We loved our stay here, car parking and accommodation is within a gated area, that you need a code to enter. On site there is a shared heated outdoor swimming pool which we took advantage of along with others who were on holiday. Immediately outside the complex is a lovely cove, perfect for swimming (beach shoes needed as it’s rocky). The accommodation itself is quiet, well equipped, internet and tvs, also a bbq. It has two bedrooms, one double one twin. To walk to the town centre of Brixham was an easy 20min stroll. The best thing I liked was sitting on the balcony watching all the boats go by with a cup of tea or a glass of wine.

Really enjoyed our stay at Bayview.. The tea, coffee biscuits and wine were a nice welcome treat. Generally, the apartment was clean. However, the fridge smelt strongly of fish and needed a couple of good cleans before we felt we could put our food in it. There wasn’t anything to clean or wipe down the surfaces other than dish-washing liquid and it would have been handy to have bleach or a toilet cleaner in the bathroom too. Many of the drinking glasses were dirty, possible from the dish-washer but needed washing before we could use them. In the bathroom, due to the shape of the bath, a small grab rail for getting in and out of the shower would be useful.

Mr Martin

Bedrooms uncomfortably small particularly the front bedroom which was almost entirely occupied by the standard-sized 4'6"" double bed! ! Arrival instructions confusing and, with regard to the key-safe, difficult. Entry keypad very difficult to read in many different lights. Instructions need to be amended to comply with the keypad for the entry procedure. "Entry" not "open". The key-safe was very difficult to access which may have been through wear-and-tear through multiple use. It took many attempts to actually open despite always using the correct code. In the wind and rain we experienced upon arrival made the lengthy access to the apartment very, very uncomfortable. Another issue discovered upon arrival was to find the incorrect wifi code in the information folder.

We were given the wrong contact phone number.. This came to light when the security alarm spontaneously activated. We could not disable the alarm so rang the contact number you gave to us only to be informed that the property was not on their management list so could not help us. Although the sound alarm dissipated eventually the outside flashing light remained on. With no control panel or information we found this very distressing. PLEASE make sure your next customer is given good contact details asap! Property was very well appointed but the bathroom sliding door needs attention and the electrically heated towel rail did not work - please inform owners.

Had a fantastic holiday again having booked the same week year before - weather was exceptional.. Recommend the round robin trip to Dartmouth.

You'd be hard Pressed to find a place with better views.. with it being the first floor apartment just gives you a far better view point of the whole of Torbay. All the fittings are of top quality. Along With a lovely walk into Brixham Harbour which takes a steady 20 minutes, which has plenty of benches for a sit down if needed. The Apartment does look bigger in the photos TBH. We will go there again for sure.

We were disappointed to find no mention of very hilly terrain and was not at all suitable for people with mobility difficulties.. There was no proper freezer facilities, except a frozen up ice box in the fridge. The site from time to time had effluent smells, and noises from military Exhibitions and in the evenings noise until late from adjoining holiday home site clubhouse, even up to 3.30 am. This was definitely not value for money, and was not a peaceful and restful holiday we were hoping for. The property was advertised as a 4 person apartment, but it was not suitable due to lack of space, storage and facilities. The location was pleasant with a nice decking viewing platform. The advertised 16min walk to Brixham was for the very fit and healthy, and quite challenging for others.

The Cove and Bayview were a great location for a break, the accommodation was lovely with everything necessary for our stay.. Brixham a short walk away with great views across Torbay . Of course the weather was fantastic which added to our enjoyment. Would highly recommend this accommodation and location.

Excellent appartment - well equipped, in a lovely location and quiet.. You even managed to provide glorious weather!!! As good a holiday as we've ever had! Note of caution for anyone with dodgy knees or hips - it is very hilly and access is a challenge, which probably means that we won't be back. However, we would recommend Bayview to anyone with better mobility than us. It is one of the best holiday properties that we have stayed in and worth every penny that it cost us.

Mrs Onions

The accommodation was excellent, with all the facilities required.. The view was outstanding so having the balcony overlooking the bay was wonderful. The location was ideal as only a 10 minute walk along a beautiful coastal path to the centre on Brixham where there was a good variety of restaurants and bars. Would definitely recommend this property and would love to go back.

The Apartment is looking tired in some areas It is also not as clean as it should be It cost nearly 700 for a week so should be of a very high standard.. We will be choosing alternative accommodation here for next year as although the Apartment when new was lovely it is obviously just an investment for the owner and isn't be cared for as and when people have stayed and left. Shame.

A beautiful location. Fantastic views. Lovely walks. We love it here and have visited every year since it was a new apartment complex. However the cost is very high and increases every year by about 60 but the Apartment isn't as cared for or maintained as it should be. It could also be cleaner for sure.

What a brilliant apartment.. Stunning views. Lovely clean rooms. Really appreciate the finishing touches - tea, coffee, sugar and milk provided together with a bottle of wine and chocolates. The little things like washing up liquid, sponge, tea towels and dishwasher tablets really make the difference. Felt like a real home from home. Can not recommend enough. Brilliant break.
