Guests say
Pilgrims Cottage in Brixham is a charming, characterful property with stunning harbour views and a superb location close to the town centre and amenities. Guests consistently praise its cosy atmosphere, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The cottage’s quirky features, such as steep, narrow stairs and low ceilings, add to its historic charm but may not suit those with mobility issues. Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, and the cottage is well suited for a relaxing break. While parking can be challenging and some furnishings could benefit from updating, the overall experience is highly positive.
Multiple reviews mention the cottage being very clean, with one guest specifically noting how spotless everything was. Only one review mentioned it was 'largely clean', suggesting a high but not perfect standard.
The location is repeatedly described as excellent, superb, and convenient, with easy access to the harbour, shops, and restaurants. The only negative is the lack of nearby parking, but this is outweighed by the prime setting.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, with several positive mentions of a relaxing atmosphere. Some note the stairs and low ceilings may be challenging for those with mobility issues, and a few suggest updates to furniture and pillows.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and has all essentials for a self-catering stay. Some minor suggestions include larger pans and updates to certain furnishings, but overall facilities are praised.
Guests appreciated clear instructions, reminder notes, and attention to detail. While no gifts were mentioned, the thoughtful touches such as information on WiFi and local amenities were valued. Please note that gifts are not guaranteed.

Pilgrim cottage is just lovely. Not for anyone who struggles with steps or stairs but, you are made fully aware of this before you book. It’s a proper fisherman’s cottage. The stairs add to its character. It was clean & comfortable. Had everything we needed. Location is great & the view from sitting room is lovely all across the harbour. We would book again.

Lovely cosy, quirky, well equipped cottage in my favourite part of Brixham, all of my childhood holidays in the '70's were in Compas cottage which is next door. The cottage has everything you need and the view from the upstairs sitting room is just perfect but note that the stairs could be tricky if you're not as agile as you used to be, though this is common in old Brixham cottages! I would definitely book Pilgrims again for my next visit to Brixham.
