About this property

Stunning clifftop Farmhouse in Bigbury-on-Sea, cosy with spectacular sea views

Mount Folly Farm House is set on the cliff top commanding spectacular views.
Bigbury-on-Sea is a small coastal village on Devon's South Coast. It has large sandy beaches, rock pools and is safe for swimming. It is also a great place for walking, along the beach, across the farm, over to Burgh Island at low tide or around the River Avon.
It has all the local services that you could want with a beach cafe, a pub, a beach shop, village stores and even a golf club!
But you can just stay at home and enjoy the breathtaking views from the garden.
The accommodation is half of the large Edwardian farmhouse, is completely self contained, with its own garden area and several parking spaces.
Upstairs:
The main bedroom has 1 king size and 1 single bed and a wash basin.
There is another double room with a wash basin. The third bedroom has bunk beds.
Also Family Bathroom (bath with shower over).
Downstairs openplan:
Modern Fitted Kitchen with dining table - (Microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, toaster, electric cooker)
Lounge -(Freeview digital TV, sofas, wood burning stove, window seats looking out to sea)
Cloakroom, large hallway and separate toilet.

There are so many great restaurants and pubs nearby, The Journey's End, The Dolphin, The Oyster Shack, The Ring Feeder, The Pilchard Inn on Burgh Island, The Modbury Inn. In addition there are many more summer takeaways also.

So much to do locally, great watersport and surf lesson / board & wetsuit hire from Discovery Surf on our nearest beach. You can wander over to the famous Art Deco Burgh Island at low tide and walk to the top for the best views of the coastline. And if the tide is in you can catch the Sand Tractor for an exciting ride back to the mainland. There's super family fun at Pennywell Farm visitor centre and thrilling rides at Woodlands Theme Park, near Dartmouth. Guided wild swimming/ swooshing on the river or around Burgh Island. SUP options on the river Avon or in Kingsbridge estuary or at Bigbury beach. Dartmoor Zological Park ( featured in the film, "We bought a zoo!"). River cruise the Kingsbridge estuary down to the popular seaside town of Salcombe, visit the bijoux Salcombe boutiques and avoid having to find somewhere to park ! Sea fishing trips from Salcombe or Plymouth. There are also many attractions at Plymouth, the historic Barbican, Smeaton's Tower on the Hoe, the Royal William Yard, Mount Edgecombe and The National Marine Aquarium. There's a miniature ride on train at Kingsbridge which is a delight for all ages, and the shops at Kingsbridge are great for groceries or having a mooch for gifts & clothing. And golf, we are a couple of minutes away from Bigbury Golf Club and just around the coast there is Thurlestone Golf Club, so two outstanding 18 hole courses, with breath taking sea views on your doorstep.

Idyllic weekend stay - we will be back!
This stay exceeded all expectation. Firstly, communication with Jane and Cathy was brilliant and they were so welcoming even prior to our stay. Upon arrival, Jane was there to greet us and was absolutely charming in person, making us feel right at home in an instant. The first thing that immediately grabs you is the view - stunning. The house itself then continues to charm, feeling at once cozy yet spacious. The place was immaculate, with a well open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, whereby the kitchen was extremely well equipped with modern appliances. The bedrooms were lovely; well furnished, comfy beds and clean lines. In short, we did not want to leave!

Great location with amazing views
Warm, comfortable and spacious rooms and a well-equipped kitchen, this made the perfect base for our surfing trip. Outdoor hose and line for washing and drying kit was great and it was lambing time so that was a delight to see! John & Jane are just lovely, welcoming and friendly they made sure we had everything we needed and lovely to have a chat with. Can't wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Helen Buick

Host profile image
Helen and husband Peter are on site and will look after you and your stay at Mount Folly Farm House. They are former teachers now running a pop up summer pizza business nearby, Bigbury Bay pizzas. We love living here near the sea, no matter what the season, the views are incredible and the sea and the light are ever changing. We love meeting our guests; having the time to chat and welcoming them is our privilege.

Why they chose this property

Bigbury-on-Sea is just beautiful, safe, sandy beaches, spectacular coastline walks. Countryside pace of life. Golf, fishing, cycling and water-sports. There is something for everyone here. There are busy, family friendly parts of the beach with waves and water sports and the RNLI lifeguards in the main season. But there are also secluded, tranquil stretches of beach, with rockpools, shell hunting and stone skimming. These quieter beaches are our favourites.

What makes this property unique

The views change every hour as the tide goes in and out. You can open the window, sit in bed and listen to the sea. All year round this place is magical. For winter stays, when the storms blow you can watch the powerful waves from the cosy log fire in the lounge.
