Guests say

Lapwing 1, The Cove in Brixham offers a beautiful location with lovely views and is perfect for exploring Torbay. The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and maintains good cleanliness. Some guests have noted issues with maintenance but appreciate the property's charm and potential.

The property is generally very clean, with one report of ants which was promptly addressed. No other negative comments on cleanliness suggest it is well-maintained in this regard.

The location is beautiful and ideal for exploring Torbay, with an easy walk into Brixham. However, it may be challenging for those with mobility issues without a car.

Comfort is compromised by issues with mattresses and a toilet that moves. However, the views and overall charm of the property provide some compensation.

Facilities are in need of some TLC, with reports of a fluctuating electric shower, a dodgy on/off button, and a TV with a mind of its own. Maintenance issues have been noted but the kitchen is well-equipped.

While a welcome pack is provided, it is not as comprehensive as some guests have experienced elsewhere. As gifts are not consistently mentioned across reviews, it is not possible to accurately score this category, but guests should note that such amenities are a bonus and not guaranteed.

    The accommodation is starting to need some TLC. Shower grout needs a clean and electric shower fluctuates from hot to cold. It also has a dodgy on/off button. The toilet is placed too close to the wall and the seat needs fastening properly as it falls to one side. Mattresses on beds need replacing. For example the double bed mattress dips on the sides and you feel as if you are going to fall out. The lounge TV has a mind of its own and sometimes struggled to turn it off. The welcome pack consisted of a box of shortbread, a few teabags, coffee sachets and little UHT milk pots. Nowhere near the standard of welcome packs we’ve had before. If these small things could be fixed then it would be a lovely place in a great spot.

    Lovely views, holiday home was good apart from the bedrooms, very small, you couldn't walk along the bottom of the bed as no space. the bed was a small double, Problem with the shower wouldn't turn off..But the views sort of made up for this.
