Overview of Ashleigh
Ashleigh is a detached holiday home for ten in Hope Cove on the South Devon coast. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms provide permanent sleeping space for the full group, while the property's elevated position gives views across the village, surrounding countryside and sea. Two sandy beaches, the village pub and local shop are all approximately 200 yards away, see more large Hope Cove holiday cottages here.
The layout is unusual and works well for larger groups. All five bedrooms are on the ground floor, including three king-size rooms and two twins. The main living space is upstairs, where the open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen benefit from sea views. A separate TV room gives the group another place to relax, particularly useful when adults and children want different spaces.
Outside, there is a front patio and lawn, plus another large patio accessed directly from the first-floor kitchen. Private parking is provided for up to four cars, and one dog is welcome. The garden is not completely enclosed, so dogs and younger children will need supervision outside.
Hope Cove itself combines two sandy beaches with direct access to the South West Coast Path. Walks can head west towards South Milton and Thurlestone or east around Bolt Tail and onwards towards Salcombe.

Who is Ashleigh Best For?
Ashleigh works particularly well for one large family, two families sharing or a mixed group of adults and children. Three king-size rooms and two twins provide straightforward permanent sleeping space for ten, while the separate TV room means the whole group does not have to use the same living area throughout the stay.
The Hope Cove location is particularly suited to groups wanting a beach and walking holiday without needing the car every day. The beaches, pub and village shop are all a few minutes away on foot, and the South West Coast Path runs through the village. Guests with limited mobility should note that although all bedrooms are on the ground floor, the principal kitchen, dining and living areas are upstairs and there are steps down from the parking area to the entrance.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Ashleigh
Ashleigh has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with all of the sleeping accommodation on the ground floor. The layout provides permanent bed space for ten guests and does not rely on sofa beds, bunk rooms or temporary sleeping arrangements.
Group Accommodation Layout
| Bedroom | Bed Arrangement | Bathroom | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bedroom 1 | King-size bed | En-suite shower room | 2 |
| Bedroom 2 | King-size bed | En-suite shower room | 2 |
| Bedroom 3 | King-size bed | Shared family bathroom | 2 |
| Bedroom 4 | Twin single beds | Shared family bathroom | 2 |
| Bedroom 5 | Twin single beds | Shared family bathroom | 2 |

How does the layout work for a group of 10?
All ten guests have a proper bedroom space. The three king-size rooms work naturally for couples, while the two twin bedrooms are useful for children, teenagers or adults who prefer separate beds.
This makes Ashleigh suitable for an adult group as well as families, as none of the advertised capacity depends on converting a lounge or other communal room into sleeping accommodation.
Another useful distinction is the upside-down layout. The bedrooms are downstairs, while the kitchen, lounge, dining area and separate TV room occupy the first floor to take advantage of the sea and village views.
Bathroom Layout
Two of the king-size bedrooms have their own en-suite shower rooms. The other three bedrooms share a family bathroom with a bath, handheld shower and separate walk-in shower.
A separate cloakroom with WC is also available upstairs beside the main living area.
Facilities & Information at Ashleigh
Ashleigh's main social space is on the first floor, where the kitchen, dining and lounge areas are combined in a large open-plan room with sea views. The dining table seats up to 12, so there is plenty of room for the full group of ten to eat together.
The kitchen includes a Neff cooker, induction hob, large fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, drinks cooler and coffee machine. A separate utility room downstairs provides a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional fridge with ice box, adding useful storage and laundry capacity for a larger group.
Alongside the main lounge is a separate TV room with a Smart TV, sofa, window seat, games and books. This second living area is particularly useful when ten people are sharing the property.
Outside, the front patio has a table and chairs with steps down to the lawn. A second large patio with a glass balustrade is accessed from the upstairs kitchen. There is also an outdoor shower on the ground floor. The garden is not completely enclosed.
