  An excellent property for our group of 8, for several reasons: 1.

  Most had their own bedroom and en-suite - not easy to find such provision. 2. What a relief to have 2 guaranteed parking spaces (for fairly large cars) on the front, and we were always able to park 2 other cars on the road opposite or in the lane round the corner. 3. Well placed for using public transport: regular no 12 bus to the harbour or to Paignton/Torquay or towards Dartmouth; we took the bus to Paignton, the steam train return to Kingswear, the short ferry to Dartmouth. A 20 minute walk to the harbour, but some of us took the bus or got a taxi back up the hill (£5 with tip). 4. Plenty of pubs and restaurants. We liked the Golden Lion, 5 minutes walk down the hill towards town - reasonably priced pub food and a pleasant atmosphere. Recommend the Albero (the fish menu is good); the Prince William has a good outlook over the harbour; the Casa Nostra Italian was pleasant. We ran out of nights to try the Rockfish with its interesting looking fish menu. 5. Spoilt for things to do: walks both ways along the coast, or round the coast from Dartmouth; drive or walk to Berry Head - the wild flowers were lovely; drive or bus to Kingswear/Dartmouth and do the river cruise to Agatha Christie's house (National Trust) and gardens; Dartmouth itself is interesting and photogenic, and the museum with focus on Thomas Newcomen and his 1712 'the world's first steam engine' is worth a visit (plus the extra free bit at the tourist office). And of course the harbour area of Brixham itself is very scenic. So yes, we can recommend the property and the area!

  We all enjoyed our stay at 1 Alston Farm cottage.

  Very clean and cosy cottage. Ideal location for visiting and exploring surrounding areas. The only issue we had with Sykes was the key code they had originally sent us.After receiving this code,Sykes then sent us a second code saying that this code was the correct one and to ignore the first one. When we arrived at the cottage it was pouring with rain and only to find the key code we were told to use was did not work. I managed to look through my emails from Sykes which luckily I had kept and used the first code they sent me,that turned out to be the right one in the first place. By this time we were all soaking wet and not amused. I spoke to Sykes during our stay and told them what had happened,they did not apologise for their mistake but said they would pass on what I had told them to the owner. I did not feel it was the owners fault but that of Sykes. The owner contacted me the same day to apologise for the mess up but I told her I didn't think it was her fault but that of Sykes. The owner and myself had a very nice conversation over their cottage and said we had enjoyed our stay and Antonia said she was pleased to hear that.I thanked her for contacting me and she thanked me for being understanding. I hope that Sykes resolve the key code problem.

  We were extremely disappointed with our stay and had to raise issues from day one.

  Kettle was dangerous as it just kept boiling, no washing bowl and no plug in sink. They were the small issues. Radiators broken and one on permanently which was unpleasant with it being warm outside! Not cleaned properly, crisps and dust found in drawers, balloons and dirt under sofa. Don’t get me started on the mould! In the kitchen under the sink, in the lean to, in the boiler cupboard and in the wardrobes. We couldn’t even hang our clothes (had to live hour of a suitcase). There is clearly a problem that needs addressing to stop the mould long term. Owners say they have cleaned it but unless treated properly this will come back! Facilities - there might be enough sleeping facilities for 11 but downstairs does not accommodate this. The kitchen is not big enough, table cannot seat 11 even if using the breakfast bar. No cupboards to put food in and only one small fridge (not enough space for 11). The pictures are deceiving and make this property look better than it is. For the amount we paid we would not come back and would not recommend this for families or anyone with health problems.

  This chalet was way over priced and nof a very low standard.

  The kitchen was in need of all new cupboards and drawers and the sofa needs replacing. The coffee table was covered in scratches and wobbled. You can't put any milk in the fridge over a 2 pint carton in the door unless you remove the shelves and tray. The double bed is too small for an average height adult. I'm only 5ft8 and my legs hung over the bottom of the bed. There is no storage or shelves in the bathroom or towel rail, it is very poor. The windows were filthy and and the drawers in the bedroom were full of hairs and bits of things I can't describe. The inside of the kettle was peeling away and contained lots of broken plastic that I thankfully didn't swallow. These chalets should not cost more than at least £400. I have photos and video evidence which I will posting to Trip Advisor. The poor quality of the chalet was the low point of our holiday. Also the attitude of the staff is you're staying in basic accomodation so what do you expect. £656 is not basic or cheap payment for accomdation. Very poor.

  Pirate’s View has fantastic views over Brixham town and the harbour. It’s elevated, so is accessible by many steep steps or a steep slope; I therefore wouldn’t recommend to the less mobile - we loved the exercise though. Parking is an issue, as it’s limited and the streets are very narrow, but besides that everything else was excellent. The house is modern and styled nicely with all mod cons and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Brixham is a friendly fishing town with nice dog welcoming restaurants and pubs. The coastal walks are beautiful, very hilly if you want to venture down to the coves, but well worth it. Salcombe and Dartmouth are worth visiting. Use the ferry to cross the estuary as the journey round is long and slow. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pirate’s View and would recommend it to most people wanting to visit Brixham.
