  On arrival to the cottage we found it very easy to find and simple to gain entry via the key safe and information supplied.

  The cottage was very clean and the view from the dining room on the ground floor was striking. The kitchen was compact but there was everything you could possibly want in terms of utensils, pots, pans, dish washer, washing machine and lots of crockery including various glasses. The stairs to the 1st floor are steep and narrow so be warned! The bathroom is excellent with a bath and a shower and is quite big for a cottage. The living room with TV and two sofas was brilliant, I said that the view from the dining room was striking but, from the living room and balcony it is awesome. The two bedrooms were spacious with excellent views and the beds extremely comfortable. I will say, you MUST read the description regarding the steep steps from the harbour. the first flight of 29 steps from street level is like a staircase followed by about 8 gently rising steps followed by about 8 more steep steps. Then there are more steps to the door and more again inside. We were a party of 60 somethings and managed fine but, please don't go here and complain about access as it is in the description. All in all the cottage is first class and the views are outstanding. Having said all of this if you have a car, the parking bay is only a few yards from the gate and apart from shopping it is quite feasible to spend an entire week sitting on the balcony (weather permitting of course). Would I recommend the property? You bet!

  Overall the apartment was excellent.

  Nicely furnished, clean and excellent location..Will return and also recommend. A few points that impacted our week there was that the smart TV on the wall in the lounge stopped working after a few days, we contacted Pauline the cleaner who was the property contact who was amazing in trying her best to help by lending us a temporary basic TV because she was unable to gain a direct reply from the owner. Unfortunately the weather was not dry so missing out on being able to have a cosy relaxing time watching films on Netflix/Prime was not an option. We also found both sofas very unsupportive and low which made them uncomfortable for long term sitting. Possibly just a personal preference but it did impact our enjoyment of the property a little bit. If the weather had been kinder then the impact of these two things would obviously have been less. None of this should detract from the overall quality and location of Bayview/Sandpiper 4 and Pauline was lovely and as helpful as she could be. Easier contact with the owner to get any issues sorted/authorised quickly would be welcomed if possible in future, but highly rated this accommodation as this is the second time we have stayed there.

  Location of the property is excellent, just behind the main street.

  The road to the property is VERY narrow so if you have a big car like us be careful. The property is on 3 levels with the kitchen on the ground floor with the dining room. Bedrooms on the top floor have fantastic views across the harbour and are comfortable. The main issue we would say would be some parts of the cottage need updating or a very deep clean. The sofas are dirty, the heated towel rail in the bathroom is badly rusted at the bottom and the floor needs re-grouting as there are a lot of loose tiles. Window frames around the property were full of cobwebs and grime. Dining room on the ground floor needs laminate flooring not carpet, and needs brightening up as it’s a small area with very dark furniture in it. Kitchen is small but more than adequate with new cupboards and appliances which is a plus. The furniture on the balcony is old and rusted so we didn’t use it which is a shame as it would be a superb place to sit on an evening and relax watching the boats come and go. Overall, this property could be so much better given some attention and thought. Location 10/10, cleanliness 3/10.

  The apartment was perfect very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

  The only downside is the walk into town takes longer than suggested in reviews and is all uphill on the way back just impossible if you have mobility issues like me. However a taxi will drop you by the harbour for £4. One other thing to note, your car won’t be beside the flat the car park is a wee bit further back so you will need to carry your belongings from the car park to the flat. As it says in the description it’s a first floor flat, the stairs are manageable but when you add on the walk from the car park with cases etc it’s quite tough! Well worth it though for the view and the lovely accommodation. We had only one niggle. We couldn’t get into Netflix and contacted the number given to us by Sykes which turned out to be the cleaners number. She had to contact the owner and that took 2 days before she was able to get back to us - and then it was the wrong password but we gave up because we were leaving the next day but it raises the question of how quickly the owner responds if you have a problem

  It was clean but I checked the pillows in the main bedroom and two black hairs on the pillow cases Garden patio area abit tired empty rush sweeping brush just there, screwed up wind breaker in corner and some tiles from bathroom outside The radiators in the kitchen needs a good clean and tops of radiators in the main bedroom did also Sofa really uncomfortable and loads of dog hair down the cracks (we know it’s a dog friendly place but still) but the chairs weren’t and the games were a nice touch Water (because it was brixham ) was delivered daily which was nice Cigetette and cigar ends were all over the drive and pathways up the the house which wasn’t nice Little bags left out were a nice touch along with the dog treats The seating area at the top of the garden was a nice feature.Netflix was also nice feature
