Wonderful views
The sea views from the cottage are amazing (including watching the seals) - Hope Cove is a charming coastal village. We're glad we went out of holiday season though as traffic and the tiny roads must be a struggle in season. Great to have our own parking outside Starboard. The village seems to be largely second homes/holiday cottages but its picturesque. We recommend 'The Cove' for food, coffee etc.
The cottage has character and was spacious for us 2 - high ceilings/large mirrors helped that. The kitchen is well equipped. The superking bed and quilt were very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. The central heating worked well although the property was cold when we arrived due to the timer having the incorrect time and the thermostat being set very low. As others have mentioned, the freezer compartment in (one of) the fridge(s) is small and its door wasn't attached very well (as reported to the owner on arrival). The TV is small for the size of room but not much of an issue as we had plenty of books. Wifi was 1.7Mb at best, often less. The 2 sofas have seen much better days (one had a split in the fabric near a previous repair) and they were rather uncomfortable. We appreciate this is a family holiday home and the owners may not be concerned about the sofas, however for the purposes of paying guests they weren't adequate. Just for reference the main door is at the rear of Starboard, and to use the oven, set the clock time.
Overall, the views overcome any niggles
