    “I loved Highdown the first time I stayed in 2023 and I still love it.”

    I’d live there if I could! The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and the short walk down the hill to the gorgeous beach at Bigbury Bay and the Venus cafe is well worth the climb back up the hill. Definitely much fitter by the end of the week. The bungalow is a bit dated but it’s welcoming and comfortable. Eating at the table in the sun lounge and looking at the sea in the distance or a sunset over the cliffs is magical. It’s really quiet as it’s at the top of a cul de sac. I am a ...

    I’d live there if I could! The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and the short walk down the hill to the gorgeous beach at Bigbury Bay and the Venus cafe is well worth the climb back up the hill. Definitely much fitter by the end of the week. The bungalow is a bit dated but it’s welcoming and comfortable. Eating at the table in the sun lounge and looking at the sea in the distance or a sunset over the cliffs is magical. It’s really quiet as it’s at the top of a cul de sac. I am a fit 73yo but found the steps and banks up to the front door a bit too steep but that was resolved by walking around to the back door instead. It definitely is not the place for someone with mobility issues. Overall I love Highdown and hope to go back 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.
