We had a lovely stay at Spyglass and would definitely recommend it. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped with great amenities. The views were the real standout, absolutely incredible looking out over the water and something we never got tired of. Everything was well prepared for our stay, with fresh, clean linen and plenty of towels provided, which made things very easy and comfortable. As me…

A beautiful private house with a lovely garden for dog and children. Surrounded by high hedges you wouldn’t have known there were houses around at all. Many butterflies on the hedge in the back garden and we even had a pheasant arrive on the front lawn one day. Parking for at least 3 cars and a little path to The Village Inn, local shop/Post Office or down to the beach. The house has all you need for a multi-generat…

Great views. Well equipped. Comfy beds. Downside it’s on 4 floors with spiral stairs. Only 1 bedroom en-suite so the others tend to share 1 bathroom not ideal with 8 adults in the house. Water pressure not great. Needs black out curtains as rooms light at 5. Long trek to the kitchen from the road. Very narrow to get to the property. But we did have a good time.

We had a wonderful few days at the Boathouse – the location is second to none! To listen to the waves crash into the sea wall was the best! The pub was just right and the food was fantastic. All in all we had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend in a unique property with huge appeal. I hope to return soon.

We had an amazing stay at Stargazy . We stayed for three nights and the property was exactly as described and pictured. It’s a stunning location, moments away from Bigbury beach, and the Airbnb was stunning. It had beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The outdoor barbecue space was particularly wonderful as was the living room with its panoramic glass sliding doors facing out to …
