Hope Cove is a small, sheltered village on the South Devon coast, with two sandy bays, cliffs rising on either side and a relaxed, family-friendly feel. A large holiday cottage in Hope Cove lets multiple families or friends stay close to the beach, with enough room for everyone to have their own space while still being only a short walk from the sea, the Hope & Anchor pub and the South West Coast Path in both directions.
Here, mornings might begin with a clifftop walk towards Thurlestone, while others take a slower start with coffee and sea views before meeting on the sand for a swim, a paddleboard session or a bit of rock-pooling at low tide. Later, the group can head back to the house to cook together, use a garden or terrace for barbecues, or stroll down to the Hope & Anchor or the Cove Café Bar for supper and a final wander along the shore. With its two bays, walkable layout and easy access to coastal paths, Hope Cove is especially appealing for larger groups looking for a straightforward, sociable seaside base.
