General

From Bigbury-on-Sea's big and splendid sandy beach, and looking at Burgh Island over the low-tide sandy causeway, is this truly excellent and very greatly appreciated development of 29 high quality apartments, and, within the building, a very good private Leisure Club. The views over the sea to the south and west, and at low tide of a huge 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).

The apartments have those sensational views, are double-glazed, marvellously light, with large living/dining/fitted kitchens, glazed doors to balconies or terraces. They are privately owned and individually furnished: the kitchens are mainly Neff, some Shaker, some smarter. All have breakfast bars unless otherwise stated.

Smallish bedrooms at the back (no views) with good quality en suite, internal, tiled, bath or shower-rooms with heated towel rails. Electric heating, either underfloor or night store and convector fires. Most have easy access (short walk from the car and between 5 and 9 steps down to the lift). Parking for one car at the back of each property and some extra space for guests. Arrival after 4pm.

The Leisure Club, open from 10am every day (open until 1pm on Christmas Day and from 12pm to 6pm on New Year’s Day), has a fine indoor kidney-shaped swimming pool (40’ x 20’ x 4’6"), spa pool, extensive, well-equipped gym (treadmill, steps, cycles, Concept II Rower, and other instruments of torture) and sauna (no children under 14 in gym or sauna).

The smart bar provides coffee/drinks through the day and light meals, cream teas and a children’s menu from 10am to 7pm, served either in the Club or for you to take to your apartment. Comfy lounging area (sofas) and outside terrace facing the sea. There are changing rooms, a shower and disabled loo.

First floor: very good-sized balcony (furniture): superb views over beach to Burgh Island and out to sea on either side. Living/dining/fitted kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, freezer, TV/DVD, CD player) with light oak Danish furniture and glazed doors to balcony. Washer-drier in hall cupboard. Two bedrooms - double (5'6" bed) with en suite bathroom (suite plus bath-shower), and twin with en suite shower-room (suite). No babies under 2.

Apartment was clean, well equipped and in a beautiful location. The complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates from the owners was very much appreciated. We will be returning as soon as possible. - J. Lewis on 7th May 2011
