About this property
Resting in the coastal village of Hope Cove in Devon is 3 West Park Mews, a delightful, reverse-level home. Located a stone's throw away from the beach and a hub of amenities, the home offers an idyllic base for a family seascape, complete with a private balcony and enclosed patio, flexible sleeping arrangements, and a stylish, open-plan living space; four guests and two furry companions are welcomed. Benefit from designated parking before travelling through the garden and into the hallway. Climb the stairs to reach the living space, arriving at a contemporary sitting area with a rustling woodburning stove, wall-mounted TV, and plush seating, a dedicated dining area, and a fully-equipped kitchen; keep on top of your self-catering needs in this space. To truly make the most of your location, enjoy an alfresco affair within the pet-friendly patio, or as the night unwinds, toast to your getaway upon the balcony. Catch some rest in one of the two ground-floor bedrooms, both complete with double beds and serviced by a sleek bathroom. The second bedroom benefits from an additional single bed to allow for flexible sleeping arrangements. Come morning, refresh with a shower before preparing to tour Hope Cove, strolling towards the beach, the post office, and the Lobster Pod Bistro for a bite to eat. Follow the coastal path to reach Bolt Tail, a breath-taking vantage point, nestled within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), or if you'd prefer a competitive afternoon, practise your swing at Thurlestone Golf Club. Head to Salcombe for another beach day, with North Sands Beach and harbour recognised as bustling areas or turn back the clocks and delve into the county’s history at Salcombe Castle. Round off your break with a tour of the Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum and a stroll along Kingsbridge Creek, before returning home for sundowners. Enjoy all of this at 3 West Park Mews.
On the south coast of Devon, in the protected curve of Bigbury Bay, is the charming and undeveloped settlement of Hope Cove. The two beaches are a popular holiday spot for families, offering soft sand and rock pools for constructing sandcastles and fishing for little crabs. The settlement was originally used by smugglers, but it is now a fishing community where crabs and lobsters are still landed. The area's coastline has seen numerous shipwrecks go down, making it a popular diving location. There are several bars and restaurants located over the beach. From here, one may access the coastal walk, which travels in two directions, one to Salcombe and the other to Bigbury-on-Sea.

A bit of a damp smell in the bathroom which was a bit tired & in need of redecoration & the heated towel rail didnât work. The kitchen also was very much in need of updating & the pans were tatty especially the frying pans. Also for us the living room furniture was very low & not very comfortable. Trying to watch TV was a joke, we were constantly waiting for it to buffer. Access to the property down the narrow lanes wasnât great either. We really enjoyed our trip to Devon & for the time of year, end of September we were very lucky to have nice Autumn sunshine.

Good location. Very quiet. Had a lovely holiday. However, emailed Sykes holidays twice during our stay but got no response. Telephoned Sykes before the holiday but recorded message said staff on that number could not answer queries and could only help with new bookings. The message said to call the owner of the property whose number was shown in the email. Guess what - it was the Sykes holidays office number. Terrible customer service. But I guess they donât want to know once theyâve been paid!

The whole organisation of it was great very easy to access the property and self explanatory notes when checked in. My only reservations about using that particular property again would be on the wetter days you can really feel the damp in the bedrooms so as it gets into the colder months I wouldnât visit again. The level of cleanliness when we arrived as well was a little disappointing there was an awful lot of dog hair everywhere which we dealt with as there is a hoover supplied, as our dog was non moulting we definitely left the carpets cleaner than when we arrived .
