Family-run beachfront hotel with historic charm in Hope Cove
Location & Views
The Cottage Hotel sits directly on the cliffside with sweeping outdoor terraces overlooking Hope Cove. Hope Cove Beach is a 6-minute walk from the hotel, and the South West Coast Path runs right past the property. Many rooms offer panoramic sea views, with balconies or terraces that face the cove and the Bolt Tail headland.
Dining Experience
The hotel's restaurant serves British, seafood, and local cuisines with a five-course Table d'Hôte dinner offered every evening. A separate onsite bistro, The Lobster Pod, specializes in local seafood in a casual setting. Guests can also enjoy cream teas on the terrace or take advantage of the affordable meal pricing, which includes a buffet breakfast with made-to-order eggs.

Room options include Cottage Double with Sea View, Standard Room with Balcony and Sea View, and Premier Double or Twin Room with Balcony. Family rooms and ground-floor units are available, and all accommodations include private bathrooms, bathrobes, and tea and coffee makers. The hotel offers a variety of room categories to suit different budgets, from budget doubles to larger sea-view suites.
Pet-Friendly & Services
