The wooded cliffs at Bolt Tail form a backdrop to this sandy cove on what is renowned as one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the South Hams. These holiday cottages are set within 100 yards of the sandy beach – an unrivalled position for enjoying the seaside, but also perfect for fishing, sailing and water-skiing (with a dinghy-launching slip 200 yards away, and facilities for larger boats at nearby Salcombe).
The cottages are in the centre of this charming seaside village, with its pretty thatched cottages, inns, restaurants and small shop within a short walk. The South Devon coastal footpath winds along the cliffs and through Hope Cove between Salcombe and Thurlestone, with opportunities for magnificent walking amongst glorious coastal scenery. The maritime attractions continue slightly further afield. Salcombe, 4 miles away, is one of the most prestigious sailing centres in the country. It offers extensive sandy beaches, too, and a wide choice of fascinating shops, boutiques and restaurants in its quaintly winding narrow streets. The estuary here is a kaleidoscope of brightly coloured craft of all kinds at their moorings – a paradise for sailing enthusiasts. Thurlestone, 2 miles to the west, can be reached either by car or via the coastal path. It boasts yet more expanses of golden sands, a regular feature of this lovely coastline. In addition, it has a superb cliff-top links golf course, edged by sandy coves, tennis courts and picturesque streets of thatched cottages overlooking the bay.
Kingsbridge, the ‘capital’ of the South Hams, has a good choice of interesting shops, a museum and a sports centre with squash, badminton and bowling. Boating and diving trips can be arranged in the Salcombe Estuary, and boats are available for hire. Within easy driving distance are the historic cities of Plymouth and Exeter and Kitley Caves. The wide-open spaces and breathtaking scenery of the Dartmoor National Park are less than an hour by car, and there are many National Trust properties, stately homes and interesting gardens within a short drive. Anchor Cottages are set in a little terrace in the village. They have been designed to offer ‘upside-down’ accommodation, with first floor living rooms. Comfortably furnished, each has a small first floor sitting-out area with furniture. They are ideally located for a Devon holiday by the sea. Beach 1 mile. Shop 50 yards.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 30 guests.

The location was good very close to the beach pubs and a local shop. We had a few problems when we were there. Starting with difficulty finding the accommodation. Arrival instructions could be better. There were no instructions for anything in the holiday accommodation and we had to turn mains water on when arrived. Finding the immersion heater after no not water. The electric oven kept tripping the mains so we could not use the oven. The shower holder would not stay up and a constant dripping tap in the open plan kitchen diner lounge was a bit annoying. There was no patio furniture as advertised.Having said all that we enjoyed our stay and the accommodation had everything we needed. We would return but would hope that the above matters would be sorted.

Lovely size house. Would benefit from attention to small details. Ie. Inadequate shower, broken tin opener, dripping tap and balcony at the back needs sprucing up. These details would not stop us returning

Can’t fault the location, it’s very close to the beach and main village hub. Westward Ho itself is very dated and appears to have had very little investment (washing machine that you can’t turn off, oven that trips the mains, constantly dripping kitchen tap) - it all feels very tired and in need to some TLC. Having said that, we would stay again, but the property could definitely do with updating.
