The Cottage Hotel

This wonderful hotel deserves 5 stars in our opinion! The service food location and our room the best we have stayed at. From management to cleaners there is nothing that compares. Beautiful sea views. Upgrade to premier so worth the extra.

Back to our favourite bolthole in beautiful Hope Cove. Our 9th time, I am told at reception. Always a pleasure to be greeted by William, Sarah, Neil and the whole crew. Taking advantage of the excellent value occasional deal, available only to lucky Devon residents. Half board to include a five course dinner. Complemented, but sadly not complimentary haha, by an impressive range of wines. A doggy friendly hotel. Well, we are in Devon afterall. On this occasion we upgraded to one of the fine premier rooms in the long awaited new extension. An impressive and very comfortable room with a fancy en suite, superb shower and bath. Spacious ocean front balcony. Room for a pony. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

We are regular visitors to this unique hotel, and we’ve had a wonderful overstay for one night and enjoy the most delicious meal that we’ve ever been served here, it was truly excellent. Will certainly be back. I’m totally recommend. And the staff continue to make you feel completely welcome and pampered.

From the moment you enter The Cottage Hotel you are made to feel like a special guest. All the staff looked after us so well and always with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Loved the old part of the hotel with its history and interesting features. The new part has been done to such a high standard with quality interior design and light and airy rooms. We were lucky enough to stay in a premier sea view room and it really was stunning and what a view to wake up to. We left feeling so relaxed and can’t wait to visit again soon. Well done Neil and team.

As locals we have enjoyed many meals over the years at The Cottage, whether celebration dinners, cream teas or bar snacks and the food is always delicious, plentiful and beautifully served. For my husband's recent birthday I decided to treat us to an overnight stay so that we could wake up to that stunning view. Wow! Staying is a whole new experience. Some may say The Cottage is a tad old fashioned. Quirky it may be but for us it mirrors the timeless ethos of Hope Cove itself, harking back to a gentler, slower, less stressful pace of life. The bedrooms are bright and comfortable with that incredible view. But it is the warm, calm, welcoming atmosphere of The Cottage which is simply unique. The staff are friendly and helpful in that delightfully old fashioned way and nothing is too much trouble. Neil, the new manager is a brilliant addition to the team and perfectly complements William and Sarah. He is a consummate professional yet he treats you as if he knows you, warm, attentive and missing nothing. Altho only there for a short while the slower pace of life soon relaxed and refreshed us. We had been cosseted in the nicest possible way. Keep doing what you're doing! It works!

We love this hotel and keep returning, which says it all really! Friendly service and fantastic food served in a restaurant with wonderful sea and sunset views. A pre-dinner drink on the terrace is a wonderful way to relax. The new manager is a great addition to the team.
