We stayed here a number of years ago, and it literally hasn’t changed. The fridge is at an angle and the dishwasher is broken. Whilst as stated we had no hot water which wasn’t a problem as we used the kettle and shower.
The apartment and location together make it super value but it could be so much more.

The sea view from lounge and bedroom is indescribable, excellent, relaxing, exhilarating, what more can I say, I could live here with this view every morning.
The apartment was exactly as advertised. It was modern, clean, had everything needed, a home from home. Good communication with owners before and during stay. Check in easy with all codes supplied.
We would book again if returning to this area, wokk uk ld recommend to others. Excellent value for money in February.

We have stayed at plover 2 many times over the past few years and love it. Since the cove opened in 2015 tried different apartments across the complex.
This seems to be the one we always opt to come back to.
Can be bit noisy if people staying underneath but no different from any of the other apartments in cove.
All of them have limited insulation so you do hear people doors slamming underneath or above wherever you are staying.
Plover 2 is a great little apartment for a couple.
Sea Views are good and area around outside relatively quiet.
Couple of little bits that need addressing.housekeeping standards seem to have dropped a bit.
Not as clean as it used to be.
We had to wash all the cutlery in draw surely this is basic stuff for housekeepers to check ?
Kitchen Draws not been taken out and cleaned for a while.
Few spider webs dirty marks on wood floor.
On arrival big puddle of water by front door full of leaves.
Leaves can’t be helped with the closeness of trees in woods next door.
The water issue should have been dealt with. Top landing of stairs by front door obviously holds water after heavy rain. This can be slippery and should be swept away at least on changeover days.
Balcony was littered with leaves again which we cleaned up on arrival.
Why is this also not addressed by housekeeping?
Takes 10 minutes to sweep and bag leaves.
Anyway enough of the small bad points.
Owners have a little gem here and this gem needs to be looked after.
Close to shops brixham 15-20 minute walk if mobility is good.
Parking spot close to apartment.
Brixham holidays Steve , Carrie and the team great people to deal with.

It is always a pleasure to have you stay with us, I am pleased to hear that you found the team at My Brixham great to deal with and that you love staying on the Cove at Plover 2. I am sorry that you feel the housekeeping standards have dropped on recent visits. As you say it is close to trees, and the weather hasn't been great recently during these types of conditions an area gets leaf-littered again quite quickly. I will follow up with the cleaning team and thank you for your feedback. We look forward to your next visit.

Nice house at a fine location

On the house : Nice comfortable house at a great location. The interior is beautiful and the house is very complete.
The terrace is facing north east, so only in the morning there is sun.
On My Brixham Holidays: customer service was not responding on my mails (even after reminders) shortly before arrival.
So I wonder what happens in case of problems.

Fabulous views and large terrace to watch the fishing boats, the sea and stars.
The apartment is stocked with everything you could need, cute and compact. Great to have onsite parking and the proximity of forest walks with glimpses of the sea, Brixham town close too..
We highly recommend Plover 2 and The Cove.

Pros:

The apartment is lovely, well equipped and has everything you need. It’s in a lovely location and very warm and cosy. Loved the little finishing touches like the spotting scope, milk in fridge, coffee machine etc. Nice private path that leads to a wonderful little beach and in a gated area which felt secure. The apartment is also nice and clean in most areas. It really is a lovely little place so please don’t be put off by the negatives it’s just to make everyone aware and hopefully the owners will read this and rectify.

Cons:

The apartment was full of cobwebs and spiders. And I mean FULL. I’m unsure why there were so many but they were everywhere you looked. The apartment is obviously being cleaned but clearly not being dusted for cobwebs. My daughter was absolutely terrified so I had to go around and clear as many as I could (so hopefully it’s nice and spider free ready for the next person). I’m assuming the owners have cleaners going in for them and maybe they just haven’t noticed but I honestly can’t believe how many there were and some of them were BIG and scary looking. When I rolled the blinds down they were all in the blinds too and we’re just dropping onto the floor (in all rooms) and the blind in the bedroom had loads of spots of blood over it from where the blinds were being rolled up and squashing them. Once I rolled them down and realised I quickly rolled them back up so my daughter didn’t see and we just used the curtains.

Under the bed was a stack of old tiles and cement that had been dumped there for some reason. Also a lot of dust.

The toilet is not attached to the floor properly so when you sit on it, it feels like it’s going to fall over. It scared my daughter half to death (in all fairness it made me jump a couple of times) so she refused to use it where we had to keep going to the holiday park next door to use there’s.

A couple of bits were broken (cover for key safe, dishwasher tablet dispenser etc) nothing major and doesn’t affect the stay at all. I think the owners just need to spend a few days in there to find all the floors and rectify.


I would re visit as we had a lovely stay but they would have to sort out the issues first.

Lovely clean chalet with more nice little extras and bits and bobs that you’d expect to make you feel welcome.

Handover was faultless, everything was clean and as described. What more can you ask for?

If I had to add one thing, it would be a TV in the bedroom but that’s me being ridiculously picky, and with the view out of the doors, I can see why one isn’t included.

Perfect stay, will be back next year.

The location of the property was great, few steps away from the Fishcombe beach which we have enjoyed. On our arrival however the keys to the property were not ready and that cause a bit of stress, but raised concerned as we then found two other keys (one from another property in our apartment - lack of management); property didn’t feel like it was cleaned very well, in particular the bathroom and overall it is in need of freshening up. Our bed was a small double - very uncomfortable, Soft mattress, we barely slept. Oven wasn’t heating up, shower - too cold or too hot and very low pressure…swimming pool, heated? It was really cold! Overall the property had beautiful view and was in a good location.

Thank you for your review, I am sorry that your holiday did not start as you had hoped. The housekeeper came as quickly as he could with a key for you given the bank holiday traffic. We haven't had issues reported to do with the oven before and the owner was down quite recently. The bed I believe is a standard double, unfortunately, bed comfort is something that is impossible to get right for every guest. As I understand the pool is heated at least in part by solar panels. I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and Fishcombe Cove.

A lovely stay in a very comfortable flat with beautiful views!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Plover 2. This was our third visit to Brixham and second stay at The Cove complex and we very happy with our stay again. The flat was very comfortable and had anything we could have needed. We very much appreciated the coffee machine and coffee provided. The owners had left a very comprehensive folder with lots of details and when there was a problem with the blind, we called the caretaker and he sorted it all out very quickly. An excellent service, thank you very much Mr Larkin!

The flat can easily accommodate a family of 4 or two couples/ 4 friends and has all the necessities.

We sadly did not get much of a chance to enjoy the balcony/ deck as much as we would have wanted, because the weather was quite rainy. However, we very much enjoyed the sea views and looking at the boats and Torbay.

The reason I have put 4/5 for cleanliness is because the balcony/deck looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. There were lots of cobwebs around and the deck chairs had many dead bugs on them. The flat was very clean and tidy inside and looked like it had been cleaned recently, but the deck looked like it had not been cleaned for a week or more.

We would definitely recommend Plover 2 to people and we would love to return there again.

Not our first time in this complex and found this apartment to be better, as no one above.
2nd bedroom also better as a twin rather than bunks, plenty of room
kitchen has everything you need if you want to eat in. Note - the toaster does set off smoke detector in kitchen as it should be the heat detector in there, but that is in the lounge, but door and windows open helped - lovely touch with coffee pods and milk being left for us - thank you

Would highly recommend and would stay again

I work in Devon a lot across the year and it’s always my 1st choice if available.
Also Excellent customer service from all the staff at my brixham holidays.
Plover 2 has Lovely views and In excellent location.
We have never had the pleasure of meeting the owners but can see they keep the apartment clean and today with all amenities needed.
Thank you again we Love staying there.
