November 2019

“Ideal for walking the South West Coast Path”
Mr Berry September 2019

“Well located near to Harbour and all amenities.”

Host very friendly and helpful.
Mrs Hill September 2019

“The Annex is a perfect base, cosy and well equipped for our every need.”

Our only regret that due to stormy weather we were unable to make use of the balcony which was a shame. We have already rebooked for June so looking forward to take full advantage next visit. Overall a very enjoyable break and thankyou to our hosts even if we did support Wales !!!
Mr Pix August 2019

“Nice small bungalow.”

Very clean and tidy. Nice touch of extras. If I was being picky bed was a little uncomfortable and I like a window open in bedroom for air but only had double doors. Brixham is very pretty if a little quiet of an evening with most things shutting early. It is well situated for quite a few attractions in the area. Salcombe is well worth a visit. Round robin trip and cheddar gauge walk. Dartmoor as well all around an hour from bungalow. Thank you we did enjoy our stay.
Miss Rushin August 2019

“A lovely comfortable cottage, close enough to walk to brixham town and harbour with free parking.”

Lovely friendly and helpful owner.
Mrs Wynniatt June 2019

“We enjoyed staying at Monkbarns.”

It was just as described. It has everything you need. The car parking space at the front of the property is good too. Nice walks down to Brixham harbour. Don't know what else to say, other than we will be coming back here next year!
Mrs Watson April 2019

“Could have done with hairdryer”
Mr Wilson April 2019

“The bungalow was excellent and very clean .”

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole holiday and wouldn't hesitate in using Sykes cottages again.
Mrs Hulbert March 2019

“Everything we wanted in one place.”

owners were very pleasant and helpful and friendly nothing was too much for them. The bungalow was very comfy and extremely clean,everything was there that you needed,the little treats were an extra bonus really appreciated. The bungalow was handy for touring either walking or by car. The little bays were really lovely nice walks through the woods etc and it only took us just under 15 minutes to walk to brixham harbour where the restaurants were well good. Been to brixham a number of times but this has so far been the best place we have stayed it even our dog enjoyed the holiday as well would recommend this property.
Mr Smith March 2019

“A small but very comfortable property, just a short (if steep) walk from the centre of Brixham.”

There is a bus if you can't walk back up, but you would miss the chance of stopping for refreshment at the superb Queens Arms. Great views from the balcony with a park very nearby. Owners are fantastic and really helpful. A couple of small problems were sorted out swiftly and cheerfully.
Mr Webb March 2019

“So much to do.”

.. place cosy... nice treats
Mr Kay September 2018

“Lovely cottage well sited in a friendly walkable harbour town.”

Despite initial concerns regarding position on a busy road for walking the dog the property is really handy for a local park & it’s only a short walk down to the harbour. Really helpful & friendly owners just next door if needed. Small property but clean & has everything you need for a comfy stay !
Mr Caudle August 2018

“All we needed to have a great holiday, helpful landlord close by to make sure we were OK.”

Cottage was cosy and comfortable and well equipped, brilliant shower! Plenty of things to do. Two good NT properties close by. The ‘Round Robin’ steam train / river boat / open top bus trip should not be missed. Not good for cycling- too many hills and too much traffic on the narrow roads.
Mr Chilvers July 2018

“Perfect cottage for us, in terms of what it offered and its location.”

Owner greeted us on day of arrival and was very friendly. Spent time telling us about places of interest/walking in to Brixham Harbour/dog friendly pubs for eating/local shops etc. Location of cottage was literally yards away from Battery Gardens - excellent place for toileting/walking the dog. Walked through the gardens everyday to get in to Brixham. Fishcombe Cove was a delightful little bay, again minutes walk from the cottage, café on site and a dog friendly (pebble) beach. Off road car parking. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, and would definitely go back to Monkbarns if was staying in that area.
Mr Pask April 2018

“Warm, comfortable and clean.”

Convenient for busses. Owner very pleasant and helpful,
Mr Paine April 2018

“Listed as dog friendly but no garden access although a small wood park is a short walk away.”
Mrs Crumpler April 2018

“Great position for access to Brixham.”

Highly recommended for a couple who enjoy walking.
Mr Cherry March 2018

“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.”
Mr Coles March 2018

“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.

About the location

BRIXHAM

Dartmouth 5 miles; Paignton 6 miles; Torquay 8 miles.

Brixham is a working fishing harbour located on the southern side of Torbay, the area known as The English Riviera, famed for its sunny mild climate all year round. The focal point of the harbour is a life size replica of The Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake’s ship. The prettiest part of Brixham has small cottages in hilly narrow winding lanes leading to the harbour where all the activity is centred. Home to Britain’s largest fishing fleet which regularly lands their catch in the harbour, Brixham fish market sells to major restaurants in the UK. Brixham is the ideal destination for a traditional holiday with many family attractions around Torbay including two Blue Flag beaches, Paignton Zoo and many regattas and maritime events throughout the year. There are a host of safe cycle trails in the area, the South West Coastal Path and some of the best golf courses in the region. A good mix of relaxation or action, to suit all ages, where you are never far from the sea.
