    “A double bed wedged into an alcove - you had to crawl in and out from the bottom of the bed - even worse on window side - and there was nowhere to put a clock, book, hot drink and very poor light for reading.”

    Several of the downstairs lights were not working, making the breakfast area very dark and dreary. We couldn’t find any spare bulbs. Didn’t like the dreary opaque film on most of the windows - you couldn’t even gauge the weather. The heap of crumbs under the toaster was not good - found when trying to reach the power sockets behind it.

    Several of the downstairs lights were not working, making the breakfast area very dark and dreary. We couldn’t find any spare bulbs. Didn’t like the dreary opaque film on most of the windows - you couldn’t even gauge the weather. The heap of crumbs under the toaster was not good - found when trying to reach the power sockets behind it. We have stayed in Sykes accommodation many times, small and larger properties, they had always been brilliant. This one was the worst, the bed and lighting were especially difficult to cope with - we were so glad we were only staying 3 nights.

    We are disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy your break. We have moved the bed out of the alcove to make access easier and we will add a table and lamp as suggested in the near future. Our cleaner has checked all the light bulbs and they are all working. Maybe you didn’t find the light switch for the kitchen which is on the low wall on the left next to the fridge. The switch for the dining area is near the table by the door to the sitting room. We are considering ways to make these more conspicuous. The opaque film is to provide privacy in the kitchen and bedroom from the street and the neighbours. The crumbs under the toaster was a complete over site and the cleaner has been informed. Our apologies for this. Once again we are sorry for your dissatisfaction and it is a shame you didn’t telephone so we could have rectified some of the issues. Kind Regards Nick and Sharon Property Owner

The property

Bridges Cottage, a one-bedroom romantic dwelling, is situated in the picturesque village of St Marychurch near the Devonshire coastline.

Lying close to the beautiful Babbacombe Bay and within walking distance to some of Devon’s best attractions, the cottage welcomes two guests, perfect for a couple’s retreat.

Whilst some of the original features within Bridges Cottage have been preserved, the property has a contemporary feel, furnished with stunning slate flooring on the ground floor and an array of state-of-the-art appliances.

Enjoying an open-plan interior, you’ll arrive at a wall-mounted TV, a small kitchen boasting white fitted units and wooden worktops, and an inviting dining table, perfect to relax around, enjoy a meal for two, and plan your itinerary.

You’ll also locate a separate snug with a sofa bed to offer an alternative space to unwind.

Head outside to the rear patio to take in the Devonshire sunshine, a wonderful place for alfresco dining in warmer months.

Upstairs you’ll find a double bedroom, finished with plush bedding and ample storage space for you to store your personal items, which is serviced by a contemporary bathroom with both a bath and shower, ideal for a long soak or a quick refresh.

Devon’s St Marychurch is choc-a-bloc full of excellent cafés, award winning tearooms and restaurants, and let's not forget the traditional fishmongers shop in the precinct, a greengrocer, bakery, and butcher's shop, all part of the charm of this traditional part of Torquay!

Why not pop into the precinct or stroll along Babbacombe Downs where you will find the famous Victorian cliff railway.

The nearby town of Brixham has a delicious selection of the freshest fish and seafood which arrives daily at the thriving Fish Market.

On your travels you will also find Babbacombe Model Village, spanning over four acres of award-winning gardens, along with St Marychurch’s two historic church towers which dominate the Torquay skyline.

For the chance to explore the county and its heritage, why not visit Kents Cavern, one of the most important Stone Age sites in Europe, one of Britain's best show caves and one of Devon’s most popular attractions; why not be guided by a professional tour?

Heading towards Torquay, Torre Abbey and Torquay Museum are recommended attractions for history buffs, whilst Manscombe Wood is a tranquil nature reserve, ideal to tour by foot.

Add Paignton as a stop off on your itinerary, where you can enjoy a secluded part of the shore at Fairy Cove, take in the coastline at Paignton Pier, or visit Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, hosting various events and feeding experiences.

Spend quality time in Devon with Bridges Cottage as your base.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
