About this property

Stunning views from one of the best located cottages in Devon

The Old Colonial House originally built in the 1920s is set in a dramatic position facing due west across Hope Cove, the beach and Bigbury Bay. Starboard has stunning uninterrupted views from all the rooms, it has a large 50 foot+ private terrace which offers spectacular views of the sunset. The property nestles between the twin villages of Inner & Outer Hope on the South West Coastal Path. You will find us just below St. Clements, the 16th Century Fisherman's Chapel. Starboard is a fabulous Hope Cove accommodation recently refurbished and featuring breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, stretching far beyond Burgh Island and along the South Devon coast. A perfect seaside holiday destination, just a minutes walk from one of Devon's most beautiful secluded sandy beaches.
Please note we are Friday - Friday bookings. We do not supply towels.
A separate self contained studio flat is also available if you need additional space, it can sleep up to 4 and has its own shower ensuite and kitchen

Wonderful views
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The view is breathtaking and if you catch a sunset even more so. The accommodation is fine if a little worn around the edges but no big deal. The only things to point out to potential guests is that the WiFi is very slow even by Hope Cove standards. Not sure if there was an issue with it but something to be aware of. In addition there is no freezer just a small ice box at the top of one of the fridges. Worth bearing in mind if you do an online shopping order with frozen items. A handbook for the property would also be useful. After a few days we worked out that we could Bluetooth our phones to the sound system ( via trial and error) so could enjoy some music. We would definitely stay here again.

Winter bliss in a stormy week
We enjoyed our stay in the Starboard accommodation overlooking Hope Cove very much indeed. It felt more spacious than advertised, was clean and well equipped with one or two minor exceptions. Despite the stormy weather, we enjoyed the expansive views over sea and managed daily walks to the beaches below. The house was well heated and the beds comfortable - a King size double in one room and 3/4 single beds in the other. The two bathrooms were very good and hot water was plentiful. We can highly recommend this property, there is no better location in Hope Cove.

Outstanding location, stunning views
Really spacious house all on one level. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, which was great. Master bedroom has very comfortable superking bed, 4 singles in bedroom 2. Great Kitchen/dining/living room with big sofas, farmhouse table, plenty of fridge space etc. All the rooms (apart from bathrooms) faced the sea, with views of Inner and Outer Hope Cove, Bigbury Bay across to Burgh Island, and as far as Plymouth on a clear day, with Eddystome lighthouse visible at night. Big south-west facing terrace with table and chairs, sliding doors into the lounge, so really easy to get outside when the sun appeared. Living area was just as good on the wet days, watching the waves roll in and the family of seals visiting the harbour. Short walk (3 minutes) to all beaches, Cove bar/restaurant (good food) and Hope & Anchor pub (which we didn't try this time) . Allocated car space was very close to front door and patio door, so really easy to get in and out. We have booked again for 2024 , we've been coming to Hope Cove for many years, this was one of the best places to enjoy the amazing views. Owner was very friendly, responsive and helpful with my questions. Thank you for sharing your unique house.

Fabulous
Beautiful property which lived up to expectations. Excellent space indoors, and a wonderful outdoor paved area overlooking the cove, but entirely private. We had two parking spaces.
