Escape to the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
with any of this collection of Burgh Island holiday cottages. Once
a haven for pilgrims, smugglers and the rich and famous of 1930s
London, Burgh Island has seen its fair share of history and is now
an iconic landmark. Friends, families and couples are welcomed all
year round to explore the renowned coastline, spend hours along the
sandy beach and discover the island's historic secrets.
Why a Burgh Island Holiday Cottage?
Located directly opposite Bigbury Beach, Burgh Island is
accessible by foot at low tide or via the unique sea tractor at
high tide. Burgh Island apartments boast pleasant sea views, with a
leisure club offering an indoor pool, spa and gym. Walkers can
venture along the popular South West Coast Path, weaving through a
variety of flora and fauna for outstanding vistas. Alternatively,
set up base on the sandy beach for a lazy day in the sun or paddle
board over the sparkling sea. The island itself once housed a
monastery and a wander around will lead you to the remains of a
chapel. Hear local ghost stories at the 14th century
Pilchard Inn over a crisp pint, whilst the infamous Art
Deco-inspired Burgh Island Hotel, which inspired the work of Agatha
Christie, is open to visitors for evening meals and Sunday lunch.
