Overcombe

Bigbury-on-Sea, DevonSleeps: 10Bedrooms: 5Bathrooms: 5

Home > Our Properties > Overcombe
Savour spectacular sea views and incredible sunsets over a sweeping expanse of the South Devon coastline.
  • Uninterrupted ocean views
  • Five en-suite bedrooms
  • Separate games room
  • Wraparound terrace
  • Accessible layout
  • Above the beach

Commanding the best views over Bigbury-on-Sea, Bantham and Burgh Island, Overcombe is an incredibly popular holiday home in the South Hams. It’s a fantastic base for visiting the beautiful towns of Salcombe, Dartmouth, Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, as well as exploring the spectacular surrounding beaches. 

With a sweeping decking and terrace wrapping around most of the property, Overcombe is an awe-inspiring retreat. Set across one floor, it’s excellent for all generations of the family, and makes an unforgettable back drop for reunions and celebrations. 

There are five beautiful bedrooms with en-suite wet rooms, which each look out across either the sprawling coastline or rolling countryside. Bedrooms one and two open straight onto the expansive terrace, so guests can wake early, step outside and savour their morning cup of tea with a view across the ocean.

Finished to the highest specification, Overcombe is equipped with the latest audio-visual technology, including a SONOS music system in the main living areas. An entertaining hideaway for rainy days, the separate games room is stocked with a pool table, football table and exercise bike with a TV screen. 

The open plan kitchen and dining area features plate glass on three sides. The perfect spot for hosting dinner parties, the sensational panoramic view really steals the show. And when the weather takes a turn and storms batter the coastline, curl up beside the wood burner in the TV room and listen to the sound of the rain outside. 

Nearby, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to walks, activities and sight-seeing. The path over to Hope Cove takes you past championship golf courses and the dog-friendly sands of South Milton and Thurlestone, while the riverside route weaves past Bigbury, Aveton Gifford and South Efford Marsh Nature Reserve.

Our favourite features

Right at the edge of the wraparound terrace is a circular seating area; surrounded by an expanse of ocean, it’s the best place to watch the sunset with a drink in hand.

More about theGround Floor

Open Plan Kitchen, Dining and Living Area

The open plan living area is the pinnacle of the property. Surrounded by jaw-dropping vistas, find yourself immersed in the views across the ocean and valleys. The entire space can be opened up by using the soft-sliding doors leading onto the decking, with SONOS speakers throughout. 

Kitchen

Sleek white gloss units complement the walls of glass in the kitchen, which is well-equipped with all Neff appliances: two ovens, a grill, double fridge-freezer with ice maker, dishwasher and induction hob, as well as a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine. A stunning yet practical space for hosting dinner parties, you’ll love the open and sociable feel. 

Please note: guests with pacemakers should avoid using the induction hob as this can interfere with the device. 

Dining and Living Area

There are just a couple of small steps leading from the kitchen into the dining area. An elegant glass dining table seats up to ten guests. Gather together as the sun sets each evening and tuck into hearty feasts you’ll always remember. After dinner, relax on the enormous L-shaped corner sofa and enjoy a coffee from the Nespresso coffee machine in front of the far-reaching views. 

TV Room

The cosy and welcoming TV room is a great place to curl up beside the wood burner and enjoy family films on the enormous 60 inch Sharp TV, complete with full Sky HD, Blu-Ray player and PlayStation 4. You can also access the sweeping terrace and decking through the three sliding doors. 
 

Master Bedroom with En-suite 

A sumptuous super king size bed is bathed in estuary views from the bay window. With a spacious en-suite and wet-room style rainfall shower, this bedroom also enjoys direct access onto the terrace. 

Bedroom Two with En-suite

Bedroom Two also features lovely views over the Avon Estuary and out across Bantham. A luxurious king size bed is positioned adjacent to the sliding patio doors, which leads onto the terrace. On clear nights, watch shooting stars light up the sky as the balmy sea breeze fills the room. 

Bedroom Three with En-suite

A bright and airy twin bedroom with tranquil views across the rolling countryside, this room is complete with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite wet room. 

Bedroom Four with En-suite

Bedroom four is another spacious king size room with country views and a stylish wet room-style en-suite. Large built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage. 

Bedroom Five with En-suite

Bedroom five benefits from a sumptuous zip and link bed, providing the flexible option to have this room as a super king or twins. The large en-suite has a rainfall shower over a deep bathtub – perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring the coast path. There is one step down into this en-suite. 

Utility Room

The utility provides all the essentials you need, including a Neff washing machine and tumble dryer.

Beaches and watersports

The prestigious Blue Flag beach of Bigbury-on-Sea is perfect for families. Joined by a causeway to the iconic Burgh Island, the chance to cross the beach on the world’s only sea tractor is not to be missed. Other beautiful sandy beaches in the area include Bantham, Thurlestone, South Milton and the pretty Hope Cove, while decent swells at the nearby Challabrough and Mothercombe make both perfect for surfing.

Outdoor pursuits

Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are several gorgeous walks surrounding Bigbury-on-Sea. Follow the coast path along the Avon Estuary towards Aveton Gifford before crossing the bridge and returning towards Bantham or venture a little further out to Blackdown Rings. Pick up the golf clubs and visit the immaculate courses at Bigbury, Thurlestone or Dartmouth. Alternatively, take a day trip to Start Bay and experience the biggest and most accessible fishing beach in South Devon.

Food and drink

Take a step back in time with the famous art deco Burgh Island Hotel, hosting black tie dinners every evening. For exceptional seafood, head to The Oyster Shack and relax on the terrace with a refreshing drink. The Pilchard Inn and The Journey’s End Inn both offer a great spot for a pint of local ale, while a little further afield in Dartmouth sits the wonderful Seahorse Restaurant, owned by Mitch Tonks. For a light lunch, head to Venus Café on Bigbury beach for a much needed energy boost in between exploring South Devon's waters.

Time for pampering

For a day of rest and relaxation, The Voyage Spa at The Thurlestone Hotel in Kingsbridge is a must visit. One of the finest spas in South Devon, it offers sweeping sea views and a great range of health and beauty treatments, alongside an indoor pool, steam room and sauna. If a day trip is on the cards, head to Dartmouth or Salcombe and be tempted by treatments at the fantastic The Dartmouth and Salcombe Harbour spas by the water. Whatever you choose, you're sure to leave feeling replenished and renewed.

Activities for children

When the kids have tired from endless days on the beach, jump in the car and head to Dartmoor Zoo, Woodlands Adventure Park or the River Dart Country Park – where zip wires, assault courses and watersports await. Animal lovers will enjoy a day out at Totnes Rare Breeds Farm, while Pennywell Farm promises fun for the whole family, just over half an hour’s drive away. Venture slightly further afield for a unique day out at the Mystery Treasure Trail in Kingsbridge, promising bundles of fun come rain or shine.

Overcombe is in a stunning location overlooking the sea, the estuary and Burgh Island. It's a beautiful house with so much space inside and out, we will definitely be back. It's also great to have the bonus of a games room for rainy days too.

The Dodson Family, Northampton - October 2023

Overcombe is a fabulous house. It was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. Very happy to return and recommend.

The King Family, Tonbridge | Trustpilot - June 2023

Where do we start? We were a group of nine, with an age range of 3 to 80. The accommodation was first class, the views and light were magnificent. In addition, the managing agents went over and above to sort out a very minor issue which could have waited. Hope to book again.

The Westlake Party, Christchurch | Trustpilot - May 2023

We had a fantastic stay in this incredible house overlooking Bigbury, Burgh Island and Bantham. It has views to die for and the house has really made the most of the views from every angle. The bedrooms were really lovely, the lounge and main kitchen were also stunning. The terrace and wraparound balcony were incredible too. We loved it, and had great walks across the beach, we didn't want to leave! It was just as well we did leave as the amazing welcome hamper had delicious scones, jam and clotted cream included and we developed a lovely new hobby of eating a cream tea after dinner. Perfect Stays are such lovely people too, always welcoming and happy to help with anything you need. It was a really lovely experience, we really hope to come back to Overcombe as we, and our dogs, really loved it.

The McCarthy Family, Reading | Trustpilot - November 2022

Three generations with three grandchildren under three and dog. The views from house are unreal, the weather not so great though. The separate wing for bedrooms worked well for us too. Plenty of crockery and cutlery, a great TV and also plenty of parking.

The Moseley Family, Woking | Trustpilot - September 2022

Wow, we've recently stayed at Overcombe in Bigbury on Sea and we think it's the best place we've ever stayed! We're a little bit reluctant to provide this review as we'd like to keep it a secret.

As soon as we walked through the door we could tell it was going to be a special place. It's a wonderfully comfortable place to spend time away with friends and family with superb bedrooms and a huge, fantastic sitting room with incredible views over to Bantham. The most amazing part of this house is at the other end to the bedrooms where you'll walk into the most amazing room, a kitchen, living, diner which is superb and provides the most awesome views of Burgh Island, the beaches, the sea and much much more. To top it off there's a fantastic wrap around deck and fantastic garden too, providing many sun loungers and different sitting out areas where you can enjoy the stunning views. Thank you so much to the owner for letting this property out, it's incredible and top marks to Perfect Stays, the gardeners, cleaners and every else responsible for this property, it's awesome! Happy happy holidays!

The Martin Family, Ripley | Google - June 2022

Stunning house and a fabulous week celebrating a very special birthday - my wife's 60th! We only travelled from Plymouth but our family and friends joined us from all over the South of England. Could not have been better. Fun and games, walks on the beach, great family meals. Special birthday meal at the Beachouse, in South Milton Sands (try not to miss it!). 

The Trevarthen Family, Plymouth | Guestbook - March 2022

Wonderful service from Perfect Stays, from booking through to check out! The staff were really helpful and friendly. The house in Bigbury, Overcombe, was stunning and the views were fantastic. The whole family had a wonderful time. We didn't want to leave, we'll definitely be booking again.

The Melillo Family, Worcester | Trustpilot - February 2022

We stayed at Overcombe 12th - 19th November and on arrival we were already  wanting to book for next year. Fabulous house with stunning views and we were  lucky with exceptional mild weather. The house was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. 

The Jennings Party, Gloucestershire | Trustpilot - November 2021

We had a lovely stay here at Overcombe, the views are breath-taking, and we all enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a green tea or two! The house is immaculate and has a lovely, homely vibe to it. We recommend Kingsbridge for lovely independent cafés, bakeries and shops and also walking up to Burgh Island.

The Aitken Family, Hertfordshire| Guestbook - October 2021

Overcombe is a beautiful property with really stunning views. All 10 of us had very well appointed bedrooms with comfortable beds. The open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area is a great place to eat, relax, play games and generally enjoy and the Snug is a cosy place to watch TV. The location is high above the beaches so you need to be fit to visit them on foot but, that said, it is a wonderful area for walking and water sports. Our week was over far too quickly, helped along by two delicious evening meals prepared by Nina, who is probably the best chef we have known. All in all a superb venue for a family holiday.

The Daykin Family, Eastbourne | Trustpilot - September 2021

Another fabulous week in our favourite place. Wish we could stay for a month! Thank you for the special memories Overcombe.

The Colls Family, London | Guestbook - July 2021

Wonderful accomodation. Every comfort. Despite the weather and the dreaded covid restrictions we have all had a wonderfully relaxing break, watching the tides coming in and out on these lovely beaches. 

The King Party, Dorchester | Guestbook - July 2021

Another fabulous stay at the amazing house and location. Our sixth and wedding anniversary year. The views never fail to impress and inspire. Many thanks. 

The Burnett Family, Chester | Guestbook - July 2021

This was our second stay in this fabulous house with its stunning views and glorious location. Despite the somewhat inclement weather and the covid restrictions we have had a wonderful week spending quality time with my 89 year old father who has hardly stepped outside his front door for over a year. It has done us all the world of good and it will be a holiday we will always treasure. We can't wait to come back next year!

The Smith Party, Hertfordshire | Guestbook - July 2021

Thank you for a brilliant week at Overcombe. Amazing views, some lovely weather and great memories made. The dogs have loved the whole week running on the beach. We will definitely be back!

The Allan Family, Yorkshire | Guestbook - May 2021

Thank you Overcombe for creating such magical memories for our family. What an absolute gem of a find you were. Our highlights included: walks down to the beach, coastal walks, exploring Burgh Island, pints in the Pilchard Inn, sea swimming, trip into Modbury, sea kayaking and the most sensational sunrises and sunsets. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. 

The Allen Party, Leicestershire | Guestbook - May 2021

What can I say? We have never stayed in such a beautifully designed house with such magnificent views. A wonderful place to celebrate a 70th and a first birthday. We've hardly ventured out as nowhere else compared with the views and the quiet - just sheep and the sea. The weather has been incredibly kind. Would definitely love to return.

The Phillips Family, London - March 2021

Thank you for the most amazing time at Overcombe. The house and view are truly incredible. We have loved our time here on our family holiday and cannot wait to return - it's one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed.

The Bale Family, Chard - March 2021

An amazing stay in a stunning location with accommodation that outdid everyone's expectations. Beautiful location with so many walks from the front door. Thanks for a wonderful venue for a special 40th birthday. We couldn't have asked for more.

The Lewis Family, Cardiff - March 2021

Wow! What a great property, outstanding views, great location - perfect for long walks with our furry friend. We varied in ages from 24-81 and everyone enjoyed their stay, lovely to all be together for a 50th birthday celebration in one place. We ventured to The Pilchard Inn and The Oyster Shack - what a fab place. Thank you Overcombe.

The Jones Family, Radstock - March 2021

We've spent the last few years' holidays at a beautiful house in France, but decided to stay in the UK this year. Overcombe is a beauty and the views unmatched. We won't be going back to France now we've found this wonderful place. Within four hours of arriving, we already booked in for two weeks again next year. Simply amazing. Thank you to the owners for sharing 'God's little acre' with us. So beautiful!

The Pangels Family, London - March 2021

What an amazing stay. Bantham and Bigbury are just beautiful and my favourite places. Having grown up not far from here and spending many weekends on the beaches, there was only one place I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday! Overcombe is an absolutely beautiful house. It has been such a special weekend. My son does not want to leave! Hopefully we will be back…soon!

The Hayward Family, Exton | Guestbook - March 2021
