We spent our honeymoon at the Burgh Island Hotel and swore that we'd soon return. However, circumstances of life, including parenthood, served to delay that return until March 2012, when we returned for our tenth wedding anniversary. Ten years ago it seemed perfect and our concern was that the new owners (they had acquired the hotel only a month before)... More

It has taken me until now to write my review as I have been on such a downer since returning from such a truly fantastic weekend! My husband & I were guests at our close friend's 50th birthday at Burgh Island (27th April 2012) - we have been visiting the hotel for over 20years - eventhough we have visited many... More

We spent our 40th Anniversary weekend here and were not dissapointed. The rooms are shabby chic everything in 30's style, beautifully warm, lots of hot water, gorgeous views and lots of fun. The dinner dance was lovely, food excellent and the staff complimented the setting with their superb service. Loved the cocktails, would have liked better weather but you can't... More

Just as amazing as we anticipated. The hotel fully lived up to expectations. An eccentric art deco 'palace' on its own island. From the moment you are met 'on land' by a member of staff to transport you over the sand or sea, depending on tides, you feel very special. The service was superb. Very friendly staff who clearly enjoyed... More

Having been given this as a Christmas present from my husband I was very excited to be visiting Burgh Island. We arrived mid week to thick fog ad rain but it made it more exciting and atmospheric. Because of the poor weather conditions the sea tractor didn't run but we were picked up in the hotel land rover after ringing.... More

We have been to Burgh Island several times now and it has never disappointed! The whole ambience is wonderful from the minute you step through the lovely Art Deco entance. There are many reviews on here saying very similar things but the point I would like to make is that we are not rich but like to treat ourselves once... More

Simply the best hotel you will ever set foot in. As unmissable period pieces go, it's a bit more expensive than the Hotel Baron in Aleppo, but the Manhattans are better and so is the view. We stayed two nights - one night would be ludicrous, you'd be in and out the door without even properly unpacking - in the... More

I was taken to Burgh Island as a surprise for my 40th - although I'd dropped enough hints! We only stayed for 2 nights but it was absolutely fantastic, and more than lived up to its reputation. It really is Hollywood glam from the Art Deco era. We had the Eddystone Suite which was brilliant - a huge (well, reallywide)... More

We have just returned from spending the final 2 nights of our honeymoon at Burgh & it couldn't have been better. From the moment we arrived the service was excellent as well as very speedy & efficient even when the hotel was full. The food was absolutely superb (& we had our wedding dinner at Langans so we like our... More
