This could be a lovely cottage however it is let down by how unclean it is, out of date and general state of things. It needs a good clean top to bottom & some home touches. Lounge chairs torn, bulbs not working, mirrors scratched & cant be used. The instructions to this property make it difficult to find. There are nicer properties in Brixham for Read moreyour money Hide

Small and cosy rooms, spreading over four floor. Very comfortable and lovely views across the harbour. The stairs were a challenge at times.

This cottage is ideal for those wishing to stay close to the harbour. As it's over 4 floors with no parking access is tricky. So I wouldn't recommend it for those with mobility issues or very young children. The property is well equipped with TV in all bedrooms as well as the lounge. And it also has great WiFi and a small Selection of games and DVDRead mores for those rainy days. Overall a very nice little place and we've stayed her twice now. And will no doubt book again for next year. Hide

Good location although not too easy to find. Nice views from top windows and balcony. Property is across 4 floors on a small spiral staircase so not suitable for those with mobility issues or those with very young children. Liked the property but could do with a very good deep clean!!

Nice cottage but like other people had commented lots of steps and quite hard to find house. I suppose it didnt help that there was scaffolding outside just down the step. Would have been nice to have a small welcome pack like tea, milk ect as we had driven 5 hrs and would have enjoyed a cuppa after our long journey. The weather was amazing and BriRead morexham was lovely. All in all had a lovely holiday Hide

Good location but little things let the cottage down. We were asked to strip the bedding before we left to give the cleaner more time for the turn around. Im sorry to say we didnt think the cottage was clean enough when we arrived. We had to wash the cutlery and doors were dirty.
