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.

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.
