    Steps to access property,on reflection would have booked a property with better access even though cottage was comfortable. Although booking.com says free parking this was not the case as roads too narrow Could do with a shelf in en suite as toiletries kept falling into sink

    Good location cosy lovely views

    The stairs going down into the property.

    Very nice little place, extremely convient and brilliant location, right on top of all the shops and local restaurants. Beautiful view over the marina.

    Fabulous location in the heart of the harbour.

    There were security lights to help navigate the steep steps to the front door, but they had been switched off accidentally probably from inside the property. Having a torch was useful as we arrived at night. After that, the light was kept switched on and no problems at all. As everyone has said, the steps down are steep; not a problem for us; we had read the description and we had seen the other reviews so knew what to expect.

    The location could not have been any better. Right on the quayside above some lovely restaurants and bars with views over the harbour bowl. We arrived in the dark and the view of the lights around and in the harbour as you open the gate to enter the property just takes your breath away. The owners/managers are very keen to make sure that there is nothing you need to make your stay perfect; they called before we arrived and the day after to see if all was well and the information we received before arrival was really comprehensive and easy to access.

    The fact it shows this nice terrace in the pictures, but it isn’t that appealing. Also you have to go up a narrow set of stairs to get to it.

    Nice little apartment, perfectly located. Right in the harbour.

    The access to the apartment is very steep and narrow. This could have been clearer. And also work is going on above the BBQ area making it unusable due to noise during our stay but that's no fault of the host.

    View from the lounge is excellent and a great location to be central to brixham. It's clean with everything you need and the host could not have been better

    Not really a dislike as we were expecting it, but the stairs at the rear of the property where you access the unit are REALLY narrow and steep. we are pretty mobile so not a big problem for us, but those less mobile may struggle.

    Great location and plenty to see. plenty of room for just the two of us, and the property is very well set up. great property for a few days.

    The steps were particularly steep. The ad did mention that there were steps but it needs to be made clear exactly how steep they are and the fact that they are very dangerous when carrying luggage down them. Also we had no Wi-Fi for the whole of our stay despite reporting this as soon as we arrived.

    location was excellent

    As pre-warned, the steps were steep and narrow and returning at night with limited light, was a little tricky. Perhaps additional lighting would help.

    Fantastic location!! We loved watching the hustle and bustle of the harbour from the outdoor space and lounge window.

    The outside space was a lovely garden terrace but I feel it could have had a bit of a clean up. eg - dandelion weeds on the steps, the outside table underneath the cover was dirty, fairy lights on the back wall not working. It could have benefited from a good sweep around.
