Tracey 
“We absolutely loved Hope Cove and our week in Quay Cottage.”
Location was fabulous..and we had a very enjoyable week and would definitely return. However.. we had no WiFi all week and were not updated about the issue. We were surprised that there was no hairdryer in the house and the dishwasher is rusty. Minor things really but could all do with being fixed.

Philip “The spiral staircase was tighter than we anticipated!”
Also would have been good to have cooker instructions. But a fabulous place to stay x
- Philip, May 2021C “Quay Cottage was a great location.”
Having stayed in the village many times over the years. Was nice to light up the fire in the evenings, very warm it was, even coal was provided, the logs we took with us. Just one niggle was the spiral stairs to upper floor; proved to be tight taking luggage up. This did not worry us but if you are of a delicate disposition it may not be ideal. Some instructions for the cooker would be a help, ( non available), did a King Alfred on my curry! Anyway overall a very enjoyable location, and if we do come again we hope the dishwasher is back in action !!
- C, September 2020Katrina “The cottage was even better than the pictures right by the sea and with only ( very nice) neighbours on one side.”
We had a slight issue with the lock half way through the holiday but this was sorted out very swiftly and a new lock fitted in a couple of hours. Hope Cove is beautiful, we had wonderful weather and the cottage had every comfort - would lovely to stay again.
- Katrina, August 2020Dawn “Just that the yale lock needs changing.”
I was left 20 mins trying to open the door. On looking at others feedback, i can see the same problem at least 3 times. Understand that the salt and sand can carrode the lock. However it needs to be changed on a regular basis. The caretaker Bo was excellent, and put grease in the lock the next day, when i met her.
- Dawn, November 2019Elisabeth “This is a fantastic, cosy cottage in a superb location with sea views.”
Just a stone's throw from the beach it is extremely well-equipped and everything worked perfectly. Two beaches and all the village amenities are right on the doorstep. This was our second stay in this cottage and we are definitely hoping to stay again, it is absolutely perfect.
- Elisabeth, October 2019Brian “I would remove the old rusty bench outside incase child injures itself on the sharp edges .”
Apart from that it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and cottage is in a great position
- Brian, September 2019Ken “Quay Cottage was just lovely, basic but everything you needed was there.”
The main thing is the location, its just hard to beat. The owners have done much to give it a seaside charm and it works very well. For us it was a spur of the moment booking, but wow, what a great choice! I'm sure everybody says this but we can't wait to go back, Hope Cove is a beautiful spot with great facilities, beach and coastal walks, we are a couple in our 70's and we felt young again just being in the atmosphere of Hope Cove, thank you Coast & Country Cottages!
- Ken, August 2019Elisabeth “It was a fabulous cosy cottage with everything we needed.”
We loved it so much we have booked to go again!
- Elisabeth, April 2019Ms Julie Lanbden “The cottage was in a lovely position and our stay was comfortable.”
The window in the small room with the bunkbeds (which we did not use) does not shut and need repairing. If the weather had been colder this could have been annoying and also wasteful. It would have been great to have some instructions about the heating as this came on without notice. It was not a problem but it would have been good to be able to regulate it. If the owners could add wifi this would be perfect particularly as there is no mobile reception at this point in Hope Cove. Otherwise it was lovely to visit and we enjoyed a short stay.
- Ms Julie Lanbden, Sep 2017“Very cute little cottage,well equipped and good outside space”
- , Aug 2017“Excellent location.”
Perfect for a family of four.
- , Aug 2016“We feel that having information regarding how the cooker and heating workedfor the cottage would of been very helpful.”
There was also no information regarding having to pay to use the public car park, as the property had none. This proved to be costly! But despite that we had a lovely week.
- , Oct 2015Mr ANDY Shaw “Excellent place to stay for a relaxing break.”
Perfect location and you want for nothing.
- Mr ANDY Shaw, Aug 2015“A lovely 2 bed cottage, with spiral staircase, so not suitable for young children or disabled.”
Very Clean and fully equiped. Has a front sunny garden with bench. No allocated parking. Bought a weekly parking ticket from South Hams Council for £32, but car park is 10 min walk, quicker if the tide is out as you can then on the flat across beech instead. Will book again as it only takes 2 mins to take the kayak on the water.
- , Jul 2015“Lovely place but could do with a little maintenance.”
The upstairs doors all squeaked really badly (no fun at night). And the blind in the bathroom seems to have been broken for some time. The shower rail looks like it's about to collapse. Really only minor things as the place is so cosy and so fabulously situated!

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.
No pets permitted. Limited mobile signal in Hope Cove. Towels not supplied. Garden not enclosed.
This property offers the following short breaks:
- Winter
- Off-season
- Last minute
