  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.

  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.

  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.

  Nice comfortable place to stay handy for walking to Brixham.

  The only thing we didn't like was the road noise. Radiator in bathroom didn't come on when we stayed but the rest of the place was toasty we just left the doors open so nowhere was cold. Minor points carpets need a clean in the bedroom as previously someone's spilt something and good underlay in the future. Yes i did have to wash glasses before we used them but that's often the case with holiday lets not an issue for us.

  The property is really lovely, we were impressed when we arrived.

  Very clean & comfortable. Everything you need, location great as only 10 mins walk into Brixham. Only 2 tiny niggles - the front door mortise lock is difficult to open & lock so we were worried about breaking the key & the upstair flooring is really creaky when trying to walk around or walking to bathroom at night. Apart from that it’s a real lovely property & well worth staying there.
