The wooded cliffs at Bolt Tail form a backdrop to this sandy cove on what is renowned as one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the South Hams. These holiday cottages are set within 100 yards of the safe sandy beach – an unrivalled position for enjoying the seaside, but also perfect for fishing, sailing and water-skiing (with a dinghy-launching slip 200 yards away, and facilities for larger boats at nearby Salcombe).
The cottages are in the centre of this charming seaside village, with its pretty thatched cottages, inns, restaurants and small shop within a short walk. The South Devon coastal footpath winds along the cliffs and through Hope Cove between Salcombe and Thurlestone, with opportunities for magnificent walking amongst glorious coastal scenery. The maritime attractions continue slightly further afield. Salcombe, 4 miles away, is one of the most prestigious sailing centres in the country. It offers extensive sandy beaches, too, and a wide choice of fascinating shops, boutiques and restaurants in its quaintly winding narrow streets. The estuary here is a kaleidoscope of brightly coloured craft of all kinds at their moorings – a paradise for sailing enthusiasts. Thurlestone, 2 miles to the west, can be reached either by car or via the coastal path. It boasts yet more expanses of golden sands, a regular feature of this lovely coastline. In addition, it has a superb cliff-top links golf course, edged by sandy coves, tennis courts and picturesque streets of thatched cottages overlooking the bay.
Kingsbridge, the ‘capital’ of the South Hams, has a good choice of interesting shops, a museum and a sports centre with squash, badminton and bowling. Boating and diving trips can be arranged in the Salcombe Estuary, and boats are available for hire. Within easy driving distance are the historic cities of Plymouth and Exeter and Kitley Caves. The wide-open spaces and breathtaking scenery of the Dartmoor National Park are less than an hour by car, and there are many National Trust properties, stately homes and interesting gardens within a short drive. Anchor Cottages are set in a little terrace in the village. They have been designed to offer ‘upside-down’ accommodation, with first floor living rooms. Comfortably furnished, each has a small first floor sitting-out area with furniture. They are ideally located for a Devon holiday by the sea. Beach 1 mile. Shop 50 yards.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 30 guests.

The property was very basic. On arrival, the property was cold and had a damp feel to it. It felt like it had been empty for some time.The bathroom is in need of some urgent modernisation. The fixtures dated from the early 1990's and the evidence of usage since that era were clear to see. The toilet seat would not stay up, one hinge was completely broken which may account for for this factor. The kitchen upstairs was again basic. It had the essential items but lacked anything other than the basics. It too looked tired and very dated. Parking is available but I would question if there is enough room in the allotted area for more than 4 cars- there are 5 properties. There seemed to be a significant amount of rubbish and waste preventing cars from turning and indeed parking. On a positive note, the upstairs living space is large and spacious with views to the sea. The property is well located to the beach and we enjoyed the short walk to it each afternoon/early evening.With some modernisation and decorating this could be a lovely property but as it stands at the moment I would not recommend it.

The cottage location is amazing. There is a carpark in front but you literally walk about 20-30 steps and you're on the beach. You can see and hear the sea from the living room windows. The cottage decor is a little dated and tired but you pay for what you get and the location is a great base and cottage provides you everything you need. I found it quite spacious. We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely go back

not worth the money we paid and certainly not worth what they advertised before they say they took a discount of £ 750 off. i don't think so!!!, the complete house needs cleaned and updated starting with the bathroom. i am very surprised cottages. com even have this place on there site. it will make me think twice about taking holiday recommendations from that site for our future holidays.
