I genuinely can’t imagine a more perfect view anywhere else. It was a joy to get up in the morning and look out of the window over the sea. The roads to access local towns were extremely narrow, which I personally found quite stressful. We were happiest however just staying put. The takeaway service from the cafe downstairs was excellent. The Pilchard was a 2 minute walk. It was peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. One very minor gripe- the rip in the sofa arm should really be sorted out. But that certainly won’t stop us booking again. We love it. And we are people who don’t make a habit of going back to the same place twice.

“An excellent apartment in a wonderful position, the facilities in the apartment were as expected but we were a little disappointed that the pool and gym were not available.”

“Beautiful flat in great location.”

Slightly disappointed that the pool was closed despite other pools being opened, however this is not the owners fault. Would highly recommend

“It was a fabulous appartment in a wonderful location.”

The views were stunning, even on a stormy day!

Mrs Selfe February 2020

“We loved the apartment.”

Couldn’t fault it at all. Highly recommend it. My only niggle with these apartments now is the pool temperature. It was freezing when we were there again. We did say something but were told nothing could be done! It’s such a shame. It’s a very uncomfortable swim with young children. The kids don’t care but us parents are freezing.

- Mrs Selfe, February 2020

Thank you for your feedback on your recent holiday. We’re so glad to hear that you liked the accommodation. We have spoken with the block management, who have full control on the maintenance of the swimming pool. They have advised that the temperature is maintained at 28 degrees which is the standard temperature for commercial pools; but we are sorry that you found this to be too cold. Thank you again for taking the time to give your comments and we hope to welcome you back to the area soon. Owner relations

“Property was lovely and the staff in the reception area were very helpful and friendly.”

“A lovely apartment in a superb location”

“Very good accommodation.”

My wife had an accident with the shower and she injured her foot badly. This did have an impact on our holiday as she was unable to walk properly for the rest of her stay. The Reception at Burgh Island Causeway were very helpful and quick to respond. The shower was repaired the next day.

“For a high end property it was not well equipped in the kitchen.”

For example there was only one kitchen knife (blunt) and no carving knife, only a bread knife. The apartment would benefit from a information booklet and working out how appliances worked was left to rummaging through a drawer and using, for example, the previous owner's instructions on how the curtains worked in the sitting room. One of them, didn't.

“Minor hiccup with sliding door security, fixed promptly by friendly maintenance manager.”

Would be helpful to have the electric oven instruction book.

“Wonderful apartment.”

Needs sharp knives, larger pans, washing up liquid and bin liners

“Good, yes, but it could be excellent.”

The location overlooking Burgh Island is superb - difficult to imagine a better view - so no problem there. However, the apartment is "tired" - still functional and comfortable but not in the excellent category. For example, the patio doors do not lock (handle and lock broken); the dishwasher has a part missing that controls the dispensing of the washing chemicals; items in the fridge get covered in condensation (door seal failure?); the wi-fi stops working for a half-day or day at a time (long-standing known problem); the flooring needs attention. But I don't want to be overly negative. The accommodation is spacious, the kitchen well equipped, the beds comfortable, the bathrooms are good, dining area and sitting room areas are well furnished. The reception staff are friendly and helpful and when I complained about the second wi-fi failure they arranged for the maintenance staff to give me the wi-fi code of a neighbouring apartment. I'm hoping a refurbishment will fix the sort of problems I mention above. It needs to be extensive and go beyond only replacing the patio door which was mentioned in another feedback.

- PeterL,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review in respect of 25 Burgh Island Causeway, in Bigbury-On-Sea. We have passed on your comments to the owners who are grateful for your feedback. They have advised that the entire site is currently closed for refurbishment (which will include addressing the issues mentioned together with installing new glass fronted balconies) and will be open again in January 2017. We do hope that despite the issues raised you had an enjoyable time exploring the South Hams and its beautiful coastline. Owner relations

“Apartment needs attention.”

Marks on walls still there from last year. Dripping tap in Kitchen area, again like it last year. Patio doors don't lock. We were told last May all apartment doors were being renewed in September 2015. Given the same story this year. Wooden flooring/ threshold needs repairing on the way into the bathroom, master bedroom. Like it last year, even worse now. Beautiful location but for the price being charged, especially in the high season it could be so much better.

Many thanks for taking the time to complete your review in respect of 25 Burgh Island Causeway, Bigbury On Sea. The owners were grateful for your feedback and would like to let you know that, from mid September onwards, the property will undergo a full programme of refurbishment to include, new patio doors and balcony together with complete redecoration. All other issues mentioned have been passed to the maintenance team for their immediate attention. In conclusion, we really appreciate your feedback and do hope you had an enjoyable stay, despite the issues raised. We look forward to welcoming you back to the South Hams again very soon.

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: Note: Leisure facilities open from 10am every day (except christmas day). Note: The gym or sauna does not accept children under 14 years of age.

All guests receive free membership to the newly refurbished Burgh Island Causeway Leisure Club. Facilities include indoor kidney-shaped swimming pool, spa pool, well equipped gymnasium (treadmill, steps, cycles, rower etc) and sauna.

No mobile signal at Burgh Island Causeway or in most of the village. There is, however, a land-line telephone at the property.
