This two bedroom apartment is a home from home, There's even a games room off the kitchen including table football, air hockey and pool ensuring fun for all the family regardless of the weather.

Disappointing

It was very difficult to locate the apartment. The apartment was a lot smaller than it looked on the website. Very little room around the beds in the two rooms. The main bed was only a double The mattresses were very uncomfortable. The furniture in the lounge area especially the table seats were extremely uncomfortable. The partial view was disappointing.

I am sorry to hear that you felt that the apartment was disappointing. Curlew 3, is a middle-row property as mentioned on the website, the view looks over the front-row properties which are shown in the photos When it comes to mattress comfort it is impossible to get it right for everyone. I will chat with the owners about getting some cushion pads for the dining chairs. I do hope you enjoyed Brixham and the nice places to eat.

Great views, great place, great vacation

Curlew 3 is a great apartment for a couple or a family. My kids (14/9) love it! It is well maintained and the owners have thought of everything and more from books, games, binoculars, games table, TVs in the bedrooms, lovely patio furniture, folders of instructions and information readily accessible should you require it. The kitchen is well stocked with washing machine and a freezer in the back. The back areas gives you extra space to store things too which is handy. The only thing that annoyed me a little was the tiny fridge! It’s not the size or shape which fits much at all so just be mindful what you bring and be good at Tetris to get it all in! The parking spaces are small and there are visitor spaces but “some residents “ get a bit upset if you use visitor spaces and not your allocated space (left a note on my windscreen)- it’s great there is parking but getting in and out with kids and shopping can be a little challenging if people don’t park evenly and because they aren’t that big! However rare to have parking in some places so welcomed too. The pool was lovely- closed a few days due to an easterly wind (?!), closes quite early too. However it’s a nice addition to your stay in the summer months. The location is great- the views are lovely. There is a slight obstructed view but it doesn’t spoil it really and it’s peaceful and beautiful sitting on the patio and even looking out from the main bedroom. It’s a short 10-15 min walk to Brixham centre. A nice stroll through the park area. Costal path access for walking days and lots of accessible places to travel to- Eden project (2hr drive), Plymouth (1hr), Exeter (45mins), Dartmouth, Tourquay etc. we visited the underground passages, the steam train, ferry service, Kent’s cavern, Eden, marine museum, model village, fishing trip (caught no fish!!) etc.
The coves and beaches are lovely and watching the fishing boats go in and out whilst eating and drinking at Rock Fish. Sightings of Dolphins if you are lucky and a few resident seals. Easy to book and get in touch with Brixham Holidays if you need to. We will definitely return and only wish for had a place like this myself (with a smaller car!) ;)

Thank you for your review of Curlew 3, The Cove. It sounds like you packed a lot of fun trips into your stay and got out and about in the wider south devon area. I am pleased to hear the children enjoyed the games room and pool. We look froward to seeing you again in the future.

Lovely location and will return.

The apartment was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need for self-catering and for entertaining the family should the weather deteriorate and you wish to stay in, though the Smart TV was somewhat limited in its functions being an older model and access to the HDMI ports was exceedingly limited making use of our Firestick challenging.

The apartment was smaller than it appeared in the photographs on the website and had a significant amount of cobwebs and dust around the peripheries of the rooms, and the view across the bay was partially obstructed by the apartments in front of Curlew 3, though these minor points did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay with the decked area having good seating and the BBQ and outdoor heated swimming pool being great bonuses.

The location is amazing with well tended grounds and great views across the bay towards Torquay and beyond and the small beach below the property was easily accessible and Brixham waterfront and town centre was only a 15 minute walk around the headland, though the path was not suitable for anyone with significant mobility difficulties.

We will almost certainly be returning for further staycations in the future.

Fabulous apartment with everything you need & more.
Great location, lovely scenic walk into brixham which only takes about 10mins. We didn’t need to use the car once we got to the apartment as everything within walking distance.
2 lovely coves right below the apartment, one with a little cafe. Even saw a seal
Walked to Elberry Cove & Broadstsands along the coastal path from the apartment and caught the bus back to brixham. Both lovely beaches

Thank you for writing a review for Curlew 3, The Cove and for recommending it to others. I am pleased you found the apartment to be a great base for your walking adventures. The local cafe at Fishcombe has only just opened for the season and is popular with visitors and locals. We hope to see you again in the future.

Easter stay at the cove

Idyllic location peaceful and wonderful views
Very clean and contained everything you could possibly need
Great location no need to use car to get to Brixham as long as you’re able to walk up hill
Perfect stay lucky with the weather
Would definitely return to The Cove as a location and Curlew 3 as apartment
