Brixham English Family reunion

We had several properties including the one next door to you, and I have to say I liked yours the best as it accommodated the 4 of us perfectly and we had some room to all sit together as there were a total of 12 of us and 3 children but pent of room to sit and talk and get together with all. We will definitely try and get this property again as Sara was very accommodating and comunicative and I felt bad that I could not respond to you as the messages were coming in on my U.S. based phone but I could not get back to you through it. In any case we enjoyed the stay and we thank you for everything.

In an historic street close to the quayside, this cottage provides an atmospheric base for exploring Brixham. The host was very helpful. VRBO, as the booking platform could improve its procedures.

Fantastic Cottage in the Heart of Brixham

We loved staying here. It's just a few minutes walk to the quay and the property has amazing character with suprisngly large rooms. We have two young kids and we had to be wary of the steep stairs, however they loved exploring all the rooms. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect Brixham Cottage

We loved the quirky nature of Rose Cottage! Our young kids loved sleeping in their attic bedroom, and we enjoyed the coastal decor, well thought out furnishings and little touches - a thoughtful welcome basket for example. The stairs may not be ideal for more elderly visitors but they were no problem for us. And the location couldn’t be better - a stones throw from everything Brixham has to offer. It was our first visit to this lovely little town but I’m certain we’ll be back and we’d definitely look to stay here again. Lovely place, would recommend.

A lovely place to stay

This is a super, cosy cottage with great atmosphere. The kitchen may be small but it’s properly equipped (even a salad spinner) for cooks who want to enjoy Brixham’s excellent produce. Roll top bathtub is great after chilly walks. Lovely little outside space. Sara was a great host.

Quaint cottage

Booking and accessing property very efficient. Property has all you would need. Stairs are very steep as stated and caused a giggle when climbing them after a 4 mile cliff walk. Beds very comfortable. Although elder daughter managed to sleep in attic room it was quite a skill not on bump her head. Only negative was parking although we were told where there was free parking it was quite difficult to find and we ended up parking in central car park over night and trying again the next day. Driving around Brixham was quite a challenge but we knew that before we came. All in all a good time was had by all.

Lovely cosy cottage just as short walk from the town. Fantastic bathroom with walk in shower and roll top bath. Welcomed with some lovely biscuits and jams which were delicious! Lots of information left by the owners which was very helpful. If you love the Brixham fisherman’s cottages you will love this one.

Adorable Rose Cottage

Thoughtfully decorated, this cottage is bright, cheerful, and has a bathroom to die for. It was spotless, with crisp linens on the beds and a welcome basket of goodies on the table. Brixham town is steps away: dining, drinks, and coffee, where, if you’re early enough, you’ll get to mingle with the locals. The new Wine Loft is practically on your doorstep, with a clean modern look and a knowledgeable and engaging proprietor. While parking can seem daunting, Sara is right about dropping your bags at the door and venturing up the streets to higher ground. We found spots up near the local school, and we got in our stair workout to boot. Nothing but the highest marks for Rose Cottage and Brixham!

Sailing trip

Stayed for two nights in June while sailing from Darthaven Harbour. Found the cottage easily enough. Very happy to see a little pub two doors down. Cottage was immaculate inside and out. Plenty of choice for eating out in Brixham, and little shops for the essentials. Stairs and very steep but all the rooms are spacious. We would definitely book again.

Great cottage, shame about parking misinformation

The cottage itself is lovely, clean and well-appointed. We did not expect parking to be easy in Brixham, but as the amenities listed include "parking" we assumed that there must be a space somewhere behind the cottage. This was a big factor in our choosing this cottage, as we knew we had to drive around a lot to see friends. In fact there is no private parking associated with the cottage, and no public parking nearby.

Ideally placed near the harbour and a few doors away from a nice pub.

Lovely fishing town that is a good base to explore other resorts on Tor Bay. There are plenty of boat trips, steam trains and bus tours to go on. Dartmouth is a good place to visit on the steam train from Paignton or by ferry. There are some nice walks to Berry Head which has a really good cafe there or the other direction towards Churston and Broadsands. There was slight hiccup when we first got there because we were sent the wrong code, the patio area was overgrown and not an area that you would want sit, parking is also not easy which is free a couple of streets behind the cottage or you can use the pay & display car park but this would be expensive for a week. The pub nearby is really nice but doesn’t do food, there are plenty of places to eat at the harbour or if you want something a bit more special the Berry Head Hotel is nice. Plenty of amenities nearby shops, cafes etc. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Brixham.

Weekend Getaway

This cottage is both adorable and perfectly located to get about town. The place is very well maintained, extremely comfortable and has a warm homely feeling from the moment you walk in. I went to Dartmouth for the day and is was very easy to use the local transport to get there and back. I'd recommend staying here to anyone that is looking for a place in Devon.

Thank you for the perfect Christmas in your beautiful cottage. From the moment we stepped over the threshold we relaxed.
