The village of Hope Cove has two hotels, pub, shop and cafes. Conveniently located about five miles from both Kingsbridge and Salcombe, this compact village truly comes to life in the summer and has everything you need for a relaxing break.
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.

Nicola
It is a very well equipped house with beautiful views and lovely and warm. Only a 2 minute walk to the beach.The 4 bathrooms were ideal, together with a separate WC, one of the reasons we chose the property. The listing didn't mention the huge fridge and fridge freezer together with a wine fridge which was great for our family. Coast and country were were wonderful to deal with.Thank you for a wonderful stay
