  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.

  The Nook was a beautifully presented cottage with lots of traditional features and modern touches.

  The welcome pack was much appreciated after a long drive, thankyou. It was close to the town centre and a great base for a week's holiday. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate at home several evenings. A couple of points worth noting: The traffic lights are two cars length from the front door and awaiting cars can be heard clearly as the front door opens directly into the pavement. The road can be noisy. The instructions state no parties and be considerate neighbours but the neighbour to our left was not so considerate and partied onto 4:00am on the first Monday, so much so we had to change rooms. The detail of the cottage includes woodburning stove and starter pack. This is not accurate. It is a gas fire. The cottage is centrally heated so we didn't need to use it, but it is misleading. That being said we had a great week and enjoyed our stay in Brixham.

  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.

  The apartment is really lovely and so well equipped. Perfect for our family of 4. Location for walking into brixham is great. Only downside was the traffic noise in the front bedroom which I know is unavoidable but my hope of being able to lay in bed a bit longer in the morning wasn’t achieved! It should perhaps be made a bit clearer that the long stay parking is a 20 minute walk from the door and you can’t park outside to unload as the door is pretty much at the crossing and it’s double yellows. Other than that we had a fabulous little holiday. Thank you

  We have had a lovely week staying at this cottage - the location is excellent for visiting the surrounding area particularly Brixham, Paignton, Totnes and Dartmouth.

  The cottage itself is very warm and comfortable with everything needed to feel at home. One of the reasons we chose this cottage is because it is dog friendly. The cottage is set in a courtyard with several other properties - some residential - and unfortunately some of the residents seem to have a dislike of dogs being there, which made us feel extremely uncomfortable even with our Labrador on the lead. For this reason alone we would not return to this cottage which is a shame as it has everything needed for a lovely holiday.
