Guests that stayed at this property said

The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting its spotless condition.

The location is frequently commended for its proximity to the harbour, beach, and coastal footpaths, making it an ideal spot for guests.

Comfort is generally well-regarded, though there are comments about small bedrooms and a low ceiling in the second bedroom, suggesting some room for improvement.

Facilities are considered adequate, but some guests noted the absence of items like dinner bowls and a coffee machine, and a desire for better outdoor seating.

There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

In the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hope Cove, a charming picture-postcard fishing community, is visible from Goody, a magnificent first-floor apartment (AONB). For a couple travelling with a small dog or for a family break, this quaint apartment makes the ideal home base. You may explore a variety of rock pools on the golden sand beach in less than a minute by taking a short stroll there. Three guests will enjoy Goody's fully furnished kitchen, breathtaking views from every window, use of the community garden, assigned parking space, and near accessibility to a number of neighbourhood attractions. The Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel, shining white on its own tidal island where Agatha Christie wrote two of her novels, is visible across the bay as you up the steps that lead to a fully decked balcony. Take in the stunning sea views as you ascend the steps. Enter Goody's cosy kitchen and dining room, where you may prepare mouthwatering meals and dine while admiring the surrounding rolling landscape, which includes the lovely old-fashioned thatched houses that define the hamlet of Inner Hope. After a day of exploration, unwind in the living area with its comfortable chairs, electric fireplace, Smart TV with DVD player, and Velux windows through which you can take in the breathtaking scenery. Find the rear communal lawn, the ideal place to relax, while cooking up a feast on the BBQ and watching the sun set over the horizon while your canine buddy stretches. A king-size and a single bedroom are available once you complete getting ready for bed in the bathroom, so you can rest before seeing South Devon's attractions. A short walk will take you to the Hope Cove village centre where breakfast is served at The Cove. After that, you may swim or paddleboard at the nearby beach, which is only 70 yards away, before visiting the renowned Hope Cove Gallery to peruse the creations of local artists. Take advantage of live music at award-winning bar/restaurant The Cove, or enjoy the meals of the Hope & Anchor or Hope Cove House while dining in a heated pod at The Lobster Pod Bistro with views of the harbour and beach. Travel to Salcombe, a lively resort town, where you can find a variety of specialty stores, restaurants, and art galleries. After that, explore South Sands Beach, one of South Devon's most pristine beaches, and get an ice cream at The Winking Prawn. Enjoy sweeping coastal vistas and unique, unusual, and tropical blossoms exploding with colour at Overbeck's subtropical garden paradise high up on the cliffs above Salcombe. These blooms thrive in Salcombe's renowned microclimate. Visit Kingsbridge, a charming market town with a gorgeous estuary and a variety of shops and restaurants, to cap off your trip. Sample some fresh seafood at The Crabshell Inn, the ideal place to observe the activity of boats along the quay. With all of this, Goody is the best option for a memorable stay in a beautiful, natural setting on the Devon coast.

On the south coast of Devon, in the protected curve of Bigbury Bay, is the charming and undeveloped settlement of Hope Cove. The two beaches are a popular vacation spot for families, featuring soft sand and rock pools for constructing sandcastles and fishing for little crabs. The settlement was originally used by smugglers, but it is now a fishing community where crabs and lobsters are still landed. The area's coastline has seen numerous shipwrecks go down, making it a popular diving location. There are several bars and restaurants located over the beach. From here, one may access the coastal walk, which travels in two directions, one to Salcombe and the other to Bigbury-on-Sea.
