We have just returned from an amazing weekend. It is somewhere I have always wanted to stay and after reading some of the reviews, I went with an open mind but determined to gain as much from the experience as possible. A combination of the Art Deco style, a love for dressing up and a penchant for a good bath,... More

Go here at least once in your lifetime (that said once you have been you will want to go back). An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The service was excellent and the hotel is so unique it is hard to do it justice in words. We came here for an anniversary weekend and will definitely be doing the... More

We had a wedding lunch here on the most glorious sunny day. The staff were fantastic, the setting outside and inside was just perfect. Food was good. We hired the Captains Cabin and it worked brilliantly for a lunch for 10 people. We walked to the tip of the island and had closing photos as the sun set. It is... More

We were treated to a two night stay in this fabulous hotel so cannot comment on the cost. All we can say is that the location is brilliant. We enjoyed our ride on the tractor with the waves lapping at the huge tyres. The evening dinners were thoroughly enjoyable. The food was excellent and we were transported back to the... More

We have just returned from a very special weekend on Burgh Island to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It was fantastic from the time we arrived at the designated car park to be whisked away to our destination via land rover. All the staff were courteous, helpful and treated everyone the same. Gary was great for getting the party atmosphere... More

We have just returned from our 4th trip to Burgh Island. As with each previous visit you take a step back in time to a slightly decadent and enjoyable era. This trip was to mark a special birthday and the hotel were very helpful in arranging a private area for all of us to have our caricatures drawn (a suprise... More

From the minute we were met in their car park on the mainland at Bigbury-on-Sea until we left the island on their sea tractor it was all pure magic. I defy anyone to match this special place. You can't help enjoying yourselves. The rooms, the view, the service, and most importantly the food are all exceptional. This was our second... More

Thank you for posting such a charming, and positive, review. Yes, it's worth noting that Wednesday and Saturday nights are our "dinner dance" nights and a real chance to slip back to the '30s in style - dancing not obligatory but you would be surprised what a little music does when mixed with cocktails! I love the Mountbatten Room, too... More

We have just returned from a one night stay. The round trip was over 500 miles so was it worth it? Definitely! The whole experience was magnificent. I particularly appreciated the genuine enthusiasm and friendliness shown by all of the staff. They all made us feel very welcomed. The hotel is really fascinating and the staff all have interesting snippets... More

Thank you for your lovely review of Burgh Island and I am delighted that you found us so welcoming and were able to probe a little into our history. As most of our staff have been with us for years (some try and leave but often end up returning..) they are all as enthusiastic about the island's history as I... More

What a great experience and a wonderful holiday. And no chocolate candles!! It was a birthday celebration for us but the hotel knew nothing of this. That did not matter because we were treated with the greatest courtesy by the highly trained and attentive staff which is a mark of the standard shown to all guests. The food was appetising... More

Thank you for your review - we don't often have non resident Sunday lunch reviews and so it's great to hear about your experience and I'm really happy that it was so positive: your waitress on that day was Mirka, who first started with us in 2007 and has just come back to Burgh after a couple of years in...
