About this property
Cove View (formerly known as ‘Thurlestone’) is a three-bedroom apartment within Hope Beach House. Located in the quaint fishing village of Hope Cove, there are fabulous sandy beaches and the South West Coast Path almost on the doorstep. Hope Cove’s local pub and café serving good food are also nearby, whilst the popular sailing town of Salcombe with its quayside, restaurants and shops, is just a 15-minute drive away. With so much to do, this is the perfect location for a seaside break all year round!
Cove View has a light and sunny open-plan sitting/dining room with lovely sea views, and is comfortably furnished with two three-seater sofas, a coal-effect fire, flatscreen TV and DVD player. The dining area has an extending wooden table seating up to six with a large bay window. The newly fitted kitchen is equipped with white gloss units, a four-ring halogen hob and electric oven, an integrated dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and fridge/freezer. There are three comfortable bedrooms, the first being a master with King-size bed and a modern en suite shower room. The second bedroom has a King-size bed, whilst the third is a twin with two singles. In addition, there is a tiled family bathroom. As a baby friendly property, a travel cot and high-chair are also available for guests (cot bedding is not provided).

Cove View provides a very comfortable, well equipped and convenient base for couples or families looking to explore this popular location and the wider surrounding area.
The picturesque fishing village of Hope Cove lies in a sheltered bay on South Devon’s coastline, offering superb views over Bigbury Bay and Burgh Island. A choice destination for families, two beaches offer soft sand for sandcastle building, plus rock pools great for entertaining children. 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, including the popular café bar ‘The Cove’. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards the sandy beaches of Thurlestone and Bigbury-on-Sea in one direction, and the sailing town of Salcombe in the other.

The property however needs some TLC. There was a delay before any responses to our main issue was received and could be addressed. The main issue we had was an awful smell coming from the property as soon as you entered and damp carpets in the main bedroom. This was assessed 4 days after our arrival and treated on day 5!!! Reported early day 2 after we tried to rectify ourselves by airing the property, etc. The signal is non existent, so communicating with coast and country was via email as they never answered the phone. Since being treated by cleaning the carpets it was much improved but the smell had started to return. Paint was also flaking off the wall in the lounge area and overall could do with a full deep clean.
