We had a lovely stay thank you. Would stay again. We have friends that live just down the road so it was a good location for us & just a short walk into town & our favorite beer garden at the Prince William.

We had a fabulous stay at Forrest Cove over the Christmas period. The house was decorated very nicely. We cannot fault the cleanliness and facilities. It was a short walk from Brixham Harbour and town. We would highly recommend this house to friends and family and hope to return in the not too distant future.

Lovely house, great location, a very short stroll from the harbour, comfortable in every way. Loved the view from the swivel chair in the bay window- one way was Hollywood hills, the other way was Torbay! Fantastic walks in both directions and the sea was lovely for a dip.

My family & I really enjoyed our stay over Christmas. The house was lovely & warm. The downstairs shower is heaven. If I was going to be pedantic, cooking scales a pastry brush & a bluetooth speaker for the kitchen diner would have made it a home from home. No provision for recycling as the waste is commercially collected. Parking is at a premium.

Amazing property! It felt really homely, had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and was really well equipped. The location was great but be warned that it is on a very steep hill and there isn't often a parking space close to the house. There are lots of steps inside the property too so probably not suited to those with mobility issues. ThRead moree upside of this is that we definitely feel fitter after our two week stay! Hide

Forest Cove is beautifully decorated throughout with top of the range appliances in the kitchen, comfortable living area and the most cosy bed.

Forest Cove is a fantastic holiday rental, well presented, well equipped in an ideal location. As previously stated due to the access steps and staircases in the property probably not suitable for small children. The only negative is parking. In the immediate vicinity there are about 10 spaces, 2 of which are disabled. The close over the road the rRead moreesidents seem to have taken issue and park on the road instead of their driveways to stop parking so it can mean a 300 - 400 yard walk to park. Hide
