Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property to be clean and well-maintained, with only a few isolated comments about cobwebs and a blocked shower drain. The positive remarks about cleanliness far outweigh the negatives.
The location is highly praised for its convenience, stunning views, and easy access to Brixham and the coastal path. It is considered a highlight of the property, contributing to a peaceful holiday experience.
Comfort received mixed reviews. While some guests found the property and the new bed comfortable, others mentioned issues with the sofa, bed size, and noise from nearby entertainment. The presence of a comfortable new sofa and bed in some reviews helped maintain a relatively high score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, there were several mentions of maintenance issues such as a closed pool, smelly drains, a loud fridge, and a problematic toaster, which slightly lowered the score.
While some guests mentioned receiving a bottle of wine and Easter treats, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures being a standard practice to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are appreciated but not guaranteed.

It was spotlessly clean and well furnished. Brixham is a shortish walk along the cliffs and it is absolutely delightful. Can't wait to go back!

The whole place was spotless & in such a beautiful setting. We had everything we could need to make it a home from home, even a dishwasher. We didn't need to use our car at all whilst staying. We walked along the coastal path to Brixham everyday where you can get about by bus or boat. We would highly recommend staying here, thankyou for a wonderful holiday!
