Lovely cottage with good views over Torbay. It's about 15 to 20 minutes walk from the centre of Brixham, half of which is alongside the harbour and marina. The cottage was clean and tidy with all that you would need for a holiday. Bed was very comfortable. Although parking outside is not an option, we found that there was no problem parking furtherRead more up the hill. Having said that there was no problem in unloading and loading the car directly outside. Hide

What a gem of a cottage. For the price range this is worth every penny. The view from the upstairs lounge is outstanding and kept us entertained on the odd rainy period watching the boats coming and going. The facilities are well considered and the cottage was very clean. Personally I slept like a log - probably down to the walking- with the slightRead more light intrusion not a problem. Taxi back from town 6-7. Highly recommended Hide

Very nice stay very clean and good location we were very impressed by the gift of chocolate cake and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. I'd recommend bringing a sleep mask as the outside lights make the bedrooms very light at night other then that it was very quite at night and the bed and pillows were extremely comfy

Absolutely loved our stay at Gorse Cottage & we will definitely be booking to stay there again. We have been staying in Brixham for over 30 years & this is by far one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. Fabulous views of the ocean & only a 5 minute walk to the beach & a 15 minute walk to the main town. Lovely & quiet place to relax.
