About this property

The Cottage Hotel stands above rocky cliffs at Hope Cove, a large white building seen beyond a beached fishing boat on the sand below.

A formal dining room and lounge

The dining room is laid with tables under chandeliers, yellow linen and red napkins dressing the settings, windows looking straight out over the sea; a separate lounge pairs patterned armchairs and sofas around a coffee table for guests settling in before dinner or after a walk along the coast.

Rooms with sea views and bay windows

Rooms are dressed individually, from twin beds beneath a bay window with striped wallpaper to a tufted headboard and chairs beside a window with its own sea view, several finished with teal armchairs and a desk area.

Dome dining pods above the beach

A terrace above the beach holds dome dining pods for guests wanting to eat outside, cream teas served on the balcony overlooking the cove, the beach and its boats visible from almost every table.

A cove beach right below the hotel

The hotel sits right above the cove beach at Hope Cove, boats pulled up on the sand and the headland stretching out along the coast on either side.

A hotel stay right in Hope Cove

This suits guests wanting a proper hotel stay with sea views, breakfast and a beachfront position right in Hope Cove, family rooms and kids' meals among the facilities for those travelling with children, a golf course within easy reach for anyone wanting a round while they're here.

    Guests consistently mention

    • The outlook is raised much more often than at a typical property nearby and almost nobody in our sample took issue with it.

      Raised in 13 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly positive

    • Service is a dominant theme and drew no criticism at all in our sample — a rare clean sweep for a property of this size.

      Raised in 11 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly positive

    Worth knowing before you book

    • How the place is presented draws more criticism than praise, against a local pattern where the theme usually runs the other way.

      Raised in 6 of 20 written reviews. Tone: Mostly critical

    Themes are counted mechanically from the written reviews in our sample, then described in our own words. A theme missing from either column simply did not recur often enough to report — it is not a verdict either way.
