Nelsons Watch is a delightful and quintessential thatched cottage located just a short stroll from the seaside village of Hope Cove (approx 900m from front door to the beach and heart of Hope Cove). This pretty cottage has been styled with beautiful soft furnishings and offers a restful and charming holiday experience. If you are looking to relax on the sunny terrace, cosy up in the comfortable lounge or take in the scenery of the South West Coast Path – this is the perfect place! Primrose Cottage (sleeping 4) is also next door, if you were looking to book for a larger party.
Hope Cove is a short saunter down the country lane, or a few minutes’ drive, where you will be spoilt for choice by two sandy beaches, several eateries and the village shop. Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are all within easy reach offering lovely boutiques, scenic walks and many renowned restaurants.
The cottage enjoys a roof terrace with garden furniture and lovely views across the valley, accessed via 10 steep steps from the back door.
Hope Cove is one of our most popular and sought-after destinations. A quaint old fishing village sat in picture postcard surroundings, it is home to some of the finest coastal holiday cottages in Devon. Hope Cove is the perfect location for those wanting a traditional British seaside holiday in a stunning, natural setting. Formed around the twin villages of Inner and Outer Hope, the cove benefits from two golden sandy beaches, and an abundance of rock pools for the kids to potter about in, looking for signs of marine life.The beach at Inner Hope often offers perfect conditions for safe body boarding.
Hope Cove is home to the Hope and Anchor pub and The Cove, an uber-cool café bar that serves late breakfasts and sunset suppers just a stone's throw from the scenic beach. The Hope Cove Gallery exhibits wonderful local art and crafts, and is a great place to pick up a souvenir or just have a lazy browse to escape the summer sun. Alternatively, treat yourself to an ice-cream, find a quiet bench and watch the waves gently roll into the bay. The adventurous might be inclined to set forth in search of little-known Beacon Beach, where they are likely to find themselves alone with only the gulls for company, while walkers can take the coast path east towards Bolberry and beyond, or west to South Milton Sands for a swim followed by a meal at the fabulous Beach House.
Quaint Thurlestone with its choice of stunning beaches is just a short drive away or can be reached by foot by following the coast path to the west. Bantham and Salcombe are also nearby, and you won't have to venture far to take in the rest of the South Devon countryside.
A holiday cottage in Hope Cove is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a memorable holiday on the Devon coast.
