Beach Cove is a small, couples-leaning resort at Hele Bay on the North Devon coast, run by Darwin Escapes. Accommodation is all one bedroom: beach huts with views over the bay, three apartments, and premier lodges with private hot tubs. Bed linen and towels are included.

The beach is about a two-minute walk from the huts, and Ilfracombe is around 30 minutes away on foot by road or the coast path. There is no pool or on-site eating; the nearest pubs and cafes are in Hele and Ilfracombe. Dogs are allowed in pet-friendly units only.
