Mid-Week Break in Challaborough Bay
Lovely property in close proximity to the beach at Challaborough Bay and a short walk to Bigbury. The property was as described and overlooks the Challaborough Bay holiday park. It's great for surfing and visiting Bigbury/Burgh Island. Salcombe is a short drive and there are many National Trust places to visit. Note that the drive down to the property is a typical road to the coast (e.g. steep and narrow).

Beautifully appointed home with everything you need
We stayed at The Loft for the last week of the school holidays. The communication prior with the owners was very good and the check in process and directions were good. The house has 2 ground floor bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as a very well appointed kitchen diner, including walking up liquid , dishwasher tablets and laundry detergent. Everything was beautiful with lots of attention to detail. Upstairs is a lovely lounge and balcony, there is a TV and a cupboard full of board games and another full of DVDs. It was our first time visiting Devon and the only drawback is the access roads to the beaches, including Challaborough. They are often single track with passing places. This made for some stressful driving experiences! Fortunately you have access to Challaborough beach at the end of the road or a 10-15 minute walk along the coastal path to Bigbury and Burgh Island beaches, which became our preferred one, as we ditched the car after a few days. Overall we cannot fault the house and the owners were very kind, and if you’re a confident driver then the location shouldn’t trouble you either.

Amazing break
Just returned from 5 nights at The Loft. Brilliant location, fabulous accommodation. Less than 5 mins from the beach. Property exactly as described. Extremely clean and tidy. Owners really friendly and nice touch with the discount at the beach shop just round the bay. Lovely upstairs sitting area. Great fish and chips just off the beach. Would love to visit again.

Amazing location
We have just returned from the most amazing week. The location of the house to the beach made the holiday, it is literally minutes. We spent the week on the beach as had beautiful weather. We took the SUP to the beach daily, the weather meant we had calm waters. Russel and Amanda were fantastic hosts.

A perfect retreat
The Loft is beautifully decorated, with everything you'll need for your stay. My teenage daughter was very happy with the high end mirror in the bathroom. It was clean and tidy. There are plenty of games and books to read. Fully equipped kitchen, not what everyone needs for a break away but I was able to wash my youngest daughters t-shirt (favourite t-shirt) so she could wear it everyday. The balcony was protected from the elements and was a comfy place to sit and relax. Lots of lovely walks and places to eat. Thank you

Great place to stay very close to the beach so easy to pop in and out if weather isn’t great. We had mixed weather so ment we could just go to beach when the sun came out. Nice property with all the things you require for a great stay. If you do go you must go eat at the journeys end inn it’s a great pub with very good food.

Well furnished, comfortable, private holiday home just 85 yards from the beach and stunning coast line. It's quiet too although there's a 'pub' and shop just round the corner with a further lovely, foody pub just 20 mins walk away.

Great Location
We have just stayed for a week at The Loft. For us the location was perfect - we were footsteps from the beach and swam in the sea everyday. the beach is a nice size and wasnt overcrowded even in the heatwave. and the sea was friendly enough for everyone to have a daily swim. Yes you need a car if the weather is not great but there are fantastic walks all within walking distance. The hosts were extremely welcoming and made us all feel very relaxed. thank you
