Grand View

Just returned from a fantastic week at Hope Cove, and Grand View provided a perfect base for our family of four.

The pics honestly don’t do it justice and it’s a 2 minute walk to the beach. Lovely sized living area and two good bedrooms. Bathroom has a good shower, although don’t be forth in line for a shower, the hot water will be used up! Good parking for one car with steps down to a useful hard standing outside the flat. With storage for beach stuff etc. The balcony is an extra treat with excellent views. The whole place was prepped really well and we would be happy to go back there.

We had a great two weeks in the property, with easy access to the coastal path and the facilities of Hope Cove.

A comfortable property with good facilities (a fan would be a helpful addition with the heat), and a great location.

The accommodation is very sited with easy access to Hope Cove and cliff paths etc.

. The flat has a view of the sea, sunsets and the village and is very peaceful. Itself is well served with with self catering facilities although odd items like tea pot cosy (obviously minor but useful), would be nice. It is more than a basic and comfortable arrangement but is nor pretentious. We have used this flat a number of times now, which shows that it is a good place and value for money. If you not looking for a fancy place, this will do you very nicely, I would suggest. Enjoy.

Very pleased with our stay at Grand View, easy to park, it was peaceful, fantastic views, property and appliances were clean, a well equipped kitchen (oven gloves) would have been good.

We really enjoyed our stay and would book again. A note for the owner: The bathroom basin does not retain the water, it slowly drains away. The plug may need an adjustment.

Great location and view.

5 minutes into Hope and the pub and beaches.

We found Granview clean, with everything we needed for a holiday.

It has nice views and is only a few minutes walk from the coastal path. There is a new shower and more efficient water system in the bathroom. There was also a new table and chairs on the balcony. We would definitely like to stay there again. J&K Note for the owners only (Not to be published): The only negative point is with the dishwasher. The plastic coating on the steel shelves is missing in large areas. This results in rust dust being left on the clean dishes.

Lovely apartment with wonderful views from the front windows.

Superb shower in a new looking bathroom. All the equipment necessary for catering for a small family. Comfortable sofas and arm chair in lounge area. The twin bedroom would benefit from net curtains for privacy from the balconies opposite. Also the seating round the table needs some more cushioning. Despite those comments we would consider staying at Grand View again.

This is a nice comfortable apartment with lovely outlook and suitably sized for us two as to not feel cramped.

Facilities are good and the place has nice unpretentious homely comforting peaceful feeling, undoubtly helped by the Hope Cove setting and environment which is special. All in all a nice environment to switch off and enable one to enjoy the experience. We have regularly used this apartment over the years and will do so again whilst thoroughly recommending it to others, (just leave some space for us to fit in please!).

An excellent base for a walking holiday.

The apartment was excellent kitchen well equipped and the bathroom and shower were good. Always hot water whatever time you used it. Well situated for walking into the village where there is a shop and pub. I felt the single bed duvet was a bit light as the evenings are still quite chilly but I found a blanket and put over the bed. Beds very comfy. Lovely bistro table on the balcony which was lovely to sit and watch the sea and the sheep in the field in front of us. Hope to go back again.

The only things that had been made ready for our arrival were.

Clean towels, bedding and bins changed. The floors, windows, bathroom & kitchen were filthy. Tumbleweeds of hair on the carpets. Microwave splattered with food. Out of date food in kitchen cupboard. Washing machine black inside drawer & drum. Kettle full of lime scale. Several "tide marks" around the inside of the bath. Black gunk in and under the shower screen rubber strip & in the basin overflow. Filthy toothbrush holder. Photographs were sent to your company. After we had been ignored for days. To be told that lime scale doesn't happen in Devon & to be offered a new kettle was offensive. Completely unacceptable to be offered £50 off a next holiday if we booked again with your company when we had to deal with this.

With wall to wall sunshine Grand View was vertically grand!

Thankyou for lovely stay. Only edition to the flat would of been a few door stops.

Immaculately clean, cosy and well kept apartment, which was a pleasure to stay in.

The beds were comfortable, shower was great and we loved the views from the living room. It was a very convenient location, with a short stroll to the pub, beach and costal path. Thank you

Exactly what we wanted.

Lovely apartment in a great location.

Really fantastic place, my 3rd time staying here.

Good location, close to the beach, parking as well, and bathroom recently refurbished.

A lovely warm bungalow.

Great views from the balcony for our morning coffee/evening GnT ! Clean and inviting on arrival, lots of information on the local area (and an ordinance survey map which we always love as walkers!) Kitchen facilities were great too - pans that were actually non- stick and sharp cutting knives … Comfy beds too A great property to be recommended. Thanks for a lovely break.

Lovely flat fantastic view .

Loved the balcony it was lovely looking at the view and watching the birds . Comfortable beds . Dodgy fridge but that’s fine it’s a holiday let .

Firstly the listing was very inaccurate.

The reference to “Blue Bay Apartments” should be removed as the building did not display this and this name only appeared on the dustbin! Spent 15+ mins looking for the place. The listed DVD/CD/radio were non existent. We were denied access to the promised terrace and BBQ but the lower garden was available. The hob needs upgrading and the fridge badly needs to be replaced as it is falling apart. The carpet in the living area was heavily stained and a mat placed inside the balcony door had a large tear. I caught my foot in this and was catapulted across the room. The whole apartment needs decluttering. As in all old buildings soundproofing is non existent. On a positive note the beds were very comfortable and clean, the balcony a real bonus and the location excellent. I do not recommend this apartment.

Great 2 bed accommodation.

Has all the facility required. Parking for one vehicle is a bonus as well!

Grand View is a very well equipped apartment in a super location.

The views from the lounge are exceptional - especially down to the sea from the balcony. Good kitchen, comfortable beds and excellent shower with plenty of hot water. A grab rail in the bath might be a useful addition. The bath room door latch needs some attention as the only way to keep the door closed was to use the small bolt - a very minor niggle tbh. We had a fabulous week - the easy access to the SW Coastal path is a real bonus. We will certainly be booking Grand View again.

Excellent apartment with lovely view.

Comfy bed and sofa. Will visit again.

The apartment was super clean and very comfortable.

It was well equipped and the shower was nice and powerful. The catch on the twin bedroom door was a bit weak and the door rattled with the windows open. That is the only thing that I noticed, it did not spoil the stay and we had a fabulous time in Hope Cove. Thank you

We reported on our first day the badly stained carpet in the living area and the fact that we could only open 2 of the fanlights and none of the other windows apart from the sliding patio doors on the balcony.

We find it highly unlikely that these matters have not been reported before. We have said to others who have asked about our holiday that the apartment was "OK". It was rather tired looking apart from the settee and chair in the living area.The kitchen was well equipped. It would have been difficult to store anything in the wardrobes as they were full of cleaning items and the water tank/heater. Where we would have put cases if there had been 4 of us I don't know.

Really nice accommodation, great location, with parking and only 5 minutes to the beach!

Great view from the balcony to enjoy the morning coffee.

Lovely views clean apartment.

Comfy beds. Everything you needed. Only couple of bad parts Twin room window rattled all might when windy. Vacuum bag needs replacing as it smells. No good for anyone with mobility problems as steep stairs from car park. Also steep to access to cove.

As warned by other hirers the double bed was most uncomfortable as was the sofa.

Needs an update. Too much stuff in the cupboards for four people, packed food left behind and the wardrobes difficult to use due to untidy storage of cleaning equipment and materials. Shaving light and bathroom extractor not working. Location and view from balcony superb.

We were generally pleased with the accommodation.

It suited us for a short stay. The flat was very clean, tidy and the kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of utensils and crockery. Bedding and towels were nice but the double bed was uncomfortable. The sofa is probably nearing the end of its life too. Upon arrival we found the fridge had been switched off and the freezer section had defrosted which then had to be cleaned out. We found the kitchen heater and bathroom mirror light do not work. Also the bathroom extractor comes on but does not open to allow steam out.

The apartment is really nice , the front door & window sills were in need of a good clean , especially when they had five hours !

Inside was fine . The living area is so bright , with the patio doors going out to the balcony , fantastic views over Hope Cove . The only negative was the settee definitely needs replacing , so lumpy & uncomfortable . Would happily return to Grand View .

Having stayed in this particular property for 4 consecutive years this was our worst experience.

We expected the property to be very clean, given Covid and the extra time needed for arrival. The property had been cleaned superficially but when using the kitchen equipment the cupboards, drawers and contents were dirty which is unacceptable.. The furniture and decoration of the property are grubby and tired and need to be updated given the level of weekly rental. The light above the sink did not work along with some other items. Consequently we will not be staying at that property again but will return to Hope Cove next year and rent a more acceptable property.

very pleasant apartment.

well equipped. only two minor issues. arrived to get in at 5 and (after a horrible drive) we really wanted showers but there was no hot water. The boost button didn't seem to do anything. did heat up that evening once the economy 7 kicked in. hardest sofa in existence. appears to be stuffed with rocks. but had a great week and will be using you again.

This is our 8th year of staying in Grand View and we are very happy with it.

If we could say one thing that would be a big improvement would be the replacement of the heavy glass table and heavy steel chairs. They are cumbersome and take up too much room. Something more simple and a smaller table would make a big difference. Otherwise we love everything about the property and will be booking it again.

The apartment was very well positioned for the beach with a view of the sea.

It was well equipped and comfortable, meeting our needs. We were very happy there and didn’t want to leave!

Great accommodation.

Perfectly situated for a short walk into the cove but also for drives and walks around the area. Clean and comfortable and everything you require for a home away from home. Small local shop closes quite early so ensure you pick up basics on way if arriving later.

Our 4th year in this property and it suits us perfectly. We will book again for next year.

A few minor issues, overall a very comfortable property, and enjoyable stay.

Property excellent. Well fitted out.

As above. Lovely view from balcony and comfortable lounge.

Excellent flat in a good position. We had good warm weather but it meant the duvets were too high a tog. Minor quibble, would stop there again no problem.

Well provided for. Economy7 heating means hot morning, closed windows for a reasonable temperature evenings. Small living space means would be OK for a couple to stay indoors when weather is bad, but could be claustrophobic for bigger family. Lots of facilities, washing machine, dishwasher, iron, beach toys, dvds, etc. Great!
