"The cottage is an excellent base for a holiday in South Hams."
A very comfortable apartment all on the first floor level. It is in a very quiet location with a picture window overlooking a meadow. The owners have attached feeders to the tree outside the living room window which attract a variety of birds. The cottage in on the edge of a small village with pub, restaurant and fish and chip shop. There is a bus stop almost outside the gate with a regular bus service to Plymouth and footpaths in the countryside close by.

"Everything was as expected."
A beautiful holiday apartment with plenty of storage space in kitchen and walk-in wardrobe in bedroom, and two extra cubby hole spaces. Be aware there is no grocery type store in Brixton village at the time we went (April 2021) but a Co-op store 1.5 miles away in Elburton (not walkable as busy road and no pavement). There is also Ben's Farm shop (lots of organic produce) on road to Yealmpton about 1.6 miles. Various supermarkets in Plymouth area.

The first floor accommodation is clean, comfortable and spacious for two, plus having a picture window with a countryside view. We have booked many holiday properties over the last two decades and these facilities are very highly rated in our opinion.

Just one small suggestion here (and I am being very picky), the fridge freezer was too small. That said, we would definitely go back again, without question. It was a great holiday, made better by the brilliant weather.

"My stay at Northlands cottage was brilliant."
The cottage itself is beautiful with everything you need. The views are stunning and enjoyed seeing the pheasants in the morning and the squirrels feeding on the feeders on the trees by the window.
The owners themselves are very friendly and would do anything to ensure a good stay.
Can't wait until my next stay!

"Northlands cottage was a lovely place to stay, we really enjoyed our recent week there the cottage was excellent and the owners Dave and Jackie were really friendly and helpful."
The cottage was in an excellent location for getting out and about the beautiful countryside, we had some amazing walks due to the information given in a leaflet inside the cottage we would not have found them ourselves. The cottage was in the lovely village of Brixton and had a fantastic pub very good food and friendly bar staff, also a great chip shop so you could never go hungry. The cottage had an amazing view from the living room and Dave had loads of bird feeders right outside the window, we could watch all the birds coming to feed there even a woodpecker. We are really hoping to go back in the next year or two as this is the best cottage we have stayed in. Thank you Dave and Jackie for such a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

"Great communication from both Sykes Cottages and this property's owner."
Great directions made it easy to find and access. Allocated parking, accommodation absolutely spotless, beautiful fresh bed linen and all the storage you need including coat-hangers! The bird feeders and bird houses right outside the big picture window provided much more entertaining viewing than any of the TV channels on offer. Only short walk in to village for local pub, restaurant, shop with art gallery, and church, or to Otter's Garden Centre (great cakes!). Easy drive to local supermarkets, centre of Plymouth and to Boringdon Park and Stadden Heights Golf Courses which both offer very scenic views. Interesting open evening at Crownhill Fort which included rifle and cannon firing. Nothing negative to say and came home well relaxed.

"Northlands cottage is in a fantastic location to explore the South Hams area of Devon ."
The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our weeks stay. The view from the living room window certainly has the 'wow' factor and the owners have put an abundance of bird ( and squirrel ) feeders on the trees directly outside so if you like wildlife watching it is lovely to watch all the activity surrounding them . The village of Brixton is lovely and quaint we found people only too willing to help us with the best places to visit during our stay . Local pub just a five minute walk away which also serves lovely food . Would highly recommend this cottage .

"We live in France and required a cottage for one week which was near the port of Plymouth."
The cottage was more than described as it was superb in every respect. We enjoyed wonderful views across open countryside watching the wildlife from our lounge window. The parking of my car was behind motorised locked gates and very secure which is very reassuring when in another country. Our host Jackie and Dave were very helpful and could not be more charming and were there to greet us on arrival and when we vacated. We will definitely come here again as it everything we could have wished for.

"Overall very good."
Lounge leather sofa well past its 'sell by' however and needed something more comfortable but we had to use loads of cushions (a contrast since almost everything else was really good quality). Also could hardly see anything with lamps - bedroom not so inconvenient as there were 2 lamps either side of the bed so possible to read just about, but in lounge only one small table lamp next to sofa and all three lamps had thick dark turquoise shades allowing very little light so had to keep bright overhead light on all the time in lounge.
Recycling - although one line mention in info book about how the area was very rigorous about its recycling we found the 2 big bins outside the door both had large plastic black bin liners. But the owner had left us no info. about how to sort recycling and no different colours of smaller bins in order to do so - for e.g. in hallway downstairs where washing machine is there could be several smaller plastic bins with labels telling guests which recylables could be put in each bin etc. EASY!
Recycling everywhere is always a bit different so wherever we've stayed this has never been ignored by owners.
But a well built, clean, warm and convenient place and owner helpful and friendly.

Great views from the large window facing the fields and wildlife, keep an eye out for the owls that sit and sing on the electricity poles on an evening. Beautiful sunsets. it really is a lovely place to stay. Village is nice with a good pub and excellent fish and chips from the local shop, also only 10 minutes from Plymouth city center. Good location for visiting the area, Dartmouth and Salcombe a must see. Last but not least lovely friendly hosts who make you very welcome......5***** holiday. Thanks.
