Comfortable, very well equipped cottage set in lovely grounds, plenty of room for the kids to play.. The main double bedroom feels a little small and has a sliding doorway through to the bunk bed room, but the bed was comfortable. The quilts are very thin but the electric wall mounted heaters are adjustable. No bath, but a baby bath and high chair are in the cottage (no need to request these). The sink tap has scolding water instantly so be careful. We went off high season and all the other cottages were empty so it was very quiet and great value for money.. I have stayed in many holiday cottages and this is one of the better ones. There are 2 sets of steps down from the car park, but you could also get to the cottage via the sloping lawns (the complex owner drives his sit on lawn mower down and through the hole in the hedge to access the lawns). There is 1 dedicated parking space per cottage, however the car park adjoins a lawn with no kerb which enabled me to park my boat easily, with the owners permission, if you have 2 cars there is street parking relatively close. Hope Cove has 2 beaches, 1 (the biggest) allows dogs on leads all year round, though we saw many off the lead, the other beach seasonally doesn't allow dogs. Boats can be launched at either end of the larger beach, 1 has a slipway down to hard sand which can be used even though it is for the life boat), £6 per launch & recovery or £35 for the week, the harbour master at the hut will allow you to leave boats at his end of the beach for a fee, but you would have to man handle it across dry sand as I believe cars are not allowed on the beach. Alternative beach launching at South Sands in Salcombe (very limited, if any parking), or pay to launch and park at Salcombe's main slipway. Alternatively there are excellent free public slipways at Mount Batten centre in Plymouth where you can park for free on the street or the car park a short walk away (not the Mount Batten car park)

The listing did not mention the number of steps at the property which was for my wife rather difficult as she has severe knee problems.. The second day in I decided to sweep the floor, in doing so brushed up quite a large amount of dust which really surprised me as it had looked fairly clean. The place could not be described as a cottage, more like a mid-terraced house, and like a caravan without it's wheels. Small, and badly positioned television, but the rest of the accommodation facilities were very good. Local pub was walkable which was good. ***Owners response***Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are sorry that you did not realise from the property description that there are steps from the car park to the front door, we will update the property description to further highlight this. We would like to thank you for highlighting that the facilities were very good as we make an effort to maintain a high standard. We are also pleased that you noted the excellent location of the property walking distance to the local facilities (and sea) which is one of the property's key features. There is a sloped path and six steps from the car park to the cottage and that the property is not suitable for those with mobility issues. We sincerely wish that for your next holiday you find a property with access more appropriate to your requirements but hope that you enjoyed your holiday in the beautiful Hope Cove.

We all had a fantastic time.. Having 3 cottages in a row really worked for us as we had age ranges from 2 to 70 so having our own space was fab. really near the beach, great pub and restaurants with good selection of food. Lifeguard on duty so didn't have to worry too much about the teenagers getting washed out to sea although they didn't take heed of the notice of hidden rocks and consequently got a cut toe but the pretty lifeguard came and put a plaster on the 16 year old and all was well......
