The Cottage Hotel sits on the cliffs above Hope Cove in Salcombe, South Devon, with sea views from most rooms, a restaurant, bar and lounge, and a terrace for drinks or a Devonshire cream tea overlooking the water. The hotel has been run by the same family since 1973, offering a traditional, personal welcome. You're within easy walking distance of Hope Cove's two sandy beaches and the South West Coast Path, which runs directly in front of the hotel, with Salcombe reachable along the coast to the east. On site you'll find free parking and EV charging points, free WiFi throughout, and well-behaved dogs are welcome in many of the bedrooms. Nearby museums at Overbeck's House and the Salcombe Maritime Museum add further interest for days out.
