Location information
The Cove is a stone`s throw away from the Battery Gardens. There is a local bus service from the nearby Mount stop (2-minute walk) for those not fancying the longer 15-minute stroll into the harbour. From the harbour you can then catch a ferry or bus to the wider Torbay and South Devon area, including destinations such as Torquay and Dartmouth.

Nice relaxing week.

Lovely place in a great spot with wonderful views. Very comfortable, especially the bed. My only suggestion would be to have a larger TV and an induction hob. That said we would happily go back again.

it's all about the view

The apartment is in such a great location and has wonderful views across Torbay, it's a very relaxing place to stay. The apartment has everything you need and is very comfortable and clean. When we arrived there was a welcome basket of tea, coffee and biscuits, a very nice touch. At the end of our stay we didn't want to leave.

Location couldn’t be better. Fishcombe Cove unchanged since 1950s, gorgeous and let’s hope it stays that way. Apartment, pool and area very clean - can’t really comment on Value For Money because haven’t compared but we’ve booked again for next year. Thanks Tracey

Great location!

It was most relaxing to sit and look out over the amazing views over Torbay from the comfortable living area.The grounds are well tended and there were pretty wild flowers and grasses. The property was well equipped with a good walk in shower. It was a perfect place for two, perhaps a little tight for two couples. It took a little while to get used to the various codes for gates but it does mean the grounds are not open to the public making it a peaceful place for our visit. The walk to Brixham is15 minutes and there are many lovely places to explore nearby.

Sandpiper apartment

Nice position good views but place tired and in need of some TLC IE broken patio furniture, internal floor near patio needs attention, rusty close drier, poor reception on tv also could do with additional chanels. The lady that we had dealings with Carrie, was very helpful and attentive.

Ticked all the boxes

Site and position could not be bettered, beautiful frontline view of the sea. We had problems locking the door, talking to other visitor’s it seemed to be a common problem, we managed by using the other door. Well equipped and comfortable, loved the terrace with furniture. On the one occasion we had reason to ring the office we had a prompt reply.

Overall good

Both patio doors need to be looked at, lounge door very hard to close and lock. Bedroom patio door also very stiff to slide. Due to this problem we felt unable to have lounge patio door open while sitting in lounge. Double bedroom door unable to close as hits the bed!!
