The views from garden and window to the front , unbeatable. Bathrooms nicely finished and showers in good order and work well ( shame about the toilet)
Garden unkept , old brown leaves not swept all around garden furniture. Litter stuffed in side of one of chairs . Cushions on garden furniture photos are only on seat ,no back or stool cushions ( despite photos showing otherwise). No bbq ( despite photos and messages stating otherwise). No parking permit ( despite messages stating otherwise). Fridge not cold enough, broken shelves in door . Towels not big enough. Sofa seen better days . En-suite toilet didn’t flush ( rectified by plumber during stay). Blind in bedroom fell off. Saucepan filthy with either custard or mushy pea like substance . Knifes and forks had food leftovers on them.Free parking advertised means if you can find a space nearby on a road ( not a car park).

Lovely views harbour
Great to hear bands through window
Good facilities
Carpet bit stained
Outside Stairs down difficult
Inside stairs also quite steep
No nearby parking and though unloaded nearby was quite a trip from car downstairs with luggage and 2 children
2.5 / 5.0
Great location and views. Decent size
Dog mess on terrace on arrival.
Dishes and plates not clean with food stuck on them.
Likewise with knives, forks and spoons.
No plug in bathroom (well there is in one of them but it doesn’t work)
BBQ very dirty and rusty.
Access Steps. Although mentioned in the listing that there are steep steps, if you have luggage and its wet they are an accident waiting to happen.
General feeling that the apartment was a bit tired and needs freshening up.
Accommodation was very warm. No fan provided.
Carpets stained and worn, and generally tired looking.
On providing photos of the issues, the host proceeded in sending irrelevant photos in return. We cleared the mess and sorted out things like dirty dishes ourselves.
Sense of lack of ownership and acknowledgement of the issues (maybe because we visited over a weekend). Complete money grab.
Overall, for the price, the accommodation was very disappointing and didn't meet our expectations. Would not return.
3.0 / 5.0
Location and the view. Good water pressure. Size of kitchen.
Master bedroom bed was uncomfortable. Outside areas were unclean and in need of maintenance. Inside was ok but needs some TLC and updating. Overall is in need of renovating.
Steps to the property are not easy to get luggage down/up and needs accurate description for people with accessibility issues.
Overall it didn't meet our expectations for the price we paid.
3.5 / 5.0
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
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.

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.
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.

The location is amazing, great to get to everything and amazing views
Bit awkward getting the luggage down the narrow steep steps, however the steps are mentioned in the advert.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect location right in the centre of all Brixhams amazing attractions, panoramic views of the harbour and watching the outside world go by if you unfortunately pick the wettest march in years, however superb comfortable accommodation and local pubs made up for this.
Trawling through avalanche of emails on booking where one or two would have been sufficient. There seemed to be a general consensus amongst holiday makers in the local pubs that the booking process (mainly the uploading of driving licence / passport details that took numerous attempts ) would put them off in future.

The Location is great and super views and walks. Lovely large living area, 2 bathrooms. General cleaning items available and a lovely touch of biscuits and tea and coffee.
Only the steps to the apartment, however we were aware of these.

Fantastic place, the apartment was very clean and well looked after, everything was spotless, the bed was very comfortable and a good night sleep was had, stayed for 3 nights and could of easily stayed for longer. the view from the window was just stunning watching the boats every day.

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

The location was perfect, spacious and clean.
Easy to access the key on arrival and leave on departure.
Views were stunning over Brixham Harbour and the terrace was well equipped with a bbq and table with chairs.
The steep steps to the cottage. It would be no good for elderly or infirm.

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.
4.0 / 5.0
Great location, unforgettable views, really good facilities at High Hopes, directly adjacent to the harbour and all local facilities. Great walks along the coastal path. The parking permit included with the deal was really useful and saved a lot of hassle.
The steps leading down to the entrance door are very challenging for all but the youngest, fittest and most agile - if that is you - you'll love it.
It is not possible to get a vehicle close to the property for loading or unloading so think about what you are taking with you and how you will carry/wheel it. The property really does have everything you need - so you really don't need to take much with you.

Absolutely gorgeous property in a fantastic location. The view will blow you away.
We were prepared for the steps down and the drop off. Didn't detract for us but be aware.

The front bay window didn’t have any sound insulation at all in my opinion it could do with replacing.
