About this property
Harmur is a comfortable dog-friendly two storey apartment perfectly located for a seaside break in the pretty village of Hope Cove. With the South West Coast Path nearby, two lovely beaches just minutes away, village shop for croissants and newspapers, plus local pub and café serving good food, this is the perfect location for a seaside getaway all year round. Bantham, popular with surfers, is just a short drive away, whilst picturesque Salcombe, with its shops, art galleries, restaurants and pretty waterfront, can be reached by car in 10-15 minutes.
The two storey accommodation includes a well-presented kitchen/sitting/dining room with lovely sea and country views. There are three bedrooms: On the ground floor is a double bedroom and a small bedroom with a single bed and on the first floor is a twin room with two single beds (as this room is built into the roof space the height is restricted on one side). This room lends itself to working from home or a quiet study spot as there is a handy folding desk and chair. There are also two shower rooms, one on each floor adjacent to the bedrooms.
Outside there is a good sized balcony with lovely views across neighbouring farmland and also out to sea. To the front of the building is an area of garden shared with the other properties. The property has an allocated space for one car in the parking bay on Grand View Road.
Sleeping up to five people, this is a wonderful base for those looking to enjoy the delights of Hope Cove and the surrounding countryside, with or without a dog!
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.

The view from the living/dining area is wonderful, a real highlight. We knew in advance about the parking situation so were able to park below if there weren't any spaces outside the property. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and utensils for the few nights we ate in. It was clean and light. Would recommend this property for a great base in the beautiful Hope Cove. Thank you.

Perfect location for nipping down to the beach. Comfortable beds and everything we needed provided. The owner sorted a small issue immediately. We have already booked for next year.

Gorgeous views and very close to the beach. The downstairs bathroom was tricky to manoeuvre in as itâs a very small space but as a second bathroom is necessary with two teenagers taking ownership of the bathroom upstairs! Tried to book again for next year but unavailable unfortunately.
