Welcome to Lantern Lodge Hotel, Hope Cove , Kingsbridge

The Lantern Lodge Hotel is small privately run hotel situated on the cliff top right next to the South Devon Coastal path and overlooking the secluded fishing village of Hope Cove with its Devon thatch cottages, clean, sandy and safe beaches.

Near by are the old traditional towns of Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Dartmouth all offering their own individual character and all offering that little extra to make your stay in the South Hams that extra special and unique. Also close by are Thurlestone, Bigbury and Dartmouth golf courses all with stunning views of the area and fantastic and challenging course's.

The Lantern Lodge Hotel has its own special extra's to offer including an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, double, twin and four poster rooms all with en-suite facilities and some with sea views. 9 hole putting green and plenty of car parking. There is a restaurant where breakfast and dinner is served. Next to the restaurant is a well stocked bar and a extensive wine list offering wines from all around the world.

The 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.

Comfortable rooms with a view

All the bedrooms are furnished and decorated to a high standard with en-suite facilities. They all have tea, coffee, biscuits, flat screen t.v's with freeview and free wifi.

Because of the location some rooms can offer sea views that can only be described as magnificent, with a panorama stretching from Bolt Tail to the Great Mew Stone just off Plymouth Sound and to the coast of Cornwall and far beyond. On clear days you can even see the Eddystone light house which is still working to keep our ships and crews safe in the rough seas.

Three of the hotels sea view rooms are with four poster beds for that extra special occasion whether it's an Anniversary, birthday or just a romantic break away.

Lantern Lodge has a fine reputation for its high standard of cuisine, much of which is prepared utilising fresh local produce.
Residents can enjoy a full English breakfast, bar snacks at lunchtime, traditional Devon cream teas in the afternoon and a comprehensive dinner menu that offers something to tempt every palate.
