Having stayed there for five Christmases so far, we can only give our experiences for that time of year. We book for the Christmas house party each year, and each year we are not disappointed. The hotel is certainly showing its age, but surely that is it's charm! The original building was started in the 1800s and has been added... more

What a lovely experience. The setting is wonderfull, the service from all the staff is first class. The food is second to none. The whole place is comfortable. The style of the place is such that you could almost imagine Miss Marple appearing in the lounge !!! We took my elderly parents for a few days break & this is... more

This is a hotel with a difference;- caught in time, stunning location, mouth-watering food, excellent staff, magnificent views, tremendous walks - and then there's William Ireland!!!! The man makes the hotel what it is. He is witty and informative, works non-stop, cares genuinely about his guests and no request is too much trouble. It was well worth the trip from... more

We did not stay at the hotel but went for Sunday lunch. It was like stepping back in time but the food was fab to say the least, the sweet trolley was great ! more

This was our third journey to the Cottage and we looked upon it as a perfect way to chill out after a couple of difficult months at work. Not their fault that my car blew up shortly before reaching Totnes, and that my wife was in agony throughout with a severe ear infection. Chilling out therefore not easy, but the... more

The Cottage on Hope Cove is a real retreat. Its not modern luxury decor but has all the best aspects of a traditional British hotel. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, the food is excellent with a set dinner that goes on for course after course and all in a restaurant where you can gaze out to sea. The... more

After reading the reviews on this hotel I was expecting it to need a little facelift. However, our experience was pretty poor. The location is lovely but the room, for the price of it which was around £140, was terrible. The bedspread was stained, the bed needed a new mattress, the tiny bathroom built into the room and my husband... more

The Cottage Hotel is the perfect retreat for those wanting to be near the sea, stay in comfort, enjoy fine food and relax in charming, homely surroundings. The balcony on our lovely sea-view room was just perfect for relaxing, soaking up the sun and watching the comings and goings of the beach-goers and the varied sea craft. The view is... more
