Buzzard's OakAveton GiffordSelf catering holiday cottageSouth Devon |
Buzzard's Oak, a barn conversion annex is located in a quiet valley, surrounded by soft Devon countryside and close to the coast and the wonderful beaches of Bigbury Bay. Here a sand bar enables you to walk to Burgh Island at low water where you can enjoy a tipple at The Pilchard Inn, an old smugglers haunt. But don't worry, if you spend too long here and get cut off by the tide, the Bigbury sea tractor will transport you safely back to the mainland. The nearby Avon estuary divides Bigbury on Sea and Bantham beaches, both very popular with surfers and lovers of water sports (lifeguards on duty in high season) and a seasonal passenger ferry links the two. The property has a shared garden backing onto open countryside which provides the ideal spot from where to appreciate nature and the views. The South West Coastal Path is easily accessible and provides some stunning walks along this beautiful coastline. For lovers of the ancient game, Bigbury Golf Course is a short drive away and the market town of Kingsbridge and the popular boating Mecca of Salcombe are both well worth visiting.
