  The apartment was comfortable and clean, with everything we needed for a week's stay. Really lovely decked terrace with sofa, table & chairs and sunloungers which had a great view of the harbour where you can sit and watch the fishing boats coming and going.

• "We (+dog) had a fantastic break at Harbour View Retreat in Brixham."

  Great location, fantastic views of the harbour from the veranda/patio with the added bonus of a parking space. Yes streets can be a little tight but even driving an SUV, I found it ok if you take it steady. Advice from Sian the owner about reversing out, spot on, thank you. Apartment comfortable with everything you need. Just a couple of suggestions. Black out blind in bedroom would be good, and a few dishwasher tablets or washing up liquid would have been nice. Will definitely use again the next time we stay in Brixham

  Beautiful apartment with amazing views over the harbour, clean & compact, steps to Harbour are literally on your doorstep, Prince William, Blue Anchor & Old Market House good for food & Drinks, Curious Kitchen is good for coffee & lunch albeit is a pricier than most coffee shops, even saw seals from the balcony of the Rockfish, Berry Head hosts the Guardhouse a cafe with stunning view while you enjoy a cake, breakfast or even lunch, St Mary’s Bay beach is worth a visit too, if you fancy a swim but don’t like the sea, take a dip in the Shoalstone Seawater Pool

• "We loved this holiday let, tastefully furnished, comfortable and had everything we needed needed."

  The views from the terrace looking over the harbour and from both the lounge and bedroom were lovely to wake up to each morning. Location was perfect as just a short walk from the harbour/town, though down a steep slope or steps was literally 3 to 4 minutes walk if that. Parking space was a plus, as the holiday let is on a narrow road and spaces are a premium. Overall was the perfect place to stay and would happily stay again.

• "Loverly cottage, friendly hosts, had everything you need for a weeks stay."

  Lovely touch with scones, jam & milk on arrival. Unfortunately cleaning issues let it down a bit for us. Shower wouldn’t empty due to build up of waste in shower trap, had not been cleaned for a long time, so had to clean to use it & did raise with owners . Also shower door needed a better clean as did cooker & settee had stain marks on, looks like dog paw marks, so used covers we had luckily brought. But disappointed had been left like that. Outside small decking area also disappointing, as decking was slimy & green, so when raining, brought muck into the room & just looked unloved. Could have done with a Mat at the patio door to wipe feet, especially with dogs. When the sun was out didn’t really want to sit out there, even tho the views were great. Just a quick clean would have made all the difference to the experience. Also need's pillows replacing as lumpy, didn’t sleep well first night, so had to buy two to use while there. But other than cleaning issues & pillows accommodation was really nice, bright & modern. Getting down to town is very challenging with very very steep steps & hills, & getting too & from accommodation via car was very challenging with tight lanes & hills, but grateful of parking & views are amazing. Wouldn’t say it is really dog friendly tho, as not a spec of grass in sight anywhere. We struggled with our dogs, especially as one a little older. Pulling a pram up & down steep steps & hills was no fun. But Brixham is a lovely place for sure & if these small issues were sorted, would be amazing value for money.

  Very clean with simple tasteful furnishings and decor. Parking space and terrace with a view an amazing plus too! Could be slightly improved by a few very small things such as clearing up rubbish outside (caused by wind & pesky gulls we assume), storing of mops etc out of view, a 2nd hand towel in the bathroom and topping up of cutlery & crockery, including some fizz glasses

  Narrow roads which thankfully lead to a designated parking space. Fabulous views of the harbour easy to walk to in a very short time. Thankyou for the scones, jam and clotted cream, it was a lovely surprise. The only reason I rated some areas low was because we thought a deep clean of the property was due. The owners were informed and responded positively.

  Great location especially for evening walks, super comfortable bed and was clean and warm with all the facilities we needed. The parking space that comes with the property was very useful. There is lots to do in the area especially visiting Greenway, Torquay, Babbacombe Miniature Village, Paignton Zoo and a short train ride to Exeter if you like shopping.

  The apartment is very comfortable enough room for 2 people and 2 dogs. Walking distance of the harbour, shops and pubs....we didn't need to use our car once we had arrived. Be aware the roads are very narrow leading to the apartment, obviously not a reflection on the owners of the property but had a couple of hairy moments arriving and leaving the apartment! Hence when we arrived we walked everywhere! The milk and cream scones were a nice welcome gift. Would definitely return!

  The weather wasn't kind. The apartment was great. Off road parking was a big help as the roads surrounding are really narrow and tricky to navigate. The other thing is seagulls tend to get at the rubbish and scatter it around, but the owner promptly cleared it up for us.This location would probably not suit someone with a physical disability as there are a lot of steep steps up and down to the harbour. Just a small note would have loved a washing machine instead of a dishwasher. We would definitely return.

• "Internally first rate, externally needs a lot of work - not very welcoming, safety issues with the fencing around the parking area, generally messy ."

  Who needs to be looking at weeds and mess out of the windows and the main door.

  Thank you for your feedback, I'm very sorry to hear you were unhappy with the exterior. I appreciate your remarks about the fencing not being very aesthetically pleasing at the moment, but I assure you it has been assessed fully and is safe. We have been looking in to developing this area and planning permission has now been granted to change the car port area - so plans are now in motion to have an area sensitive renovation when the schedule allows it. Regular upkeep is of course attended to and the weeding was done at the end of your stay, but due to a hosepipe ban there are restrictions on what we can do to at the moment. We appreciate the time you took to leave your feedback and hope this didn't impact your stay too much. Property Owner

  lovely cottage , we were welcomed by a lovely cream tea and the owner who was very pleasant and kindly told us if we needed anything to contact them as they only lived next door. The cottage was lovely and cosy , very clean and had everything we needed, the patio was fantastic with furniture and again looking over Brixham Harbour, sitting there with a glass of wine was lovely. There are steps going down into the Harbour , which takes about 3 to 5 minutes, or you can walk the longer route which takes about 20 minutes. The cottage was well placed, we left our car there all week as we used the ferry to Torquay and the local bus service to Paignton, also there are lots of walks with our little dog Ruby. You could never be disappointed staying at Harbour view , 100% lovely. We are planning to stay there again in the near future. Neville.

  The property was difficult to find as it has no effective sign, as it has been damaged. Half of it is missing and what,s left is hanging up side down, definitely needs attention. I appreciate that the property was refurbished last year, but it remains very untidy and scruffy externally with a lot of clearing up to do to make it presentable. This of course had no bearing of our enjoying the break, as internally the property was finished to a high standard with good quality fittings throughout. In our view the kitchen could do with an increase in numbers of cutlery, glasses and plates as there are only four of each. tight for a couple yet alone inviting guests in. With the cutlery there is nothing between a teaspoon and a tablespoon, neither ideal for pudding or cereal, so would suggest some desert spoons. The parking space was a pleasant surprise, as it is completely of road and much roomier than anticipated. You can publish this feedback if you feel it appropriate.

  A three star property booked through a different agency. Later the agency acknowledged that three stars was their lowest grading (not helpful). Access was difficult as the owner(?) gave us the incorrect code for the keysafe and needed to be contacted again. The finish to the kitchen was extremely rough and ready, there was absolutely no hanging or wardrobe space, odd bits of carpet had been thrown into the only cupboard that could have accommodated belongings and it appeared that the property had been insufficiently cleaned. We stayed for one night only and returned home the following day. Helpful Holidays which we have used previously would not have listed such a property.
