Property details

A once-in-a-lifetime stay at an Art Deco icon on a private island in south Devon - includes breakfast, a half-bottle of Champagne in your room on arrival, optional dinner and suite options.
  • Private island living: Cut off twice-daily from Bigbury-on-Sea by the clockwork tides, Burgh Island Hotel is an Art Deco icon that’s remained largely unchanged in its illustrious history because everything works so well. Once a regular haunt for Agatha Christie and Noel Howard, bring your best threads and enjoy revelling in stories recounted by the long-standing staff.

  • Memorable wining and dining: Dining is a laid-back affair at The Nettlefold, which is on-hand with a menu crafted from fresh local produce and stunning views. Start with canapes and cocktails in the Palm Court Lounge, before moving to the ballroom for three-course dinners accompanied by a live band or pianist. There's also the historic Pilchard Inn Pub, which tells tales as old as time, including those about former patrons like renowned smuggler, Tom Crocker.

  • Laid-back luxury: Many of this eco-friendly hotel’s rooms and suites have been named in homage to famous past guests in a nod to the hotel’s lengthy history. Individually designed, each is kitted out in Art Deco styling, with a lack of TVs adding to the bygone era-feel. Add a little more indulgence to your stay with a massage, treatment or facial in the pampering treatment room. 

How to get there

Burgh Island Hotel is located in Bigbury-on-Sea. The nearest train stations are Ivybridge, which is 11 miles away, plus Totnes and Plymouth, which are both 19 miles from the hotel.

Location and what's nearby

Burgh Island Hotel, Bigbury-on-Sea, South Devon TQ7 4BG

You’d love getting stranded here: cut off by the tides on a 10-acre private island cast adrift off the coast of South Devon. Each day the tide rises and retreats, so you’ll be carted across (luggage in tow) by a Land Rover (low tide) or a special elevated sea tractor (high tide). The hotel has beautiful sea views that will tempt you out to enjoy breezy coastal rambles, or you could head over to Bigbury-on-Sea to explore the mainland with the rest of the landlubbers.
