The Beacon

About this property

The Beacon is a beautiful reverse level barn conversion situated on the main approach to Bigbury-on-Sea village. Tucked away in a small private group of barns, its elevated location provides stunning views of Bantham and Burgh Island. From the comfort of this bright, attractive property, lazy days can be spent on the beach, a mecca for wind and kite surfers, canoeists or sand castle enthusiasts! A tidal causeway crosses to the island, with its famous Art Deco Hotel and the renowned Pilchard Inn, originally a favourite haunt for smugglers.

This much-loved holiday home with stylish open plan living space on the first floor, makes the most of the spectacular views and stunning expanses of sandy beach within 5 minutes’ walk (longer coming back!) Not only perfect in the summer for a beach holiday, it’s also ideal for those who enjoy a refreshing walk along the stunning South-West coastal path, an exhilarating stroll along the beach or a trip to one of many fine pubs and restaurants in the area in the quieter seasons. The Beacon is a fantastic destination and a warm welcome awaits you.
