Erme is a real stay in Bigbury on Sea, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.
If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Tell us your dog policy. Want the whole page — photos, prices, your own words? Claim this listing.
If you have been and you know the answer, tell us and we will go and confirm it.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Bay View Cafe is a place to eat in Bigbury-on-Sea. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
The wide sand flats facing Burgh Island, with the tidal causeway crossing them twice a day. The restricted stretch runs east from the lifeguard steps and is closed to dogs during the day in season; the council publishes it as a ten to seven restriction while the order itself describes a twenty-four hour ban on that part, so read the signs on the day.
A challenging 6.5 miles of about three and a half hours, up the wooded Avon estuary on the Estuary Way, inland to the thatched village of Ringmore and back along open clifftop past Ayrmer Cove and Challaborough, with 330 metres of climbing and several short sharp descents. Start at the large pay-and-display car park above Bigbury-on-Sea, which looks out at Burgh Island and is the only substantial parking for miles; the 875 bus runs from Modbury on Fridays only, so plan on driving. Dogs get a long off-lead stretch on the estuary path and at Ayrmer Cove, and the Journey's End at Ringmore takes them, but the Bigbury beach where you park bars dogs between 10am and 7pm from 1 May to 30 September, and there is grazing stock in almost every field on the inland half.
Nobody has written one for Erme. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
Know one we have missed?
Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
