“There were issues with access to the gated property as the information supplied was incorrect & if it wasn’t for a couple who came to our aid, after about 20 minutes, we would not have been able to get through the electronic gates.”

On speaking with Jack, on the helpline, the company had been informed of the changes made to the coded entry but failed to pass this information on to ourselves. ...

On speaking with Jack, on the helpline, the company had been informed of the changes made to the coded entry but failed to pass this information on to ourselves. Although Egret was very well equipped it was lacking in some aspects. It felt very cramped, especially in the bedroom where you had very little room between the bottom of the bed & the bedroom wall, approx 9 inches, if that. The living accommodation was compact but well equipped, downside was nowhere to hang outside clothes i.e wet coats etc which ended up in the bathroom. It had a pleasant outlook but considering the time of year, November, unable to make use of the space.

“Lovely place to stay.”

10 minute walk along the coast to get to Brixham Harbour. spoilt for choice on coastal walks and no car needed if wanting to visit to go on long walks. The little cove with the Cafe is gorgeous, The sea is so clear and the Seals you see along the walks are everywhere, beautiful views. Would certainly recommend the Egret to others, We are a slim couple and very active, but if there were larger people booking the Egret, I feel the bed and settee would be a bit uncomfortable for them as only a small double bed and slim settee. Such a lovely place , would certainly stay again.

“The parking place allotted to this property was very small and really unusable, it is right in a corner of the car park and as the next door parking space was in use and the ones in the row behind were full, you couldn’t turn in, also there are some electricity boxes on the wall which further reduces the size of the parking space.”

We used the visitors parking area as there were spare spaces but in the high season there may not be. The property was small but very nice, not much storage space, but very clean and tidy. All the amenities were excellent, the wi-fi worked well. It was very warm when we were there and a small cooling fan would be good to aid sleeping as at night it was impossible to get fresh air. The complex is quite high up and the walk to the beach is difficult if you are a little disabled, the walk along the cliff path to Brixham can also be hard work, I suffer with knee problems and although we walked most days, sometimes it was difficult. All in all it was a good week and we had an enjoyable time.

Mr Marlow June 2019

“The location was perfect and very safe site being gated too.”

Very pleased over all.
Mr Wells May 2019

“Even though the apartment was small you could not want for anything.”

The only minus point would be that the bedroom was too small. But everything was on hand to make your holiday and enjoyable one. The bonus for us was that the location was excellent with lots of walks in either Direction and the town of Brixham less than 10 minutes stroll away. It was quiet at night. Overall a very enjoyable holiday.

“It was a fab holiday couldn't fault a thing with the apartment.”

There were loads of beautiful views to look at and great food
Mr Woodward September 2018

“The apartment is somewhat “Bijoux” but was very well equipped with all the modern equipment including a dishwasher and WiFi - essential for modern living.”

Some good walks nearby but the walks tend to be somewhat steep due to the location of the apartment overlooking Brixham Bay. We would recommend an apartment for 4 people in this complex, even if there is two of you - just to give that extra room.
Miss Griffiths August 2018

“Had a lovely week.”

The holiday apartment was in a good location, was comfortable and, although small, was perfectly adequate for the 2 of us. We would definitely use the company again.

“A relaxing break”

We booked through Sykes Cottages, a really easy booking. We were sent details of how to get to the property a few days prior to our arrival. Getting to the property was really easy, and the SatNav didn't get us lost. The apartment is located behind a secure gated complex of a few (probably 20) luxury exclusive apartments. Egret is the only one bedroom apartment and lovely for just two. Its very cosy, and has everything you could possibly need we only used the accommodation to sleep in and had meals out everyday. The WiFi wasn't working when we arrived,and telephoning the mobile number we had been provided the gentleman who owns the property was there in less than ten minutes. He then made some phone calls to get it sorted and we were advised it would be fixed promptly. The apartment was nice and clean with good quality bedding and towels. There is a washer/dryer to wash the towels daily and the bedding as required. We found this really good as one could put the linen in prior to going out and it was clean and dry and ready to re-use upon returning. There are some lovely walks close by, we frequently walked into Brixham, to Berry Head, Churston and Paignton. The coastal path joins the property so this is a perfect property for those enjoying a peaceful break in a lovely setting. Highly recommended.

About the location

BRIXHAM

Dartmouth 5 miles; Paignton 6 miles; Torquay 8 miles.

Brixham is a working fishing harbour located on the southern side of Torbay, the area known as The English Riviera, famed for its sunny mild climate all year round. The focal point of the harbour is a life size replica of The Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake’s ship. The prettiest part of Brixham has small cottages in hilly narrow winding lanes leading to the harbour where all the activity is centred. Home to Britain’s largest fishing fleet which regularly lands their catch in the harbour, Brixham fish market sells to major restaurants in the UK. Brixham is the ideal destination for a traditional holiday with many family attractions around Torbay including two Blue Flag beaches, Paignton Zoo and many regattas and maritime events throughout the year. There are a host of safe cycle trails in the area, the South West Coastal Path and some of the best golf courses in the region. A good mix of relaxation or action, to suit all ages, where you are never far from the sea.

Note: Heated outdoor swimming pool open Mid May - Mid September. Sorry, no children over the age of two years permitted
