Saltwater Escapes - Brixham

LEE W.

A beautiful apartment, fabulously appointed to a very high spec. Great location for seeing the Town, and very useful to have secure underground parking. We were slightly worried about the views being over the working docks and estuary, but need not have worried as they were stunning - with huge windows to enjoy the outlook. The proximity to the train track was a bit bothersome, as you couldn't hear the television with the balcony doors open when a train went past, but it was a small issue and we soon got used to it. No noise at all when the doors and windows were shut. All in all a great place, and one we shall return to.

It is not often that my wife and I make a point of reviewing our stay at any accommodation during our travels, but Heathcliff in Brixham was a wonderful experience!

Provided by Saltwater Escapes, the hilltop apartment boasted excellent facilities and stunning views of both Brixham Harbour and Torbay as a whole.

As a family of four, with two small children, we found the living space large and inviting, especially having a private glass-balustraded balcony perfectly placed to enjoy the magnificent summer sunsets to the west over the Dartmoor hills.

The bright, roomy bedrooms are comfortable and calming, while also perfect for those who wish to be greeted with the morning sun before heading out for a five minute walk to the tidal pools below (although, I will add that the hillsides are extremely steep for little ones, so bare that in mind before heading out). The master en-suite was well-sized and much appreciated!

The kitchen felt as equipped as a five-star resort chalet, fully modernised and inviting for those nights where the budding chefs among us would wish to flex the culinary skills. The coffee machine was a nice touch, especially with energetic children bouncing with excitement for the day's activities.

I would recommend Heathcliff to both families and adult-only groups not only for its perfect location in a highly sought-after area of both Brixham andTorbay as a whole, but also the warmth and comfort provided. It is in walking distance to Shoalstone Beach, Berry Head National Nature Reserve and the beautiful views from the Brixham Breakwater.

We are already wanting to book our stay for next year!

Thank you Saltwater Escapes!

Our stay at The Rooftop lounge was perfect, the views from the apartment stunning (the trains didn't bother us st all) Spotlessly clean and everything new. Apartment has everything you need (apart from hair dryer ). 1 min from town centre. 5 mins from train station.

The beach house is a really very beautiful house, very well equipped and some lovely goodies left for us. Suited us as a party of 6, 2 kids, 2 adults and 2 seniors. Excellent location for beach walks with small shops, fish&chips and cafés nearby. The only negative and reason it wasn't 5 stars; is that the house was cold, we went in early Feb when weather was 6 and below. The heating was mostly set to 14/15 degrees and was allowed to go up to 17 twice a day for 1 hour. The heating was a pre-set system, which you couldn't change, only boost for an hour when you were there. We kept waking up to or coming home in the evening to a very cold house. Kids and grandparents felt it the most. I guess you wouldn't feel that in the summer though. Put a bit of a downer on the stay and the house.

My husband and I really loved the place. It's really a home away from home with everything we needed. They have provided some basic necessities and a bottle of prosecco as well which was a plus. Our favorite part was the view. The location is a perfect place to unwind and relax. It is also very secure and quiet. Would definitely recommend to my friends and would love to stay here again in the future.

Amazing stay at a really snazzy apartment! The heated flooring was a god send and the balcony was so spacious.
Wonderful to be greeted with a cold bottle of rosé in the fridge.
The mattress was a little too soft for me and my partners liking, but we’re used to a stone mattress!
Lots of cutlery and cookware provided which is nice, however there is no where to store food! We had to prop bread and non fridge food on the table.
Also had lots of fun watching the seagull nests, however they get a little rowdy at night.
Shoutout to the train, thought it would be annoying, but was actually quite standard.
I would love to come back!

Really enjoyed the stay. The only real issue is the parking if you are not fit and healthy. The shortest route is 50% uphill, the longer route has 200mtrs of steep uphill, then downhill and flat. You also will not get a large vehicle close for unloading/ loading, it’s a real squeeze. All that being said we enjoyed it and have booked again next year

The measure of a good business isn't that it ticks along successfully all the time. It's what they do when things go wrong that make the difference. There was an issue with the property we were going to stay in, that was beyond the control of Saltwater escapes and not fixable before we arrived. The company called us immediately when they found out to let us know, and to offer us an alternate property in the area so that we didn't have to go without our holiday.

This is what makes a successful business that people will come back to. We loved our holiday cottage and would have no problem at all using this company again, knowing that they look after their customers. The property we stayed in was really lovely too, with a little welcome pack of goodies, and all decorated very tastefully for Christmas, which really made our stay even better.
