We loved our stay in this cottage in Brixham, had everything we needed and was very comfortable, a pleasure to come home to after exploring the surrounding area. Colin was helpful and friendly. Couldn't ask for more really!

Very cute cottage close to the centre and the park, well equipped kitchen and smart bathroom! Neighbours were all very friendly and the harbour area has plenty of places to explore and eat. Lovely walks within easy reach as well as frequent and reliable public transport. I parked up and dont use my car all week! Loved my week - will be back!

This was a welcome revisit to Signalmans Cottage and we were thrilled to be back. The cottage is compact but has everything that you need for 2 people and their dogs. Everything is really well thought about and the space is used brilliantly. The location is fantastic and the cottage itself is bright and airy. We always appreciate the call from CoRead morelin before we arrive. It makes such a difference and makes us feel really valued as guests. Thanks as always. Well certainly be back again! Hide

I would describe the cottage as very unwelcoming. Theres a small carpet as you enter the porch and that was absolutely filthy. Inside we always have a few fresh flowers, a bottle of milk, bread, wine and usually a few local goodies. All that was there was some sachets like you get it a one night stay in the Travelodge minus the biscuits. Upstairs Read morein the bathroom there was one toilet roll. Nothing else, no toiletries or cleaning products, not even hand wash upstairs or down. The bin in the bathroom wasnt even emptied. In the kitchen it was missing kitchen roll, J cloth, hand towel and oven glove. There was broken glass on the floor. When we put out the placemats, they were all sticky with food stains, we got out of chopping board that had dried onion on it, the glasses on the shelf had to be washed before use. The shelves havent been wiped down. We spent the first evening after buying cleaning products trying to sort it out. Hide

Lovely cottage but needs more care and attention. The cleaning on our stay was not up to basic standards when we arrived - e.g. bin not emptied, broken glass on the floor, hair in the bathroom. If this is resolved swiftly then it would be a lovely place to stay - the location for Brixham is wonderful, enough out of town that it is peaceful but easiRead morely accessible, right next to a small park to walk the dog, and easy to get out and about in the car if needed. The cottage is small but the space is utilised well and it never felt cramped. Hide

Signalmans Cottage was perfect in every way. Everything that we needed was supplied, and the cottage was warm, cosy and beautifully cared for. Youre a five minute walk from the busy harbour but the street is incredibly quiet. Theres obviously been a lot of love, thought and generosity put into the cottage, and Colins communication is second to noneRead more. We cant wait to go back! Hide
