“Accommodation was great for us, however, guests need to be aware that there are steep hills to climb on the way back to the cottage if you walk into town or seafront.”

- Gary, December 2025
Neil November 2025

“We had a great time!”

Wonderfully appointed accommodation with everything you would ever need. Super clean! Very comfortable! Can highly recommend. Hopefully we’ll be back in the future.

Peter October 2025

“Splendid location: Fast WiFi, Big TV-set, comfortable beds, hot shower, for summer evenings a private yard to sit and eat outside.”

A very good location to stay + relax and/or to explore Torbay an the Coast in day trips till Dartmouth an Slapton Sands. Nice walk to Torquay seaside via the Royal Garden Terraces.

Bernadette September 2025

“The cottage was well equipped, clean and comfortable.”

There were only 2 of us, so may be a bit of a tight squeeze for 4 people staying there. The bed was comfortable and the shower was a good size too. The only negative point would be the fact that the cottage was quite elevated, so could be a difficult walk into Torquay and back for people with limited mobility, Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay in Cottage 1 Newcourt.

Lorna September 2025

“Cottage was comfortable 2 problems stairs very steep and shower hard to turn on.”

- Lorna, September 2025
Michael September 2025

“The property was very pleasant but being in our 60 s we found the stairs difficult.”

Especially as there was no downstairs bathroom. Perhaps you could make it listing a little more specific for accessibility.

Claire May 2025

“The property was a lovely decor, clean, well kept, with an artistic flare.”

Themed seaside paintings and ornaments. Nicely situated for the beach, harbour, restaurants and local days out. We went to the Babbacombe theatre twice, the Miniature village watched the air display at Paignton, went to the Cavern Caves, and Cockington Village and crafts centre. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you

- Claire, May 2025
Susan January 2025

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

We were there 5 weeks in total whilst we waited to move into our new home. The property was well equipped with everything we required. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of bedding. Parking was very convenient- right outside the door. The location was ideal - walking distance to town and the sea front. The host was very responsive and friendly.

- Susan, January 2025
Graham September 2024

“No problems at all with this property.”

Nicola August 2024

“Great stay, lovely location!”

So close to the beach and food / cafes / ferry to Brixton. Only point is would have been nice to have at least one toilet roll left :).

- Nicola, August 2024
John August 2024

“It's a beautiful apartment spotlessly clean and quiet its a nice short walk (downhill) to the sea front which again was beautiful and clean with plenty of choice of excellent restaurants.”

The Harbour is lovely we had a lovely trip to Brixham on the ferry and had a lovely boat trip around the local coast, no whales or dolphins unfortunately but a few seals and loads of local bird life Not an idea walk back uphill I enjoyed it personally but my Wife struggled but for £5 its a very quick and short taxi drive there was 4 of us so its very cheap to have a local taxi The apartment and Torquay are an idea base to explore the local areas Brixham, Paignton, Teignmouth, Dartmouth & Dawlish all pretty close and well worth a visit its a lovely coastline to explore. If you are an Agatha Christie fan I would recommend a visit to "Green Way" her holiday home its beautiful and we had a great visit to Dartmouth Castle - lots of English Heritage & National Trust places to visit locally too. The property is a credit to both Sarah & Paul the owners and again we had a lovey place recommended by Sykes Holiday Cottages our second UK holiday using Sykes ...... Many Thanks John & Dee

- John, August 2024
Lee July 2024

“The property is excellent.”

All areas are clean and well-equipped and the parking space right in front of the property is very useful. The street is pretty quiet, the only noise at night coming from seagulls! The location is great, it is a ten minute walk one way to the beach/crazy golf/tennis courts and a ten minute walk the other way to the harbour and shopping area. We would definitely consider booking this property again.

- Lee, July 2024
Carole July 2024

“Really lovely cottage spacious clean and everything you needed was there beds very comfy would love to stay again”

- Carole, July 2024
Naushad April 2024

“We were very impressed with the cottage and would visit again in the future.”

The accommodation was very clean and had all the things we needed. 6 stars

- Naushad, April 2024
Amy April 2024

“Quiet comfortable place to stay everything you need, walking distance for the town.”

Perfect for small family to stay or even just yourself. Definitely return there again

- Amy, April 2024
Marcus December 2023

“Had a lovely stay in a lovely property.”

Very central and peaceful location. Everything I needed was available. Bed was comfortable. Everything was very good and me and my family would definitely recommend.

- Marcus, December 2023
David September 2023

“This lovely cottage is well worth a visit.”

Just a couple of blocks back from the front, everything is within easy reach at a very affordable price. The cottage feels quite spacious, is comfortable and well presented. Everything works as it is supposed to, including the very good shower [I hate those ones that just trickle!] The allocated car parking space is right outside the door and the electric gates easy to operate. We visit this area regularly and I would say this is easily the best value for money rental we have had.

- David, September 2023
Pauline September 2023

“Whilst this property is well equipped and comfortable, I wish I had read previous reviews prior to booking.”

This property may be a short walk from town and beach, but it is totally unsuitable for elderly people or anyone who has trouble breathing as it is extremely hilly and you will need to use car to get to either, paying quite high parking each day. On top of that we had issues with dirty shower mat, broken shower door, stained towels and dirty mugs when we entered the property. Because we didn't want to disrupt our holiday by waiting for these issues to be sorted, Sykes were very unhelpful when we pointed out these issues, continually stating that we should have pointed them out while there. We felt we were being fobbed off despite sending them photos of the problems we encountered. Needless to say we won't be using them again if they are not prepared to take complaints seriously. Checking back on previous feedback, there have been similar problems going back to 2019. Sykes are obviously not keeping check on properties they rent out. With the high cost of holiday accommodation now, people at least expect basic cleaning and true account of position of properties, both lacking here.

- Pauline, September 2023

I'm sorry that you had issues regarding maintenance and housekeeping during your stay, had we been notified of these at the time these would have been dealt with promptly. Unfortunately your feedback is the the first that we have heard of any issue and they have now been dealt with. Property Owner

Neil June 2023

“Had a great time thanks!”

Only issue for me and not your fault but a near neighbour was smoking cannabis and I found the smell very annoying!

- Neil, June 2023
Neil April 2023

“My Daughter and I had a really enjoyable stay at your cottage!”

Very well appointed and super clean! We didn’t use them but the dvd’s and games are a nice friendly touch! Only issue, very small one was the bathroom sink plug was faulty, seemed to be missing its mechanism. We will look forward to booking with you again. Kind regards Neil and Daisy

We just booked a cheep get away for a week and didnt expect too much,we were pleasantly supprised on arrival and we would stay again and would recommend too :)

- Andrew, February 2023
Amy January 2023

“The property was absolutely amazing perfect place to stay, everything was set up so was easy to manage.”

Easy instructions on appliances as well. The bed was so comfortable which I always have an issue finding a place with a comfy bed due to my back problems but this was like sleeping in my own bed. Hope to book there again

- Amy, January 2023
Lorna July 2022

“A very well equipped and comfortable holiday home.”

The owners have thought of everything. It has a very stylish, modern feel to it. The kids thought it was very cosy and loved it too! Nice to have some outdoor space also. It was also very clean, tidy and well maintained. It was nice to have secure gated parking and we soon found our way into Torquay by foot. Please be prepared for hill walk up and down. We are so glad we chose this property for our first trip to Torquay. We would have no qualms at booking it again!

- Lorna, July 2022

“The beds were very uncomfortable I had to sleep in the single bed which wasn’t much better.”

- June, July 2022
Louise July 2022

“Great place to stay ,everything provided.”

Double bed mattress was too soft and the sofas uncomfortable,but didn't ruin my stay .. Private outside court yard lovely to sit out have breakfast/dinner . With this extremely hot weather there was 2 tower fans provided.. One parking space is provided right outside your door . The cottage is situated on a hill ok goin down to the beach/shops , quite steep walking back ok if u are fine to walk but if you struggle take your car or get a taxi . Overall a lovely holiday , definitely book this cottage again if visiting Torquay and definitely recommend it...

- Louise, July 2022
Heather May 2022

“A lovely stay, clean and comfortable, apart from the bed, which was an extremely soft mattress or it's been over used.”

Looking forward to our stay again in September. Thank you

The cottage is amazing everything you need WiFi is great all bedding and towels provided everything to hand very clean and we presented improvements every time we stay parking bay for your apartment safe and secure very good communication with owner can’t do enough for you great bloke if you have mobility problems use your car or taxis the hills and steps are a killer

- Lisa, April 2022
Steven April 2022

“We had a fantastic week in the property the owner had thought of everything couldn’t fault it at all.”

Would highly recommend it to anyone, Yes you do have to walk down either a steep bank or a load of steps to get into town but that’s a small price to pay for off street safe parking and a very peaceful location.

- Steven, April 2022
Michael March 2022

“This is a lovely property with good access to town centre, as many of you know Torquay is very hilly but this cottage was quite close to the centre.”

The cottage itself was very well equipped it had great wifi. Kitchen was well appointed and everything worked as it should, shower and bathroom were excellent, would happily stay here again should the opportunity arise. The cottage was part of a larger house converted into various accommodations. Parking was straightforward and the instructions for arrival were simple and worked. We had one minor issue but a quick phone call to Paul and it was sorted in seconds.

- Michael, March 2022
Dean February 2022

“This accommodation was first class.”

Very well equipped, good wifi, good heating and very comfortable. would highly recommend it.

Ceris September 2021

“Good location añd very comfortable accomodation”

- Ceris, September 2021
Cordelia July 2021

“Great facilities, the owners had thought of everything they even had a fan.”

It was also great to have an outdoor space/court yard. The only small thing to note if I was to be picky would be to consider getting new sofas as current ones a little un comfortable. However when you are out and about on holiday guess you may not be in much. Other than that great comfortable place to stay that is clean tidy and well decorated.

- Cordelia, July 2021
Stewart June 2021

“Had a great restful week.”

Cottage was as expected and a stones throw for us to all that we wanted to do and see. Would recommend.

- Stewart, June 2021
Brenda May 2021

“We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and well equipped it was.”

Good location in a quiet area. To have off road parking was a bonus. Highly recommend it.

- Brenda, May 2021
Stephen September 2020

“We were pleasantly supprised with the cottage.”

It was clean, fresh and well equipped. There was secure off road parking. It was very quiet and was within easy walking distance to the town centre and the seafront, although it was a uphill walk back but easily manageable, we found some steps which was a short cut. All in all a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it. Also quite good value

- Stephen, September 2020
Sheila September 2020

“The apartment had everything we needed and was well equipped for our needs.”

The only problem was there was no gate zapper which meant i had to keep ringing up to operate the gate but apart from that everything was great. about a 5 minute walk down to the front. really comfortable apartment and very clean.

- Sheila, September 2020
Nicola January 2020

“Very nice property, great location in a quiet residential area.”

It was ideal to have private parking right outside the front door and is within walking distance of the Seafront, Harbour and Shops. We found the property nice and clean, and well equipped for a comfortable stay, the beds were comfy too. We will return!

- Nicola, January 2020
Ross October 2019

“Cottage was clean and very well equipped.”

Netflix and wi-fi to keep kids entertained in the evenings. 10 minutes walk to seafront and harbour where there was a good choice of places to eat.

- Ross, October 2019
Christina September 2019

“Cottage generally needed a good clean.”

There was bits of food on the settee where the cushions meet. The top of the stove was greasy and the shower had lots of black mould round the fitting on the shower door. The waste bins were dirty in the bathroom and the bedrooms. Near the front door there was a pile of leaves. The gutter leaked very badly on the night we arrived. We reported this to the owner who got someone out to look at it. He just cleared out the gutter leaving the mess on and around the front door step and up the front door. I cleaned and swept up the leaves myself. There could be a better welcome light at the cottage, I found this light when I cleared up the leaves, pit the batteries back in and fixed it back on the wall. I don't know if the owners have a third party cleaning person but they do need to check the premises regularly for cleanliness.

- Christina, September 2019

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you experienced these issues during your stay. I hope they did not impact your holiday too much. We would like to inform you that all the issues you have mentioned have been rectified. Again we are sorry you experienced these and hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
