Lapwing 3 was a fantastic place to stay - it was well decorated and deceptively spacious! The view was great and it's location was fantastic for getting to Foxcombe Cove (our favourite place to be!) The basics for cooking were provided, including oil and S&P, which always helps. The beds and sofas were comfy and we were able to access Netflix on thRead moree TV, which kept the kids happy on a rainy day. It was perfect for our week in Brixham, and we would definitely stay again. Hide

The Location's views are excellent overlooking the Bay and Channel, and with good walks nearby. The adjacent WW2 Museum is worth a visit for its history of the area. Inside the Flat was very clean and the Facilities are very good, well equipped and work well. However, the 2 bedrooms are very tight. Each has a hanging cupboard but very little shRead moreelf or drawer space. The rear outside passage was messy and not clean, but need not be used. Access is by the front patio doors, but the Multi-lock Levers need maintenance - they were hard to lock. "The Cove" site is fenced and secured, so fairly private and well maintained. On-site Parking is good. Car access to The Cove is via a narrow road and a One-Way road system outbound. Beware Brixham town centre's narrow 1 track, 2 Way streets - best avoided by car unless you enjoy reversing!! Hide

Very small main bedroom bed nearly against wall and no openable windows meaning its stuffy unless you want to compromise on security & slide open patio doors. To make it tighter you added a TV on the wall. Quite awkward getting up in the night and navigating around the double bed.

A small but pleasant holiday apartment in a very good cliff-top location between two quiet and picturesque coves. Good facilities and well positioned to walk into Brixham harbour (15 mins along coast with pram). Communal swimming pool is also clean and convenient. Stunning sea view (from the exterior patio only).

Beautiful location and fantastic apartment - Kitted out with everything you could want. Easy 10 minute stroll into Brixham. Lovely sea view from terrace and from the living room if you stand at the window. Very quiet development - and no road noise. We would love to return.

A lovely, quiet and comfortable 4 night break away at Lapwing 3, which was wonderfully decorated for Christmas! Would highly recommend staying here if youre looking for a comfortable and cosy property within walking distance of Brixham, plus the views of Torquay from the property is a beautiful sight!
