Just had a lovely week in Brixham, staying at Gemstone Cottage. Slept very well and the lounge was very comfy. The cottage was very well equipped if you wanted to cook. If not there were plenty of places to eat out. Had the best fish and chips at David’s Chippy. Beautiful cooked Indian meal at Indian Thai. Both very reasonable priced. Had a few beers at the Old Market House pub. Being able to have a parking space outside where you were staying was premium and Brixham right on your doorstep. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful cottage well situsted for walking in go brixham.But after making a phone call when booking the cottage to query parking i was informed there was a place for two cars but on arriving you only have one parking space also the two rugs in the lounge had to be folded up as they moved when you stepped on them. But would go back and stay again
