We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Apartment 4 Carswell Cove. Three good friends who came to enjoy the coastal walks, beaches and all the fantastic foodie hot spots. The apartment was very clean and tidy, lovely views over the coastline and everything we needed to enjoy time exploring as well as evenings in. The team were very helpful and responsive when we had questions or any issues. 5 stars

We had an absolutely fabulous 2-week stay in Carswell Quarters. We loved the apartment, the situation, everything about it. We properly made ourselves at home and loved things like the Nespresso machine and have now bought our own! We have no hesitation in rating it 5 and would love to return.

Definitely a 5 stars from us! We had the most wonderful stay in the beautiful Carswell Apartment. The views were gorgeous, the apartment was immaculate and comfortable and we loved the welcome package. Most of which was demolished within two days. Our dog Bartlet also loved everything and made himself at home very quickly. Being able to step out onto the South West Coastal Path in an instant was such a bonus and we enjoyed walking to the Beach House for lunch and trying the other eateries in Hope Cove. We will definitely be back!!

We had a fantastic break at Carswell Cove. The location was superb and perfect for easy access straight onto the Coast Path for frequent walks with our woofer. And the uninterrupted views are to die for. The arrival information from Finest Stays was very helpful. Although The Lanterns was not difficult to find, the instructions for driving to the location and the photos of what to look for, the parking space and the steps up to the front door etc were a nice touch. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and furnished. The bathrooms and kitchen especially have the "wow" factor.

This is the second summer our family has stayed at Apartment 4, Carswell Cove, and we enjoyed our stay just as much as last time. The apartment is perfectly coastal chic, with all creature comforts, and it was so easy to slip into Devon life. The view from the balcony is quite literally breathtaking. Many moments were spent just gazing out. The location is brilliant for picturesque Hope Cove, Thurlestone Beach, and within easy driving distance to Kingsbridge and Salcombe. We enjoyed our stay enormously, and will most probably be back again next year!

Fantastic location with great views, extremely useful to have 2 car parking spaces! The separate storage area for wetsuits etc is a fantastic facility. There is a high standard of fixtures and fittings throughout and a good sized living space with lovely quality towels and bedding. The impressive size of the large bath towels deserve a special mention! Very comfortable beds

Brand new property done to the highest of standards. Lovely setting, great location and the dry room for wetsuits and sandy beach stuff as well as the wash area for dogs and sandy stuff was a great touch that felt great added value
Mr Tom

We had a great time in Hope Cove. The apartment is essentially brand new so everything was pristine and the location and views were brilliant. Communication was great and we felt like if there was anything we needed, we just had to ask. Would definitely stay again!
Mr Hatherall
June 2023
We had a brilliant stay and loved the apartment. We went for the 3 bedroom even though there was just the two of us as we wanted to be upstairs to fully appreciate the view, and we’re pleased we did. Because everything is new the place was immaculate. Would definitely recommend Finest Stays and Carswell Cove.
Mr and Mrs Sunasky
June 2023
Thank you Sally and Bob and Finest Stays for a wonderful stay at the Lanterns, three bedroom Carswell Cove property. We had the most fantastic week in Hope Cove. The accommodation was definitely the best we have ever stayed in the south coast. The place is beautiful and was totally immaculate when we arrived and the little touches such as the lanterns shopping bag, toiletries and gin etc made it even more welcoming. The location is perfect and everything is accessible by walking, which was a huge bonus with the many restaurants and pubs in short waking distance including other beaches besides the main two in Hope Cove itself.

Things To Do In Hope Cove

Hope Cove Travel

How to get to Hope Cove Hope Cove may be tucked away in a stunning location with three fabulous beaches and great seafood restaurants… but it’s really not that hard to find! Sitting on the beautiful south Devon coast the charming fishing habitat of Hope Cove is your quintessential Devon village with pretty thatched cottages, a shop cum post office, an art gallery and a handful of great places to eat… in fact Hope Cove is quite a dining experience! Think Lobster pods, woodfired pizza and a nearby beach house serving up the best seafood just a 20-minute walk along the coast and you're on the right track! But getting to Hope Cove isn’t as complicated as you may think. Yes, there are just a few miles of narrow country lanes down to the village, but that goes with the territory. You’ll soon feel the sand between your toes and enjoy a picnic on the beach. Whether you’re arriving by air, rail or road, here’s how to get to Hope Cove Flying to Hope Cove Internal flights into both Bristol and Exeter airports are quick and easy. You can fly into Exeter from Guernsey, Dublin, Belfast  City, Jersey, Isles of Scilly, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow and collect a hire car and drive to Hope Cove which is about 47 miles. Alternatively, fly into Bristol airport (111 miles) and either get a train from Bristol Temple Meads station to Totnes and a taxi to Hope Cove or pick up a hire car.   Driving to Hope Cove South Devon is well connected to London, The Midlands, Wales and the North with both the A30 and the M5 bringing you to Exeter, it’s here that you’ll join the A38, the main dual carriageway which runs between Exeter and Plymouth. Once on the A38 follow signs for Totnes and then Kingsbridge and Salcombe. Hope Cove is just off the Salcombe Road before you get to Malborough; a signposted turn on the right-hand side. Follow the lane until you get to Galmpton and then on to Hope Cove. (Just a few miles with plenty of passing places.)  As a guide, the drive from London will take around 4.5 hours depending on traffic and from Bristol, around 2 hours.  Hope Cove by Train Totnes is the nearest railway station for your holiday in Hope Cove. Trains run regularly from  London Paddington, Bristol, Birmingham, Wales and the North. Your journey will take just over three hours from London Paddington. Book a taxi for your arrival at Totnes station; the trip takes around 35 minutes and costs £37 as a guide.   Taxi Numbers If you’re arriving by train or you’re planning on going into Kingsbridge or Salcombe for dinner while you’re on holiday, it’s worth having a few of our local taxi numbers plumbed into your mobile. There’s a taxi rank at the station in Totnes but these quickly get snapped up when a busy train pulls up to the platform so we recommend booking your cab before you travel. You won’t find taxis waiting for a fare at Hope Cove so for that special evening out, again it's best to pre-book your trip.  Ultimate List of Hope Cove Taxi Numbers

Culture, Festivals and History

Hope Cove has a friendly, creative community. The old fishing village now offers a relaxed form of tourism that encourages visitors to embrace its maritime history, appreciate nature and simply spend time in the great outdoors.

Walking

Hope Cove is a walker’s paradise. Sitting on the South West Coast Path, this village is a popular spot for those taking in the rugged coastline of the South Hams.

Watersports

Watersports in Hope Cove With two beaches, Hope Cove is the ideal place to try your hand at some watersports. Hire a boat, paddleboard or sea kayak and soak up the unrivalled views from the water. Inner Hope's sheltered and shallow bay makes it perfect for beginners. Sailing If you are bringing your own boat to Hope Cove, you will benefit from the open beach and slipway at Inner Hope, as well as the option for parking your trailer in the local car park. However, before you arrive, make sure that you research more about the harbour, including tide times and the best places to anchor. This will ensure that you make the most of the coastline and stay safe when out on the water.   Boat Hire If you are wanting to hire, Hope Boats promise to power your aquatic adventures during your stay. Their self-drive boats give you and your family or friends the freedom to spend a day on the water taking in the breathtaking views of the towering cliffs and exploring sheltered waters. From Hope Cove, Thurlestone Sands, South Milton, Bigbury and Burgh Island are all within safe boating distance. Of course, check the weather and tides before you hire to avoid disappointment.   Paddleboarding The calm, clear waters surrounding Hope Cove make it the perfect place for a spot of peaceful paddleboarding. Take your time exploring the curves of the coastline with friends and family.  Get your board delivered to you by SUP Away or collect it from their office near Bantham Beach. SUP Away has the latest equipment and hire prices start from just £25 a day. You can find a list of suggested locations, as well as expert safety advice, on their website. Sea Kayaking Sea kayaking is a great way of exploring the coastline around Hope Cove. Not only does it get you active but it helps you discover the beauty of the South Hams from the quiet of the sea and notice parts of the surrounding area that you otherwise wouldn’t have. Roam in and out of coves and, whenever you fancy it, moor up on your own stretch of sand for a break or beach picnic.  Hope Cove Kayaks are moored on Harbour Beach and are available to hire for multiple days to a week. Each kayak comes with two paddles, two buoyancy aids, a dry bag, a waterproof phone case, and an optional junior buoyancy aid. Equipment can even be delivered straight to your door if staying at Hope Cove! If you have your own kayak, you can easily get down to the water via the slipway alongside the old lifeboat station at Inner Hope. Diving With the high number of shipwrecks in the locale, diving is also a popular sport for visitors to Hope Cove. However, with no dive centre on-site, you will have to bring your own equipment and be adequately trained before getting in the water. You can change into your gear in the local car park and walk down a short slope to access the shore.  Hope Cove offers a shallow dive, with plenty of rocky and seaweed areas to explore. Look out for jellyfish, cuttlefish, seahorses, and even the bobbing head of a seal! Make sure you always dive with a buddy.  So if you’re planning to stay in one of our Finest Stays in Hope Cove, and arranging your itinerary of things to do, don’t forget to book your watersports. Alternatively, get in touch with one of our team and we’ll do the leg work for you.
