About this property
Cottage View is a very well-appointed, bright and spacious property situated in an excellent, quiet, cul-de-sac location above the popular fishing village of Hope Cove. Hope Cove boasts two sandy beaches, popular with families because of their shallow waters and surrounding rock pools at low tide. The easy access to the South West Coast Path provides beautiful walks to Thurlestone, Salcombe and other coastal villages.
Cottage View has an open plan kitchen/dining room with a range of appliances, large pine dining table seating six and a modern Nespresso coffee machine, ideal for relaxing mornings. There is also a utility room with laundry equipment. The lounge has two three-seater sofas, traditional fireplace, widescreen TV/DVD player and a collection of local guide books, maps as well as children’s toys and games for younger guests. The lounge extends into a double-glazed conservatory with occasional furniture and sliding doors to enclosed south-facing terrace.
Sleeping up to six guests, the spacious master bedroom has a Super-King size bed, plenty of storage, TV/DVD player and sea views over the cove towards Bolt Tail. The second bedroom has twin beds which can be made into a Super-King on request, plenty of storage and lovely garden views. The third bedroom, has full-sized bunk beds and plenty of storage. There is a family bathroom, on first floor, and a shower room on the ground floor.
Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome on ground floor level. Stairgate, bowls and dog blankets provided. Ideal for those bringing a dog, to the rear of the cottage is an enclosed garden, south-facing walled terrace and a patio with garden furniture and barbecue. There is ample parking for three medium cars. As a baby friendly property, a travel cot, highchair, stair-gate and plastic utensils available at the property. With two sandy beaches just a few minutes' walk away and the South West Coast Path at your doorstep, this is the ideal location for a coastal retreat, with or without a pet.
The picturesque fishing village of Hope Cove lies in a sheltered bay on South Devon’s coastline, offering superb views over Bigbury Bay and Burgh Island. A choice destination for families, two beaches offer soft sand for sandcastle building, plus rock pools great for entertaining children. 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, including the popular café bar ‘The Cove’. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards the sandy beaches of Thurlestone and Bigbury-on-Sea in one direction, and the sailing town of Salcombe in the other.

Daryl
Had everything you could possibly want for a stay, and loved how clearly the instructions and information was. Very spacious and located in the perfect location for costal walks. If anything at all, the only change Iâd make is the sofa. Dated and uncomfortable but not unusable Overall had a fantastic stay at cottage view and would love to come back again

It is perfectly situated and very well equipped with dogs being as well catered for as humans. The very homely feel to the property made us feel very much at home. Thank you very much.
