Bigbury on Sea holiday cottages

A stay in one of our Bigbury on Sea holiday cottages is perfect for those looking to explore the South Hams district of South Devon. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this idyllic coastal village is famous for its vast sandy beach, clear waters, superb water sports, and delightful coastal views. From sea-view cottages to dog-friendly accommodation, Bigbury on Sea is a much-loved retreat for family holidays, romantic getaways, outdoors enthusiasts, history buffs and foodies alike. Wander to the golden sands of Bigbury Beach to bathe in its shallow waters or sign up at one of the local surf schools to ride the waves. On calmer days, hop on a paddleboard or kayak to potter along the coastline. 

This magical stretch of beach separates the former sleepy fishing village of Bigbury on Sea from Burgh Island. Wander across at low tide or hop on the sea tractor at high tide to explore the Art Deco hotel, a former favourite of Agatha Christie, or have a bite to eat in the 700-year-old inn. Alternatively, lace up your walking boots and set off along the South West Coast Path in either direction to enjoy dramatic coastal views. You can reach the pretty sailing town of Salcombe on foot, 11 miles away, to sample its delicious seafood and shellfish. Or head further afield to find more dining options at Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Plymouth, all within 22 miles.
