If you want 5 star , ultramodern, brand new- try a city break instead or go 5 star elsewhere. This little 5 room Hotel is like staying in someones home with luxury comfort. Some would find it quirky -we certainly visited prior to our stay as some of the photos on the internet made it look a bit 'old lady'.In... More

My husband I stayed here with our dog for two evenings ( not long enough). We were welcomed by Martyn with tea and home made carrot cake-yum. We had the largest room, with the most amazing views. The bedroom was pure luxury, with beautiful linens, thick towels and robes, fragrant flowers and a decander of sherry-very Miss Marple. The bathroom... More

amazing location overlooking the mouth of the river Avon,charming host in Pietra-immaculate premises with a lovely relaxing homely feel.has its own path down to the beach from which you can also walk the estuary at low tide-very steep walk down tho which wouldnt suit older or less mobile folk.perfect place to escape it all...hope to return again this year.

We just had a long weekend here and the rooms were very comfortable, food was really really excellent and the hotel is in a fantastic coastal location with stunning views. The hosts, Pietra and Martin looked after us extremly well and nothing was too much trouble for them. Do yourself a favour and stop here and eat here when in... More

If you are looking for a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings then this is the place to stay. The food is perfectly prepared and clearly of the... More

Have been to The Henley Hotel at Bigbury-on-Sea many times and each time it gets better. Martyn is a fantastic chef and his lovely wife, Petra works hard at making guests enjoy their stay. The bedrooms are beautiful and clean and all have fantastic views over the sea and River Avon. Couldn't ask for a better place to relax (once... More

After a very hectic and stressful summer, it was wonderful to return to the Henley Hotel and be enveloped in the warm, friendly atmosphere. Everything was as wonderful as ever. The rooms are comfortable and always spotelessly clean. The food was excellent - breakfast, sat watching the kite surfers in the estuary below is a real treat. Despite this being... More

This was our first return for over 15 years to Bigbury on sea having stayed at Burgh Island previously & we could not understand why we had left it so long. The Henley is a real gem of a place. Beautiful interior, superb views, great walking from the front door & super food! What more can we say...the bedrooms were... More

I stayed in the Henley for one night in early October. They were lovely people and very helpful. The room was clean, pretty and had an amazing view, which unfortunately I couldn't see much of due to low lying cloud! The area is beautiful, and the weather actually made it really atmospheric. The only negative was the drive down to... More

Amazing views, wonderful food, great service and extremely well equipped bedrooms. The public rooms are charming too. If that wasnt enough, steps lead down, to what is for a great part of the day, a private beach. We sat on an almost deserted beach, cut off by the tide, smugly looking across to Bantham beach which was jam packed.
