This property also welcomes up to two well behaved dogs (strictly downstairs only and not in bedrooms). Wavelet benefits from high sped Starlink connection, great for any work that needs to be done or keeping the family happy! This fantastic destination cannot be beaten for a family friendly beachside holiday in the most comfortable of properties, right by the sea. A holiday complex across the lane provides a pub and beach shop close by, and there is an excellent independent fish and chip shop. A short walk along the South West Coastal Path leads to the neighbouring coastal village of Bigbury on Sea also with its own fabulous sandy beaches, surfing and water sports facilities and the iconic Burgh Island with it’s 1920’s hotel, tales of smugglers and pirates. With dramatic and stunning scenery, set in the midst of the South Hams this beachside property provides great accommodation at any time of year.
Please note: In low season a reduced rental is available for smaller parties of up to 4 guests utilising two bedrooms. The super king room can be made up as a twin upon request before arrival. NB: Challaborough Beach permits Dogs from 30th September to 1st May, however the South West Coastal Path is immediately adjacent and leads to many beautiful walks and indeed the all-year round dog-friendly beach at Sedgewell (the left hand side of Bigbury-on-Sea "main beach").
Wavelet offers heaps of outside space – there is a large, enclosed, gated, outside space with lawn, driveway and paved terrace furnished with garden table and chairs, charcoal barbecue. The garden has been enclosed to provide a secure area for dogs, but of course should be tested first in case of any determined escape artists.
Outside shower provided, and a washing line. There is a convenient outside hose for washing off sandy children and dogs after a day on the beach. There is plenty of place for storing boards, bikes and beach gear.
If you’re dreaming of a proper family beach holiday, Challaborough fits the bill. Set on the shores of Bigbury Bay, this seaside village is fronted by a popular sandy beach. With ample space for sandcastles and beach games, plenty of rockpools, lifeguard cover and beachside facilities, it’s perfect for young families, while also offering some of the best surfing conditions on Devon’s south coast.
And if one sandy shore just isn’t enough, one of the South Hams’ most loved beaches lies just around the headland, taking less than 10-minutes to walk to via the coast path. Bigbury on Sea is home to a surf school for watersport hire and tuition, two cafes, and a beach shop, but it’s main attraction is beautiful Burgh Island – home to an Art Deco hotel and the writing place of Agatha Christie, which you can reach via a sandy causeway at low tide, or – our favourite – a sea tractor at high water.
No beach break is complete without fish and chips, ice creams and sunset drinks watching the waves, and your holiday in Challaborough will be no different thanks to its beachside bar, fish and chip takeaway and convenience store – all part of Challaborough’s caravan park which sits behind the beach.
For eating out, there’s a great old smugglers’ pub in Ringmore, only a mile away, which serves really good food, while the nearby towns of Modbury and Kingsbridge offer plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes, as well as delis, butchers and supermarkets.
From Challaborough you can join the South West Coast Path and enjoy beautiful coastal walks, discovering hidden beaches and sheltered coves, including Ayrmer Cove and Westcombe beach, where you can stop for a refreshing sea swim and picnic.
