With its idyllic setting, the cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the breathtaking Devon coast, ensuring that guests will want to return time and again to this enchanting retreat.
The property is set within the scenic Hooe Lake, which spans 14 hectares and is managed as a private area accessible to the public.

The cottage's bathroom is conveniently located on the ground floor, ensuring ease of access. A secluded back garden provides a tranquil space for sunbathing, while the enclosed lakeside garden at the front invites guests to enjoy morning coffee or evening barbecues while taking in the scenic beauty of the lake and its boats.
Conveniently situated, Clover Cottage is just a 30-minute walk along the South Coast Pathway to the Mount Batten ferry, which transports visitors to the vibrant Barbican area of Plymouth, known for its rich maritime history and attractions like the National Maritime Museum and Plymouth Gin Distillery. Closer to the cottage, guests can find a minimarket and a local pub, enhancing the experience with easy access to amenities. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the South West Coastal Path, while those interested in golfing can enjoy nearby facilities.
