The standard of cleanliness was good but the quilt and pillows had a smell of damp mustiness and the quilt in general needed replacing. The water was always piping hot and the shower was also good. In the description of Fishcombe Cove it states a ten minute walk to Brixham. This is definitely misleading. The walk wether along the coast road or along the streets is definitely at least double that if not treble if your older and have any walking issues. The coast path includes steep hills and steps which are unavoidable once the walk has started. There is a bus to Brixham from Battery Gardens which is only up to the corner and just along the road which is a VERY steep hill and again difficult for anyone with walking issues. Car parking in the whole area is expensive.

“This is a lovely, but very small cottage, but very well equipped It’s in a good location with easy access to Fishcombe Cove and Churston Cove, both good places to swim although swim shoes helpful as walking over the the pebbles is very uncomfortable.”

Also the site is located next to the coastal path. It’s about half a mile to walk into the town where there are many good fish restaurants. A couple of issues- the mattress is uncomfortable and ready for replacing, the bedding is a little threadbare, the towel rail in the bathroom isn’t working, and it really would benefit from a clothes airer even though there is a washer/dryer. The coffee pot is cracked, I reported this by email. I would definitely try to book on this site again as it’s very pleasant, but possibly in a bigger cottage, although if Egret was the only one available I’d book it.

“You need to stnad on a chair to see the sea.”

Need an airer and also could see no way to turn heating on - so we were quite cold one day. Could not get bathroom radiator to work so always had damp towels. Apart from those niggles, the apartment was lovely, and the location was fantastic - good walking and quite close (15minute walk) to Brixham Town

Thank you for your comments, we really appreciate you taking the time to send us your feedback. As the property has a washer/dryer we have decided not to provide airers. We are sorry you could not work the heating system, all instructions are in a folder in the property, our telephone number is also in the property in case you had any issues during your stay. We are glad you enjoyed the apartment and the location. We do hope you will visit again in the future. Owner relations

“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.

The property

Set above the magnificent sweeping bay at Fishcombe Cove, the luxury waterfront collection of properties at The Cove, blend seamlessly into their sheltered hillside setting.

A stay here at this highly desirable resort will provide the perfect balance of peace and tranquility and an opportunity to enjoy one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline on Devon's South coast.

With private access leading to the pebbly cove below and a short walk from the turquoise blue waters at idyllic Churston Cove, this has to be the perfect choice for lazy days spent beside the sea.

Adjacent to the National Trust woodland, Egret is the only 1 bedroom property at this desirable resort, set back and detached from the second tier of apartments with its own private decking that catches the morning and afternoon sunshine and enjoys glimpses of the sea.

A stylish, coastal inspired interior, offers modern open plan living with a dining area, fully equipped kitchen and settee to relax after your days adventures.

Bright and airy with daylight streaming in through patio doors, the decking is furnished with patio table, chairs and a parasol and makes an additional alfresco dining spot in summer months.

Start your day with a quick dip in the heated pool, before morning coffee and breakfast alfresco whilst you plan your day ahead. The popularity of this luxury resort is easy to appreciate, with benefits including an open air heated swimming pool, private gated grounds, secure parking, magnificent sea views and the South West Coastal path on the doorstep.

Fishcombe Cove is a beauty spot, sheltered between the cliffs and ideal for rock pooling, kayaking, swimming and fishing.

There is also a cafe overlooking the beach for refreshments and snacks.

A 10 minute stroll along the coastal footpath will bring you to the harbour and town of Brixham with its selection of cafes, restaurants and shops.

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
