  Egert was compact but perfect for one person, its well equipped and easy to get your bags loaded and unloaded, especially if you arrived/leaving on a rainy day.

  I'd read reviews about the smell from drains in the property, but never experienced this even when you could smell the drains when in the car park. Also, some saying its noisy as its next to the car park, which isn't entirely true. There are some car park spaces next to Egert and yes I heard cars but nothing to write home about, I heard more noise on the Saturday night from the Caravan site clubhouse behind! But even that wasn't an issue, as it went quiet after about 11.30pm. Having the pool was lovely, I was lucky to have it all to myself every evening as I think most people used it earlier in the day. The view from the pool out to sea was stunning! The gentleman who was looking after the pool and site maintenence was very friendly and The Cove was very well kept. Beautiful views and so peaceful. Egert does sadly lack that uninterrupted view due to its position, you do get a little view, but it just meant I had to go walking around The Cove and into Brixham to enjoy a better view, which wasn't a bad thing for me. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars to comfort is that I found the settee a little uncomfortable. The cushions were no help either to squish in behind me, as they appeared to be feather and I'm sure my itchy eyes were a reaction to them. I also think the bathroom could benefit from a little storage cupboard next to or under the sink, but you can easily manage without. Cleanliness inside the property and on site was 5 star, the reason for only 4 stars was the large amount of cobwebs on the outside furniture and decking. Too many to have appeared in the time from the previous guests leaving to me arriving on the day. First impression from the outside wasn't what you get inside.

  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!

  The bungalow had everything necessary for the vacation stay in a small area.

  Washing machine and dishwasher were easy to use. Unfortunately there was no radio. The toilet paper holder was still loose despite the evaluation notes in advance. The freezer compartment of the fridge was not defrosted so there was hardly any space for frozen goods. Unfortunately there was no open sea view when sitting on the small terrace. The other bungalows were in front of it. The parasol and chairs seen in the photos fell victim to a storm. There are 2 wicker chairs and a shelf available for this purpose. The bungalow is in close proximity to parking lots. There was a bit of noise associated with the arrival and departure of cars in the morning hours. There wasn't much storage space for luggage. We were able to put our 2 suitcases in a small closet-like recessed wall in the bedroom. On the day of departure you have to leave the bungalow by 9 a.m. 10:00 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. would have been nicer. The couch is not in the middle of the room as you can see in the pictures, but on the left on the wall and next to it is the dining table. This also seems better for the division in the room. The holiday was otherwise very nice in this tranquil place, especially since you had the opportunity to walk directly to Brixham within about 20 minutes.

  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 Nook was a beautifully presented cottage with lots of traditional features and modern touches.

  The welcome pack was much appreciated after a long drive, thankyou. It was close to the town centre and a great base for a week's holiday. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate at home several evenings. A couple of points worth noting: The traffic lights are two cars length from the front door and awaiting cars can be heard clearly as the front door opens directly into the pavement. The road can be noisy. The instructions state no parties and be considerate neighbours but the neighbour to our left was not so considerate and partied onto 4:00am on the first Monday, so much so we had to change rooms. The detail of the cottage includes woodburning stove and starter pack. This is not accurate. It is a gas fire. The cottage is centrally heated so we didn't need to use it, but it is misleading. That being said we had a great week and enjoyed our stay in Brixham.
