Guests say
Samphire in Brixham is a spacious, well-equipped cottage with stunning views and a lovely garden, making it ideal for families and groups. Guests praise its cleanliness, comfort, and proximity to the town centre, with private parking being a notable bonus. The property is split over three floors, so there are steep stairs and steps to consider, especially for those with mobility concerns. While most found the facilities excellent, some noted small kitchen appliances and a lack of a welcome pack or detailed information. Overall, guests enjoyed their stay and would happily return.
Multiple reviews mention the property being spotlessly clean and well maintained, with no significant complaints about cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its views and easy access to Brixham town centre, though guests note the steep steps and hills may be challenging for some.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as spacious, comfortable, and well suited for families and groups, with plenty of space and relaxing views.
The property is well equipped and recently upgraded, but some guests found the fridge, freezer, and dishwasher too small for larger groups. Issues with stairgates, bathroom privacy, and minor maintenance were also mentioned.
Several guests noted the absence of a welcome pack and limited information on appliances and local amenities. No gifts were mentioned, and communication with the owner was sometimes slow.
