The driveway takes you up past green pastures and around to the detached farmhouse. As you step through the front door you immediately feel the grandeur of this property with its sweeping staircase and exquisite decor, it will fill you with excited anticipation to see more. A modern style kitchen which holds everything you need to conjure up culinary delights awaits, the large central island is a perfect gathering place for a morning coffee while breakfast is cooking or a glass of bubbles while dinner is simmering. Two separate games rooms will keep any children within your party occupied while the outside space with the fantastic addition of a large hot tub gives you a small slice of heaven in Devon. A formal dining room, an office/workspace area, boot/coat storage and gorgeous sun room all come together to give this property a truly luxurious feeling throughout.

Gardens surround the house. Doors opening directly out from the sun room on the side of the house onto a large sheltered patio area with a BBQ and large hot tub.
The small village of Bigbury is a great spot for a holiday. It’s just a couple of miles from the beach and gives easy access to the scenic South Hams and the wild beauty of Dartmoor. It has a Post Office and shop, and keen golfers will be pleased at its proximity to the Bigbury Golf Club and its stunning views right across Bigbury Bay. The rest of the family will be thrilled by the superb sandy beach at nearby Bigbury on Sea – a favourite among families, surfers and dog walkers. If you’re tempted to take to the waves, you can book a lesson with the Discovery Surf School.
Nearby in St Anne's Chapel is a great family and dog-friendly pub, the 16th century Pickwick Inn, serving excellent locally sourced food and drinks with an Italian themed restaurant. Alternatively, you can sample some local seafood at the family-friendly Oyster Shack, on the back roads between Bigbury and Aveton Gifford.
Those looking to refuel on the beach will enjoy the open air Venus Café in Bigbury on Sea. Or for something a bit different, the 14th century Pilchard Inn, perched off shore on Burgh Island, is a firm favourite among visitors looking to have a tipple in a traditional drinking tavern. The island's famous hotel makes for an exquisite destination for anyone looking for a special meal out.
At low tide, cross the sand causeway to Burgh Island and climb to the top for a fantastic view of the bay, and if the tide is in, don’t panic! You can climb aboard the sea tractor for a ride unlike any other!
