  This apartment is in a beautiful location overlooking Burgh Island to the South and out to sea to the west.

  We easily made contact with the housekeeper regarding arrival time and secure parking and key access to the property was very simple and straight forward. No 19 parking space and access stairs are at the far end of the car park and the front door to the property is on a lower level than the car park, down the flight of stairs. The property is in a good position, whatever the weather, to watch the tide wash in across the causeway from both sides of Burgh island as the tide goes in and out. The property has a generous size balcony with table and chairs to sit out on the warmer days. We weren’t lucky with the weather being November but the apartment is very spacious, it’s warm, comfortable, clean and well equipped, so we didn’t feel the need to go out every day. Our planned food supply and the well stocked shop down the road, meant we only ate out one lunch time, plus a cream tea at Bigbury Golf Club!!!!! We can recommend the Journeys End pub at Ringmoor for a nice lunch which we had after a walk down to Ayrmer Cove. There’s a National Trust car park (Free to Members) at the start of the walk and a steep but firm footpath down to the Cove, well worth the walk. Another nice walk is on the coastal path to Challaborough, starts from the end of the car park, a few metres from No19 parking space. More good views on this walk. There’s a small gym, swimming pool and restaurant on site and a friendly social community. We asked about opening times and were kept up to date through the week of what the daily opening times were. We were offered eat-in or take away meals from the on-site restaurant if we ordered in advance. One day we walked over to Burgh Island, it started raining and whilst we were sheltering under the porch of the Pilchard the barman opened up early for us and another couple and invited us in for a coffee. By the time the rain stopped and we walked round the island the tide was in so we took the £2 water taxi back, only takes a few minutes but a bit of novelty fun. This is a lovely well maintained apartment on a good small complex. Oh, and we enjoyed the tea, milk, wine and cake in the welcome pack!!!! thanks.”

  Such a beautiful property, with panoramic sea views.

  it’s a real shame we were looking out over a messy pool area. Cover not on properly & blowing about all week in the windy weather. Hose pipes, and cleaning equipment left out. Otherwise a fabulous stay, no control over the weather! But thankfully an extremely comfortable property, very clean & well equipped. It felt very welcoming and homely, with tasteful decoration throughout. On the downside…. The apartment was reached via a small country lane, which was a challenging route, dealing with oncoming cars. There are some passing places, but reversing, pulling over, and passing tested driving skills. There maybe another route, although once there, we did not venture out via roads again, until going home. The electrics lights in the apartment, at times had a mind of there own, flashing on and off, perhaps due to dimmers using the wrong type of energy efficient bulbs maybe? There is a delightful little cafe near the beach, but otherwise no pubs, restaurants, or shops nearby, so make sure you have the supplies needed. Around a 20 minute walk into Hope Cove ( mostly flat SW coastal path) which was perfect for lunch, but dinner would mean walking back in the dark at this time of year. (November) We seemed to be the only guests staying as very late in the season, so the owners of other apartments were taking the opportunity to improve their properties, with men workmen, kitchen fitters, and gardeners as some work being done to maintain the hedges etc. in the height of the season, anyone around the pool area would be able to see into this apartment, I’m not sure how comfortable I would have been with that. On the whole we had a wonderful stay, a much needed break away.

  We have just stayed at 7 Ocean’s Edge three times now and would happily go again.

  However, we did have initial problems as the duvets in the bedrooms are duck feathers, and one of us has an allergy to feathers. We rang Sykes and after some resistance we were sent, admittedly after their hours, a synthetic duvet. Unfortunately it was for a double bed, not a king size, so we had to ask Sykes again. We were given a flat refusal for a king size synthetic duvet and only after complaining were we sent a large flat sheet. This, combined with the smaller duvet and a throw cover enabled us to sleep relatively comfortably. During our stay we were a bit concerned with the cleanliness in one or two places. One bed cover had dirty marks on it and a toilet brush was badly soiled with excrement. We did our best to keep the apartment clean, but had been left virtually nothing in the way of cleaning fluids. It is also mentionable that the staircase up to the first floor had large amounts of sandy soil on it throughout our stay. We can forward photos if needed. This all sounds as though we did not enjoy our stay, which is not the case. The apartment is beautifully situated and well equipped. We just think that you should be aware of these things.

  We have stayed at 7 Oceans Edge before.

  Extremely clean, comfortable and welcoming. We did have a little plumbing problem, which was resolved with no fuss with the help of coast & country staff and the property owner. Small observation…..Having the sofa facing the window instead of sitting with back against the widow would certainly allow guests to better enjoy that beautiful view without having to strain your neck to look. I’m sure the furniture could be rearranged as such. There is a lovely outdoor pool, I’m sure the apartment owners pay a hefty service charges for maintenance of the grounds etc. it’s a real shame the pool had not been cleaned, ( looked like for some time). I appreciate weather, near to beach etc, such things as dead flies etc cannot be helped, but lots of sludge/ sand in the pool, the cleanliness of pool lets the quality of stay down. We have not let this put us off, we have already booked again for another stay. A usable pool would have been the icing on the cake though!

  We have stayed at this property a few times and it never disappoints.

  It’s a lovely spacious apartment set in a block with other similar apartments. It’s on the first floor ( there is a lift) and has stunning views out to sea and along the coast. There is a communal outdoor swimming pool which we can’t comment on as we stayed in November and of course it was closed. I would imagine in the summer it’s very popular. It’s a well appointed apartment with everything you need. When we arrived it was a little chilly. The radiators can be adjusted via an app on the phone provided. This was easy to do and it was soon cosy. We had a small issue when we were there but this soon amicably resolved. Getting to the apartment does involve some very narrow Devon lanes. If you are cautious you are fine but be prepared for reversing etc. All in all a lovely stay and we will certainly return in the future.
