Firstly, I would just like to say that the kitchenwares, crockery and cutlery were of a high standard as are the furnishings and decor. As a result it felt like the owners respect and value the people who pay to spend time in their lovely apartment. With the beautiful location all in all this meant that our holiday did not include even one niggle about the property. Thank you.

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.

Thanks for your review, the apartment has an allocated parking space next to the apartment block & visitors parking space which is even nearer that can be used for unpacking your car. It is a first floor apartment so there is a standard set of stairs leading to the first floor. We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday & the sea views.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Gillian & Gary Willcocks

Host profile image
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!
