Region: Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?

Town: The picturesque and unspoiled village of Hope Cove lies in the sheltered curve of Bigbury Bay on Devon’s south coast. A choice destination for families, the two beaches offering soft sand and rock pools for sandcastle building and fishing for small crabs. 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. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards Bigbury-on-sea in one direction and the coastal resort of Salcombe in the other.

May Cottage

Excellent location, could be a great house to stay but a little tired looking interior with quite a few small little niggles.The main problem was no heating and trying to phone someone to fix it was a nightmare! Took about 3 hours to eventually talk to someone but after that it was sorted out quickly, just needed a phone number that was easy to find and be able to talk to someone. That aside it is a lovely place to stay and has an excellent pub a 10 minute walk away!
Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025
