Plover 1, is a luxury two-bedroom beach apartment with its own fantastic terrace as well as access to a seasonal communal swimming pool, and is the perfect place for holidays with friends and family on Torbay’s stunning coast.

Beautifully furnished and just a short walk from Brixham’s vibrant harbour and fish quay, this lovely property offers guests not only a well-equipped and comfortable base where they can completely relax, but also easy access to all that this popular seaside town has to offer, from coast path walks overlooking a sparkling bay, to wonderful beaches, a brilliant foodie scene and an array of land and water-based activities.

Open-plan in design, the apartment’s living area has large sliding doors leading out to a spacious private terrace where guests can dine, entertain and unwind in the sunshine. The fabulous kitchen comes fully kitted-out for whipping up home cooked meals, and tables both inside and out provide guests with the option of either feasting alfresco on bright days or dining indoors when the weather is cooler. Ideal for couples and families, TV’s in both bedrooms as well as the lounge mean everyone gets to enjoy their own space, and a family bathroom with bath tub is perfectly suited to guests with young children in tow.

Just a short walk from Fishcombe Cove means early risers who like to have the beach all to themselves, can indulge in sea swims first thing in the morning, and with the iconic beachside Fishcombe Cove Café’s delicious breakfast menu on offer, a swim can followed by a hearty, freshly cooked refuel! Days out can be spent either crabbing on the Marina, strolling along the Breakwater or discovering one of South Devon's best sea views up at Berry Head. Of course there are also plenty of terrific beaches in the area too like Broadsands and Goodrington in Paignton, and Blackpool Sands, Slapton and Beesands just across the ferry and over into the South Hams.

Our second summer holiday staying at 1 Plover, chosen for its great location for a holiday with our young family.

The property is very good for a family of four, with most things you could want. The only persistent major let down is the limited opening hours of the pool (10-6), which is limiting if you want a swim after the kids have gone to bed.

Versus our previous stay the cleanliness was a bit disappointing, as was the provision of some basics (why only half a toilet roll for a week booking? TV remote not working and a few other things)

Overall, a good place, just slightly let down by cleanliness and preparation.

great location close to the sea. it would be the best place ever if it had a see view. we mover for a second week , to an apartment in the same complex with a sea view, which was smaller and not as well appointed. it would be ideal to have both a very comfortable place with a sea view

The property is in a wonderful location and is comfortable. Great customer service. Upon arrival, we found the travel cot was broken and it was replaced within the hour. However, the property wasn't cleaned to a standard I would expect for new arrivals. There was food still in the sink drain, glass and plasters amongst other debris under the sofa, cigarette papers on the veranda, plaster stickers under the beds in the twin room and a hair in the freezer. Some of the furnishings need a little TLC. For those young children, there is a high chair in the property despite not being confirmed in the amenities.

We had a great stay in the apartment, situated right beside Fishcombe cove . The cafe at the cove was so convenient and Brixham is a short drive away. Highly recommend as a base to visit Dartmouth and Greenway.

Nothing more than for your benefit the kitchen tap drips and the loo roll holder in bathroom needs fixing. The overall experience is excellent and we will be using luxury costal again.

We stayed at Plover 1 for a week on our holidays & it was just perfect for us! The location was just lovely & with a very short walk, there is a small cafe with the most amazing views. Absolutely love Brixham & will be booking again when we return.
