Paddler's Rest

We had such a lovely stay here!

Comfy, cosy, and well equipped! Beautiful view! So clean! We will be stay again! Thank you.

Washing machine was so dirty would not use it.

Roasting tins old, we bought our own, crockery cracked and crackled. Internet kept going down so TV watching was frustrating.

Our fifth stay at Paddler's Rest - We love Hope Cove and surrounding area.

Been coming here for 45 years.

Thank you for a lovely stay, a perfect location for a group of six of us to swim & have a relaxing weekend.

The house was perfect for us, country, cosy & everything we needed. We will be back! Thank you!

We had a very comfortable stay in Paddlers rest.

It was warm and well equipped. Some slight problems with the drains in the shower so it was more like a foot bath! Someone came and cleared the back entrance by the steps and moved my swimming stuff I'd put there for a rinse and the hose attachment. I found them on the back wall behind the shed which had been moved and couldn't reach them without a long brush and a help from someone a lot taller than me. It would have been polite to let us know as we were in at the time. Otherwise good value for money. Ali

We enjoyed our stay at Paddler's Rest - up until we checked out.

The house is comfortable, well equipped in a good location - albeit a challennging walk uphill for older parents locationup until we were leaving. Unfortunately, when we were stripping the bunk beds, we noticed a black damp patch in the right hand corner of the bottom bedroom. As my daughter had slept in there for 4 nights, this rather tainted our stay. Loved Hope Cove but would choose different accommodation next time.

The accommodation was very good & good location.

Only complaint was there was supposed to be some milk in fridge which there wasn’t There also was supposed to be a welcome hamper but there was just a empty box in kitchen

We thought the property was excellent.

Perfect location, quiet and within easy reach of everything. It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Lovely property, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Really enjoyed our few days here. Can recommend a Devon tea at The Cottage Hotel on the terrace. Fish & Fizz at the Hope & Anchor and they also do a great Sunday lunch. South Milton Sands is worth the effort, Beautiful beach.

Can’t wait to return next year if not sooner.

I absolutely love Hope cove and have been several times before. I used to stay in the same building but in a different property and it’s amazing how they have changed the lay out slightly which makes the property space more usable. It is also decorated and presented at a very high standard.

We loved the location, property and being able to fully appreciate Hope Cove.

We were invited to the Hope Cove VE day celebrations, spent fun days on the beach, joined in with the people of Hope Cove at St Clements, a small, but perfectly formed chapel overlooking the bay. Drank beer and wine at the Hope and Anchor, and the 'The Cove' overlooking the sunset and beach. Watched the kids dam the freshwater stream. Hours of fun and happiness. Guess we will be back :)

It was generally good.

Few things could make it better. Downstairs toilet seat not fitted correctly, had to hold up when in use. 2nd bedroom lacked storage as a lot full of house stuff like sheets. Kitchen missing a few things like extra chopping board and sieve. As reported light in ensuite needs replacing so it was quite dark bit ok. Hard to use ensuite and plugs for drying hair. Key safe hard to open. Clear out and bin old tatty leaflets, replace with better ones. It was clean and had a lot of useful stuff. Good car parking.

A lovely property in a great location.

Comfortable beds, well equipped and lovely little extras like a sensor light on the landing. Newly appointed showers and a spacious main bedroom that could accommodate a travel cot really easily. Nice views across to hillside covered with sheep and the sea to the side. Short walk along a side road and footpath to the beach.

Lovely property!

I'll be delighted to go again. Location is great, literally a five min walk to the cove itself. Superb views from the main bedroom. Facilities wise, they've thought of everything you might need. Photo's don't do it justice, really lovely home from home.

When we arrived the property had a really musty smell especially downstairs, we assumed it had not been used for some time.

There was no visitors book so we didn't know when it was last occupied. We were able to leave the front doors open when we were in the property as the weather was good and this resolved the issue for us. There was a folder from Coast and Country but very little about the house. We worked out the wall heater in the lounge that we needed to use a couple of times. Plenty of hot water but again nothing to tell us there would be, timings etc. Unusually for a property, nothing to tell us what to do with rubbish, re cycling etc. We found the site bins at the opposite end of the building to where we were parked by chance and then found the key for them in the dining end of the lounge. We were then able to put our recycling and rubbish in the appropriate bins. The bed was comfortable. Thank you for the welcome pack.

The property was so lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.

The only thing we would comment negatively upon is that we were disappointed that the “ outstanding sea views “ referred to didn’t reflect the glimpse of the sea from the bedroom window. The pictures are deceiving on the brochure.

The floor needs a good mopping.

Apart from the floor in the downstairs area, everything was very clean and well appointed. I was the first one there and straightaway any socks I wore around the house would be brown on the bottom. Such a shame as everything else was perfect! It was a short walk to beach and path and had everything we needed.

Beautiful place, well equipped, lots of space, clean and comfortable:-)

Great holiday apartment.

We loved our stay.

Lovely property, walking distance to the beach and pub.

Would highly recommend.

Although we had a lovely week at the house and it’s in a good position (7 minutes walk to the beach) with beautiful views I’d just like to report that the house does need a good clean and sort out.

The oven was filthy along with the kitchen bin. The kitchen drainer doesn’t drain and was filthy in the drainer outlet and the plug in the kitchen sink doesn’t work either. The scissors were broken and the cafetière had no filter top. The drawers in the kitchen and living room are filled with random rubbish, leaving no space to store anything. There was mould on the skirting board in the downstairs bedroom and widows in the main bedroom. The air drier was cheap and inadequate and kept falling over and was not fit for purpose especially as it’s a house for six people. The lock on the upstairs main bathroom didnt work. Also the carpets do need a good Clean, there is a little vacuum but it wasn’t really strong enough for the carpets.

Very comfortable duplex apartment with modern kitchen and bathroom/shower room.

The property was clean and provided all necessary conveniences. The welcome pack was very much appreciated after a long journey. Lovely area and close to amenities. All the local pubs are dog friendly. Our only issue was that the beach at Hope Cove was closed to dogs after 10 am so we had to travel to Thurlstone Beach which was a short drive away or you could walk along the coastal path to Thurlestone but please be aware the cliffs are eroding and there are sheer drops so to keep away from the cliff edges and keep dogs on a lead. Salcombe was a short drive away also with lots of shops and restaurants and very dog friendly too.

Lovely place in a very nice village.

Nice clean property and the hamper was a lovely surprise. Would return to Hope Cove again. Only negative was shower in en suite leaked on main floor so did not use it as did not want water leaking downstairs.

Prior to our stay we saw a very bad review of the property which worried us None of it was true.

The place was spotless, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. We and our dogs had a brilliant stay.

This property is not a cottage.

Although,the property was warm and well positioned for the area it had not been cleaned properly and the fridge was full of water. The hand held shower head was broken, the hair dryer glowed bright red when used (only once). There was a lack of toilet rolls and bin bags, something that could not be sorted out straight away due to Christmas closure’s. If we new this property was in an apartment block with noisy people staying in the property above us, we would have not booked our stay here.
