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:
“Beautiful well equipped appt, very stylish decor, very convenient location for exploring south devon”
“Lovely property,we were lucky and did'nt have anyone above us,which could cause a problem.”

Pub next door which is fine,however we visited in September,I'm not sure what it would be like in the middle of the summer.No parking with property which we were aware of,a parking permit would be good.We did try to contact the number in the car park but couldn't get a response.Hope cove is a beautiful part of Devon.Will definitely return.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

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

“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.

“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

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
