Quietly tucked in the picture-postcard Inner Hope square with its thatched and cob cottages, Pigeon Post could hardly be better positioned for a stay in this idyllic part of South Devon. Once a sleepy fishing village, Hope Cove is now a deservedly popular destination for the discerning holidaymaker. The superb sandy beaches are a very few minutes' walk from the house the closest being just a minute's walk away and there is also immediate access along a footpath to the National Trust headland of Bolt Tail, part of the South West Coast Path. Hope Cove offers a whole range of activities for the visitor; as well as its sheltered sandy beaches it's also good for diving, surfing and canoeing and you can launch a boat from the slipway in the harbour.

Built in 1904, Pigeon Post stands proudly beside a Methodist chapel, under the lee of the hills. The three-storey building has been recently renovated throughout to a very high standard - Visit Britain 4 stars grading - and has an attractive private garden and patio at the rear. Well-equipped, it also offers Wireless Broadband Internet acces and there are a number of thoughtful 'extras' - please refer to the "Services" section for details.
