Wembury, an area of outstanding natural beauty is 5 miles away. Bovisand is perfect for couples or family holidays, walking the coastal paths, exploring the nearby beaches, surfing, diving, snorkeling or simply relaxing on one of the patio’s soaking up the sun.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Jackson
Hello, I live in a small village in Oxfordshire with my husband and 3 children. For over 6 years we've been renting chalets at Bovisand and in 2011 an opportunity arose for us to buy one in the perfect location for us. It's our place to be happy and active and relax. Being right on the coast is fantastic and therapeutic and we just hope you enjoy your stay as much as we always do.
Important information:
Due to COVID 19 and Government safety regulations please be assured that the cleaning company I use have masks, gloves for every task, shoe covers, disposable cloths – single-use everything. I know it is not environmentally friendly but at the moment it is the only way to limit the potential spread of the virus and your safety is important to us.
All cleaning products are certified for use in biohazard cleaning (these are usually only necessary following RTA's/undiscovered deaths, but they protect against more than the usual disinfectant). All PPE is removed outside the chalet door, is double bagged and disposed of in accordance with Government guidelines. Obviously, when things go back to normal they will not need to do this.
If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact me.
Warm wishes,
Sarah

Why they chose this property
It's our seaside bolthole: the chalet. Even in winter when the coast is at it's starkest we still love it here. There is a wonderful feeling being right by the sea that lets us know we've escaped the rat-race. The children spend hours on the beach and never sleep as well as when they're here.
What makes this property unique
It's literally minutes walk to the beaches. We are very lucky to have such wonderful views of Bovisand and a lovely large patio and BBQ area to enjoy them from.
We love walking along the coast the Eddistone Inn for a relaxing lunch then back for a quick 'dip' late afternoon. Though my husband will venture into the sea 'all year round'..
It's just the perfect base to return too if we spend the day either at other beaches, the moors, Cornwall. And should we wish for a more lively evening then the Barbican and theatres and cinemas are just 5 miles away.
We never leave without visiting the seafood restaurant 'Platters', on the Barbican. The fishmarket is literally opposite the restaurant. Even A. Lloyd-Webber said 'it's the best fish I have ever tasted'. And we agree. Fantastic!
