We had a great stay at Hope Cove. We love the area and the apartment is in a fantastic location with an even better view. The apartment was immaculately clean on arrival. The apartment is comfortable and a great size for two people. The kitchen has everything that you need apart from egg cups. Cooking a meal is no problem. The vacuum was broken and we reported this at the time. The response from Finest Stays was brilliant and the colleague who came around was very helpful and approachable. This response gives us a lot of confidence in Finest Stays. We would definitely stay with you again.

We both loved our stay in Apartment 8, The Lanterns – a well equipped and cleverly designed apartment with that all important balcony and sea view. It was spotlessly clean and we appreciated the high quality appliances and furnishings.

I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in The Lanterns, Hope Cove last week. We stayed in Forest Cove and the apartment was wonderful with the most stunning view out to the sea and Bolt Head. We have been visiting Hope Cove for over forty years and won’t stay anywhere but The Lanterns for our future visits. The cleanliness and service is fabulous. Having previously stayed in Willow Cove, we are already looking forward to a return to Ayrmer Cove in June. We cannot recommend these apartments highly enough. Hope Cove is such a lovely village. Paying can be at a premium and the private parking meant we could just park up and walk for the whole of our stay.

The most beautiful view from the apartment, breathtaking. The check in was smooth and the room was ready earlier than check in time. Clean, tidy, spacious, warm and comfortable. The apartment block is at the top of a steep hill down to Hope Cove itself. We ate in both pubs and the cottage hotel. Nowhere else was open due to the time of year. There's a little beach shop open every morning until 1pm with cupboard & fridge items plus pastries. The hosts were great, very responsive and helpful throughout. We highly recommended this listing, a heavenly week.

We truly loved our stay in Forest Cove- beautiful views over the sea and Hope Cove from the balcony, and access straight onto the SW Coastal Path, with a 10/15 walk to South Milton Sands, and a couple of minutes down into Hope Cove itself. The apartments have been very sympathetically and stylishly renovated, with plenty of attention to detail. There was everything needed in the kitchen, a very comfy bed, enough wardrobe/drawer space, and a lovely bathroom. In fact, it feels more spacious than the photos show..... and Roxy (the terrier) loved people/dog watching from the balcony too! We would definitely stay again.

We have had a fantastic stay and booked an extra night as we loved it so much. We are normally Cornwall visitors and have been going there for years. We have never been to this area of Devon and loved it. It seems like a hidden gem. The Apartment is lovely. We have nothing to say that isn't good. Lastly your team are amazing and so helpful and quick to respond they really deserve a pat on the back.

A lovely stay. It’s in an ideal location, so close to the beaches in Hope Cove and a short distance from places like Salcombe. The apartment was spotless and lovely inside, exactly as the pictures show. I would certainly stay again.

I had an absolutely lovely few days away at Hope Cove with my dog Tilly , the apartment is in a perfect spot right on the coastal path with beautiful views of the sea and village which is literally a 5 minute walk down a hill. Gorgeous , clean apartment and a lovely touch leaving a little welcome gift of savory snacks , sweet ones and nespresso pods which I loved ! Harry was really helpful from Finest Stays and checked I arrived safely etc so all in all I couldn’t fault it at all and would stay again for sure .

We had a wonderful stay in Apartment 8 Forest Cove in The Lanterns. It started well with being dealt with by Vicky who read our accommodation requests perfectly even though it was a very late booking. The apartment was just what we needed. Lovely views with balcony. It was very well equipped. We will return a great find. 5 stars all round.

The apartment is like a home from home and has absolutely everything you could need. Lovely quiet location, lots of places to explore within 30 mins or so, luxury touches including a lovely welcome bag of goodies and sunset views to die for. From the moment I arrived I knew I would be returning and I have already booked again for next year!

The apartment is beautiful, with a very high spec finish, scrupulously clean and with every mod con. Perfect for a couple, there is a sofa bed for a third person but the room is very bright with only a voile curtain. Dining furniture on the balcony was great for eating al fresco when watching the sun go down. Steep path down to the cove with a couple of decent bars and restaurants, a shop and a gallery - a five minute walk. Really loved our stay at The Lanterns, we'd go again.
