Gorgeous cottage, really well equipped and beautifully clean. Steep hill to climb to get back, but worth it for the views! Lovely welcome basket too.

The rubbish was only collected on Friday ( the handbook stated 3 days) not specifically an issue but if the owners are paying for 3 collections it only happened once.

This was a beautiful cottage to stay at during our time in Brixham, it is in a really great spot with a lovely view of the harbour from the 2 front bedrooms,just a short 5 ish minute walk away. Everything was so clean & pristine you couldn't fault it.We all slept so well here as the beds were so comfortable & great blinds blocking the light out in Read morethe mornings! We loved the touch of the original owners ornaments in the downstairs loo.If we were to revisit Brixham again,we would come back to stay Hide
