Holiday cottage to rent in Hope Cove (1mls E), Devon

Accommodation details

Peaceful and serene, this charming barn conversion is bursting with character and extra special contemporary touches that create a romantic bolthole perfect for discovering the treasures the nearby cove and coastline have to offer. This reverse-style barn has two handy entrances. The first entrance is at ground level, leading straight into the super-king-size en-suite bedroom, which features wonderful deep wooden ascents reflecting the natural countryside surrounding you.

Enter the first floor via the outside entrance steps or inside staircase from the bedroom to be welcomed into the open-plan living/kitchen/dining area; a statement wood burner acts as the focal point in the room, keeping toes toasty and oozing cosiness. Whip up a locally sourced meal in the well-equipped kitchen and dine around the farmhouse-style dining table beneath the picture window.

Hunker down on the comfy sofa and enjoy a film night around the Smart TV, or admire the exposed beams and skylight above you. Outside the first-floor entrance is a shared patio area, perfect for al fresco dining. Back down on ground level there is an outdoor play area, BBQ, pizza oven and shared open seating area to explore. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hope Cove less than a mile away is an unspoilt seaside retreat almost untouched by time, that comprises two secluded sandy stretches perfect for paddling around the calm waters.

Known for its outstanding coastal views and rolling surrounding countryside, discover Salcombe just under 4 miles away, boasting a bustling high street lined with independent shops, high street brands and art galleries. Salcombe is also a water sports haven with opportunities for sailing, kayaking, surfing or paddle boarding; why not board an estuary cruise from the quay for the best panoramic views of the crystal waters and a colony of friendly seals.
