Wonderful holiday

We had a fantastic holiday in Brixham. The flat was lovely and full of character, the hosts were wonderful and were always around to help with anything and answer any questions. The location is brilliant, we found so much to explore all within walking distance of the flat. We hope to return again next year, and would highly recommend the flat for a wonderful holiday.

Perfect. We loved it!

Everything about our stay was great. Jacqui and David were so helpful with all their communications and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The milk, tea, coffee and wine were such a nice gesture too. The location was perfect, directly opposite the harbour with a side view of the water and boats, with shops, cafes, walks and views, all moments away. We stayed with our 8 year old daughter and felt there was plenty of room for us all. We would love to come again!

Absolutely wonderful

My daughter has asked me to post her experience on her behalf. The property was fabulous and even better in real life, and a real home from home “feel” about it. The location was perfect for walking directly into the harbour and town. The “wheel house” gave her a perfect holiday, thank you so very much xxx

Cosy home away from home

As soon as we walked into the Wheelhouse it felt familiar, even though we'd never stayed there before. Such a cosy, sweet little flat that feels like a cottage. With the location being right at the end of the shops in the harbour, it is perfect. It's only a five minute walk to the bus stop, perfect if like us you don't drive, or indeed would rather park your car and utilise the buses (which are so regular you can pretty much always walk straight onto one). I've been to Brixham many, many times since I was a child and adore it there. Staying right in the harbour and feeling at home just make it even better. The place was spotless, and plenty of room for a week or two. Well stocked kitchen, and even plenty of hand wash, toilet rolls and even a bottle of wine upon arrival. I would say that if you have mobility issues then it may not be the best place to stay. The steps outside to get up the the property are a little steep, even with the handrail. And getting in and out of the bath for a shower feels a little perilous with nothing to hold onto! We are certainly planning on staying again, can't wait to go back!

Its fishtown ok

The property itself was great spotless and the owners were loveley BUT having really bad walking difficulties I found the description of the "few steps which aren't very steep", a bit misleading to say the least 39 steps is 30 too many for anyone with walking difficulties we had to leave my wheelchair in the car in the carpark which was a ten minute walk away

First of all thank you for taking the time to write a review. When you said you had a walking problem you never mentioned a wheelchair, (we have had 2 before) .,we would have suggested a flat on the level if we had known and you did mention to David that you may like to come back at a future date. We are sorry if you were disappointed in any way. Jacqui & David.

We have just spent a lovely week in the ground floor flat in the fisherman's cottage. The flat was very clean and tidy and had everything you could possibly need for a week away. It is perfectly situated by the harbour, so easy to explore the town and has some great walks close by. You are also spoilt for choice with lots of cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance.
