“We love Greystone.”

The view from the terrace is amazing and we never tire of admiring the view of Bolt Tail. It’s the sixth time we have stayed there and will definitely be coming back!

“A lovely family holiday home although a secure enclosed garden and decking would have been useful with young children.”

- Cheiron, September 2024
Kathy August 2024

“Fantastic holiday in a lovely bungalow in a great position with amazing sea views.”

Perfect for four couples as each had their own bathrooms. Will definitely come again

“Excellent open plan living, dining and kitchen area.”

Very well equipped. Only a couple of small niggly things that you get in most houses the doors could do with a spot of oil, light above sink in one en suite not working and plug cover loose in that same bathroom. Fabulous property and didnt want the holiday to end

Valerie February 2024

“A really beautiful property-- evidence of this is the fact that we have stayed here several times Our thanks to the extremely helpful and considerate owner when we had a slight issue with the central heating (with hindsight this was probably due to the power cut).”

The bungalow is very well equipped and comfortable. Our dog loved it too and also wants to return!

“Fantastic location and great home.”

We sadly hit the week of stormy dreadful weather thus prohibiting us from taking advantage of many outdoor pursuits however the house was great for our big family Christmas gathering. We made use of the wood burner and the heating was excellent along with masses of hot water for everyone to take showers and baths! Thankyou SO MUCH for the welcome basket and Christmas trees we loved these touches and much appreciated them The two fridges were brilliant for our use so our fears of not having space were unfounded! Negatives - not many but would be good to have an additional comfy chair in lounge as the wicker one is not ( there is space) and ensure all pillows have protectors on. The decking needs a clean and there is loose / fallen wood panels on steps as you go up to the property We would all like to thank you so much for allowing us to stay with our dogs ( we were very careful and they were very good) and wish you a very happy new year. A place ( house/ home ) to most certainly recommend!!

“Greystone is an easy-going house in a brilliant location that’s not too precious for family use.”

Porch provides a great dumping ground for coats and sandy shoes and the utility room is very well appointed with laundry facilities. As we were a group of mature ladies, the twin rooms were a tad snug and could have used a few more hanging hooks, better reading lights etc. If we’d been even older or less mobile, the steps could be challenging as involve several changes of level. Kitchen had stacks of crockery etc and we had plenty of room round the dining table. Fabulous views and masses of living and garden space made up for any other shortcomings and the solar panels are a huge bonus in a good value holiday house.

Linda September 2023

“Great place to stay for a family birthday reunion.”

Very well kitted out, clean and comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Couple of small things - bathroom mirror in one bedroom didn't work and we couldn't find bin bags to put dirty linen in. Also, didn't seem to be any information on what the 'speaker' like discs in the ceilings were but kept us guessing! Would definitely stay again.

- Linda, September 2023
Julie September 2023

“Excellent accommodation.”

Views stunning from the balcony and front room. Open plan layout works well giving a feeling of space. Very comfortable beds. The sofa and seating in the front room are the most comfortable we have had in a holiday property. The kitchen had everything you would Need. Some of the cupboard fronts a little tired. Just be careful if you have a dropped Suspension on your car as the angle from the road to the drive is steep. The pubs in the town were excellent. If you want To go in the evening I would suggest you book. Lovely atmosphere. We would definitely recommend to anyone I imagine the property would be equally as good in the winter with the log burner on.

- Julie, September 2023
Chris July 2023

“A couple of the duvets had old blood staines on that was rather gross.”

We wouldn’t have seen them but we were required to strip the beds so noticed it then. Also the floors were pretty dirty.

- Chris, July 2023
Janet June 2023

“A wonderful, comfortable house with the most spectacular views.”

We had a great week with sunshine every day. One issue we had was dealt with very swiftly by the maintenance team . Would highly recommend.

“Wonderful location super comfortable property with everything you need”

- Linda, May 2023
Sally May 2023

“Nice property with stunning sea views.”

Nice to have plenty of space and a shower room for each room. Light and airy , two fridges and wine fridge is helpful. Reasonable rental which reflects some of the improvements which could be made. Will definitely stay again

- Sally, May 2023
Roger April 2023

“Magnificent location and views from the balcony.”

Problem of freezer and toaster quickly rectified by the Team. My only complaint is that I left behind a valuable grey cardigan behind a double bedroom door. No trace of it has been found. I am disappointed that it has not been returned to me.

- Roger, April 2023
Catherine December 2022

“Great accommodation, more spacious than it looked on the photos.”

Plenty of kitchenware for catering for a large group.

- Catherine, December 2022
Paul November 2022

“Very nice house and location, could do with a deep clean and a little maintenance.”

- Paul, November 2022
Susan September 2022

“The property was not very clean when we arrived.”

The cleaners had not cleaned under the rug in the lounge as we found an old crisp,the floors didn’t seem very clean. There are brambles on the steps to back garden. The decking needs attention slippery when wet. We still had a great holiday the sea views are amazing. The 5pm arrival is rather late.

- Susan, September 2022
Benjamin September 2022

“Good stay at a pleasant property with outstanding views and central Hope Cove location.”

My only feedback, and perhaps to do with being at the end of the season, is that cleaning pre arrival could have been better

- Benjamin, September 2022
Rosemary November 2021

“The view was wonderful and the location very good.”

I think you could emphasise that more in the description, I didn't realise how near the beach we were. Just a few niggles, 5pm is a late check in time. The recycling/waste disposal instructions were impossible to follow and it all went in the same bin anyway! Bit stingy with the toilet roll. Wasn't too happy to get a nagging email telling me to clean everything when we still had over 24 hours of our holiday to go. It was very hard to find out what was provided so I brought lots of things I didn't need to. We would definitely come back though.

- Rosemary, November 2021
Kevin September 2021

“A lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

A beautiful coastline for walks and the pub in the village did good food and really friendly service.

- Kevin, September 2021
Mick July 2021

“Greystone is a very comfortable and lovely place to stay.”

The view of Hope Cove is fantastic from the balcony.

- Mick, July 2021
Stuart July 2021

“The property was well appointed and in a great location.”

We really enjoyed the balcony.The layout of kitchen,dining area and lounge were very good.Therw was an abundance of plates,glasses and cutlery. The only challenge was waste disposal.It was clear when General waste had to be collected but not for plastic,cardboard,bottles and paper.

- Stuart, July 2021
Susan June 2021

“We had a great holiday.”

The house is lovely in a beautiful setting but the garden is not secure for pets or children. The garden needed attention there where brambles at calf level on the steps to the back garden, the grass needed cutting. The decking needs cleaning as it is very slippery when wet.some of the outside chairs on the decking need repairing or replacing.The cleaners need to make sure they are cleaning around the edges of the floors and that all dirty laundry is removed as a dirty bath towel was left hanging on back of main bedroom door. These points are not a complaint just things that should be looked at.

- Susan, June 2021
Sheila June 2021

“The bungalow is lovely and has a fantastic view over Hope Cove.”

The driveway is very steep so a low car may have problems. There were some issues with cleaning. The decking, garage and outside furniture need a good scrub and a sun umbrella would be nice. Inside the living room rug and one of the bedrooms were covered in dog hair.The barbeque is not gas fired as advertised but charcoal. The hob doesn't work properly which was mentioned last year by other guests The place is comfortable and well equipped and very quiet with a lovely garden and we enjoyed our stay here

- Sheila, June 2021
Catherine October 2020

“I had visited the property before.”

It is in a lovely spot and is well laid out but is looking a little dated.

- Catherine, October 2020
Rodney September 2020

“The cottage was as advertised and we had a great stay.”

We were a little disappointed with the Oven, hob and microwave as they did not work very well. The hob took for ages to heat up and the oven was slow the microwave didn't work very well. The kitchen taps were hanging by a thread and we were concerned they would start leaking. We were also told to clear all food from the cottage, but when we got there someone had left old food in the cupboards and fridge. Overall we had a brilliant stay and would certainly recommend this cottage and will certainly use Sykes cottages again. Thank you for looking after us in this difficult times. Rod Peacock.

- Rodney, September 2020

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback, We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday and liked the cottage. We are sorry you experienced a few issues during your stay. We are very grateful to you for highlighting these and we will be investigating each point. We do hope we can welcome you back to the area soon. Property Owner

“We were generally happy with our second stay at Greystones and had a good time.”

However We were concerned that it did not appear as clean as last year but that may be because it looks in need of a refurb. Also we did not think it Covid ready with numerous cushions, magazines, books and rug on the floor. Also I had to clean out the deep freeze which had some food and ice lollies left inside. Lastly we did report to the Salcombe office that on our last day when we stripped the bedding we were horrified to see the state of many of the mattress protectors. Many were stained and dirty. Had I known I would not have slept in the beds.

- Dawn, August 2020

Many thanks for your recent feedback, We are pleased to hear that you had a good time at Greystones. We are sorry for the cleanliness issues you experienced, we that this very seriously and we have relayed your comments on to the cleaner, who has now rectified the points raised. We do hope you will book with us again in the near future. Property Owner

Charlotte August 2019

“A fantastic house that was even better than it looked in the photos!”

!!! We love Hope Cove and have stayed many times. I think ‘Greystone’ is one of my favourite houses! There were 8 of us and we had 4 bathrooms which was perfect.

- Charlotte, August 2019
Dawn July 2019

“The house was amazing.”

So comfortable for a family get together. Well laid out and easy to live in and manage. Everything was convenient and yet we were tucked away in a quiet area of the village. The views and sunsets from the large balcony were incredible. The holiday was so good we have booked again for 2020.

- Dawn, July 2019
Tim March 2019

“Greystone was a well equiped home that felt more like a family home than a holiday home, magnificant views from the lounge and balcony and plenty of parking would definiteley like to visit again.”

Booking was also very easy.

Mrs M Hood Sep 2016

“I would love to have given 5 stars, as this was a fantastic place to spend our family holiday, with amazing views and excellent facilities.”

The only reason for only 4 stars is that all but one of the beds were well past their useful life, and were extremely uncomfortable, meaning we didn't sleep too well. I am sure that the owners will be in the process of renewing them, in which case the property deserves more than the 5 stars.

- Mrs M Hood, Sep 2016

We were pleased to read that you found this property to be a fantastic place to spend your family holiday, in such a great location with amazing views.

We do hope you choose to return to Greystone again. Property Owner

“Property was just amazing, We are already thinking about when we can book again.”

We had the most perfect wedding and to stay in the bungalow with such a wonderful view every morning was just wonderful. The bungalow was incredibly well stocked and we had everything we could possibly need.

ALAN Apr 2016

“Excellent property.”

Great location with beautiful view across to Bantham, Bigbury and points west! Well provided with cutlery and crockery. Completely open plan kitchen, diner and sitting room must be an absolute boon for larger groups (there were only two of us). Bedrooms are adequately sized and equipped. Ensuite showers will be a bit of a challenge for the huskier gentleman but there is an over the bath shower in the family bathroom if necessary.

- ALAN, Apr 2016

Thank you for your review regarding your stay at Greystone and your kind comments regarding our service. We are pleased that you enjoyed the property and it had everything to offer for your stay. We are happy to hear that you were able to experience the beautiful views throughout your holiday. We hope to see you back in the near future. Property Owner

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.

Limited mobile reception.

One well behaved dog permitted.

A 7KW vehicle charging point available upon request ONLY - £30 per charge
