This cottage has a lovely view of the harbour, comfy beds and a great location for Brixham itself. However, this property quite clearly had not been checked over before our arrival (or for some time in months) as it was a disaster! No heating all week (going down to under 5 degrees at night), shower leaking through kitchen ceiling, gas not connected on range (hose wasn't long enough), extractor sounds like it is going to explode, the velux leaked in the kitchen when it rained and twin bedroom stank of smoke after the fire had been lit for a while (we had to move our 6 year old son into our room for last 2 nights). We went away for my birthday as a treat and certainly got more than we bargained for. I know the back steps are mentioned - but they really are frighteningly steep and you tend to use them a lot as you cannot park at the front of the property. ...

We are genuinely sorry about the problems you had at Pebblestones - although unexpected issues do happen, it's rare for them all to happen at once! As we've already discussed, our Property Manager Jacqui visited the house just before your arrival on 4th April to inspect the newly fitted kitchen. Unfortunately she didn't know that the cooker hadn't been connected, and there was no sign of the leak or heating problem that subsequently occurred. We know the Housekeeper offered portable heaters as a temporary measure and tried to arrange repairs on the Sunday of your stay, before you called us on Wednesday - we fully appreciate your wish not to be disturbed further by engineers or to take up our offer of moving to another property at that point. I know that you have spoken with Jacqui by phone and email, and hope the refund made demonstrates the sincerity of our apology for the disruption and disappointment. As a final point, we must reassure future guests that the issues have now all been fully resolved. Tanya, Customer Support...

We absolutely loved our stay in Pebblestones. The cottage was in good condition and spotlessly clean, and the welcome pack of tea and coffee and the bottle of bubbly in the fridge was a really nice touch. The owners had obviously put considerable thought into helping guests make the most of the holiday, providing things like binoculars and telescope, a good selection of books and games etc. The view is just amazing and we never tired of it. It was a joy to sit on the bench in front of the cottage and watch the endless activity in the harbour. The rear steps really are as steep as they look in the photo and need to be treated with care, and be prepared for steep hills and narrow roads - but that is what makes Brixham such a magical place. We were very reluctant to leave Pebblestones and hope to return next year. ...

This cottage has amazing views and many an hour can be spent sitting on the window seat looking out over the harbour. Very well designed and planned to make the most of the space. Easy access to the harbour and surrounding area by foot as long as you are happy with steps....
