Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Accommodation on the ground floor very dark and dismal; poor welcome pack, one pint of milk and out of date tea bags. The outside space which we believe was desribed as a patio. It is not. It is a small, mucky yard without a roof. Who would ever sit out there? Fridge left on "holiday" mode, which we did not see for a while, resulting in contents going off. A note telling us would have been nice. Despite contacting Sykes and telephoning an estate agent and tourist info., the parking is a nightmare. We did eventually find a space, but just not good enough. Explaining about the parking in the Welcome Book if not ridiculous, would be funny. We had to find a space, before we could read it. Very disappointed, will not be using Sykes again.
Thank you for the feedback, did you not look at photos before booking the cottage, its a fishermans cottage around 200 years old, not sure what you expected, majority of Brixham like it! Parking is the same around Brixham but large carpark around and one at bottom of road, perhaps do research in future for you book anything, not sure what you want in a welcome pack, I will get my cleaner to have a look at teabags but always new ones put out, maybe it was someone else who had left them in cupboard, we will rectify this! Fridge again i will ask cleaner to check this, thank you! I do hope you enjoy you holidays in the future wherever that maybe!

"Quite spacious cottage ,its location is on a higher part of brixham great if you have no mobility issues ."
There is no parking so if you looking for free parking a little walk to find a space on roads without charge can be challenging but you will find one with a walk but you can park and un load /re load outside near cottage .
Only issue and it’s minor was the TV reception in not reliable you can lose reception at any time for hours quite frustrating if TV is important to you .
Generally this cottage is good value for money ,don’t expect big views or ultra luxury accommodation but it’s clean ,tidy ,spacious and affordable giving you good quality accommodation..
Thank you for the feedback, sorry to hear about TV reception, we have never known this before or had any comments regarding this, the only thing i can think of is maybe the seagulls on the aerial might have knocked it out??

"Really pleased with stay."
Property clean, well equipped, great location and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. 10/10
Only one minor pointer is use of too many air fresheners throughout, however this is only preference as I'm quite sensitive to them.

"Missing clearing in front of the house and the outside place near the kitchen."
We reportet a missing remote control in the livingroom to Sykes but notering happend.
Parking was hopeless.
Thank you for the feedback, I have contacted Sykes Cottages who have confirmed that no contact was made, if contact was made, we would have rectified this for you. I have spoken to my cleaner, who said the remotes where there so not too sure what this was for? Parking in the summer months can be difficult all around Brixham due to the popularity of the seaside town, there is a massive carpark located not far from the cottage which most customers use and never have a problem.

Pot luck with any other parking options. Outdoor seating area tiny, totally unsuitable for a property that sleeps 6 people, this area was also very dirty. Other than that the property was lovely and we enjoyed our stay in Brixham.

"Downstairs floors appeared not to have been hoovered, no milk left in fridge, one of the Bath towels had Bleach mark stains on it, large cobweb in between bedroom curtains, main bath appeared to have fluff/dust in it along with a hair, outside courtyard wasn’t inviting and also the bedding and duvet had a musty smell to it along with the bath towels, had to put them in on a hot wash to get rid of the smell."
Overall not good at all.
We are sorry to hear that the cottage didnt meet your expectations, However, You never contacted Sykes cottages to express your concerns. I spoke to you on the day of arrival as you were not happy that the hallway had a little bit of moss on the floor which had been blown in when the door have opened, which my cleaner came up within 10 minutes so hoover it again. unfortunately this is something we cant control as the wind tends to blow if both doors are open at anytime, or can be brought in from shoes. I for one know that the cottage floors were cleaned to a very high standard as the week before the cottage had a deep clean with all floors and carpets professionally cleaned as well as all maintenance work done. deep cleans are done every 6 months to maintain the high quality standards as well as it been cleaned every time the cottage is used. I am sorry that the brand new towels weren't up to your standard,maybe i will consider where I purchase them from in future. The cobweb in the room is from a little money spider that which I do believe that you addressed with my cleaner on the day of arrival as you wanted her to remove it. I would also like to thank you for rearranging the furniture in the cottage and all the kitchenware, however, we have decided we would like to keep it as it has been over the years as this works better for everyone else that has stayed.

"We had a lovely stay in pebble bay, lovely home with everything you need, beds really comfotarable bed linen lovely and fresh."
For those who arent familiar with area its important to note parking is not simple when you initially arrive, no street parking outside property, so difficult if you have luggage and small children, bit stressful, but once you are familiar with area it is easier.
Our kids loved sleeping in bunk beds, their bedroom had books and plenty of games for them to play. The description of property says patio/garden, would not describe as either only handy for drying clothes, Only small criticism we have with property, but no need for garden as 2 minute walk up the road takes you to fantastic kids park, opposite school. Enjoyable break .

Extended family 5 of us from age 9 to 69. Beautiful location , view of harbour from bedrooms Fantastic decor. Exceptionally well furnished with top notch fittings. Quirky and brilliant use made of every area to maximise space especially top bedroom with cute ensuite. Good facilities, including Wi-fi and TV, washer and dishwasher. Luxurious main bathroom with roll top bath and free standing shower also. Spotless clean and well looked after. Quite a few narrow stairs but we soon got use to them. Lovely green close by . Poppy loved to win grandad at football there, and visit The Golden Hind pirate ship on the harbour. Good exercise. Brixham is a lovely harbour town, plenty of restaurants and lovely walks. Beautiful coastline, easy walk to town, though quite hilly, soon got used to it, several ways to it , broadsteps best way. Berry Head is a must to visit, lovely little cafe, great views. Good base for Paignton , Goodrington Sands, Totnes, Dartmouth, Torquay, Broadsands Take the bus if you don't want to drive. Plenty of boat trips also. Very friendly locals and well looked after clean streets with lovely flowers everywhere. To top it all , after a cold start the weather turned out to be fantastic for April .Will definitely be back .

Suggestion: please could you give each person an extra hand towel each.
Also need a lock on the bathroom door! bit of a laugh as we had to shout out "gardyloo" or some such silliness!!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
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.
