  We all enjoyed our stay at 1 Alston Farm cottage.

  Very clean and cosy cottage. Ideal location for visiting and exploring surrounding areas. The only issue we had with Sykes was the key code they had originally sent us.After receiving this code,Sykes then sent us a second code saying that this code was the correct one and to ignore the first one. When we arrived at the cottage it was pouring with rain and only to find the key code we were told to use was did not work. I managed to look through my emails from Sykes which luckily I had kept and used the first code they sent me,that turned out to be the right one in the first place. By this time we were all soaking wet and not amused. I spoke to Sykes during our stay and told them what had happened,they did not apologise for their mistake but said they would pass on what I had told them to the owner. I did not feel it was the owners fault but that of Sykes. The owner contacted me the same day to apologise for the mess up but I told her I didn't think it was her fault but that of Sykes. The owner and myself had a very nice conversation over their cottage and said we had enjoyed our stay and Antonia said she was pleased to hear that.I thanked her for contacting me and she thanked me for being understanding. I hope that Sykes resolve the key code problem.

  Pirate’s View has fantastic views over Brixham town and the harbour. It’s elevated, so is accessible by many steep steps or a steep slope; I therefore wouldn’t recommend to the less mobile - we loved the exercise though. Parking is an issue, as it’s limited and the streets are very narrow, but besides that everything else was excellent. The house is modern and styled nicely with all mod cons and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Brixham is a friendly fishing town with nice dog welcoming restaurants and pubs. The coastal walks are beautiful, very hilly if you want to venture down to the coves, but well worth it. Salcombe and Dartmouth are worth visiting. Use the ferry to cross the estuary as the journey round is long and slow. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pirate’s View and would recommend it to most people wanting to visit Brixham.

  The house was great quality, very spacious and a real home from home. There was everything you could need to have a lovely break. I’m going to miss the lovely views. An enclosed garden and off street parking would be amazing however we managed to park ok and we kept our dog on the lead when taking him out for the toilet. A bottle of wine and milk on arrival was a lovely touch too. I would like to recommend a door mat is placed on entry as not to dirty the lovely hallway, and a long handle squeegee placed in the wet room making it easy to sweep water down the plug hole easier. Excellent high standard and comfortable house, we would love to come back.

  A super clean, well equipped house a 10 minute walk to the harbour with its extensive bus & boat links to most of the touristy sites.

  As others have said there is some noise from the cross roads outside - it's not a huge issue though as the town is small enough not to have much in the way of a rush hour. There are plenty of eating options in the town - as always the reviews on tripadvisor will lead you in the right direction. The only complaint I have is the creaking floorboards in the smaller bedroom - they can be fixed rather than be viewed as part of the experience of an old house ! The friendly caretakers of the property lived eight footsteps away (I never got their names) they were a wealth of information about the area especially for those doing the coastal path walk.

  Cottage had a damp smell as you walked in the front door and when you went into both downstairs bedrooms,we asked for a twin room but they were all double rooms but this was sorted with a phone call to the maintenance team ,the grout on the tiles in the en-suite shower was very dirty with mold which I pointed out to the cleaners and they sorted very quickly ,there’s a lovely big rug in the living room but was full of dog hair and we didn’t take our dog this time other than thes small things everything was perfect,only other downside was we didn’t realise how many steps we had to walk down to get to the town and parking isn’t good
