Cottage 1 Newcourt

Splendid location: Fast WiFi, Big TV-set, comfortable beds, hot shower, for summer evenings a private yard to sit and eat outside.

A very good location to stay + relax and/or to explore Torbay an the Coast in day trips till Dartmouth an Slapton Sands. Nice walk to Torquay seaside via the Royal Garden Terraces.

The cottage was well equipped, clean and comfortable.

There were only 2 of us, so may be a bit of a tight squeeze for 4 people staying there. The bed was comfortable and the shower was a good size too. The only negative point would be the fact that the cottage was quite elevated, so could be a difficult walk into Torquay and back for people with limited mobility, Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay in Cottage 1 Newcourt.

Cottage was comfortable 2 problems stairs very steep and shower hard to turn on.

The property was very pleasant but being in our 60 s we found the stairs difficult.

Especially as there was no downstairs bathroom. Perhaps you could make it listing a little more specific for accessibility.

The property was a lovely decor, clean, well kept, with an artistic flare.

Themed seaside paintings and ornaments. Nicely situated for the beach, harbour, restaurants and local days out. We went to the Babbacombe theatre twice, the Miniature village watched the air display at Paignton, went to the Cavern Caves, and Cockington Village and crafts centre. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you

We really enjoyed our stay.

We were there 5 weeks in total whilst we waited to move into our new home. The property was well equipped with everything we required. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of bedding. Parking was very convenient- right outside the door. The location was ideal - walking distance to town and the sea front. The host was very responsive and friendly.

No problems at all with this property.

Great stay, lovely location!

So close to the beach and food / cafes / ferry to Brixton. Only point is would have been nice to have at least one toilet roll left :).

It's a beautiful apartment spotlessly clean and quiet its a nice short walk (downhill) to the sea front which again was beautiful and clean with plenty of choice of excellent restaurants.

The Harbour is lovely we had a lovely trip to Brixham on the ferry and had a lovely boat trip around the local coast, no whales or dolphins unfortunately but a few seals and loads of local bird life Not an idea walk back uphill I enjoyed it personally but my Wife struggled but for £5 its a very quick and short taxi drive there was 4 of us so its very cheap to have a local taxi The apartment and Torquay are an idea base to explore the local areas Brixham, Paignton, Teignmouth, Dartmouth & Dawlish all pretty close and well worth a visit its a lovely coastline to explore. If you are an Agatha Christie fan I would recommend a visit to "Green Way" her holiday home its beautiful and we had a great visit to Dartmouth Castle - lots of English Heritage & National Trust places to visit locally too. The property is a credit to both Sarah & Paul the owners and again we had a lovey place recommended by Sykes Holiday Cottages our second UK holiday using Sykes ...... Many Thanks John & Dee

Really lovely cottage spacious clean and everything you needed was there beds very comfy would love to stay again

The property is excellent.

All areas are clean and well-equipped and the parking space right in front of the property is very useful. The street is pretty quiet, the only noise at night coming from seagulls! The location is great, it is a ten minute walk one way to the beach/crazy golf/tennis courts and a ten minute walk the other way to the harbour and shopping area. We would definitely consider booking this property again.

We were very impressed with the cottage and would visit again in the future.

The accommodation was very clean and had all the things we needed. 6 stars

Quiet comfortable place to stay everything you need, walking distance for the town.

Perfect for small family to stay or even just yourself. Definitely return there again

Had a lovely stay in a lovely property.

Very central and peaceful location. Everything I needed was available. Bed was comfortable. Everything was very good and me and my family would definitely recommend.

This lovely cottage is well worth a visit.

Just a couple of blocks back from the front, everything is within easy reach at a very affordable price. The cottage feels quite spacious, is comfortable and well presented. Everything works as it is supposed to, including the very good shower [I hate those ones that just trickle!] The allocated car parking space is right outside the door and the electric gates easy to operate. We visit this area regularly and I would say this is easily the best value for money rental we have had.

Whilst this property is well equipped and comfortable, I wish I had read previous reviews prior to booking.

This property may be a short walk from town and beach, but it is totally unsuitable for elderly people or anyone who has trouble breathing as it is extremely hilly and you will need to use car to get to either, paying quite high parking each day. On top of that we had issues with dirty shower mat, broken shower door, stained towels and dirty mugs when we entered the property. Because we didn't want to disrupt our holiday by waiting for these issues to be sorted, Sykes were very unhelpful when we pointed out these issues, continually stating that we should have pointed them out while there. We felt we were being fobbed off despite sending them photos of the problems we encountered. Needless to say we won't be using them again if they are not prepared to take complaints seriously. Checking back on previous feedback, there have been similar problems going back to 2019. Sykes are obviously not keeping check on properties they rent out. With the high cost of holiday accommodation now, people at least expect basic cleaning and true account of position of properties, both lacking here.

Total misrepresentation

Had a great time thanks!

Only issue for me and not your fault but a near neighbour was smoking cannabis and I found the smell very annoying!

My Daughter and I had a really enjoyable stay at your cottage!

Very well appointed and super clean! We didn’t use them but the dvd’s and games are a nice friendly touch! Only issue, very small one was the bathroom sink plug was faulty, seemed to be missing its mechanism. We will look forward to booking with you again. Kind regards Neil and Daisy

we just booked a cheep get away for a week and didnt expect too much,we were pleasantly supprised on arrival and we would stay again and would recommend too :)

The property was absolutely amazing perfect place to stay, everything was set up so was easy to manage.

Easy instructions on appliances as well. The bed was so comfortable which I always have an issue finding a place with a comfy bed due to my back problems but this was like sleeping in my own bed. Hope to book there again

A very well equipped and comfortable holiday home.

The owners have thought of everything. It has a very stylish, modern feel to it. The kids thought it was very cosy and loved it too! Nice to have some outdoor space also. It was also very clean, tidy and well maintained. It was nice to have secure gated parking and we soon found our way into Torquay by foot. Please be prepared for hill walk up and down. We are so glad we chose this property for our first trip to Torquay. We would have no qualms at booking it again!

The beds were very uncomfortable I had to sleep in the single bed which wasn’t much better.

Great place to stay ,everything provided.

Double bed mattress was too soft and the sofas uncomfortable,but didn't ruin my stay .. Private outside court yard lovely to sit out have breakfast/dinner . With this extremely hot weather there was 2 tower fans provided.. One parking space is provided right outside your door . The cottage is situated on a hill ok goin down to the beach/shops , quite steep walking back ok if u are fine to walk but if you struggle take your car or get a taxi . Overall a lovely holiday , definitely book this cottage again if visiting Torquay and definitely recommend it...

A lovely stay, clean and comfortable, apart from the bed, which was an extremely soft mattress or it's been over used.

Looking forward to our stay again in September. Thank you

The cottage is amazing everything you need WiFi is great all bedding and towels provided everything to hand very clean and we presented improvements every time we stay parking bay for your apartment safe and secure very good communication with owner can’t do enough for you great bloke if you have mobility problems use your car or taxis the hills and steps are a killer

We had a fantastic week in the property the owner had thought of everything couldn’t fault it at all.

Would highly recommend it to anyone, Yes you do have to walk down either a steep bank or a load of steps to get into town but that’s a small price to pay for off street safe parking and a very peaceful location.

This is a lovely property with good access to town centre, as many of you know Torquay is very hilly but this cottage was quite close to the centre.

The cottage itself was very well equipped it had great wifi. Kitchen was well appointed and everything worked as it should, shower and bathroom were excellent, would happily stay here again should the opportunity arise. The cottage was part of a larger house converted into various accommodations. Parking was straightforward and the instructions for arrival were simple and worked. We had one minor issue but a quick phone call to Paul and it was sorted in seconds.

This accommodation was first class.

Very well equipped, good wifi, good heating and very comfortable. would highly recommend it.

Good location añd very comfortable accomodation

Great facilities, the owners had thought of everything they even had a fan.

It was also great to have an outdoor space/court yard. The only small thing to note if I was to be picky would be to consider getting new sofas as current ones a little un comfortable. However when you are out and about on holiday guess you may not be in much. Other than that great comfortable place to stay that is clean tidy and well decorated.

Had a great restful week.

Cottage was as expected and a stones throw for us to all that we wanted to do and see. Would recommend.

We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and well equipped it was.

Good location in a quiet area. To have off road parking was a bonus. Highly recommend it.

We were pleasantly supprised with the cottage.

It was clean, fresh and well equipped. There was secure off road parking. It was very quiet and was within easy walking distance to the town centre and the seafront, although it was a uphill walk back but easily manageable, we found some steps which was a short cut. All in all a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it. Also quite good value

the apartment had everything we needed and was well equipped for our needs.

The only problem was there was no gate zapper which meant i had to keep ringing up to operate the gate but apart from that everything was great. about a 5 minute walk down to the front. really comfortable apartment and very clean.

Very nice property, great location in a quiet residential area.

It was ideal to have private parking right outside the front door and is within walking distance of the Seafront, Harbour and Shops. We found the property nice and clean, and well equipped for a comfortable stay, the beds were comfy too. We will return!

Cottage was clean and very well equipped.

Netflix and wi-fi to keep kids entertained in the evenings. 10 minutes walk to seafront and harbour where there was a good choice of places to eat.

Cottage generally needed a good clean.

There was bits of food on the settee where the cushions meet. The top of the stove was greasy and the shower had lots of black mould round the fitting on the shower door. The waste bins were dirty in the bathroom and the bedrooms. Near the front door there was a pile of leaves. The gutter leaked very badly on the night we arrived. We reported this to the owner who got someone out to look at it. He just cleared out the gutter leaving the mess on and around the front door step and up the front door. I cleaned and swept up the leaves myself. There could be a better welcome light at the cottage, I found this light when I cleared up the leaves, pit the batteries back in and fixed it back on the wall. I don't know if the owners have a third party cleaning person but they do need to check the premises regularly for cleanliness.

Beautiful clean cottage with everything you need.

A lot of thought has gone in to make your stay as comfortable as possible whatever the weather. Perfect walking distance from the town or the beach.
