  • "Bankside was comfortable, warm and clean although there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders not that they bothered us."

    The drive is very steep and we grounded our car (Skoda Octavia) on the first attempt so parked on the street for the duration of our stay - the photos don’t really show the steepness of drive but something for people to be aware of. The front bedroom smelt very musty/damp but we slept in the back room so this didn’t affect us. The Mira shower was excellent after a long day hiking. The bungalow is about 5 minutes walk from the coastal path and we had some lovely hikes from the house. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the pub in Hope Cove although it is a walk back uphill to the bungalow but isn’t too steep. Maybe suggestions would be for some maps/walking books and a tray/rack for boots/shoes to be provided - we used newspaper in the conservatory for muddy boots. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay at Bankside again if in the area.

  • "We were disappointed with Bankside."

    We've stayed several times at Seascape and once at Cindy's Retreat with our son and family but this year booked a separate house. Despite being described as "outstanding" Bankside wasn't up to the standard of either. The owners of Seascape make regular upgrades such as the new shower room, and the standard of fitments, furniture, decoration and maintenance are high. Good points, the sitting room is comfortable and the enclosed garden was sheltered. Not so good, the kitchen and bathroom are very dated, the fridge had missing shelves, there's no dishwasher, the shower head dripped loudly randomly and the dining table is old. The plastic outdoor table and chairs were warped and old (not as in photo) and sited on a small, rough area of concrete, contrasting with the beautiful terrace at Seascape. The double duvet is worn out, grubby and stained and the mattress protector also has stains - not the best thing to find on leaving. We had already booked Bankside for 2025 before staying so we hope that our comments are taken positively and lead to improvements as we are now apprehensive about next year. With some care and attention Bankside could be fabulous!

    However a few things need to be addressed more quickly. The chest of drawers in both bedrooms smell very damp and need replacing. The garden gate on the far side of the property also needs securing to keep dogs/children safe. However location great and we had a great holiday.

    It has a lovely open plan arrangement with an enclosed back garden and was very comfortable. There is no dishwasher but it has a washing machine and tumble dryer which were very handy. I would have no hesitation in recommending it...but take your own toilet rolls, one very small, thin roll is not enough for two people for a week!

  • "This was a wonderful stay in a holiday cottage that was very fitting in the area for which it sits."

    It is not fantastically modern because it is not meant to be but it is homely. The beds are very comfortable and the previous comments about the shower no longer seem to be a concern as the shower is a rainfall and was very efficient with no dripping. To improve the experience I would recommend a larger TV and one that is attached to the internet as would be the norm. I could not understand why dishwasher tablets were given when there is no dishwasher and I would have appreciated a clothes airer as do not use a tumble dryer and had to hang our clothes around the conservatory when raining.

    The size of the accommodation was ideal for us (3 people plus dog) and there was everything you need - it was clean and tidy and everything had been thought of. The only place it loses points is lack of recycling facilities and if you have a low car you cannot park on the drive (we just parked on the road so it wasn’t a huge issue). We have come home and booked straight again for 2023!

    We used both regularly during our stay. As far as we could see there was no dishwasher. It wasn't a problem for us as we were only two. We were a bit confused by the recycling situation. The booklet said South Hams did not do a recycling collection. However on Thursday we saw lots of green boxes and white canvas bags outside other properties but these were not available at our property. The instruction was to take recycling the 2 miles through the lanes to Marlborough. When we did this last year there was little recycling separation there either. What is the actual position?

    The house had been cleaned but not well, lots of dark dust like it needed a start of season clean - we were offered for cleaners to come round but declined as just dust.The bins are a problem, they were over flowing when we arrived and seagulls having a great time. They weren’t collected on bin day and Coast and County kindly came out to remove some of the rubbish so we had bin space but looking at a previous review I think this is an on going problem with the trade waste.

However the cleaner, Stacey who arrived at the property during this event was fantastic in helping us.She went far and above all expectations, she showed so much concern for our predicament and would not rest until things were resolved for us. We had to arrange alternative accommodation in Hope Cove, which she helped sort out, thanks also to Gwen the manager at C&C Salcombe.Stacey even brought shopping in for us and drove us to the new accommodation. Gwen also dropped supplies to us, wonderful people. Stacey is an absolute credit to your business and deserves the upmost praise in her customer care, we cant thank her enough, without her we would have been completely stumped. Thank you a million times Stacey, a brilliant girl.

    Garden had excellent security for our small Yorkie. For first week of July I don't think we saw another person in the area where we were staying ... all modern bungalows no doubt mostly for self catering holiday makers. Most accommodation around the cove itself seems to be B&B or hotels. 15 minutes walk to coastal path or fantastic Hope Cove. All day parking in Hope Cove was £5 !! I have never seen such a wonderful cove .... good walks; thriving fishing industry; dog friendly; good places to eat local seafood. Very friendly locals. BUT .... narrow roads to get to the area - local drivers courteous to tourists but you need to be aware of width of your car. We will go back but most certainly avoid main tourist season. PS: No mobile phone signal at the bungalow but the WiFi works well so you just need to use mobile in 'WiFi' mode.

  • "Very suitable accommodation for a short break and well situated, not too far down single track lanes with village, pub and coves/beaches within walking distance."

    The property had been recently decorated so it looked light and bright. It was warm and very well equipped with utensils We found parking in the drive, as requested in the details, difficult as one has to drive over a sharp crown which scraped the underside of our Corolla. By hugging the hedge in reverse one avoided the worst of the crown. Further trimming of the shrub at the top of the drive would have made this easier. When hunting under the double bed for a missing item I noticed that the 5th bed leg (the central support) was no longer upright. We positioned it correctly. Anyone moving the bed needs to be aware of this and it was not easy to adjust single handed. I emptied the vacuum cleaner on leaving, there was strong smell of dog from the pre-motor filter but didn't have time to wash it. We were very impressed that although the property was dog friendly there was no smell of dog in any of the rooms, a good choice to have hard floors in the main areas

  • "This is our second time at Bankside, a super little bungalow that provided everything that we needed during our stay at Hope Cove."

    The accommodation is clean & tidy although feels a little tired and outdated, maybe time for a redecorate and refurbish? Just a small suggestion and wouldn't stop us from recommending this property to friends and family. Many thanks

About the location

HOPE COVE

Salcombe 4.6 miles; Kingsbridge 5.1 miles

The picturesque and unspoiled village of Hope Cove lies in the sheltered curve of Bigbury Bay on Devon’s south coast. A choice destination for families, the two beaches offering soft sand and rock pools for sandcastle building and fishing for small crabs. The town remains a fishing village where crabs and lobsters are still landed, however it was once used by smugglers. Many ships have perished around the coast and the wrecks that lie beneath the waves make it a popular spot for divers. Above the beach there are a number of pubs and restaurants. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards Bigbury-on-sea in one direction and the coastal resort of Salcombe in the other.
