Overview
Downstairs, the home’s third bedroom has ‘zip and link’ twin beds which can be made up as a king, to offer versatility to suit all guest parties. There’s also a cloakroom and utility as well as a movie room, with bean bags and a large flat screen TV where you can dim the lights, grab the popcorn and settle in for your very own cinema experience. To the back of the property, a terrific garden with decked patio, BBQ and dining suite means outdoor dining and entertainment are firmly on the agenda, and guests with dogs and / or children can watch them play in the sunshine as lunch sizzles away on the grill.
Brixham is one of Devon’s most popular holiday destinations and it’s easy to see why. With a working harbour and famous fish quay, freshly caught local seafood graces many of its restaurants’ menus including Rockfish, Simply Fish, Beamers and Alberos. The town is also awash with independent shops, cafes and bakeries, with The Wine Loft a must-visit spot for anyone who enjoys speciality wines and deliciously paired nibbles. The coast path makes a lovely day out whether walking up to Berry Head Nature Reserve or down to the coves at Fishcombe and Churston, and visitors with pushchairs or limited mobility can enjoy a gentle stroll along the Breakwater; an ice cream in hand of course!

Welcome to Brixham
There’s a nostalgic feeling to Brixham holidays that makes them feel a world away from the daily grind; a friendliness from the locals who call the town home as well as a tangible connection to its seafaring past. This picturesque town perched quietly on Devon’s south coast is still a bustling fishing port, where clusters of colourful cottages in every shade of the rainbow seemingly tumble down the hill towards the harbour’s quay, with boats and trawlers offloading their daily hauls ready to be transformed into the local restaurants’ ‘catch of the day’.

An excellent property to explore Brixham and surrounding areas. Very comfortable with all amenities provided for. Children loved the movie room and had a nice garden for barbecues in the summer. An easy walk in to Brixham harbour and good parking space available.

Disappointed
3.5/5
3.5/5
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the most recent reviews for this property - in that it needs some TLC. The property isn't awful - far from it, and we really enjoyed our stay. However, the niggles started to add up over the course of the week. This made for a slightly disappointing experience overall. When you enter the property, you are immediately faced with a skirting board covered in some fairly significant paint chips (presumably from people bashing their luggage against it). It's only a small thing, but it's not a great first impression and it almost sets the tone for the rest of the property. A lick of paint would make a huge difference here - as it would in other areas. The outdoor furniture needs to be replaced, one of the window panes in the living area has blown and needs to be replaced, the rug in the living area is on its last legs and needs to be replaced, one of the upstairs blinds (in the bedroom facing the garden) is broken and needs to be replaced, and there was an unpleasant damp smell downstairs. We were also disappointed with the cleanliness of the property. There were cobwebs all over the property (around light fittings and radiators) and we had to re-wash the cutlery and glasses. There were also other niggles such as no toilet brush or hand towel in the upstairs bathroom (which is the main bathroom in the property). None of the issues are unsurmountable and many are easily fixed, but they take the shine off of the property. In terms of positives, it's in a great location (a 5/10 minute walk from the town and harbour), there is a great view of the harbour from the living area, parking is great, the rear garden is extremely secure and the living area and kitchen (in particular) are very nicely done. The property isn't lacking in any way, but it needs some TLC to make it a top quality option once again.

Hi Colin, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for the valuable feedback. Since your stay we have repainted the inside of the property including the skirting board to ensure guests first impression is improved! The outdoor furniture and carpet is in the process of being replaced shortly, the window and blind replacement will also be looked into. A ventilation system has also been put in to ensure they are no damp smells in the property, we have passed over your feedback regarding the cleanliness. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location and views from the property. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Good location but lots of TLC needed
2.7/5
2.7/5
Good location and the potential to be a perfect property with an attractive garden. But cleanliness was poor the carpets needed a good hoover and there was tar on the lounge floor which I believe originated on the balcony, and there was lots of dust around. The garden needed lots of attention, the lawn was mown during our stay but there was lots of weeds growing between slabs and along the borders. The balcony which had beautiful views was dirty I had to remove a dead bird and dog poo both of which had been there for some time. The balcony furniture was covered in cobwebs and two of the chairs were broken. The rail on the back stairs was broken but after reporting twice this was repaired.

Hi Julie, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, as you know, we have been in touch with you whilst you were away and since your return. We were very sorry to learn of the problems that you encountered during your stay and the local contact came out to assist you and make right some of the issues so that you could still enjoy your stay, including fixing the broken rail. The owner and the local contact are working hard to rectify everything else that couldn't be sorted during your stay, including replacing the broken chairs . We are pleased to hear you liked the location. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.
