Holiday Cottages in Hope Cove

Tucked between rugged headlands and the sparkling waters of Bigbury Bay, Hope Cove is a picturesque seaside village with a wonderfully peaceful feel. With its thatched cottages, fishing boats and two sandy beaches, this beautiful corner of South Devon invites you to slow down, breathe in the sea air and leave everyday life behind.

Summer brings a cheerful bustle, with families building sandcastles, walkers pausing for refreshments and beach days stretching into leisurely evenings. Browse the artwork and gifts at Hope Cove Gallery, pick up coffee and pastries from The Curator or settle down for a meal and a drink at one of the village’s welcoming pubs or hotels. A handy village shop and Post Office keeps those holiday essentials close by.

The South West Coast Path runs through Hope Cove, offering spectacular walks towards South Milton Sands and Thurlestone, or around Bolt Tail for far-reaching sea views. Whether you’re planning a family seaside holiday, a romantic escape or a walking break in the South Hams, there’s something special about returning here as the beach quietens and the evening light settles over the bay.
