🌊 Hope Cove: Good bathing water 0.2 mi · Environment Agency

Anchor Cottages - Smugglers Haunt
Tucked between Hope Cove and Thurlestone on the South Devon coast, Smugglers Haunt is one of the Anchor Cottages and sleeps up to seven, making it a good fit for a family gathering or a group of friends after a proper seaside break. A bus stop nearby means you're not entirely reliant on the car if you fancy exploring further afield.

Hope Cove beach is just 0.2 miles away, with good water quality, so it's an easy stroll down for a paddle or a sandy afternoon. Inland, there's a trio of museums to fill a rainy day: Overbeck's House, Salcombe Maritime Museum and Cookworthy Museum are all within a few miles. Ivybridge station, 10.4 miles away, offers a rail link if you're arriving without a car.
