Hope Cove Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Hope Cove Cottage is equidistant between the yachting haven Salcombe, and set on an idyllic country lane leading down to the golden bay of Hope Cove. Push open the sky-blue gate and you'll be smitten. This 250-year-old self-catering cottage is sure to capture the hearts of all the family.

With its four-poster bed, the master bedroom is like one from a storybook and sits alongside two twin bedrooms – all of which enjoy far-reaching southerly vistas of the rolling hills. One of the twins features an en suite shower room, whilst the other bedrooms share the family bathroom with its tempting claw-foot tub.

After fresh coffee and sugar-dusted pastries on the terrace, take a short drive down the lane to discover the tiny hub of Hope Cove. Here you'll find a pint-size harbour, gorgeous sandy bay and smattering of delightful eateries tucked between undeveloped cliffs.

Let the infectious atmosphere win you over, at what will soon feel like your home-away-from-home. A day of beachy adventures will have you yearning for the comfort of the cottage come dusk, where a bubbling wooden hot tub and fire pit await – campfire songs optional (but when else does one get the chance?!)

Two dogs are very welcome at Hope Cove Cottage.

No smoking in or around Hope Cove Cottage please due to the thatched roof

Please note this is the reduced occupancy version of Dusky Cottage. There is a double room on the ground floor and a Shepherds' Hut in the garden but these are out of bounds. Unfortunately, if these are used, you will be charged the full occupancy price. If you're a larger party looking for full use of this property, do take a look at Dusky Cottage.
