The Cottage Restaurant The Cottage Restaurant is renowned among visitors and locals alike for the excellence of its cuisine and service…and, just as important, the superb views of the cove and harbour and out to sea beyond Bolt Tail. Watching the ships go by while enjoying a very English Breakfast is truly a memorable experience. And at night what better way to end the day than with an aperitif as the sun sets into the sea. In the evening you can see the lights of Plymouth Sound and the Eddystone Lighthouse in the distance. The restaurant offers both table d'hote and a la carte menus, with fresh fish and a vegetarian dish available every evening, together with a wonderful array of dishes prepared by our team. You can enjoy locally caught crab, lobster, lemon sole, seabass…plus a sweet trolley prepared by our own patissier and cheese from around the West Country. The Cottage House drinks selection caters for every taste - wines from around the world, mineral waters, and fruit juices, spirits, beers and lagers. The house wines are truly special. You can enjoy drinks from the cocktail bar, perhaps taking them into the intimate cabin created from the windjammer Herzogin Cecilie, wrecked just along the coast from Hope Cove in 1936.

Away from it all...but so close to everything Along this rugged Heritage coastline there are miles of delightful and varied scenery. The village of Hop Cove nestles in the shelter of Bolt Tail in the curve of Bigbury Bay.
