A fabulous property in a fantastic situation in Brixham. Just right for the extended family. Everyone had their own bathroom which was great. The garage/ parking was an added bonus. Plenty of eateries within walking distance.

Fantastic property - beautifully renovated. Bedrooms perfect - with 3 shower rooms - ideal for many guests. Icing on the cake - own garage! Parking can be an issue in Brixham so our own garage was wonderful. Views from lounge and top bedroom - wonderful. Great holiday property.

The house is great in terms of location and there isn't anything that hasn't been thought of. We were really impressed with the facilities and comfort. Absolutely loved being right in the heart of Brixham and the views from the bedroom in particular were amazing.

We stayed in the property with another family, four adults and four children, and the property was the perfect size & layout for us. When we walked into the property we were all extremely impressed with the quality of the decor and the cleanliness throughout. A wonderful location to explore Brixham. Our favourite restaurant of the week was the Old Read moreMarket House, the food and service were fantastic. The kids enjoyed visiting Paignton Zoo and Woodlands family theme park as well as crabbing in Brixham. Would highly recommend this property to anyone, definitely the best holiday property we have stayed in for our budget Hide

Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous house. It is beautifully renovated and it has lots of fabulous amenities. The location within Brixham is perfect, not only because of the lovely view of the harbour, but it is a close distance to a lot of sites. We have all loved staying here in Brixham and have made lots of wonderful memories.

Thank you for the loan of this lovely house. Unfortunately the weather stopped us from appreciating the Devon Countryside completely, but we will have to come back to explore more. We have all enjoyed ourselves, slept and ate well but need to enjoy the Lido to work off the Fish and Chips and Ice Cream!

Lovely house, clean and very comfy. Perfect location to get to plenty of places. Despite the weather, it didn't keep us in, and it was nice to sit out at night for drinks on the rear terrace. Would recommend!

This house has been a very nice location for our stay in the UK. We enjoyed its neighbourhood with shops, restaurants and comfortable as well as hilly walks. The weather has not been too kind to us but the children were pleased to spend this time on the Playstation. Congratulations with the renovation of this comfortable house.

Lovely renovated house in a prime location. We have enjoyed wandering along the harbour, popping into various gift shops, eating pasties and cream teas. Fullers and West Country Deli are recommendations of ours! We recommend eating at the Breakwater Bistro and Old Market House for great views. We visited Dartmouth, Babbacombe Model Village, TorreRead more Abbey and other parts of Torquay and had a great week - very lucky with the weather- there was only one rainy day but we were still able to enjoy it. Liberty Tea Parlour and Cocktail Bar is my new happy place - I love it! Hide

Beautifully renovated property in a perfect location near town! The house is equipped with almost everything you could think that you might need for a multi-generational half term holiday. We lucked out with the weather this week, warm and sunny - we are leaving with a tan worthy of a week in the Med! We ate in a few times and made use of the wellRead more equipped kitchen, but also hadf great meals and drinks out. The Berry Head Hotel, The Blue Moon, and Casa Nostra which is opposite Tesco in town. We had a great afternoon at Dartmouth - -arriving on the steam train from Paignton, a short wildlife watching boat trip from the harbour (no wildlife, but a lovely scenic tour), an afternoon bodyboarding at Broadsands ( the Venus cafe is fantastic) and a couple of swims at the Shoals Lido, just a few minutes walk away, plus a great bar. The remainder of our time was spent walking into town, stopping for ice cream and drinks, and sitting on the fab rooftop terrace here at the house - a little suntrap in the afternoon! Thanks for a really lovely home from home. Hide
