Burgh Island Hotel - A historic Art Deco retreat on a private tidal island with fine dining and outdoor pools

Located on a private tidal island off the Devonshire coast, Burgh Island Hotel is a 4-star property renowned for its preserved Art Deco architecture and unique coastal setting. The hotel offers 25 individually named rooms and suites, each themed after notable past guests like Agatha Christie and Noel Coward, featuring amenities such as free bottled water, bathrobes, and sea views. Continental and à la carte breakfast options are available daily at Burgh Island Hotel, featuring dishes like kedgeree and locally sourced seafood. Leisure facilities include an outdoor saltwater Mermaid Pool, croquet, tennis, billiards, and live 1930s music in the Grand Ballroom three nights a week. The hotel's Palm Court Lounge serves signature cocktails, while five-course black-tie dinners in the Grand Ballroom showcase seasonal ingredients sourced within a 48.3 km radius. Access to the island is only possible by foot during low tide or via the hotel's sea tractor during high tide. Nearby attractions include Bigbury Beach (300m), Dartmoor National Park (24.1 km), and the fishing villages of Hope Cove and Salcombe.
