  • "Really enjoyed this lovely property."

    Great decor, facilities and cleanliness along with the amazing views and just a few minutes walk to the beach. Loved Hope Cove too - such a pretty village. Great to have car space but would be very tight if all properties were filled - luckily were not while we were there.

    Thank you for the feedback. It is always appreciated. Property Owner

  • "Wonderful property, comfortable furniture and beds, all furnishings were carefully chosen and of really good standard, not like some holiday let’s where it looks like they’ve been furnished from the local ‘tat’ shop."

    Large windows that were cleaned to maximise that beautiful view that even looked good in the rain. Only minus point is the parking, it can be quite tight getting in and out of the allocated space, no room to turn.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely flat with spectacular views of the bay, my only issue was as i am tall and the flat is in the eaves of the house i did bump my head a few times as most of the flat is of the dormer type with sloping walls inside but on saying that its not the property's fault i am tall but i think its only fair to let other people know of this."

    Thank you for the feedback which is always appreciated. Yes, the flat does have some sloping walls. I will try and put something on those walls to make sure that people do not bump their heads! I am glad you enjoyed the property in any event. Property Owner

  • "Shippen is a fantastic apartment!"

    Spotlessly clean, comfortable and just a few steps from the beach at Hope Cove. Apart from the bedroom, every room has a fantastic seaview and it was lovely to sit and watch the ever changing sea and sky. The patio was a great spot to enjoy breakfast and a coffee, again, with a seaview. The owners of the property have thought of everything you could possibly need whilst on a break and it was the most well equipped holiday let we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed some lovely meals at The Hope and Anchor - shout out to the staff there who are so very welcoming. We enjoyed a day in Salcombe which was beautiful and only a 15 minute drive away. We would highly recommend Shippen and Hope Cove for a few days away and would definitely return.

    Thank you for this wonderful feedback. I am very happy you enjoyed your stay and all the things I too enjoy about the apartment like watching the ever changing sky and sea, and the world go by on the beach. Property Owner

  • "Lovely comfortable and clean accommodation."

    . The location was ideal with eateries and pubs well within walking distance (very necessary with the stormy weather we encounted!) and the beach was a stone’s throw away. Shippen is a very attractive flat with a well equipped kitchen and facilities with fabulous views of the sea from the lounge and especially the kitchen window. Bathroom facilities were delightful with a great shower. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the wonderful views. I never tire of them myself. Property Owner

  • "The apartment was overall delightful."

    It met our expectations very well. Just two small caveats. Without a blind over the large window, the kitchen/dining area can get very hot when the summer sun is out. Also, getting the car in the parking space is not an easy manoeuvre.

About the location

HOPE COVE

Salcombe 4.6 miles; Kingsbridge 5.1 miles

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.
