  An excellent property for our group of 8, for several reasons: 1.

  Most had their own bedroom and en-suite - not easy to find such provision. 2. What a relief to have 2 guaranteed parking spaces (for fairly large cars) on the front, and we were always able to park 2 other cars on the road opposite or in the lane round the corner. 3. Well placed for using public transport: regular no 12 bus to the harbour or to Paignton/Torquay or towards Dartmouth; we took the bus to Paignton, the steam train return to Kingswear, the short ferry to Dartmouth. A 20 minute walk to the harbour, but some of us took the bus or got a taxi back up the hill (£5 with tip). 4. Plenty of pubs and restaurants. We liked the Golden Lion, 5 minutes walk down the hill towards town - reasonably priced pub food and a pleasant atmosphere. Recommend the Albero (the fish menu is good); the Prince William has a good outlook over the harbour; the Casa Nostra Italian was pleasant. We ran out of nights to try the Rockfish with its interesting looking fish menu. 5. Spoilt for things to do: walks both ways along the coast, or round the coast from Dartmouth; drive or walk to Berry Head - the wild flowers were lovely; drive or bus to Kingswear/Dartmouth and do the river cruise to Agatha Christie's house (National Trust) and gardens; Dartmouth itself is interesting and photogenic, and the museum with focus on Thomas Newcomen and his 1712 'the world's first steam engine' is worth a visit (plus the extra free bit at the tourist office). And of course the harbour area of Brixham itself is very scenic. So yes, we can recommend the property and the area!

  We loved our stay at April Cottage. We stay in Brixham probably twice a year and have done so for more than 7 years, so all in all have stayed in many apartments and cottages in the town. For many reasons, this was one of our very favourites. For the three of us (two adults, hulking teenager and dog) it was perfectly spacious and we loved the open plan layout downstairs. The huge family dining table was wonderful and the views from the lounge window were gorgeous, right down to the Breakwater. Being just a few minutes' walk (downhill) into town was excellent because it was very quiet, there was parking right outside the door - SO rare in Brixham - and there were places to walk the dog first and last thing right on the doorstep. The walk back from town regularly brought us past The Manor, one of our favourite spots, so the walk back up hill was nicely broken up! The quality of furniture and everything provided was excellent - we managed to cook a full Christmas dinner without any problem at all. And Rob, the owner, was really friendly and helpful. The welcome gifts of wine, card and even some crackers were thoughtful and much appreciated. We wanted a relaxing family Christmas break with our dog, somewhere comfy and cosy - and that's exactly what we got with April Cottage. Would highly recommend.

  We were extremely disappointed with our stay and had to raise issues from day one.

  Kettle was dangerous as it just kept boiling, no washing bowl and no plug in sink. They were the small issues. Radiators broken and one on permanently which was unpleasant with it being warm outside! Not cleaned properly, crisps and dust found in drawers, balloons and dirt under sofa. Don’t get me started on the mould! In the kitchen under the sink, in the lean to, in the boiler cupboard and in the wardrobes. We couldn’t even hang our clothes (had to live hour of a suitcase). There is clearly a problem that needs addressing to stop the mould long term. Owners say they have cleaned it but unless treated properly this will come back! Facilities - there might be enough sleeping facilities for 11 but downstairs does not accommodate this. The kitchen is not big enough, table cannot seat 11 even if using the breakfast bar. No cupboards to put food in and only one small fridge (not enough space for 11). The pictures are deceiving and make this property look better than it is. For the amount we paid we would not come back and would not recommend this for families or anyone with health problems.

  Sea Breeze provided a very comfortable base for our stay in Brixham. We were 2 couples visiting friends nearby, and the entire stay was faultless. From the easy and friendly reservation phone call to leaving the property, it went very smoothly. We unloaded the car at the top of the property and easily found parking just one street away. Inside, the house is lovely, fully equipped with top quality furniture and fittings, very clean and comfortable. Outside, there is a selection of sunny sitting areas. The view from the lounge is amazing. We walked everywhere the throughout the weekend - up to Berry Head, and down into town (eating at the Wine Loft and Beamers), and picking up supplies from the high street and the fish market. I appreciated the communication both by phone and email - it was exceptional. Thank you for a lovely, memorable stay.

  This was a really lovely cottage and very spacious - perfect for our family of four. Beautiful views and the extra provisions such as the Nespresso machine and Bose speaker were appreciated. Kitchen equipment all in good working order and high quality. Bedrooms very spacious and comfortable beds. Easy access to town down either a few flights of stairs to the harbour or down a very steep road without steps - doesn't take long though. The park out the front is a great asset as is the playground around the corner. Car parking is tight - although we always found a space on the same road you get very good at tight parallel parking and the road is a busy as drivers use it is a cut-through. But this is the same pretty much anywhere along the coast!
