    “The cottage was fairly well equipped, couldn’t find any oven gloves so had to use a folded tea towel.”

    The bed squeaked with every movement and the double quilt was in a cover too small for it so feet and seeds were constantly uncovered. Despite this the cottage was quite warm and comfortable. The only real gripe was the lack of hot water. The water was stone cold when we arrived and did heat up overnight but still not enough to have a bath or more than a quick shower. Also the heated towel rail in bathroom wasn’t working so no way of drying towels after a shower or bath.

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.
