“Bankside was comfortable, warm and clean although there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders not that they bothered us.”

The drive is very steep and we grounded our car (Skoda Octavia) on the first attempt so parked on the street for the duration of our stay - the photos don’t really show the steepness of drive but something for people to be aware of. The front bedroom smelt very musty/damp but we slept in the back room so this didn’t affect us. The Mira shower was excellent after a long day hiking.

The drive is very steep and we grounded our car (Skoda Octavia) on the first attempt so parked on the street for the duration of our stay - the photos don’t really show the steepness of drive but something for people to be aware of. The front bedroom smelt very musty/damp but we slept in the back room so this didn’t affect us. The Mira shower was excellent after a long day hiking. The bungalow is about 5 minutes walk from the coastal path and we had some lovely hikes from the house. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the pub in Hope Cove although it is a walk back uphill to the bungalow but isn’t too steep. Maybe suggestions would be for some maps/walking books and a tray/rack for boots/shoes to be provided - we used newspaper in the conservatory for muddy boots. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay at Bankside again if in the area.

“Really great bungalow in a great location.”

Clean, well equipped, comfy bed and sofas. Nice garden, very private.

“We were disappointed with Bankside.”

We've stayed several times at Seascape and once at Cindy's Retreat with our son and family but this year booked a separate house. Despite being described as "outstanding" Bankside wasn't up to the standard of either. The owners of Seascape make regular upgrades such as the new shower room, and the standard of fitments, furniture, decoration and maintenance are high. Good points, the sitting room is comfortable and the enclosed garden was sheltered. Not so good, the kitchen and bathroom are very dated, the fridge had missing shelves, there's no dishwasher, the shower head dripped loudly randomly and the dining table is old. The plastic outdoor table and chairs were warped and old (not as in photo) and sited on a small, rough area of concrete, contrasting with the beautiful terrace at Seascape. The double duvet is worn out, grubby and stained and the mattress protector also has stains - not the best thing to find on leaving. We had already booked Bankside for 2025 before staying so we hope that our comments are taken positively and lead to improvements as we are now apprehensive about next year. With some care and attention Bankside could be fabulous!

Iain July 2024

“Reviews said the property was tired and dated which it is.”

However a few things need to be addressed more quickly. The chest of drawers in both bedrooms smell very damp and need replacing. The garden gate on the far side of the property also needs securing to keep dogs/children safe. However location great and we had a great holiday.

- Iain, July 2024
Rachel June 2024

“Stayed at Bankside over 4 times, always a great holiday and the bungalow is fantastic, location great, everything we need is there, ( a couple of reclining Sun loungers would be good) kitchen fully equipped, we always look forward to dodging the seagulls guarding the property the week that we usually book, but keep up the good work, I’ve booked again for next year.”

- Rachel, June 2024
Jane April 2024

“Bankside is a lovely and so peaceful place to stay for exploring South Devon.”

All and more we could have wished for, would definitely book again Jane

- Jane, April 2024
Malcolm April 2024

“We have become regular visitors to Hope Cove, and always stay at Bankside.”

It's comfortable and suits our needs. The bungalow is nicely situated in a residential area, and has countryside views to the rear. The back garden is fully enclosed and a decent size, ideal for the dog. We will be booking again.

- Malcolm, April 2024
Rick October 2023

“The property was ideal for us.”

Very good location and ideal for the dogs in the back garden. We had a number of lovely walks from the house. Everything we needed was provided. Highly recommended.

- Rick, October 2023
Helen October 2023

“Cottage was perfect for us and our two dogs.”

It has a lovely open plan arrangement with an enclosed back garden and was very comfortable. There is no dishwasher but it has a washing machine and tumble dryer which were very handy. I would have no hesitation in recommending it...but take your own toilet rolls, one very small, thin roll is not enough for two people for a week!

- Helen, October 2023
Nick September 2023

“Lovely bungalow modern and well equipped great garden but be aware there are two gates one each side ,one by the garage and one the other side which was wide open ( not locked) to which our dog would have escaped had I not checked and locked it ,also drive very steep also it states a 4mins walk to beach and local pub ,more like 12 to 15 minutes and down a very steep hill .”

Very relaxing location and .Lovely beach for dogs . Nice base for exploring South devon and Cornwall

- Nick, September 2023
Derek July 2023

“Exceptional location, quiet, but near to the amenities of Hope Cove and close to Salcombe and Dartmouth.”

- Derek, July 2023
Rachel June 2023

“Absolutely love this holiday bungalow, ideal for a lovely holiday in south Devon, the fenced in garden is ideal, and lovely walks on the doorstep, this was our second stay at Bankside and I’ve booked again for next year.”

- Rachel, June 2023
Valerie April 2023

“A very cosy, comfortable and well equipped bungalow.”

It was lovely enjoying a cup of tea, in the sun warmed conservatory, looking out onto the garden and the fields beyond. The location is excellent: very peaceful and quiet with the coastal path on our doorstep and a short stroll to the beach and pubs. Would definitely stay at Bankside again.

- Valerie, April 2023
Caroline April 2023

“We had an excellent stay at Bankside.”

A great location with parking and made a wonderful base for our holiday. A walk every morning to either Hope Cove or nearby Thurlestone across the easy accessible pathways was brilliant. We will definitely book again. Thank you for our package of tea, biscuits and milk. This was greatly appreciated after our long journey.

- Caroline, April 2023
Vanessa March 2023

“This is our second stay at Bankside, the house has everything you could possibly need.”

The beds are very comfy and the shower is fantastic! The enclosed garden is a lovely bonus for our dog, it’s less than 5 minute walk to the beach. You must book a pod at The Lobster Pod - great atmosphere and wonderful food. The Hope and Anchor is great too.

- Vanessa, March 2023
Gary March 2023

“Great bungalow, very clean with good sized rooms in a lovely location and everything you need for a week's stay.”

Liked it so much have rebooked it for Christmas week If four people were staying it could be a bit of a squash in the lounge as only a three seater and an armchair. Could really do with another armchair or a two seater sofa replacing the single armchair.

- Gary, March 2023
Katy February 2023

“Perfect little holiday stay, great garden, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and fab shower.”

Short walk into the village and beach. Loved it.

- Katy, February 2023
Ian October 2022

“Clean and well equipped, situated in a quiet close, apart from a few noisy sheep, which was lovely!”

Comfy beds, easy walking distance to beach and pubs. It is a shame that there is no recycling possible, I took everything home to recycle. For comfort for 4 people two small settees would be good. One word of warning...... The drive is very steep and forgetting when I arrived how low my car was when fully loaded it grounded and ripped off and destroyed a jacking point cover, so beware! Apart from a couple of minor things a lovely place to stay.

- Ian, October 2022
Keith October 2022

“Have stayed numerous times at Bankside with our two dogs and as always it was very clean and tidy on our arrival.”

The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cutlery, plates and mugs provided. Thankyou

- Keith, October 2022
Anthony September 2022

“We loved our stay at Bankside , lovely big back garden Maisie loved it .”

Lots of places to visit . Hope cove beach 2 mins away Nightingales

- Anthony, September 2022
Adrian September 2022

“We love staying at Bankside, it suits us and our small dog, with lovely walks from the door and handy parking.”

The bungalow is improved since last year, however would still benefit from some updates and a deep clean. Bearing in mind the sensible pricing however, we already re-booked for next year on our return, and look forward to another lovely holiday at Hope Cove.

- Adrian, September 2022
Jayne September 2022

“This was a wonderful stay in a holiday cottage that was very fitting in the area for which it sits.”

It is not fantastically modern because it is not meant to be but it is homely. The beds are very comfortable and the previous comments about the shower no longer seem to be a concern as the shower is a rainfall and was very efficient with no dripping. To improve the experience I would recommend a larger TV and one that is attached to the internet as would be the norm. I could not understand why dishwasher tablets were given when there is no dishwasher and I would have appreciated a clothes airer as do not use a tumble dryer and had to hang our clothes around the conservatory when raining.

- Jayne, September 2022
Madeleine August 2022

“We’ve been staying in Hope Cove for many years, but this was our first time at Bankside and it’s one of the best cottages we’ve stayed in.”

The size of the accommodation was ideal for us (3 people plus dog) and there was everything you need - it was clean and tidy and everything had been thought of. The only place it loses points is lack of recycling facilities and if you have a low car you cannot park on the drive (we just parked on the road so it wasn’t a huge issue). We have come home and booked straight again for 2023!

- Madeleine, August 2022
Malcolm August 2022

“A nice quiet place to stay but now needs updating.”

The kitchen in particular needs modernising new hob and dishwasher in particular needed. Other than that not bad at all.

- Malcolm, August 2022
Xiaolei July 2022

“The only shower in the property had been leaking and making a noise of dripping water on the bath for 6 out of 7 days of our stay.”

There was no hot water for two days and the shower head didn’t work for the last two days of our stay. There was no dishwasher. In general, a good location as it’s in Hope Cove but we will not return.

- Xiaolei, July 2022
Joanne June 2022

“Property need a deep clean.”

I did email coast and country but got no reply. Cobwebs in kitchen and lounge. Conservatory too plus it was filthy. Bathroom extractor fan very dusty. This was not just a few weeks worth of dust. The cleanliness had been reported previously but obviously not rectified. Clothes airer broken, no where to put up rotary line. The bunglow was week equipped but the above spoilt it.

- Joanne, June 2022
Jonathan May 2022

“- There was dog poo under the key box from a previous stay.”

- The bathroom was incredibly cramped and dated, there is a tile hanging off to the top right of the window, and the shower continually drips which can be heard in both bedrooms overnight. -The fridge door is very easy to accidentally leave open. - The driveway is too steep to park on. I tried as per your instructions and grounded my car on the concrete. Don't get me wrong it was a pleasant stay but these were noticeable niggles that would be straightforward to improve.

- Jonathan, May 2022
Jeremy April 2022

“The property is in a great location for the Hope Cove facilities and for the coastal path.”

We used both regularly during our stay. As far as we could see there was no dishwasher. It wasn't a problem for us as we were only two. We were a bit confused by the recycling situation. The booklet said South Hams did not do a recycling collection. However on Thursday we saw lots of green boxes and white canvas bags outside other properties but these were not available at our property. The instruction was to take recycling the 2 miles through the lanes to Marlborough. When we did this last year there was little recycling separation there either. What is the actual position?

- Jeremy, April 2022
Vanessa March 2022

“Backside is in the lovely village of Hope Cove and we had a wonderful holiday.”

The house had been cleaned but not well, lots of dark dust like it needed a start of season clean - we were offered for cleaners to come round but declined as just dust.The bins are a problem, they were over flowing when we arrived and seagulls having a great time. They weren’t collected on bin day and Coast and County kindly came out to remove some of the rubbish so we had bin space but looking at a previous review I think this is an on going problem with the trade waste.

- Vanessa, March 2022
Denise February 2022

“Had a great week at Bankside, property had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing week by the coast.”

The only things that needed to be addressed were the garbage collection information needs updating / correcting, and would possibly add paving slabs in the area where the key safe is located, as quite muddy after poor weather. Other than that, we had a great holiday, thank you.

- Denise, February 2022
Frances January 2022

“Comfortable and well equipped accommodation, just a few minutes walk to Hope Cove beach.”

It’s a wonderful location for families and the property had a well stocked book case plus games and films. We had a lovely time revisiting the area, having last visited 30 years ago, fabulous coastline walks and plenty of warm sunshine (in January!). Coast& County were also very professional and responded immediately to our concern regarding a leak in the bathroom.

- Frances, January 2022

Welcome back!.. Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were pleased to read that you found the apartment comfortable and that it provided you with all the facilities you required.. And the sun was shining! We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

John September 2021

“Bankside is in a great location for exploring this pretty part of Devon, great for walks straight from the door.”

The property itself does have a few maintenance issues, no lock or bolt on gate to left of property so not secure for dog in back garden.However the bungalow is well equipped.Mobile signal not great but understandable in this part of the world. We had a major issue on departure day as we thought we had locked our car keys in our car while loading just prior to departure. Massive problems resulted, too much to go into. However the cleaner, Stacey who arrived at the property during this event was fantastic in helping us.She went far and above all expectations, she showed so much concern for our predicament and would not rest until things were resolved for us. We had to arrange alternative accommodation in Hope Cove, which she helped sort out, thanks also to Gwen the manager at C&C Salcombe.Stacey even brought shopping in for us and drove us to the new accommodation. Gwen also dropped supplies to us, wonderful people. Stacey is an absolute credit to your business and deserves the upmost praise in her customer care, we cant thank her enough, without her we would have been completely stumped. Thank you a million times Stacey, a brilliant girl.

- John, September 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We were pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay here at Bankside. We were sorry that your departure became somewhat difficult and we were pleased that our Salcombe team were able to assist you in resolving the problem and making other arrangements. We do hope to welcome you back sometime soon. Coast and Country Cottages on behalf of, Property Owner
Elizabeth September 2021

“This was a really lovely bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac.”

It had a private enclosed garden which is important when you have a dog. Ideally situated for costal or countryside walks straight from the property. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you again for providing another quality property.

- Elizabeth, September 2021
Derek September 2021

“No back door key had to carry garden furniture through the house and round the back.”

I was told that rubbish sacks etc were in the garage but no garage key.

- Derek, September 2021
Sandra July 2021

“Second visit to Bankside, very well presented and well equipped.”

Garden is secure, ideal for children or a dog. Enjoyed our visit.

- Sandra, July 2021
Lisa May 2021

“Fabulous accommodation, we have stayed at Bankside on previous occasions.”

Very clean and comfy, loved having a garden to relax in too.

- Lisa, May 2021
Dave April 2021

“Bankside is a pleasant enough bungalow - it’s perhaps a little tired and dated in places, but forms a great base for this beautiful part of South Devon.”

The garden is fab, ideal for a dog - fully enclosed. Location is great for Hope Cove, with fab beaches and pubs all within easy walking distance. Overall - recommended.

- Dave, April 2021
Martin October 2020

“So much to do around, mainly walking and site seeing.”

Not too limited by covid. Seriously reccomend mobile with "WhatsApp". Good BT hub in Bankside. Mobile coverage in area is almost non existent. Be very carefull reversing car into driveway, steep slope down, means scraping underside of car on edge of pavement. Despite all above, an excellent stay, roll on next time. Martin and Karen.

“Comfortable bungalow on quite cul de sac very peaceful holiday, lovely secure ...”

Comfortable bungalow on quite cul de sac very peaceful holiday, lovely secure rear garden for dog although rear gate needs some attention as it is about to fall apart,good location to access sea front with village shop come post office and bar doing take away drinks and food, excellent beach to watch sunset, bungalow well equipped for everything you need, walls could do with a freshen up

- Peter, September 2020
Claire August 2020

“We stayed at Bankside 8 years ago & it is much the same now.”

It could definitely do with an update such as lick of paint, new mattresses etc but was a nice stay

- Claire, August 2020
Vicky July 2020

“On arrival house was dirty and needed to be cleaned.”

We were not able to arrive until 5pm as extra cleaning required due to Covid. This property as not Covid clean. Cobwebs in kitchen cupboards & plates and cups were dirty. Fridge could not cope if full so needed to use extra fridge in conservatory. Toilet would make loud noise when flushed and wake us up at night. On a plus side is has a lovely private south facing back garden.

- Vicky, July 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments regarding your recent stay at Bankside. We work very hard with our owners and individual cleaners/caretakers to ensure all properties are clean, tidy and well presented before the arrival of holiday guests and we are sorry that these checks did not highlight the issues you have raised. When you contacted us to advise that you were unhappy with the cleanliness, we did offer to have our housekeeping team attend, but you declined, which is disappointing as we always endeavour to rectify any issues raised by guests. Thank you for advising us of the noisy toilet, we will get our maintenance team to investigate. We were glad to hear that you enjoyed the garden and hope that you had a lovely time in Hope Cove.

Malcolm February 2020

“We have been going to Bankside for years and always have a good time.”

The location suits us as its close enough to the beach to walk there (stopping off at the pub on the way back) but in a quiet residential area. A nice garden which we enjoy, with a view over surrounding countryside.

- Malcolm, February 2020
Bernadette December 2019

“The bungalow is in a great location, 2 minutes from beach, pub, restaurants, coffee shop, small post office and village shop.”

Dogs welcome in everyone except the shop. Also coastal path walks. Fabulous. Its extremely well kitted out with everything you need. Personally I think a blind would be better at the kitchen window. Would complete the look and cosiness of the room. Perhaps a selection of pillows as for me the ones provided were very hard. Garden is a decent size and in the summer would be lovely for a bbq.

- Bernadette, December 2019
John November 2019

“It was good to find a cottage to meet our needs.”

We came away to escape the fireworks at home that upsets our dog Mist. Happily it was quiet and peaceful. The bungalow was close to the beach at Hope Cove and plenty of walks for Mist. The only slight niggle was the entrance the drive that scraped the bottom of the car - may be worth a mention in the description? We were able to miss it when we were aware of it.

- John, November 2019
Peter September 2019

“Although this is a dog friendly cottage I feel potential guests should be aware of certain rules .”

If you like a cuddle on the sofa with your dog or your dog likes to sleep in the same room as you this may not be the cottage for you,but on the plus side it has a fantastic enclosed garden where our dog could run around freely.

- Peter, September 2019
Malcolm August 2019

“Bankside at Hope Cove is an oasis of peace and relaxation in an ever stressful world.”

- Malcolm, August 2019
Emma July 2019

“The house is lovely and well eqipped.”

Well suited to a young family with enclosed garden. Great location with short walk to the beach and village centre. We couldn't fault it. Just worth letting you know that the outside chairs are slightly perished and likely to fail soon.

- Emma, July 2019
Ray June 2019

“Clean, large bungalow; well equipped.”

Garden had excellent security for our small Yorkie. For first week of July I don't think we saw another person in the area where we were staying ... all modern bungalows no doubt mostly for self catering holiday makers. Most accommodation around the cove itself seems to be B&B or hotels. 15 minutes walk to coastal path or fantastic Hope Cove. All day parking in Hope Cove was £5 !! I have never seen such a wonderful cove .... good walks; thriving fishing industry; dog friendly; good places to eat local seafood. Very friendly locals. BUT .... narrow roads to get to the area - local drivers courteous to tourists but you need to be aware of width of your car. We will go back but most certainly avoid main tourist season. PS: No mobile phone signal at the bungalow but the WiFi works well so you just need to use mobile in 'WiFi' mode.

- Ray, June 2019
Steven June 2019

“Have stayed at Bankside previously and really enjoyed our stay there.”

This time we found the lounge area had been updated - nice touch, impressed with the improvements. Will be booking again for next year, hopefully.

- Steven, June 2019
Joanne May 2019

“We have used Coast and Country for the last 8 years always staying at Bankside.”

We have found the bungalow facilities excellent and have been upgraded/updated when needed. If we have had any questions or issue Coast and Country have always answered and dealt with these efficiently and always been very helpful.

- Joanne, May 2019
Maureen April 2019

“We had a wonderful week at Bankside, the bungalow was really comfortable and well equipped, the only thing missing is a dishwasher.”

The area is lovely and the walks along the coast are great. We would certainly recommend it.

Mr D Cawthra Jul 2018

“Brilliant apart from the bed.”

- Mr D Cawthra, Jul 2018

Many thanks for your review in respect of your recent stay at Bankside. Your comments regarding the bed are much appreciated, and we can now confirm the owners are considering replacing the double bed. In addition, the owner has replaced the twin beds with a new zip and link bed. We trust you were still able to enjoy the recent glorious weather and took plenty of time to explore Hope Cove beach and the surrounding South West coastal path. Property Owner
Mrs C Croker May 2018

“I thought Bankside was a lovely bungalow, modern throughout, Very well equipped in the kitchen, nice modern bathroom, lots of hot water, we did take a while to figure out the central heating, as there wasn't a lot of information on heating, but once we sorted it, was very efficient and warmed up quickly.”

Only needed it on,a few evenings as it was lovely and sunny most days, so we were very lucky with the weather,as it was first week in May!! And the beds we're very comfy. My friends dog loved the garden,as was very secure, and we loved the fact that it was so secluded and quiet. Overall I would definitely stay here again. Also I must say it was very clean which I appreciate a lot, especially as it's dog friendly, (Must say we missed not having a hairdryer,as we didn't bring one, as usually there is one supplied)

- Mrs C Croker, May 2018

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review in respect of your recent stay at Bankside. We were pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay; particularly enjoying the comfortable beds and the sunny enclosed gardens. We were grateful for your valuable feedback in respect of the property and have now arranged for a hair dryer and a set of laminated instructions for the heating to be left at the property for future guests. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Look forward to welcoming you back to Hope Cove very soon. Property Owner

- Mrs Geraldine Hicks, May 2018

Many thanks for taking the time to leave such positive feedback in respect of your recent stay at Bankside in Hope Cove. We were delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay in this popular pet friendly property; so close to two sandy beaches, the village centre and stunning South West Coast Path. We do hope to welcome you all back to Hope Cove very soon. Property Owner
Mr Nicholas Giles Oct 2017

“Very suitable accommodation for a short break and well situated, not too far down single track lanes with village, pub and coves/beaches within walking distance.”

The property had been recently decorated so it looked light and bright. It was warm and very well equipped with utensils We found parking in the drive, as requested in the details, difficult as one has to drive over a sharp crown which scraped the underside of our Corolla. By hugging the hedge in reverse one avoided the worst of the crown. Further trimming of the shrub at the top of the drive would have made this easier. When hunting under the double bed for a missing item I noticed that the 5th bed leg (the central support) was no longer upright. We positioned it correctly. Anyone moving the bed needs to be aware of this and it was not easy to adjust single handed. I emptied the vacuum cleaner on leaving, there was strong smell of dog from the pre-motor filter but didn't have time to wash it. We were very impressed that although the property was dog friendly there was no smell of dog in any of the rooms, a good choice to have hard floors in the main areas

- Mr Nicholas Giles, Oct 2017

Thank you for your feedback following your recent holiday at Bankside in Hope Cove. We were disappointed to read your various comments and would like to assure you that the points raised are now being addressed. We do hope that you managed to spend a few wonderful days exploring the beautiful sandy beaches and spectacular coastal paths so close to the property and look forward to welcoming you back to the South Hams again very soon. Property Owner
Ms Sheila Mitchell Sep 2017

“On arrival at Bankside I had to clean living room as it was covered in long dog hairs, particularly on curtains and furniture.”

Vacuum cleaner was full to brim of pet hairs which I needed to empty prior to cleaning. Twin bedroom had awful musty smell. I would have expected cleaner to have addressed.

- Ms Sheila Mitchell, Sep 2017

We were grateful to your for your comments following your recent holiday but disappointed to hear of the various issues raised. Please be rest assured that this has been followed up with the housekeeping team. We do hope that despite the issues raised you had a pleasant stay in Hope Cove. Property Owner

“This is our second time at Bankside, a super little bungalow that provided everything that we needed during our stay at Hope Cove.”

The accommodation is clean & tidy although feels a little tired and outdated, maybe time for a redecorate and refurbish? Just a small suggestion and wouldn't stop us from recommending this property to friends and family. Many thanks

About the location

HOPE COVE

Salcombe 4.6 miles; Kingsbridge 5.1 miles

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 second bedroom has two single beds which can be made up to a super king-size bed. This must be requested at the time of booking.

Two small well behaved dogs are permitted.

Strictly No Smoking
