    “This was my 5th visit to number 5 and the first since the pandemic.”

    As always from walking in until leaving it was a holiday that was comfortable, relaxing and everything needed to recoup. The apartment has such a wonderful vista and on the Sunday we experienced an amazing storm, my favourite time to be by the sea. There are a couple of things in the apartment that need attention. The fridge freezer isn’t very clean and the freezer is quite iced up. The electric socket closet to the patio door left hand side blew when I plugged in my laptop. The apartment ...

    As always from walking in until leaving it was a holiday that was comfortable, relaxing and everything needed to recoup. The apartment has such a wonderful vista and on the Sunday we experienced an amazing storm, my favourite time to be by the sea. There are a couple of things in the apartment that need attention. The fridge freezer isn’t very clean and the freezer is quite iced up. The electric socket closet to the patio door left hand side blew when I plugged in my laptop. The apartment wasn’t as clean as it used to be and the cupboards in the kitchen needed tidying before I could find equipment that I needed (I always cook). Please note these are not complaints merely observations, in my opinion the cleaning is not as good as it used to be but it is still one of my favourite self catering holiday apartments and destination.

    Thank you for the feedback . The housekeeper has dealt with the fridge freezerand the flat is scheduled for its deep clean in december .Meanwhile cleaning will be reviewed The electrical socket has been subject to a range of electrical tests and found to be sound . The cause may be in another link not in the flat . i hope you will return and enjoy another holiday. Property Owner

The property

Just 20 yards from Bigbury-on-Sea's big and splendid sandy beach, looking to Burgh Island Causeway, are 29 stunning, high quality apartments, of which we let a number.

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.

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.

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.

Arrival after 4pm.

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 5 Ground floor: big, partly covered terrace (table/chairs, sun loungers, electric barbecue, parasol), superb views to the south and west.

Inside, stylish with bamboo floors, white walls.

Open-plan living/dining/kitchen (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker) with glazed doors to terrace, a king size sofa bed, TV/DVD, Sky, PlayStation 3, iPod dock, Bluetooth speaker, rocking horse.

Two bedrooms - double (5' bed) with en suite bathroom (suite, power-shower over bath), and twin with en suite power-shower-room (suite).

Buckets/spades, beach balls, kites provided.

An exceptionally good apartment. 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. Please check The Club's closing time as this may vary depending on the time of year.
