Toad Hall Cottages

Smugglers' End is an exquisite example of a Devonshire thatch and aptly named after what was probably once a smugglers' retreat. At one time two cottages, now joined together as one, it is full of character with lit inglenooks, beams and exposed stone walls combining delightful charm and a peaceful atmosphere with a spacious, comfortable and homely interior.
Being just a short distance from Hope Cove, there are beautiful views from the garden's terraced lawns out across the cliffs, sea and to the horizon beyond. The old fishing village of Hope Cove has a bit of everything for a good family holiday; two sandy beaches, large inn, restaurants, cream teas, excellent sweet and souvenir shop and access right on the South West Coastal path which meanders around the cliff tops in both directions to other beaches and villages.
