The cove is an excellent break location, having its own cove to swim only a few 100m away. Puffin 4 was a delight with the best views across torbay and a large balcony. The apartment was spotless, very well furnished with comfortable beds and sofas, the kitchen was well equipped, not that we eat in much as there are plenty of eateries. We would highly recommend staying here and will be coming back ourselves.

We love it at the Cove. Wonderful location which is hard to beat - the beach immediately below the chalets and now with a popular cafe bar (this makes it a lot busier / only down side!) but a short coast walk around the corner is the little cove that makes a wonderful evening bbq and paddle board location.

This is the 4th time we've come back, we do love it. It works perfectly with two young children. It is well equipped and set up, it's a shame there's not a bath, and for the price you pay to come which has increased over the last years (and although it is self catering) toilet rolls should really be supplied? There isn't a hoover available inside - this would help with the inevitable sand and grit that builds up over a week hire.

The holiday park site right behind the cove is increasingly loud. Most nights the music and noise from the karaoke bar is intrusive on the calm you get in that location - it's only metres across the road. It's very loud and interferes with children's bedtimes in the summer -
It goes on well into the night, Not much anyone can do but worth mentioning.

The couple below Puffin are lovely - super helpful and keen to make sure we are happy there.

Lovely stay, hope to be back.

Thank you for your review of Puffin 4, The Cove. I am pleased you continue to enjoy Brixham and The Cove Development as a holiday destination and would recommend it to others Puffin 4 The Cove is pictured with a shower, it may be that you were looking at another apartment on the development which may have a bath. I am sorry you felt the music from the holiday park was intrusive, however, I have to say it is not something we hear much about in reviews. Glad overall you enjoy your stay and we hope to see you again soon.

The location was amazing and after a hitch at the start of the holiday ( wrong postcode given, and wasn’t given codes for gates ) we enjoyed our stay .
The property had absolutely everything you needed , although the tv was small , the view was breathtaking .
We parked our car on arrival and didn’t need to use it again. A short walk into Brixham and around the coastal path was great .
Sitting on the deck watching the boats will be something we will remember.

Thank you for your review for Puffin 4, The Cove. I am sorry there was an error in your arrival information. Guests are always welcome to call the number provided should they have any difficulty finding their accommodation. I understand from talking to you that you hadn't thought of calling on the day of arrival as you were rather stressed. Once you did contact us you were given the full set of codes for all gates, this information is now included in the arrival information and the postcode is now correct. I am sorry for the negative impact the errors caused the start of your holiday. But I am delighted to see that overall you had a great stay in Brixham.

Nice enough

We have stayed at the cove many times over since the complex first opened in 2015.
I work in Devon various times over the year and always tend to stick to the same apartments at the cove for relaxing base when not working.
This Time we thought we would give puffin 4 a try.
Not disappointed at all lovely clean apartment perfect views across Torbay.
Everything you would need to have a lovely base for walking or chilling.
The owners should be proud its lovely little touches and plenty of books to read.
Your own parking space provided nearby so no dragging bags and cases.too far.
Customer service excellent as usual from the team at my brixham holidays.
Puffin 4 now on my preferred list for future bookings.
Thank you all we can’t wait to go back.

We booked a last minute trip to Brixham, and chose Puffin 4 for it's views and location. We were not disappointed. Compact, but with everything you need. Brilliant location, 15 min stroll into Brixham. Fantastic views of Torbay. Lots of little coves locally to explore. Great base for visiting the whole Torbay area. Highly recommended.

Comfortable, extremely well equipped property with lovely modern decor in a great location with stunning views. What's not to like? Minor electrical problem solved quickly & efficiently by My Brixham Holiday at a time to suit us & without spoiling our stay. Thank you for enabling us to celebrate our Golden Wedding with our family. (Son & family in Osprey 2). We will definitely be back.!

Love this place the views are awesome . Very clean head up to the cleaning company just feel better pillows would be good as they were very thin . Also the Tv still small same one as when we came in 2019 and 2021 could do with a bigger Tv.
Weather was against us with the storm being there and a little cold without the heating on.
Would still return though




Carrie Toms replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for staying with us once again at Puffin 4, The Cove. I will let the owners know about the pillows and your thoughts on the TV. Sorry to hear the weather wasn't kind, thank goodness for heating. We look forward to seeing you again.

We have stayed at The Cove two years ago, in a different apartment. However, we loved No4 just as much, and we would stay in this apartment again. The views are incredible. The apartment has everything you need to enjoy your holiday. It’s the little things like, serving bowls, a decent set of knives, a good corkscrew, foil, decent towels! The smoke alarm is very sensitive, so we couldn’t use the grill, as it kept going off, which isn’t nice for other people who are trying to relax but, apart from this, the apartment is brilliant, and we shall return.



Puffin 4,

This is our 3rd visit to Brixham. The first in this apartment. It's gorgeous. Well equipped, well positioned and comfortable for my family of 4. Two adults and two children aged 9 and 12 had plenty of room to enjoy our holiday. The weather wasn't really on our side so we didn't sit out on the balcony but having the doors open to the sea and view across to Torquay while sat in comfort on the sofa will be the part my husband and I will miss most.
The area is gorgeous, food fabulous and plenty of activities to do. We recommend Pennywells farm, sadly ours are getting a little to old for this one now but it's a really lovely visit. Steam trains, otters and beaches. Puffin 4 is a perfect base for a visit to Brixham and it's surrounding areas xx

Thank you for your 5/5 review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay despite the weather. We look forward to seeing you again, for more lovely views and hopefully a bit of sunshine.

This was our 4th visit to the Cove and as always our holiday was just about 100% perfect.
All I can say to anyone who is looking at renting any of the apartments is do it.
You have your own parking space gorgeous views of Torbay, the walk into Brixham is just lovely where you are greeted by a little Seaside working harbour that never gets boring and if you wish to travel you don't need to use the car the bus service is excellent or the ferries and even the Steam train service from Paignton to kingsmear and then Dartmouth.
And the kids love it too.

Excellent location with wonderful sea views across to torquay. Key coded gated access with safe parking. Efficient booking service. Modern, clean flat, nice bathroom. One very small thing - bed frame a bit big for small bedroom.

Thank you for writing a review for Puffin 4, The Cove and for recommending it to future guests. I am glad the location worked well as a base, we do have some amazing National Trust places locally. I love to visit Greenway and really recommend Coleton Fishacre nearer Christmas when they have the lights.

Lovely place to stay.

This was our second visit to the Cove, different apartments. Stayed at Osprey 1 last year, Puffin 4 , this visit. Amazing view of the bay, and we were blessed with the weather. Very comfortable apartment, and very clean, credit due to the cleaning team. The only constructive suggestion, i would make, is a bit bigger size, microwave. The capacity was too small, for square containers. We came for my husbands birthday, but would love to come back in the summer.



Carrie Toms replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for writing a review for Puffin 4, The Cove. I am really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with your husband for his birthday. I will pass on your kind comments to the cleaners. I will pass your feedback on the microwave to the others for their consideration. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
