I clicked onto Trip Advisor prior to leaving for a two night break at Burgh Island for our wedding anniversary and was somewhat anxious after reading the rather lukewarm report. However, it was so far from the truth! The staff were fantastic, helpful, efficient, friendly (without being over the top) and at all times totally professional. The food was delicious,... more

We stayed here for a weekend in August and could not have had better weather. So a top floor room overlooking the sea could not have given us a better location. The decor is in some need of attention as is the furniture but one can turn a blind eye to that. The food is very high quality and memorable.... more

We visit the Pilchard Inn on Burgh island every year for fantastic grub (the prawns used to be great) in a beautiful location. We usually do the beautiful coast walk around from Hope for lunch at the Pilchard Inn. This year we were disapponted to find that decent food is no longer available and the service was appalling. It must... more

I have only recently come accross this community, so I thought I would look see if things at Burgh Island had improved since I was last there. Sadly it has not. My tale of woe dates back to 2004, when I chose it to get married at. I had stayed there several times previously (once with my then fiance) and... more

We were also non-residents at the 05-06 New Year Ball. We were requested to arrive several hours earlier due to weather conditions and accepted that changing facilities are limited. We were well looked after and even a period film shown and refreshments provided, courtesy of the hotel. We have been to the New Year Ball for 4 years and usually... more

We stayed in 'The Apartment' at New Year 2005/6. Smartly appointed and on 'The English Side' we were driven to the island for the New Year celebration just after lunchtime. We watched the tide come in from the Pilchard Inn whose fare was limited to two types of sandwich or a bowl of soup. As evening approached and we asked... more

I had heard so much about how this beautiful place had changed over the last two years that I felt I had to pay a visit to one of my old haunts. It was as I remember it - stunningly beautiful. That was until I walked across the beach and had a closer look, or should I say smell!!! I... more

We spent a lovely afternoon at Burgh Island with family and friends. The road down to Bigbury on Sea is mostly a single track road so you need to be prepared to slow down and give way. The views from the top of the island are beautiful 360 degrees. We took our own food and drink with us and had... more

I visited Burgh Island for a weekend in February and was very excited at the prospect of staying at the hotel as I had visited the island before but had only been able to admire the Hotel from afar. I was not disappointed; they boast of an authentic period feel and that was certainly delivered in every detail. I was... more
