A PLACE WORTH KNOWING

A little hotel above the cove, with a very good lunch plan

Sea-view rooms, Mediterranean sharing dishes and a terrace above Inner Hope.

Hope Cove House makes a relaxed base for a day that revolves around the water. Above Inner Hope, its terrace and restaurant bring the cove into view, while the kitchen takes a Mediterranean direction with seasonal dishes made for sharing. There are several ways to work it into a visit: breakfast is available to non-residents, lunch is served daily, and coffee, cake or cream tea offer a smaller excuse to stop. For a longer escape, the hotel has just ten ensuite rooms, including doubles, twins and family suites, all advertised with sea views. A separately booked coastal sauna adds another possibility. This is a lovely idea for friends who want time together without an elaborate itinerary: a meal, a view and room to let the afternoon unfold.

The lovely little details

  • Ten ensuite rooms include doubles, twins and family suites.
  • Seasonal Mediterranean dishes are designed for sharing.
  • The coastal sauna is booked separately through Steam Works.
