About Us

Burgh Island Hotel is an iconic Devon landmark,
a shining white ocean liner, moored on its own
tidal island, surrounded by golden beaches and
silver seas.
Built in 1929, extended in 1932 and, since 2006, completely restored to its '30s glamour, the Burgh Island Hotel is a retreat like none other.
The beauty and intrigue of an island visit has always drawn guests who are looking for something different.  It is no surprise that Agatha Christie, Noel Coward and other pre-War luminaries made Burgh Island their second home.
In 2011, we opened Southernhay House Hotel in Exeter.  As a sister hotel to Burgh Island, Southernhay House shares the same values and elegance in a city centre location, just one hour away from Burgh.
