The Cottage Hotel

I was treated to a long weekend with my wife and dogs down at the Cottage Hotel in Hope Cove. We had a first floor room with a balcony and views over both bays. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed, bath/shower en-suite and a balcony with chairs and a small table. The room was very comfortable and I only wish we'd have had more time to enjoy the views and sunsets. We had booked for evening meals and breakfasts in the hotel and we were so pleased. The quality of the food was exceptional and I can highly recommend the 5 course dinners. The bar was excellent too with prices the same or cheaper than the local pubs. An absolute bonus to find a hotel that would allow guests to leave dogs in their bedroom while the owners had dinner/breakfast. The staff were so friendly and professional, I was actually a little sorry to leave. I can't believe this is only a 3 star hotel.

From the moment we walked through the doors of this unique time capsule we knew that we would be in for a regal experience. Much akin to the grand Budapest, the concierge could not do enough to see we were made to feel like guests of honour in Hope Cove’s premier establishment. The complimentary nuts on the bar were a delightful touch after we were served a well deserved pint after a long walk back from the other pub where we had consumed several other pints. We decided to stop for dinner in the hotel that we were staying in and the excellent value set menu option did not not disappoint as much as we thought they might. The waiters in tux’s were by far a hilight and went above and beyond to make sure our group were made to feel special; a bond was formed. Our food and drink left little to be desired as was very very good. My phone however is bigger than the TV in the rooms but thankfully due to the quality of the wine we passed our fairly sharpish after a lovely long evening of eating and drinking. God bless the Cottage.

The location makes this a favourite destination. The staff and management are always very helpful and polite .

Excellent family run hotel where the staff are friendly and go out of the way to ensure you enjoy your stay. Food is first class waking up each morning to the amazing view across the cove stays with you year after year.

Lobster from the sea served with a sea view. The Cottage is truly a gem, made more so by the capable and enthusiastic team!!!

Another amazing stay at The Cottage Hotel. We have been coming here regularly for 24 years and why because it’s an absolute gem! It’s just easy with great service and amazing views. We enjoy coming back after a day out to a nice evening meal. Also the best cream tea. Thank you to all the staff for looking after us so well. See you again in a couple of weeks.
