  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.

  Fantastic location, couldn't ask for a better spot.

  Kitchen/lounge/diner was a really nice set up. Really comfy sofa. Plenty of pots and pans, crocks, glasses. Only 1tea towel though. WiFi very hit and miss. Beds comfy and plenty of storage space. Bathrooms are lovely but again very short on towels, 1 hand towel per bathroom and 1 bath towel for each guests (these don't even go round you if you are a bit chubby). There is soap, hand cream and air fresheners which is a nice touch. Loud and intrusive music from the bar nextbdoor on Friday and Saturday nights. The whole flat had a funky smell, maybe old, deep seated tobacco smoke and we noticed it on every entry. When opening the bedroom windows it leads to a flat roof which is in desperate need of attention. Bird droppings, mess, really unpleasant to look out on. Storage rooms were really junky, as were some kitchen cupboards and drawers, this detracts from the loveliness of the rest. As does the falling apart drawer unit in lounge. Plastic plants, would look better with nothing. No folder of information such as WiFi, appliance use, GP, restaurants etc. First holiday home I have stayed in without this. Overall a lovely holiday, but far from cheap even in March, and I think with a little attention it could be fantastic. . I think there areblors of

  A super clean, well equipped house a 10 minute walk to the harbour with its extensive bus & boat links to most of the touristy sites.

  As others have said there is some noise from the cross roads outside - it's not a huge issue though as the town is small enough not to have much in the way of a rush hour. There are plenty of eating options in the town - as always the reviews on tripadvisor will lead you in the right direction. The only complaint I have is the creaking floorboards in the smaller bedroom - they can be fixed rather than be viewed as part of the experience of an old house ! The friendly caretakers of the property lived eight footsteps away (I never got their names) they were a wealth of information about the area especially for those doing the coastal path walk.

  My wife and I, my son, daughter in law and granddaughter all enjoyed our 4 night stay at Ingledene.

  We found the house very clean, well decorated, well equipped and comfortable. There were a few areas where the property could be improved. The shower trays in both bathrooms would benefit if full shower screens were installed. In the upstairs bathroom the shower control knob has a metal cover plate and washer, which kept dropping out. The markings on the gas hob knobs are invisible making control of the gas rings difficult. All the towels provided are the same colour making it difficult for individual guests to keep track of their own towels. All in all Ingledene is a very nice house.

  Cut and paste from previous posts really!

  The flat is immaculate. Right on the harbour, beautiful to wake up to. We park the car up in the car park and make the most of Brixham's hospitality all week. (Easy to buy a weekly car park ticket online before you travel). This will be refunded by your excellent hosts, Sian & Dean. Favourite pub - The Blue Anchor, good food menu with local fish included of course. Favourite pub with outside seating - The Old Market House. Pizzas seemed to be the only menu option. Two excellent Chinese takeaways and no shortage of fish and chips outlets. We will be back I am sure.
