Bayview

Sofas are very uncomfortable ,had to sit on patiand kitchen chairs,this point has been raised by previous occupants .

Fantastic views and location is perfect but the sofas would put us off booking again . The bedroom was too small could only just squeeze past the end of the double bed. Also absence of lighting in the car park.For £1000 per week it is disappointing to have these complaints .

We have already recommended Sandpiper at The Cove, we were walking and a man asked us what it was like in our accommodation and who we booked with.

We told him Sykes and that our accommodation was beautiful. He thanked us and said he would book in future. Our stay was fantastic, the accommodation was so calm and inviting.The neutral, nautical/sea colour scheme was gorgeous. The accommodation had everything we needed for a weeks stay, we were even left biscuits and a chilled bottle of wine.We used the dishwasher, oven and washing machine, they were ideal for us and easy to use. The balcony had a lovely table and chairs, we also used the mini body board at the sea. The owners have thought of everything.We weren't bothered by noise or neighbours, it was so peaceful. The secure parking and key safe made our stay easier without having to think about where to park.There was a man litter picking the grounds and making sure everything was ship shape. The 3 coves within walking distance; Fishcombe, Churston and Elberry were beautiful and the sea was so clear, perfect for swimming. Brixham town was a 15 minute walk along a stunning coastal path. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you for some lovely memories.

Thanks very much for the complimentary biscuits & wine, very much appreciated.

Lovely view from the balcony across the bay. Lovely modern apartment. Left nothing wanting apart from the soft furnishings which were too low for me.

Fantastically situated apartment with amazing views of the cove and great outdoor pool.

Only downsides were; it gets extremely hot in the summer with no air ventilation at night, unless you sleep with the patio door open. This would be possible if there was a security door at the top of the stairs. We went out & bought fans, as none in apartment. The sofas were saggy & the decking on the balcony was tired & needed cleaning.

Lovely place to stay.

Location perfect for walking to Brixham or to the surrounding little coves. The accommodation was great for a week’s stay, it was clean on arrival and all the amenities we needed. Had a lovely time, very relaxing and peaceful and would definitely recommend to others.

Excellent facilities but lacks a deep freeze apart from ice box which needs defrosting, another that the kitchen was very well equipped.

Wouldn’t recommend the apartment if you mobility problems because of the steps.

We loved this property great location and kept absolutely top notch they must have an excellent housekeeping team.

we will be returning next year Plenty of great walks around and loved walking to Brixham in the evening carole

We found No4 Sandpiper Bayview to be a clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment that offered wonderful views of the bay.

Allocated parking added to the experience. Situated next to the Coastal Footpath and within easy walking distance to Brixham we were able to enjoy a number of walks and explore the beautiful Devon coastline. Highly recommended holiday destination.

We had a nice break.

The location and property is lovely. The cleaning could be improved as there were quite a few cobwebs and spiders in the bathroom, bedrooms and kitchen/lounge area.

The apartment is perfect.

There’s everything you need the car park is a little far away from the apartment

A clean and well maintained property in a stunning location.

Great views and lovely walks on the doorstep. Ideal for a leisurely walk into Brixham. Would highly recomnend

Perfect setting!

Away from the hustle and bustle of Brixham but only a short walk along the coastal path to get into town! Lovely apartment over looking Fishcombe Cove.

Outstanding apartment everything was excellent couldn’t find a fault, fantastic views over the bay.

We would definitely book this again when traveling to Brixham.

Lovely apartment well thought out and a delight to stay in.

Very well presented and equipped Great Views on balcony. Only minor issue during stay main entrance gates not alway opening and the gate keys are box was empty. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall the apartment was excellent.

Nicely furnished, clean and excellent location..Will return and also recommend. A few points that impacted our week there was that the smart TV on the wall in the lounge stopped working after a few days, we contacted Pauline the cleaner who was the property contact who was amazing in trying her best to help by lending us a temporary basic TV because she was unable to gain a direct reply from the owner. Unfortunately the weather was not dry so missing out on being able to have a cosy relaxing time watching films on Netflix/Prime was not an option. We also found both sofas very unsupportive and low which made them uncomfortable for long term sitting. Possibly just a personal preference but it did impact our enjoyment of the property a little bit. If the weather had been kinder then the impact of these two things would obviously have been less. None of this should detract from the overall quality and location of Bayview/Sandpiper 4 and Pauline was lovely and as helpful as she could be. Easier contact with the owner to get any issues sorted/authorised quickly would be welcomed if possible in future, but highly rated this accommodation as this is the second time we have stayed there.

We needed a rest and Bayview gave us exactly that.

We didn’t need to move our car as it was a 10 minute walk along the coast to Brixham. Bayview was clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped with a beautiful view. To lay in bed and watch the Gannets diving into the sea, then to walk to Brixham and see lots of seals was a joy. We are planning our next visit.

Had a wonderful week in Brixham.

Bayview was a great base to walk into the town and harbour. The apartment was one of the most cleanest holiday places we have stayed in this country. Only down side was mattress was very hard, but it hasn't stopped us booking for next year already.

Lovely clean apartment with beautiful views.

Kitchen equipped with everything you need and of very good quality. Bathroom towels so thick and fluffy.

The property had everything we needed (and more) for a relaxing stay by the seaside with our children.

The apartment was comfortable and clean. The view is quite simply spectacular and we struggled to come home! The complex felt secure and safe: our children played out the front and we could watch them from the balcony. The pool was great and never busy- just wish it could stay open a little later as we would have enjoyed using it after a day out. Open 10-6. The only thing to bear in mind, the balcony doesn't have a gate on it so children can walk straight down the stairs. This meant we had to keep the balcony doors shut in the morning to keep our youngest inside! Wouldn't stop us booking again though...it was a truly fantastic holiday.

Excellent accommodation.

Lovely uninterrupted view of the bay.

Wonderful property, clean, with everything we needed for our weeks stay.

My only slight criticism is that the pillows were lumpy & could do to be renewed.

Lovely accommodation with spectacular views.

Easy access to shop’s restaurants & coastal path walks.

The apartment was very well equipped and really well looked after and the view was amazing and we'd definitely consider returning in the future.

The down side was, unfortunately the mattress in the master bedroom was uncomfortable, I felt like I was going to fall out of bed everytime I moved, so I ended up sleeping in the twin room. Also, Dispite the kitchen being well equipped, there was lack of storage for our own items, mainly shopping.

We had a fabulous stay - Thank-you.

The only thing I would say needs to be updated is the frying pans in the kitchen.

Lovely apartment, great location.

Facilities were good except for a couple of niggles - the pillows were hard and lumpy and the duvets were too thick for summer weather, especially in the main bedroom, which has no opening window due to the sliding doors therefore no ventilation, maybe a small fan would be helpful. The kitchen facilities were high standard except for the fridge which was very small and the shelf in the door was broken which further reduced the fridge storage.

There was no fan very hot wasn’t as clean as should have been for price no fresh milk pillows hard and flat expected a higher standard but on a positive great location spectacular views

A lovely apartment with beautiful views of Torbay.

Very comfortable and well equipped. Easy access to Brixham a gentle 15 minute stroll along the coastal path. The swimming pool on the site was an added bonus especially in the hot weather. We would highly recommend it.

Lovely apartment with fabulous sea views.

Good location for walk into Brixham and visiting Torquay and Paignton that are close by. Has direct access to own beach and on site swimming pool. Quality gas Barbecue included. Only gripe is bedrooms are a little small but would definitely return. Several large supermarkets within 5 miles.

second visit, really love the accommodation and the views from the terrace are wonderful.

we will hopefully be back before too long.

Enjoyed our stay at Bay View.

Parking easy apartment well equipped with excellent heating. The only negative would be the duvet which seemed old and lumpy.

Lovely apartment with great view.

A little difficult to get your luggage in so do travel light if you have a back problem Needs new knife set, but would highly recommend

Super apartment.

Comfortable, well maintained and excellently equipped. Lovely view of the bay - you could watch the fishing boats coming in and out in the morning. Well situated on the south west cost path with an easy walk through the park into town. Saw seals in the Elberry bay!!

The property was clean and had everything we needed.

The views were lovely across torbay. It was an easy 20 minute walk into brixham through battery park. The biscuits and wine was welcome. The best sykes accomodation we have stayed.

Loved this property which is why I returned for a second visit this year.

Views are amazing, the apartment is lovely and attention to detail is very good too. Only small snag is the water pressure for the shower is extremely low which caused lots of issues with trying to clean my hair, because of this I could only ever visit for a maximum of 3 nights which is a shame.

very nice apartment, I would like to live there!

Excellent accommodation with good directions both getting to the property and during our stay by way of service manuals.

The property was clean and well presented.

The apartment is so thoughtfully equipped, there is far more than mentioned in the listing.

Hairdryers in both bedrooms, freezer compartment in the fridge, iron and ironing board. CDs, books, playing cards and even binoculars, just to mention a few of the extras I noticed! It is perfectly located for exploring all the coves and beaches for miles. The coastal path is moments away and accesses them all. The view is incredible, and in a peaceful surrounding. We saw several seals close up. Couldn’t ask for more! (I may have shed a few tears on departure) Thank you for a beautiful base to a beautiful, memorable holiday

Great holiday apartment with wonderful views and good location.

Enjoyed the lovely walks into Brixham will definitely book again

Lovely clean apartment, well stocked.

Really appreciated the wine and biscuits on arrival. Superb views and location, very peaceful. 10 minute walk into town via the costal path (you can see this from your balcony). Loved waking up to the view from the main bedroom.

Spotlessly clean , lovely welcome pack .

Great location , we actually couldn’t fault anything . Would return and highly recommend. We had a great week and were lucky to have nice weather in march .

Absolutely brilliant All we needed & more Thank You

Beautiful, well appointed apartment.

A real pleasure to stay there.

The accommodation was clean and well maintained.

There was everything provided that anyone could possibly need. It was warm and welcoming and a great base to explore the surrounding area.

Apartment was even better than in the photos.

Amazing view. Every little detail was thought of, which is rare when staying away from home. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Located in a lovely quiet area and still within walking distance of Brixham Harbour. Only downside was no pen to write a lovely review in the guest book. Will definitely be back!

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful location.

Well appointed and very peaceful with wonderful views. Great coastal walks on your doorstep and an easy walk into Brixham. Would definitely recommend it.

The apartment is in an ideal location in a small development.

We loved waking each morning to the incredible view over the bay. The beautiful apartment is very well equipped. Secure parking was a bonus.

The apartment was perfect very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

The only downside is the walk into town takes longer than suggested in reviews and is all uphill on the way back just impossible if you have mobility issues like me. However a taxi will drop you by the harbour for £4. One other thing to note, your car won’t be beside the flat the car park is a wee bit further back so you will need to carry your belongings from the car park to the flat. As it says in the description it’s a first floor flat, the stairs are manageable but when you add on the walk from the car park with cases etc it’s quite tough! Well worth it though for the view and the lovely accommodation. We had only one niggle. We couldn’t get into Netflix and contacted the number given to us by Sykes which turned out to be the cleaners number. She had to contact the owner and that took 2 days before she was able to get back to us - and then it was the wrong password but we gave up because we were leaving the next day but it raises the question of how quickly the owner responds if you have a problem

Great accommodation and location.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely book with Sykes again. Thanks.

The direction could have been better.

The road name on which The Cove is situated was not given. The apartment was in a beautiful situation and was very well equipped. Sadly the weather was very poor but we were very comfortable as the rain came down.

The apartment was smaller than we expected.

It was suitable for two people and perhaps two adults and two young children. It would be unsuitable for a party of four adults,

Accommodation was extremely clean and in an amazing setting.

The only Thing is that the postcode on the Sykes cottages app is incorrect

Very clean, only a short walk on the coastal path, to Brixham centre.

Fantastic view from balcony. Yes, the bedrooms are small, but you don't go on holiday to sit in the bedroom.

The beds were a little smaller than expected but overall a really nice apartment with lovely views.

Accommodation was lovely with an amazing view across the bay (just like the photo).

Very clean and a few little unexpected extras included. There is currently some local construction work taking place in the area so quite noisy in the day if you were trying to relax on the decking. Also a little disappointed that the swimming pool wasn't open as this was one of the main reasons for booking. Understandable maybe in these times, but we weren't warned in advance.

The facilities, the cleanliness the comfort the area were all absolutely spot on.

Fantastic property and wouldn't think twice about returning. The only minor thing would be the decking outside got quite slippery when wet.

Brilliant views across the expanse of Torbay and beyond to Lyme Bay and the Jurassic coast.

Easy access on foot to Brixham on paved coast path. Great base for walking the south west coast path either east around Torbay to Torquay or west to Berry Head,Sharkham Point etc., or across country to Kingswear and the River Dart with return to Brixham by boat, steam train or bus:no need for car.

Just a few minor issues, The gate code is not 1115 as per the confirmation email it’s- press Clear-02861-press Enter.

The contact number is for the cleaning company, and they have not had a contract with the owners for this property for over 2 years. On arrival none of the beds were made up, there was some bed linen but we couldn’t tell wether it was clean or used, because it was just stacked on top of the dresser, so my wife had to wash it. But overall the property was great, in a great location and we intend to return again.

Excellent location and overall, this was an outstanding experience.

Brixham is a beautiful fishing town with plenty going on , and an ideal base for exploring south Devon. Pool was really warm and clean and the 2 coves on your doorstep are fabulous especially with resident seal making regular appearances. We had excellent weather and this was on par with any of our foreign jaunts.

Overall exceptional apartment and location looking over the bay.

Slightly small bedrooms but no issue. Would highly recommend this apartment and the area for a central point for travelling around south Devon

No notification of steep inclines , in all directions!

!. Slippery walkways when wet!!. Access & exit, only gained through balcony doors ( never had that before ). VERY uncomfortable bed, very little space around bed, have bruises to prove it!!!. Sofas not comfortable. Television much to high on wall. Both I, and my wife, have aching backs, and cricked necks, just watching TV!!!. Had to purchase 2 mugs, as all mugs were degrained inside. For a quiet place, not so quiet, first day, we had, drum & base from cafe, which started at 4pm, went on until 10:30pm. Every morning, we had the noise of a JCB, working, up the hill. The day before leaving, we had a morning car wash event, right below us. To compare this property, to any other, 2 bedroom apartment, we have stayed,( and there’s many), this would come bottom!!!!!!. Regards... Mr Chris Barton.

Great apartment, great location only issue was the barbecue was filthy and unusable

We had a lovely week there over Easter and had some amazing weather, sitting on the veranda looking at the lovely views, everything was there that you needed for a pleasant stay, definitely recommend

Bedrooms uncomfortably small particularly the front bedroom which was almost entirely occupied by the standard-sized 4'6"" double bed!

! Arrival instructions confusing and, with regard to the key-safe, difficult. Entry keypad very difficult to read in many different lights. Instructions need to be amended to comply with the keypad for the entry procedure. "Entry" not "open". The key-safe was very difficult to access which may have been through wear-and-tear through multiple use. It took many attempts to actually open despite always using the correct code. In the wind and rain we experienced upon arrival made the lengthy access to the apartment very, very uncomfortable. Another issue discovered upon arrival was to find the incorrect wifi code in the information folder.

Really enjoyed our stay at Bayview.

The tea, coffee biscuits and wine were a nice welcome treat. Generally, the apartment was clean. However, the fridge smelt strongly of fish and needed a couple of good cleans before we felt we could put our food in it. There wasn’t anything to clean or wipe down the surfaces other than dish-washing liquid and it would have been handy to have bleach or a toilet cleaner in the bathroom too. Many of the drinking glasses were dirty, possible from the dish-washer but needed washing before we could use them. In the bathroom, due to the shape of the bath, a small grab rail for getting in and out of the shower would be useful.

Had a fantastic holiday again having booked the same week year before - weather was exceptional.

Recommend the round robin trip to Dartmouth.

You'd be hard Pressed to find a place with better views.

with it being the first floor apartment just gives you a far better view point of the whole of Torbay. All the fittings are of top quality. Along With a lovely walk into Brixham Harbour which takes a steady 20 minutes, which has plenty of benches for a sit down if needed. The Apartment does look bigger in the photos TBH. We will go there again for sure.

We were disappointed to find no mention of very hilly terrain and was not at all suitable for people with mobility difficulties.

There was no proper freezer facilities, except a frozen up ice box in the fridge. The site from time to time had effluent smells, and noises from military Exhibitions and in the evenings noise until late from adjoining holiday home site clubhouse, even up to 3.30 am. This was definitely not value for money, and was not a peaceful and restful holiday we were hoping for. The property was advertised as a 4 person apartment, but it was not suitable due to lack of space, storage and facilities. The location was pleasant with a nice decking viewing platform. The advertised 16min walk to Brixham was for the very fit and healthy, and quite challenging for others.

The Cove and Bayview were a great location for a break, the accommodation was lovely with everything necessary for our stay.

Brixham a short walk away with great views across Torbay . Of course the weather was fantastic which added to our enjoyment. Would highly recommend this accommodation and location.

Excellent appartment - well equipped, in a lovely location and quiet.

You even managed to provide glorious weather!!! As good a holiday as we've ever had! Note of caution for anyone with dodgy knees or hips - it is very hilly and access is a challenge, which probably means that we won't be back. However, we would recommend Bayview to anyone with better mobility than us. It is one of the best holiday properties that we have stayed in and worth every penny that it cost us.

The accommodation was excellent, with all the facilities required.

The view was outstanding so having the balcony overlooking the bay was wonderful. The location was ideal as only a 10 minute walk along a beautiful coastal path to the centre on Brixham where there was a good variety of restaurants and bars. Would definitely recommend this property and would love to go back.

The Apartment is looking tired in some areas It is also not as clean as it should be It cost nearly 700 for a week so should be of a very high standard.

We will be choosing alternative accommodation here for next year as although the Apartment when new was lovely it is obviously just an investment for the owner and isn't be cared for as and when people have stayed and left. Shame.

What a brilliant apartment.

Stunning views. Lovely clean rooms. Really appreciate the finishing touches - tea, coffee, sugar and milk provided together with a bottle of wine and chocolates. The little things like washing up liquid, sponge, tea towels and dishwasher tablets really make the difference. Felt like a real home from home. Can not recommend enough. Brilliant break.
