Fantastic location with a spectacular views.
Flat is well appointed with a breath taking terrace looking over the estuary towards Bentham.
Highly recommended.
The property has a breathtaking view and along with the sound of the waves it is an amazing place to relax and unwind.
We found the facilities excellent and of good quality. The nearby restaurants are very good and the walks are fun, especially to Burgh Island. We would definitely stay again. ,especially t Island
Amazing location, lovely spacious terrace and living space with fantastic views. Unfortunately, the master bedroom blinds were faulty which made it difficult to sleep once the sun was up.
Fantastic week - what a place, beaches lovely, people mega friendly, accommodation lovely especially the views, the Venus Cafe was superb AND we even had good weather. Burgh Island was a treat the Pilchard Inn did a stunning meal and the sea tractor was something everyone should do. I loved it all and so did the dog :-)
The view is spectacular. The terrace means you can sit in the sunshine and watch the tides come and go throughout the day.
The apartment is very clean and perfectly equipped with everything you could need.
We hope to be back very soon!
Comfortable rooms & beds. Well equipped kitchen. Good parking available.
Would have been useful to have umbrella or something to get some shade on terrace. May be useful to indicate in online details how many steps there were down to beach !
The view without doubt is the obvious selling point.
With this being an apartment you need to be aware that if all apartments occupied privacy is affected. We were lucky in that it was empty bar us. There are some elements which need tlc ie sun loungers were in need of replacement and some bulbs need replacing.throughout the property.
The area is lovely for beach and walks, and very relaxing. Nice walk along coastal path to Challaborough with the reward of fish and chips at Fryer Tucks. Overall a great break away and we are now very relaxed.
1Avon Quillet was a superb apartment. Beautifully clean and extremely comfortable. A perfect position overlooking Bantham, also the open sea. You can either go down the 190 steps to an almost private beach or walk down a gentle path to a choice of 3 other beaches! After a leisurely lunch at The Pilchard Inn it’s wonderful to escape back to the peace of the apartment and sit on the spacious balcony with a glass of wine - just watching the surfers riding the waves while the sun goes down.
We only had one little problem while we were there - one of the blinds became stuck and the owner immediately sent someone round to sort it out. An umbrella for the table would be a great addition.
We cannot recommend this apartment enough. We aim to return!
