We have stayed in Brixham many times over the years. Heron House is an absolute gem as it is dog friendly; has a drive and enclosed outdoor space. Ticks all the boxes for a family holiday with the dog too! Very clean; comfortable beds; the air fryer in the kitchen was very handy too. Fabulous stay. Would recommend .

Nice cottage. Near to the harbour and buses. Lovely field/gardens across the road from the cottage good for dog walking or relaxing and looking over the harbour. Also there is a woodland walk a bit further down which we were told about on our last day. Parking outside on the front drive was a bonus.
