  Situated in a stunning location so close to Brixham harbour with many different walks available from the property. Ivan, the owner, greeted us on arrival and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lovely property to anyone thinking of visiting the area.

• "Monkbarns is ideally situated on the outskirts of Brixham, especially for dog owners and those who enjoy walking."

  There is easy access to nearby public open spaces, the SW coast path and the town centre. Monkbarns is a lovely, compact and well very equipped bungalow. It is spotlessly clean and had everything we wanted for our holiday. There is off-road parking for one vehicle - we only used our car once during our week-long stay. We would thoroughly recommend Monkbarns without hesitation.

• "Monkbarns..."

  Was excellent for our stay in Brixham/Torbay...the cottage was very clean, lovely layout and the extras on arrival were very much appreciated... Just add a waste bag in the bin. Make sure you take the details of the cottage with you when you first go out...or make sure your sat nav works...their are two Northfield Lanes? Fantastic stay...highly recommended.come on you Robins!

• "Monkbarns is perfect for a comfortable break."

  Close to amenities and on a regular bus route. For dog owners, there is a lovely park and walk literally 30 seconds away from the property. The facilities and furnishings are of high quality. My only constructive criticism , would be the absence of curtains and door curtain in the lounge to give a more warm and cosy feel. Other than that , really comfortable. Met the owners who were very welcoming and friendly. Thank you

• "A really lovely place to stay, the best being the balcony through the bedroom, even though it was October we sat out there quite a bit."

  The bed was comfortable, we didn't feel cold but we could turn the heating up if needed. Just perfect for two people with a dog. There was a few parks around for that early morning dog walk so that was great. We didn't really cook a lot of meals( so many lovely restaurants and dog friendly) but the oven was perfect for when we did. A small saucepan would of been handy though, as there was only a big one. And we did have to go and buy sponges and washing up liquid. Although everything was clean everywhere else the bathroom just needed a little extra cleaning, the blinds, the lampshade and the cupboard were quite dirty, And no toilet roll. So many things to do in the area, we explored Dartmoor quite a bit. Would definitely stay again.

  This was our third visit and it never lets us down. Spotlessly clean and very homely. Nice little balcony off bedroom to sit out on with a glass of wine after a busy day exploring the area. Walk into Brixham a bit hilly but views over sea worth it, also a bus runs hourly from just outside cottage into Brixham harbour till 6p.m. Owners live next door & very friendly, lovely welcome pack awaited us, thanks. Would totally recommend this property to couples. Two interesting NT properties close by worth a visit & the model village at Babbacombe not to be missed!

• "What a superb place."

  Ivan the owner went out of his way to provide us with as much information as we would need. The walk from the harbour isn't as challenging as you think, however for” later years” or people with difficulty walking there is a bus stop twenty yards from the property which runs until 1800. Battery Gardens are 20 yards away, so excellent for that quick dog walk in a morning. The property has everything you need. A lovely balcony, which would be superb on a sunny morning for breakfast (we didn't get to use it as it was cold when we visited). Lovely furnishings, very comfortable bed and great parking. Would stay again, most definitely.

  Accommodation is 'spot on' as is the location and the on site parking is a bonus. We stayed there early last year and although we had a lot of rain it didn't put us off so came straight home & booked it for this year. The little balcony off the bedroom is so relaxing, we enjoyed sitting out there in the evening with a glass of wine and watching over towards the sea. Monkbarns is an ideal holiday property, well equipped & even has a bus stop outside with hourly bus service into Brixham as walk back is quite steep.

  A big bonus if you have a dog is the proximity of a large park, it's pretty much literally next door, plus the opportunity for many walkies around the headlands.

  Ivan sent a text to let us know the property was ready for our arrival. He also came to to introduce himself and ask if we needed anything. Very thoughtful welcome pack. There is a park a couple of minutes away that was great to take the dog for a walk. Just be careful and have the dog on the lead before you come out of the door as the road is directly on the boundary and there isn’t a gate. Lots of lovely walks direct from the property.

  The accommodation was ideal for us; about 10 minutes scenic stroll from the harbour (downhill) – about 15 minutes coming back. Ivan and Vicki are first-class hosts, most helpful and knowledgeable and suggested restaurants both in Brixham and in the nearby countryside. Ivan was on hand and responded very quickly to any queries we had which were very few anyway. Glorious views from bedroom balcony across the bay and great sunsets at night. It was a very peaceful and comfortable place to stay and spotlessly clean. It was also very well equipped.

• "Dog owners should probably be aware this property does not have a garden but that there is a park a little way away or a beach that can be accessed for the dog's convenience."

• "Arrived at cottage not knowing what to expect as never booked this type of holiday before, Well were we in for a pleasant surprise, the cottage had every thing you could wish for, nice bedroom and bathroom, nice sitting area and the kitchen was fully equipped with every thing we wanted, there was even milk in the fridge biskets and sweets."

  5 minuets walk into the town and a hourly bus nearby. Would book with Sykes Cottages again on having seen the standard of their properties.
