Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the cleanliness of the apartment, describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'very comfortable and clean', indicating a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.
The location is highly praised for its spectacular views, proximity to the beach, and local amenities within walking distance. The free off-road parking is also appreciated, contributing to the high score.
Guests find the accommodation comfortable, with mentions of a 'comfortable and clean accommodation' and 'comfortable' living spaces. However, one review mentioned a lack of a blind that could affect comfort during sunny days.
The apartment is described as well-equipped and thoughtfully stocked, but there are minor notes on maintenance and the absence of items like a clothes airer and an iron, which slightly lower the score.
While guests mention welcome gifts and appreciate the well-equipped nature of the apartment, there is not enough information to determine if such thoughtfulness is consistent across all stays. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gestures are not guaranteed and the score is set to null.

The apartment was very comfortable with everything we needed to enjoy our family holiday! It has fantastic sea views and is in a great location very close to the beach. Hope Cove was beautiful as always!

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and just a few steps from the beach at Hope Cove. Apart from the bedroom, every room has a fantastic seaview and it was lovely to sit and watch the ever changing sea and sky. The patio was a great spot to enjoy breakfast and a coffee, again, with a seaview. The owners of the property have thought of everything you could possibly need whilst on a break and it was the most well equipped holiday let we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed some lovely meals at The Hope and Anchor - shout out to the staff there who are so very welcoming. We enjoyed a day in Salcombe which was beautiful and only a 15 minute drive away. We would highly recommend Shippen and Hope Cove for a few days away and would definitely return.
