Holiday accommodation in Hope Cove (1mls E), Devon

Accommodation details

Adorned with exposed beams and many original features transporting you to days past, this barn conversion offers generous social spaces and a calming quaint atmosphere, surrounded by a rural working farm, perfect for big gatherings and celebrations. Leave your hiking boots in the hallway of this reverse-level property, offering four spacious and smart ground-floor bedrooms, two with en-suites, and all four featuring a calming palette of natural wood tones reflecting the surrounding countryside.

Head upstairs into the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space which runs the entire barn length and features magnificent ceiling beams that call back to the barn's rich history. Grab all the local goodies you've collected and rustle up a meal in the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen to be enjoyed around the generous dining table with a handy long seating bench.

Fire up the gorgeous wood burner to keep toes toasty as you hunker down for the evening next to the exposed brickwork wall on the comfy sofas and enjoy a film night around the Smart TV. Outside, you'll find a shared patio area, perfect for al fresco dining, plus an outdoor play area and shared seating area to explore. Tucked into a sheltered cove behind Bolt Tail, the old fishing village of Hope Cove comprises two secluded sandy beaches, perfect for an afternoon's sunbathing, a quiet paddle or digging around the rock pools.

To explore the area from its best watery angle, jump aboard an estuary cruise from Salcombe quay less than 4.5 miles away to enjoy panoramic coastal views and glimpses of a variety of birdlife and some friendly seals. Keen walkers can join up with the South West Coast Path just under 4 miles away to journey along the Salcombe to Bolt Head walk, passing through an enchanted landscape of rugged coastline along the Salcombe estuary.
