School Cottage, located in the picturesque village of Galmpton is just half a mile from the beautiful sandy beaches at nearby Hope Cove, along with its popular pubs/eateries and the village shop. The popular towns of Salcombe, Thurlestone and Kingsbridge are also all within a 10 minute drive.
This utterly charming cottage has stunning rural views from most rooms, a beautiful country garden with deck looking towards the sea, and private parking. Sympathetically renovated to retain plenty of its original character yet modernised with a gorgeous kitchen and stylish bath/shower rooms. With a conservatory to make the most of the long summer days and an woodburner for keeping cosy on winter nights this property is very well suited for any season of the year, and although spacious and comfortable for 6 guests, it is also perfectly cosy enough for a couple to enjoy too!

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.
