Description
This is a superbly located South Devon beachside mews style cottage on the South West coastal path. A splendid balcony overlooks a heated swimming pool with a children’s area.Just below the first floor balcony is a wide open terrace, surrounding a superb, heated swimming pool (open from Spring Bank holiday to end September) and separate small, shallow children’s pool, edged with low walls, steps down to a further private sun terrace and from there straight onto the sandy beach with rock pools where you can swim, sail, surfboard, windsurf or just paddle a canoe. This end of terrace, reverse level cottage is comfortable with easy access to Thurlestone village and its renowned golf course and hotel. The coastal path provides beautiful walks to places like Hope Cove, with its pub and restaurants 15-20 minutes on foot and the South Milton Ley Nature Reserve, overlooked and immediately to the rear of the cottage, exceptionally good for bird watching. A welcome pack is provided for guests upon arrival including a bottle of wine and we recommend this smart seaside cottage very highly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Neptune. The view from living room and balcony was wonderful for watching the sea, the birds, the sunsets and was very relaxing. Neptune was well equipped and comfortable. We greatly appreciated the pint of milk, delicious biscuits and fresh flowers that were awaiting us when we arrived.
October 2014
A fabulous experience, the welcome pack was a lovely gesture.
September 2014
This property was one of the best we have stayed in. Lived up to all it said in the brochure.

The Beach House
(Less than a mile)
Fantastic beach café by day transforming into a romantic beach shack style seafood restaurant by night, and well worth a visit. Booking is essential for the evenings when delicious seafood dishes are produced from a tiny kitchen. A more limited menu as well as ice creams, coffees and snacks are available during the day.

Great place. Have visited in winter and summer and think I might even prefer it on a blustery winters day. The food is great and good right next to you, which does make it a little bit smelly but it's all part of the experience. The building is really unique and has an amazing location right by the beach. Summer gets a bit crazy and we found ourselves queuing a lot for the takeout food which was a bit over priced.

All aboout the location. Lovekly fresh seafood :D

Amazing food and great service.

March 2017
fantastic Supper and sunset view - what a wonderful find - will re-visit
April 2017
Very good but pricey and not the best service. No kids menu at breakfast, they expect children to have a £9 fry up which isn't great for our 6 and 8-year-old. We also asked for poached eggs rather than fried and they didn't do this.
May 2017
Wonderful location and great food, but the prices are expensive as you're paying for its premium site. Also very small inside area so you need to book if you want to sit undercover.
May 2017
Rather expensive during the day but captive audience as no other option in the area
July 2017
Excellent fish food/snacks served by happy helpful people and just next to a great beach. It can get very very busy.

Great pub! Massive improvement on the last time we came before the renovation. On sunny days we say out on the balcony looking out to sea, then when it rained we cosied up inside. The place is huge and the food was really good too. We ended up in there almost every day!

We ordered 3 cream teas, for 3 adults and a toddler........ maybe we should have ordered 2 and shared, there was so much. The scones were amazing and the coffee was spot on. Do go inside to order tho as I stood at the hatch for 10mins and was ignored.

Excellent service provided by happy efficient staff. The food was super
May 2017
This was a very dissappointing experience the staff require some good professional training and food is poor quality.
June 2017
Quintessential pub! As a 3-generational family on holiday, we had a lot of fun here each evening. The pub is fine for families (childrens menu etc), but there isn't any outside space suitable for families.
June 2017
Incredible pub. The food is outstanding with a newly earned rosette. The staff were really friendly and a great atmosphere. Would 100% recommend it for families and romantic couples!!
July 2017
A very nice meal at quite a reasonable price. Really helpful to be able to take the dog in.....!

Had a great lesson with Discovery Surf. Two hours on the Sedgewell side of Bigbury Beach. All equipment provided, the guys really knew their stuff and we were on our feet in no time. Such a buzz, definitely recommend trying it out if you've not surfed before or want to build up your confidence in the sea.

Excellent lesson in tough conditions on a windy down a Bigbury, really clear instruction, great place to srat and get in to surfing

Good course to play. Very hilly on the front 9. Don't forget the VIP card for the discount. You can book tee times on their website. Take plenty of balls if it's windy. ????

South Milton Sands
(Less than a mile)
A long stretch of sand broken only by the South Milton Ley freshwater reed bed, South Milton Sands is a dramatic beach that’s exposed to the elements, making it something of a chameleon throughout the year. Rugged in its beauty, there’s nothing quite like watching the sun set at this beach behind an iconic rock archway in the water; it really is spectacular, particularly if you do so over dinner in the summer months from The Beach Café, a small but perfectly formed restaurant and café that’s perched just above the sand. If you want a table inside then you really do have to book this one, but if the weather is fine then eating outside is a joy. The beach is sandy and popular on windy days with kite surfers and windsurfers, but in calmer weather is perfect for a summer swim. Dogs are welcome at South Milton throughout the year, there’s a National Trust car park by the beach which costs from £5 for the day, £3 after 4pm or is free for National Trust members. There are also toilets nearby. It’s also worth knowing that in the summer months lifeguards are in situ from 6th July until 8th September, keeping everyone safe in the sun, sea and sand. When the weather is less conducive to sitting and admiring the view, South Milton is perfectly placed for a stroll along the coast path either towards Hope Cove and around towards Salcombe if you fancy making a day of it, or in the opposite direction you can walk towards Bantham and Bigbury on Sea. It’s a wonderful place to explore and watch Devon’s wildlife in all its glory.

May 2017
A beautiful coastal village with two sandy beaches. The village centre has some pretty thatched cottages and there is a good choice of places to eat most with sea views. We ate most nights at the Hope and Anchor and they are dog friendly. We enjoyed walking along the coastal paths with fine views from both sides of the village. Hope Cove is a good base to explore South Devon with Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Totnes within easy reach.

Breathtaking views, very quiet village, very peaceful.

Fantastic unique place with sea both sides of the beach when the tide is out and Burgh Island to walk to with a lovely old pub but inefficient service.
April 2017
Rather run down and disappointing that visitors are made to feel rather unwanted with only a small section of the pub open to non-residents and the hotel off limits completely to non-residents. View from the top lovely, but I wouldn't drive miles and miles to visit. What attracted me was the parting of the sea and that was a lovely view
