Guests say
Wrens Perch in Brixham is a well-regarded holiday cottage, praised for its stunning harbour views, high-quality accommodation, and cosy atmosphere, even during inclement weather. The hot tub is a recurring highlight, and the property's location is appreciated for its proximity to local amenities. Some concerns about parking and garden safety for pets are noted, but overall, guests enjoy their stays and the property's charm.
Most guests found Wrens Perch to be clean and well-maintained, though one review mentioned finding areas that were overlooked, including behind the sofa and in the kitchen. This was quickly rectified by the guests themselves, but it did impact their initial impression.
The property's location is generally praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local shops and the harbour. However, some guests mentioned the steep walk back from the harbour and the challenges of narrow roads for parking, which slightly affected the score.
Guests consistently describe the property as comfortable, with a 'home from home' feel and a quality that is 'amazing'. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort level, making it a relaxing place to stay.
Facilities at Wrens Perch are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and lovely outdoor area. However, some guests encountered minor maintenance issues, such as a small TV and damaged kitchenware, which suggests room for improvement.
The host's thoughtfulness is highlighted by guests, with mentions of a welcome bottle of wine and prompt responses to issues. While such gestures are warmly received, it's important to note that these personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

One main reason we booked was because the property advertised it had 2 parking spaces, however as a recent review mentioned it was a struggle to get 1 car in the space, as the road is narrow and , the two houses opposite, each side had their cars overhanging, then the house opposite had a builder who parked across the space, which meant we had to find him to move his van so we could get in or out. Otherwise, it was parking in a nearby road 5 to 10 mins walk away The access to the centre and harbour was just a short steep walk down , Brixham still buzzing centre thankfully. Hot tub was lovely after a day out. Accommodation done to high standard, the open place bedroom/ bathroom was quirky! The downstairs shower was lovely. Lots to visit within easy distance.

Third time lucky for us to get to this property as originally booked 2020. It was well worth the wait as the property is fabulous.The quality throughout this property is amazing and it as everything you could possible want… like a home from home. Fur babies loved it too. Location is good and with off road parking is a bonus with the tight lanes so close to the harbour. I would say and I know others have the steps down to and back from the harbour are steep. I mean steep! Even though it rained and we had 60mph gale force winds for most of our stay the property made it cozy to sit and watch from the lounge. Managed to get in the hot tub inbetween the rain was super relaxing.The owner is lovely too.
