However a few issues. In no particular order: 1. No spare key made security a challenge when separated. No phone signal made this harder (not that we expected good coverage in Hope Cove). 2. Wifi was next to non existent. No coverage in bedrooms or living spaces. Even standing right next to the router there was very limited coverage for browsing/messaging. Certainly not capable of any streaming. Interestingly other members of our family rented 'the moorings' and the wifi coverage at theirs was as good as we experience at home. 3. The cable for the DVD player (scart) did not fit the smart tv. As per issue 2 we were unable to watch any catch up etc. The purpose of our visit was other than to sit around watching films however, that would have been an option we would have liked in the evening.

“The only problem was the people above us.”

They sounded like they were marching up and down in boots, mainly later at night on a fairly regular basis and for a long time. Not good when trying to sleep. Also a fair amount of hammering went on one day. Hope cove is beautiful . Worth a visit.

Perfect apartment perfect location but very inconsiderate upstairs neighbours thumping about constantly and music blaring out till 3am not quite a relaxing holiday as we had hoped for

“Highly recommend 2 Armada House in Hope Cove.”

The location is perfect with beaches and South West Coastal Path just outside your door. The property is in excellent condition, clean and well equipped. Originally planned on staying in Salcombe but so glad we found this location and looking forward to returning next year. Nearby and within a 2 to 3 minute walk are multiple restaurants. Also, going in both directions on the Southwest Coastal Path are amazing walks. One direction leads to South Milton Sands beach(1 mile walk) and the other just stunning views of Hope Cove and beyond. Salcombe is a 15 minute drive, Also within 15 minutes is a Tesco and Morrison's.

“Great apartment.”

The only limitation is that one bedroom is adjacent to The Cove kitchen and the extractor fan from their kitchen. Thus it was noisy and smelled of fried food most of the time. Otherwise the apartment was excellent. The refuse collection failed, however the Salcombe office resolved this issue efficiently and effectively.

“The apartment was very well equipped, clean and extremely well situated, I would definitely return to this beautiful place.”

“Excellent apartment in a perfect location”

We spent Christmas in Hope Cove, This apartment is very spacious and very comfortable. it is also very clean and furnished to a high standard and very well maintained. The main bed was so comfortable. I would definitely like to come back and would definitely recommend it . It is perfect for a family of 4 plus dog! There was even a Christmas present for our dog.The beach is less than a minute’s walk and there is a very good cafe/ pub next door which serves food and drink all day and a great breakfast:

“The apartment is very well presented with good amenities and very clean.”

It is very well located for the beach.

It is great to hear that you found 2 Armada House so comfortable for your holiday. In such a great location for the beach, we hope you were able to enjoy the village of Hope Cove as well as the delights on offer throughout the rest of the South Hams. Your kind comments in respect of our team's service were much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back to this beautiful area very soon!

“The cottage was great and we would stay again.”

The only thing I would add is that a broadband facility would have been beneficial for checking out local sites amenities etc
Mr/J/Y

“Very spacious well equipped flat, very close to the beach, next door to The Cove cafe and Hope and Anchor pub, very handy as no wi-fi or phone signal available in flat so could use pub or cafe's (not in flat) unfortunately we couldn't open the bedroom windows due to smells from cafe extractor fan and dreadful views of the back of the cafe/stock plus the staff smoking in the yard.”

No outside space. Very noisy people upstairs late into the night. We left a day early. Nice flat but we wouldn't stay there again.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback in respect of 2 Armada House in Hope Cove. We have passed on your comments in respect of the property to the owners for their information and have already asked them about the possible provision of wifi. We do agree that wireless broadband is an essential service for most guests but not every holiday home owner currently supplies this option. We were sorry to hear that you left a day early but do hope you did take the opportunity to explore the beautiful areas surrounding Hope Cove.

There were some bug pluses - the apartment was very spacious, more so than the photos indicated and well furnished however, there was a faint feel and smell of dampness which became more obvious when getting home as all laundry smelt and flet damp
Mr GrumpyYorkshireman

“Lovely flat in a great location.”

Shame there is no parking - but that is clearly stated in the literature before booking. Wifi would be helpful. Can't believe there was no facility to make real coffee though. Nice view down to harbour from smaller window in lounge. Nice location - 2 mins from harbour, beaches and bars. Excellent cliff walking in both directions and within a short drive. Splendid beaches nearby. We'd certainly consider renting this property again.

2 Armada is in an excellent location and is very comfortable property for a family of 4, However, it is very noisy if the property above (5 Armada is occupied)

“Towels should be provided for nearly £900 per week - poor penny pinching.”

No wifi either, no facility to make fresh coffee

Many thanks for your feedback, I am disappointed the property did not meet your expectations. We work closely with our owners to ensure that all properties within the brochure/website are fairly and accurately described. Although the property description is accurate, in respect to towels and wireless broadband, we will pass on your feedback to the property owners.
In spite of the issues, mentioned above, we hope you had a lovely holiday and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

“The apartment is very well equipped and comfortably and attractively fitted out.”

Exceptionally convenient for the beaches, shop and pub. The main thing we missed but knew about in advance was the lack of an outside space of any sort to sit / eat on but this was more of an issue in our week due to quite a strong and chilly wind off the sea meaning that being in the beach was quite exposed. The lack of any Internet access is a bit of an issue and surely can be easily addressed? Fortunately as others have noticed the Hope and Anchor has WiFi which can be used from outside the pub or if you lean out of the window of the apartment! - not ideal though. Occasionally inconsiderate occupants upstairs were a bit noisy. The daily 9am ritual of feeding the car park £4 became part of the holiday experience. All in all a very good experience in a lovely seaside venue - full praise to the Hope and Anchor too for their friendly service.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of 2 Armada House in Hope Cove. We do agree that wireless broadband is an essential service for most guests but not every holiday home owner currently supplies this option. We will continue to encourage all owners in this respect and will foward your particular comments to the owner of this property. We were so pleased to hear that all in all you had a very good holiday in this lovely seaside village and do hope you choose to return. See you soon!

Following on from our earlier response, we are now investigating the installation of wifi (for 2017) on behalf of the owners together with the provision of a coffee machine.

“A lovely location and nice and clean.”

But For the price. I would expect a welcome pack including washing up sponge and washing up liquid. I would also expect an instruction manual to the property. With a nice welcome.

Many thanks for your feedback although I am disappointed that some aspects of the accommodation did not meet your expectations.
We do recommend to owners that all properties are set up on arrival with a range of basic 'essentials' for the start of a holiday including toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid etc. and for the most part they will go beyond the minimum to ensure guests have everything they need at the outset.
I am, therefore, sorry to read that one or two items were missing, and we will follow up with the housekeeper to ensure these matters are rectified as soon as possible.
Again, most owners do provide a welcome folder and/or instructions for appliances etc. to support our own detailed pack of information. We will investigate as such items can occasionally go astray during the course of a busy season.
Regards

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.

PARKING Unloading only is permitted in a bay to the rear of the property. Parking is available in the nearby village car park at an additional cost (approximately 50 yards away). One well behaved dog permitted All bed linen is supplied. You will need to bring your own towels, tea towels and oven gloves
