This delightful thatched cottage is centuries old and was built by local fishermen using timbers from a Spanish wreck that foundered in the bay. It has low ceilings, exposed beams and thick walls with windows that peep out onto the square in Inner Hope and has a lovely welcoming feel. It is only a few minutes stroll to the beaches and for those who like walking, the South West Coastal Path passes through the village and gives easy access to the stunning coastline. Brook Cottage is full of character and charm and a makes for a superb summer or winter getaway, being a comfortable base in the summer for a fun seaside holiday or a snug retreat in winter for those who like exploring during the quieter times of year and enjoy coming home to a warm cottage in which to relax and snuggle up around the fire.
“Its a wonderful little cottage and a perfect escape from it all winter holiday. Thank you.”

Features:
Lying on the coast of the popular South Hams area of Devon, Hope Cove consists of two sandy bays called Inner and Outer Hope. The perfect destination for families looking for a traditional beach holiday with paddling, swimming, sand castles and rock pooling. The beaches have red sandstone cliffs to the rear which provide not only a beautiful backdrop but a shady area if needed. Both beaches back onto the charming village where there are plenty of places to eat out as well as shops for those last-minute beach needs. The more popular Mouthwell Sands beach also benefits from a seasonal lifeguard service and dogs are allowed between October and April. The village beach is pet-friendly all year round but must be kept on a lead.
Hugely popular, especially with families, we have a great selection of Hope Cove cottages but we would advise booking early as this area fills up fast.
