despite the points raised we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Peter March 2024

“As commented on by some previous visitors the single beds were not very comfortable and the double bed would have been better as a king size,.”

The shower tended to overflow.

- Peter, March 2024
Carole March 2024

“We had a wonderful time but a few things could be better.”

A bigger bed with a firmer mattress would be appreciated. The bedroom window is locked and we couldn’t find a key. This meant we couldn’t open the window and we always sleep with a window slightly open. The room became stuffy and we didn’t sleep too well. The oven needs cleaning. A shower curtain or screen in the twin bedroom en suite would be helpful. When we arrived we found staining across the bedroom carpet. When we read the visitors book we discovered that the previous occupants had had a problem with an overflowing shower so assume this to be a water stain. We reported it to sykes cottages and they dealt with the problem quickly. Thank you for that and to the owner for refunding us £25. Apart from the issues mentioned above we found the apartment lovely and it is one of the best equipped places we have ever stayed in.

- Carole, March 2024

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We are glad that you had a good time. It does state on the website that the bed is a double bed. The mattress is a relatively new mattress and several people have commented on it being too firm, beds are a matter of preference, so difficult to find one that suits everybody. We have asked our housekeeper to take a look at the oven. We will purchase a shower curtain for the shower in the twin bedroom ensuite and will fit it when we are next at the apartment. We are glad that you enjoyed the apartment. It is in a very special location with amazing views. Property Owner
Frank February 2024

“Entrance door needs attention but woul stay here again as was a great holiday”

- Frank, February 2024

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. The main entrance door to the apartment block is part of the ongoing maintenance schedule for the apartments and is due to be painted soon. Property Owner
Charlotte December 2023

“Wow wow wow!”

!! Everything was amazing! The apartment is incredible, super comfy bed, well stocked kitchen, lovely bath and shower facilities. Even stocked with toiletries! The area is also outstanding! We loved a walk on the beach each day and plenty of places to drive to if you fancy a day out. We will definitely be back. And thank you for the treats on arrival.

- Charlotte, December 2023
Adrian November 2023

“Second year we've stayed here and we're just as besotted with it as we were the first time.”

Excellently equipped and stunning location.

- Adrian, November 2023
Lance November 2023

“The double bed was very uncomfortable so we slept in the other bedroom which had two single beds .”

This was disappointing as the second bedroom was not so nicely furnished.

- Lance, November 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The double bed has a medium/ firm mattress and is only a few years old. We appreciate mattresses are a matter of personal preference and that they won’t always suit everyone. Property Owner
Helen September 2023

“We have stayed in several of the properties at the causeway but this year we have also acquired a dog.”

This was one of the best we have stayed in. Clean and was lovely. The only criticism would be the beds which could be a bit more comfortable and a bigger one in the main bedroom. We all loved it and so did our dog Winnie. Thank you also for the welcome gifts

- Helen, September 2023
Alan September 2023

“The view is excellent.”

The apartment is well equipped and the bathrooms are nice. The cake, wine and pint of milk on arrival were a nice surprise and appreciated. The only downside was the master bedroom. The bed is a double and my husband is 6ft and I'm 5ft8. It was a struggle to sleep well. A king-size bed would fit if chest of drawers and one bedside cabinet removed as plenty of space in the wardrobe for clothes. Otherwise, a lovely apartment.

- Alan, September 2023
Pamela August 2023

“The shower in the en suite of main bedroom drained on to the shower room floor so we only used it once.”

We used shower in the bathroom but this was awkward as there was no shower curtain or shower screen.

- Pamela, August 2023
Colin June 2023

“Arrived 23rd June 2023 and left 6th July 2023.”

Since our first visit to this apartment it has had a makeover and it has a wonderful homely feel with all mod cons and we really did not want to leave after a fortnight there. It was great to sit on the balcony during first week as part of the heatwave, the second week not so hot but still relaxing sitting on the balcony. Where else could you relax like you can here and also went home with a lovely tan that you would find hard to beat even abroad. It was so quiet you hardly knew anyone else was there and this suited us down to the ground. Did very little during the fortnight and did not feel the need to do so in such a lovely appointment, but this was what appealed to us when booking - a completely stress free environment. Our Yorkshire Terrier loved the beach and so did we without having to walk too far and he too appeared to sulk when we had to leave to go home. Felt very safe in the gated complex even after midnight when taking our Yorkie for his last walk before bed around the car parking area. We look forward to returning hopefully next year. The bottle of wine and cake were a lovely touch and not expected. All in all very difficult to fault. Colin.

- Colin, June 2023
Sonja June 2023

“A great all round experience”

- Sonja, June 2023
Annette May 2023

“Lovely apartment, pictures don’t do it justice.”

Perfect for our needs. We have stayed many times in a few of these apartments over the years and they are always top class. Views are always stunning come rain or shine. Small pool was closed, but not the owners fault and I’ve never known it happen before (except covid). Lovely private cafe on site which is perfect for our needs. Matt and Brian are always very helpful with their menu. Booked again for next year already. Big thanks to the owners.

- Annette, May 2023
John May 2023

“The apartment was superb and a credit to the owners with a wonderful view from the balcony.”

There are two parking spaces rather than the one advertised which had I known would have saved me an extra 130 mile drive. Gripes, I understand the swimming pool was out of order during our visit and unless you booked ahead for the café with a very limited evening meal menu you have no chance. given there was only one person doing the cooking and serving this left empty tables unavailable. I feel rather mean with those two gripes because they let down a wonderful apartment in a fantastic position. Would I book again? ABSOLUTLY

- John, May 2023
David April 2023

“Well done to the cleaners , never stayed in such a spotless property before.”

particularly the bathrooms. Overall we had a great time , the apartment had everything we wanted. If I was being super critical the tv was not a smart tv and the apple link which was mentioned needed you to have an apple account , but hey who wants to watch tv when you have such super views. We will return

- David, April 2023
Penny April 2023

“The location was lovely.”

The apartment is well appointed, equipped and spacious. Parking and amenities were spot on. However, the double bed was uncomfortable which meant one of the other single beds had to be used, this too was uncomfortable and too low. The bedding was below the standard expected ie old, musty and unpleasant. The pillows were without support and felt grimy. All of which meant sleeping was an unpleasant experience. We left one day earlly.

- Penny, April 2023
Jason April 2023

“The apartment has good facilities which were appreciated and some nice finishing touches.”

The dishwasher was extremely old and none of the buttons worked so it was permanently set to a wash which we were not sure of. The cupboards were not cleaned properly on arrival and other areas were not cleaned to a professional standard. The worst part was the bed in the main bedroom - this was so uncomfortable we had to leave after 5 nights ( booked for 7) as we could not face another night with no sleep- a massive disappointment as we came away extremely tired and stressed which was supposed to be a relaxing holiday.

- Jason, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the issues you raise, which are in stark contrast to many other positive reviews we’ve received for the property. As you’ll see to date, comments on the properties cleanliness have been complimentary. We’ve spoken to the owner who disputes your statement on cleanliness and feel these comments are unfair and unjustified. Beds are personal preference and we are sorry you found them uncomfortable, again not something that has been mentioned previously. The owner takes their letting of number 24 very seriously and they pride themselves on giving good holiday experiences – this is reflected in the feedback we have received and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward.

Catherine February 2023

“We are all over 6 toot tall .”

We loved the flat and the facilities particularly the cooking provision. The design choices fitted in really well with the art deco setting. I liked the low lights in the bathroom which were on a movement sensor. Everything was clean and fresh. I would have liked a couple of brighter lights in the main living room but the lighting was very pretty. We would have liked bigger beds because of our height. We have booked another flat in the complex for next year with King size beds, but that’s the only reason we didn’t book the same flat for next year.

- Catherine, February 2023
Adrian November 2022

“Beautiful apartment with an even lovelier view.”

I don't think we've ever stayed in a better equipped or furnished holiday let than this one - they even had dog bowls and throwy ball things as well as coffee, olive oil, salt and pepper (all usually absent) and many other things we've come to accept in the past we need to buy ourselves. A delicious cake and bottle of wine on arrival was even more welcome and the two dogs loved their morning beach walkies (runs, chases, eating seaweed, etc). We particularly liked the enclosed car park so we could walk the bogs in the dark evenings in 'private' and feel safe. The view was second to none, especially when you consider that the Burgh Island Hotel guests only got to look back at us whereas we had a 100% better view. If they'd have us we'd definitely love to stay again. We left saying how great it would be to spend the Christmas break there but sadly that'll have to wait for another year or so.

- Adrian, November 2022
Denise November 2022

“Well equipped and comfortable.”

We love the location in the complex - best view and easy to get bags from the car park. The bed linen is very tired - we have stayed at least twice before at this apartment and the only thing letting it down is duvet covers with fastenings missing (accept that only looks scruffy) and also rather rough and “pilly”. Otherwise, we love it and appreciate being able to take our dog.

- Denise, November 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We will be replacing the bedding in the new year, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Scott October 2022

“The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable holiday we particularly appreciated the coffee maker and Apple TV.”

There are plenty of opportunities for windy walks from the door returning to read on the balcony and enjoy the wonderful view. We had a lovely stay, thank you.

- Scott, October 2022
Sylvia October 2022

“Extremely well furnished and decorated apartment .”

Both bathrooms were amazing. Only thing in shower water runs over the edge of shower floor and that makes floor very wet. The only other thing was there wasn’t a smart tv and did think there should be one. Other than that couldn’t praise and recommend the apartment more.

- Sylvia, October 2022
Jennifer October 2022

“Our 4th time staying at 24 Burgh Island.”

It is our favourite place to completely chill and enjoy the view

- Jennifer, October 2022
Robin September 2022

“Excellent apartment - we’ve stayed there before more than once.”

We think kitchen facilities could be better: eg kitchen scales and egg cups. One or two casserole dishes? An extra hour in the morning to clear out on the day of departure- especially when it involves elderly people, children or pets - would be really helpful.

- Robin, September 2022
Julia September 2022

“Loved the property and the Decor.”

Lots of lovely touches like the complimentary toiletries and coffee machine, also the welcome bottle of wine and cake. Just a couple of things that could improve it. Really needs a knife block. Had to rummage around the utensil drawer looking for one and there were lots of sharp knives just loose with the other utensils. The other thing was the bed linen felt really rough and bobbly. Not sure what composition it was but don’t think it was cotton. Other than that the property was great and really enjoyed our stay.

- Julia, September 2022
Sonja June 2022

“Lovely apartment, elegant interiors but very comfortable & dog friendly, especially the wood floors v the sandy paws.”

It would be good to have had cushions for the balcony chairs. The housekeeping is superb. Well done all, I’ll be back.

- Sonja, June 2022
Josephine June 2022

“View and location spectacular.”

Feel as if we have been in a bubble of sea, sand and sky for a week! Apartment clean, comfortable (although beds are small) and well equipped kitchen. Shower wonderful but not taken with the decor in the bathroom or the colour scheme in the living room.

- Josephine, June 2022

Maureen March 2022

“A lovely, well appointed property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Very clean, cosy and warm, although for most of the week we were blessed with beautiful weather for the time of year. Loved the shower room ! Really hope to be back before too long. Thank you

- Maureen, March 2022

“No mattress protector on the double bed.”

The bed linen was not nice and crisp it was really dated. Will also send a photograph of the apartment when we arrived.

C J July 2021

“Very helpful on-site employees - caretaker and cleaning services”

- C J, July 2021
Martin June 2021

“Apartment was large, comfortable and well furnished although perhaps not to everyones taste!”

Superb views over the causeway, beach and Burgh Island. Two bedrooms, one quite small, both have en-suite bathrooms which was very nice. Kitchen was very well appointed and had everything that you could possibly need. Overall the complex was very good with designated car parking spaces. The swimming pool was a little small but a nice change from the cold sea! For those not familiar with the area, the road off the main road is very narrow in places which, is an experience. Really enjoyed our stay, we would happily stay again.

- Martin, June 2021
Christine May 2021

“Sykes are quite the most shambolic un-customer friendly company I have ever dealt with.”

Apt 24 is very tired and needs updating. I feel sorry for the owners because the are paying for cleaning and maintenance and its simply not happening

- Christine, May 2021

Thank you for completing your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our service. We have spoken with the owner regarding the points you raised who did not understand the issues you encountered as no reports were made to her during your stay, had she been notified of any issues she would have been more than happy to try and rectify them for you. You will see from all previous feedback that the owner prides herself in providing a spotless property with consistent good reviews. Despite the points raised we are pleased to see you have booked this apartment again for the next 2 years and look forward to welcoming you back to number 24. Property Owner
Terence May 2021

“The fantastic view!”

being able to sit outside on the balcony and the beautiful furnishings inside the apartment, they show that the owners have lovingly furnished the apartment, such a joy to stay here and would book to go back again this year if there was any vacancies, but as with all lovely places like this they get booked up very quickly! Also having the pool to ourselves via a booking system was superb plus the little cafe serving all manner of yummy goodies. This is a real gem of a place, all credit to the owners and the management company.

- Terence, May 2021
Consuelo October 2020

“We had a nice time albeit dreadful weather and facilities being closed (gymn and pool) and the restaurant closed on Wednesday due to the November lockdown.”

The closure of facilities was compensated with 20% discount which it was reasonable but nothing was offered for the restaurant closure or having to leave earlier due to lockdown. Instead we were advised we could stay and finish the holidays. Location is very good, views outstanding, comfort good, would have loved to reschedule the remaining days to add to a further week in the future if given the option.

- Consuelo, October 2020
Mark September 2020

“It was unfortunate that the pool and gym were closed as together with the pet friendly listing this was a major consideration for choosing the site.”

Luckily the weather compensated and other exercise could be taken. The site is very well appointed even if the car park allocations are somewhat bizarre, so much so that despite the uncertainty with the current health crisis we have rebooked for April next year.

- Mark, September 2020
Nicola September 2020

“Property was the high quality we expected with outstanding view over the beach and Birgh Island.”

Rooms were spacious with every appliance you have at home. Security was reassuring with gated parking area and Door entry systems To the block of apartments. Lovely quiet atmosphere and got really lucky with the weather considering we had two weeks towards the end of September. Not ideal for anyone wanting nightlife as Property was miles from anywhere with narrow country lanes to drive through but we loved it and will return in the future. Colin and Nicola Hill.

- Nicola, September 2020
Gary August 2020

“I was very pleased to see that you pro-actively gave a 20% discount due to the COVID restrictions on gym and pool.”

Your approach was very welcome especially that we didn’t have to ask for a discount, you gave it pro-actively. This shows a high regard to customer care and Created huge goodwill with us. We will be booking with helpful holidays again soon !

- Gary, August 2020
Rachel July 2020

“Lovely apartment in the most idyllic location.”

The apartment is well equipped. Lots of space and lovely and quiet - hope to go again in the future.

Otherwise great location, well equipped, no problems.

G November 2019

“We arrived to find a lovely cake and milk waiting for our use.”

.. a very thoughtful gesture. The Apartment is equipped with everything you would need for a lovely holiday. Very spacious lounge and kitchen. Lots of useful items in cupboards including some beach items in an outside balcony storage area. Good quality towels and bedding and nicely furnished. The Apartment was nice and warm when we arrived, there is an absolutely beautiful view of the sea and Burgh Island from the balcony which can be seen from inside the Apartment as well. There were 4 of us and each of us found it really difficult to leave!! (4 grown adults almost crying and saying "Do we have to go?!!" ) We would definitely recommend to anyone this would be a lovely place to stay. Look forward to coming back sometime when that can be arranged.

- G, November 2019
Cheryl October 2019

“Hi team. We have just retuned from our break at you’re lovely apartment.”

Although we both had stinking colds and the fact that it was windy and raining most of the week, there was no place we would rather of been. Very relaxing and stunning views. Thank you Cheryl and Grant.

- Cheryl, October 2019
Georgiana May 2019

“We have spent five weeks in this apartment since October 2018 to May 2019 and have had five or six previous visits, small jobs that required attention have not been repaired and I will detail them so that your inspectors can check when they next visit.”

( a feedback from them to me would be very welcome). Bedroom 1.Curtains very thin and badly frayed in places,bed linen of extremely poor quality,we were left two bath towels badly frayed at the edges having requested bath sheets.Wardrobe clutter with owners belongings and doors unable to close properly very little hanging space.Bedside lights have to be turned on and off at the main switch as the cord switch was broken. Main bathroom shower fitting came off each time of using and the smell of drains in there for the whole week was obnoxious......which also filtered through to the rest of the rooms. KItchen area very dated and utensils were of poor quality,nothing was left for cleaning toilets basins shower etc.,the kitchen sink cupboard was full of junk I.e old rubber gloves paper bags etc. SItting and dining alright but well dated. Bacony furniture small wooden tables and chairs nothing to lounge on,to enjoy the most marvelous view possible. Cleaning cupboards were full of junk I.e. Three squeegy mops that didn't work no sweeping brush( that was left broken on the balcony) poor clothes airier and ironing board. 2nd bedroom.. A total disgrace wardrobe full of blankets high chair a bag of something? that prevented the door being able to be used,the beds were old and we certainly could not have invited guests to join us for the week.....curtains and linen again very mediocre. 2nd bathroom passable but very antiquated but there again the smell of drains You may wonder why we return? We love the position that it holds and also the fact that it takes dogs albeit their rate is a premium when they don't use any facilities.You will see from your records that we have booked again for next May but certainly things need to improve before that date.

- Georgiana, May 2019

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are pleased that our maintenance team were able to clear the drain. We will of course check that any clutter is removed from the property and that any worn linen or towels are replaced. We are delighted that so many of our previous guests have left very kind comments after their happy holidays in our apartment, and that they have chosen to return many times. Property Owner
Peter May 2019

“Really good week in comfortable apartment,lovely location and nice to have a pool and cafe onsite.”

Never tire of the view from balcony,but more comfortable chairs would be a bonus

- Peter, May 2019
Kath April 2019

“We had a wonderful week here with our dogs.”

The view from the lounge is absolutely perfect so even when the weather wasn't good (we arrived at the same time as Storm Hannah) the view still was. It was great to be able to watch the tide and that gave us maximum time on the beach with the dogs. It took us a couple of days to find out how to get down to the facilities at the Complex and they are absolutely great. The staff there are extremely obliging. Another change we've found this year is that people are welcomed at the Pilchard as well as a result of the island being under new ownership.

- Kath, April 2019
Pauline April 2019

“By far the best accommodation was have stayed in!”

Stunning location!

Jim February 2019

“Fantastic break Lovely apartment with everything you need Location and view ...”

Fantastic break Lovely apartment with everything you need Location and view cannot be better The club facilities and on site cafe are a real bonus The cafe team made you feel very welcome Only small gripe/suggestion would be a shoe rack near front door for sandy/dirty shoes

- Jim, February 2019
Lorna June 2018

“This was our fifth visit to BIC Apt.”

24 which says it all really! We love it there. The Apt is comfortable and homely and we always feel welcome. It has everything one needs on holiday however, a sun umbrella for when it is sunny all day would make the balcony more usable. The Apt has a land line telephone with an honesty box, which a very important extra as the mobile signal is almost non existent in B-o-S. The location is stunning in winter or summer. A place to refresh ones soul. The BICClub is welcoming and this year in particular we felt that it had taken on a more professional feel without losing its intimacy. The menu is good and food cooked and presented extremely well. The gym and pool are excellent. Certainly a place to unwind and come home refreshed.

- Lorna, June 2018
Cynthia June 2018

“Our third time to Apt 24.”

It is always lovely to go there. And the newly refurbished balcony area is excellent. A great improvement. The views are just amazing. A restorative experience.

- Cynthia, June 2018
Christine May 2018

“This apartment is very tired.”

Lots of things need updating. The lack of satellites TV is also unusual at the Causeway. I won’t use this apartment again.

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 and 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 and 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.

No 24 is on the top floor, with stunning sea/beach views looking right across at the island, a comfortable, child-friendly apartment.

Open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker) with TV/DVD, Apple TV and sliding doors to balcony (table/chairs, great for sundowners).

Two bedrooms - double (with TV and en suite bathroom (suite, shower over bath), and twin with en suite shower-room (suite, bidet).

Bigbury-on-Sea: village (seasonal café) with south Devon's biggest sandy beaches (The Venus Café, Takeaway and Surf School, seasonal beach shop), stretching to Burgh Island (The Pilchard pub; famous art deco hotel - you can walk to it at low tide, go by long-legged tractor at high; setting of Agatha Christie novels).

Good windsurfing; fine cliffs for walking and sea-bird watching.

About the location

BIGBURY-ON-SEA

Modbury 6 miles; Plymouth 12 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.

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.
The Leisure Club includes the indoor swimming pool and gym and is also open daily from 10 am, booking is not required. The sauna is not currently operational.Please check The Club's closing time as this may vary depending on the time of year.
