Smugglers' End is a charming thatched holiday cottage located in Galmpton, near the picturesque fishing village of Hope Cove in Devon, South West England. This delightful retreat, which sleeps nine guests across four bedrooms, is steeped in history and character, likely serving as a smugglers' hideaway in the past. The cottage features inviting elements such as illuminated inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, and stone walls, creating a warm and homely atmosphere. Its spacious interior is designed for comfort, making it an ideal choice for family vacations.
The property boasts a beautiful garden with terraced lawns that offer stunning views of the cliffs and the sea, extending to the horizon. Guests can enjoy the serene surroundings and the peaceful ambiance that the cottage provides. The location is particularly advantageous for those wanting to explore the natural beauty of the South West Coastal Path, which runs along the cliffs and connects to other nearby beaches and villages, perfect for leisurely walks and outdoor activities.
Hope Cove itself is a charming destination with a variety of amenities that cater to families. Visitors can enjoy two sandy beaches, a large inn, and several restaurants, as well as indulge in traditional cream teas. The village also features a sweet shop and souvenir store, adding to its appeal as a family-friendly holiday spot. The combination of natural beauty and local attractions ensures that there is something for everyone to enjoy during their stay.
It is important to note that while the garden is a lovely place for children to play, adult supervision is required for very young children due to its layout. Additionally, guests should be aware that the cottage is situated opposite a working potato farm, which may result in early morning vehicle movements during the harvest season from July to September. Overall, Smugglers' End offers a unique blend of historical charm, comfort, and access to the scenic beauty of the Devon coastline.
