Great Position and great host
We just loved the design and amazing attention to detail of the beautiful Old Guard property right near the beach in Hope Cove. Super design with everything we needed to feel like a home from home. The host was super responsive and welcoming and I can’t wait to stay again!

Amazing Property
We know hope Cove very well and have stayed in many properties over the years but none have had the amazing view that this property has. The layout is quirky but it works well and waking up in the main bedroom with the view is well worth the effort with the fold up bed. 5* rating is well deserved

Beautiful location, tranquil setting
The property is in a fabulous location. Easy access to the beach, great veranda for a cuppa first thing or a Prosecco in the evening watching the sunset. Comfy beds, good quality linen and towels. Great for all ages

Beautiful property and unbeatable location
Had a great week at The Old Guard. The property is stunning and incredibly well set up. Everything you need and works well for a family of 5. The views are amazing, and Hope Cove has everything you need from a Devon beach holiday. Really can't fault this place. Wendy's communication before and during the holiday was comprehensive and so useful. Thanks for a great holiday!
