    Nothing really, everything was perfect.

    The property was just so beautiful, wonderful views of the harbour from both the 1st and 2nd floors. A stones throw from the harbour, all of the restaurants, pubs and shops. Brixham was just unspoilt and perfect for a weekend break or holiday. Friendly locals and the charity Santa run made the weekend.

    The house was situated in the heart of the harbour with great views. It had all the things required for a short stay and was comfortable and clean. A nice little place to relax in the evenings after days out.

    We don’t think it had been fully cleaned prior to our stay as we found a random sock on the stairs on our arrival. However this is a minor aspect in what was a really lovely weekend.

    The property was perfectly situated right by the harbour and although the directions explained that the road to the property was very narrow that was a rather nerve wracking attempt to park in front of the property (and we do not have a large vehicle) and I would recommend suggesting parking in the short stay a short walk rather than attempting to park outside to unload. However it was a really lovely cottage with all the mod cons and we had an enjoyable stay and look forward to returning.

    Potential visitors should be aware that the road leading to the cottage is extremely narrow. There is a turning point, but another car came up behind me and I did experience problems due to the ‘congestion’!

    The location was great and the cottage was comfortable! Good communication with the agency too!

    The property was not very clean there were cobwebs everywhere and what looked like dog hairs all down the stairs. The first thing we had to do was vacuum when we first arrived which is not what you expect to do when you go away.

    it was a nice warm cosy cottage close to everything

    Nothing. I was a little anxious about dropping off my luggage, dog, his luggage when I arrived because of the narrow street and turning space. I parked in Central and walked up which was fine it is a 3 min walk. But having gained confidence I drove up to load up and leave. I have a big estate car. It was fine. I put in my wing mirrors for the narrow stretch and went slowly. The turning space was plenty big enough and my car is quite long.

    Superb location, close to the harbour, bars, restaurants and shops. walking distance to beaches. The cottage is on 3 floors. It is very well equipped and furnished. The garden is a sun trap . Sarah was very helpful on every question I asked and went out of her way to make sure I had what I needed. The parking permit is fantastic. You cannot park at the property so having the option to park anywhere in the area is brilliant.

    Freshwater car park took some finding as there were road works & diversions. Up to date information on this would have helped.

    Great location, lovely views, well equipped, small garden at the back, close to town & restaurants. Favourite restaurant was Shoals, 20 min walk but worth it. Good to have a parking permit & managed to unload & turn in the turning area as we have a small car. Enjoyed walk to Berry Head, visited Dartmouth via ferry & Coleton Fishacre - Art Deco National Trust House with lovely gardens.

    Lovely cottage, but it lacked a few things like heat mats for the wooden table, some utensils like pizza cutter not supplied. Also, for the older generation, a folder on how washing machine /oven works, and recommended places to visit etc . I was told dishwasher tablets would be supplied (which were not), and the washing up liquid was virtually empty. I had to stand it upside down to get the last drops out. Although not stated, there was hand soap in both bathrooms, but when used, it had been watered down so much it wasn't usable. Better to remove than leave it like that. Unfortunately, I found a used and bloodied piece of toilet paper by the side of the bed tables on the floor, yuck!! Would be nice to have a place to hang up the door key, too, when inside the property . Although these are trivial things , it shows you give that little extra care and thought.
