Wow...
Bigbury-on-Sea is beautiful. Highdown is situated at the top of a very steep hill. Beautiful views to Burgh Island, which is worth a walk over, even just to have a drink at the Pilchard Inn. Little cafe/takeaway down on the beach car park which is pretty basic but lovely food. There is a food store within walking distance on a caravan park along with Fryer Tucks fish and chips (also very nice) but it is along quite a narrow cliff path. WiFi was very hit and miss but kind of expected that to be honest. Make sure you visit Pickwick Inn (pub) which is so lovely. Great food, lovely atmosphere and very dog friendly. Beware of the narrow lanes in the area, cars go pretty fast round them and although there are pull in places it does get a bit scary at times. Highview itself is a lovely bungalow. Pretty dated but we quite liked that. Could have been a bit cleaner but very cosy and warm. Loved sitting in the little dining area looking out to the sea even when it was raining. The garden is lovely too, wraps around the whole bungalow and is very safe for dogs. On two occasions we did have a chap come right through the garden to the shed at the back apparently to collect laundry? If heâd of knocked and said he was about then we would have been happier but to suddenly see a man walking around outside was a bit unnerving. The patio area again is lovely but not for small children. Thereâs quite a drop down a grass bank at the front of it. All in all we went away as a family of four (2 grown up children) after having an illness for most of the year to have some quality time together and a well earned rest and thatâs exactly what we did. Would we go back there again? Yes definitely

Perfect little cottage for a couple and a dog.
Despite being in the heart of the village it is really quiet and private with a delightful good sized and very dog secure shingled courtyard garden right next to the church yard. In terms of location, it couldn't be better, with a small general shop and an excellent butcher just across the road. A few hundred yards away is a really dog friendly pub with large garden and an excellent menu. We ate there several times during the week. The walk to Par sands beach is a pleasant 15-20 min stroll down a hill. The beach itself is a doggy paradise. We found a nice loop walk which takes about 45 mins. The accomodation has everything you need and is cosy, comfy and very clean with well proportioned and equipped modern kitchen and bathroom. The upstairs is quirky, with a low ceiling bedroom area and a separate spacious dressing room/cot room. A stair gate was provided which was useful to keep our two small dogs downstairs. We loved sliding into the large and comfortable bed at night but anyone with physical disabilities may find it a challenge with the low pitched roof and open steps. The owner Mark was a pleasure to deal with and answered any queries promptly by text. There is no off road parking but we had no problem parking directly opposite and there was always a space on our return from days out. In short, a real gem of a cottage and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. (Please note there is no sea view from the cottage despite the icon in the description......a minor point).

The cottage was freezing when we arrived so we spent the first night in coats.
The welcome pack was nice and included ground coffee but no cafetiere or anything to make it with. I rang the number but they were no help. I did find a cocktail shaker with a dead fly in it though. The TV batteries were dead and no spares in the man drawer. There are CDs but no CD player, videos but no video player. There are candles dotted around but the instruction booklet said candles weren't allowed. The kitchen could have done with scissors and tongs. The downstairs shower room never got warm enough to use. Some of the curtains could have done with being a bit shorter so they would fit behind the radiators better. The cold water feed in the upstairs bathroom was worse than the hot water feed. There was a freezer but it was in an outside shed so probably wouldn't work in cold weather. The drive is constructed such that you scrape the bottom of the car on entering. I had to park in an unlit road. To get recycling instructions you had to type in a long URL to get to the county council information. I didn't bother. The cottage itself was fabulous. Uneven floors, small doors, cosy rooms; all quaint features you'd expect from a 17th century building. It is barely overlooked. The garden is huge. It's nice to see they've not sold it off. There's a lookout table and chairs at the highest point, but you have to avoid the dog pooh on the steps.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Highdown - the location is great , Bigbury on sea ,Burgh island & Challaborough are only a short walk away.
We took our small dog ( Westie ) the gardens are beautiful & well maintained and almost enclosed ( she could get through the gaps in the gate across the drive ) . The bungalow is very homely , we particularly loved sitting in the front sun porch watching the world ( well sea! ) go by , fantastic views over the Devon coastline . We did feel that the bungalow would be too small for anymore than 2 or 3 Adults or a family with small children . Although we needed for nothing -everything had been considered & was incredibly clean , we do feel that the property needed an overall update & some money spending throughout to make your time spent at Highdown more comfortable . We were happy with the price we paid but we do think £2000+ in the high season is unreasonable for this property. In summary , a lovely little spot & we will definitely look to book again :)

The cottage is in a good area which has shops, a butchers shop and a great pub which we ate at a few times during our weeks stay.
There is also a 15 minute walk to Par for another pub. The cottage is small but what you would expect for one bedroom. Getting into bed at night was a challenge as the ceiling slopes, therefore you have to get in and out from the bottom as there is no space to stand up from the sides of the bed. Once we mastered the challenge, we found the bed was comfortable and we could sit up to read. I wouldnât recommend for a tall person or anyone with mobility issues though, as there are three wooden ladder like steps to climb beforehand and the dressing room/bedroom, which is separate also has a sloping ceiling which is difficult to stand up in, (Iâm 5â 2â) We had a good week, weather wise and made the most of it by walking a few coastal paths visiting various villages nearby. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back to the area.
