Occupying an enviable location on the cliff top overlooking the secluded fishing village of Hope Cove, the Lantern Lodge hotel is so named after its attractive leafily-clad 'Lantern window' Local folklore would have us believe that this type of window was specially designed to hold and display an illuminated lantern which could be seen from all three aspects far out to sea, acting as a beacon to safely guide home all their boats.Nowadays, our Lantern window serves very much the same purpose in welcoming back our contented guests year after year Looking out from nearly all our windows, you are guaranteed to be rewarded with a view of some of the most spectacular coastal scenery to be seen in South Devon Don't just take our word for it, come and see for yourselves...
