This quirky character holiday accommodation suited us down to the ground, a little out of town but still walkable. Very comfortable with everything thing we needed for a pleasant stay.Spacious bedrooms with plenty of living space for 5 adults. WiFi worked well, large 'yarden' for sitting out in the evening if you were staying in, also no problem drying washing outside and private parking which is a must in Brixham.Thanks Katrina for a lovely holiday 😊

The cottage was a long walk uphill from all amenities and harbour,it also had a distinct’musty’ smell.On the plus side it was well equipped and the king size beds were very comfortable.The outside garden was very shabby with no lighting at the rear or front of the cottage.
