    “We have enjoyed our 2nd visit to this charming property and loved every moment.”

    It was a chance to completely unwind in such a beautiful cottage. It had everything we could possibly need and was spotlessly clean. We enjoyed some lovely walks which were right in the doorstep.

About the location

HOPE COVE

Salcombe 4.6 miles; Kingsbridge 5.1 miles

The picturesque and unspoiled village of Hope Cove lies in the sheltered curve of Bigbury Bay on Devon’s south coast. A choice destination for families, the two beaches offering soft sand and rock pools for sandcastle building and fishing for small crabs. The town remains a fishing village where crabs and lobsters are still landed, however it was once used by smugglers. Many ships have perished around the coast and the wrecks that lie beneath the waves make it a popular spot for divers. Above the beach there are a number of pubs and restaurants. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards Bigbury-on-sea in one direction and the coastal resort of Salcombe in the other.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Off-season
  • Christmas
