The property was very well laid out both upstairs and downstairs, and was in really great condition inside and outside. We met the owner on arrival, and we were very happy from start of our holiday to the finish. The property is in the perfect position for a walk to town and for a walk to Berry Head.

The Garden House was better than we anticipated. Really cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. Its very well located for walking into Brixham and from there you can get buses to Kingswear, Torquay and Paignton. We hardly used the car which was a bonus. Fantastic property!

This was a fabulous holiday home that allows a dog.

A warm and comfortable cottage which is enhanced by the most welcoming of hosts.

Location good and bus stop outside door for ride down into harbour and back up - very convenient! House spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. Bed super comfy Real home from home. All the nice places to visit or quite near so we didnt have to drive far which is great and local bus service is quite good too.

I have stayed in quite a few holiday rentals and usually there is some little detail missing BUT I can honestly say that I cannot think of anything that would improve the Garden House. It is not a quaint thatched cottage but is beautifully presented, very comfortable, ideal little garden, great location and very friendly and helpful hosts. Many of Read morethe guests have returned multiple times. Really is a home from home. Hide
