A word from our owners
Hope Cove is a wonderful, charming village and we are lucky enough to be in it’s very heart. As a family, our real joy is that our children can walk out the front door and onto the beaches, safe to explore and play. In the summer months they don’t wear shoes at all and are always sandy and happy (and usually smeared in ice cream!) It’s the ultimate barefoot hideaway and the sunsets are quite extraordinary - Preferably enjoyed on the deck with a chilled glass of something. Bliss!
