Older property with great location to several coastal areas

Average stay. Found lighting poor especially in living room. Unaware location was above a store. Musty smell indicating damp within the structure. Best point was access to other areas via boat and bus.

Family holiday

The location and the property were great. Everything you need is there in the property for a great stay. The location is fantastic as you are near all the shops and restaurants it's just a short walk to the harbour. You can also visit local places and there is a car parking space which is fantastic as the parking can be a nightmare and costly. Overall we would definitely stay there again.

Great holiday in a lovely cottage

The property was just as described, very quirky with more than enough space for our family which consisted of family of four plus grandparents, the location was spot on for all Brixham has to offer with no large hills or many steps to encounter to get to the harbour, a lovely pub (The Manor) was also situated just behind the property. Would recommend the property to all age groups. Fantastic time had by all of us!

Upper Cottage Brixham....a wonderful cottage on the coast in a beautiful part of Devon

Upper Cottage Brixham is the place you want to stay in for your relaxing holiday whether it's summer, winter, autumn or spring. My family and I spent the whole month of December 2018 at the cottage and couldn't have been happier. A home away from home and the position could not have been more perfect. Rosalie has thought of everything and the cottage was warm and cosy. One word of warning for those who have a problem with stairs, there are steep stairs leading up to the lounge room from the front door and another lot of spiral stairs leading from the lounge to the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. We loved the whole Brixham experience and will never forget our wonderful time there. Beth from Australia

Great flat, excellent location, brilliant owner. Loved it!

The whole experience from booking, arrival, our stay and liaison with the owner was five star. The flat was perfect for our family; 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Very well equipped. The location is ideal for walks (long and short), pubs, convenience stores, shopping, fishing, crabbing, etc. Or just chilling in the flat. The owner Rosalie was very quick to respond to our correspondence, very helpful with any questions we had and just generally all you require and more from an owner. Thanks Rosalie and looking forward to returning soon.

Convenient and well-equipped

Brixham is a quaint fishing village with lots of bars, cafés and independent shops. It was great for just wandering round and watching the world go by, as well as taking longer walks along the coast. The accommodation was perfectly situated, right in the centre a few metres from the harbour, equipped with everything you need for a short break.

Very well equipped & cosy

Sweet cottage and very central to Brixham. Well equipped and cosy. Parking is available in the harbour in a dedicated space about 5 mins walk away and down the hill. Our only small problem was the boiler was "switched off" (according to the boiler man) so we had no heating or hot water other than from the electric shower on the first night and had to wait in the following morning to let the boiler man in - luckily not for too long and the weather was warm. But it was an unexpected inconvenience none-the-less.

Christmas break

We stayed in Upper Cottage over the Christmas holidays. It is a lovely cosy cottage with plenty of facilities to make it a comfortable home from home. When going out for the day, you can look forward to returning to the cottage to relax in the well equipped and comfy sitting room and prepare meals in the adequate kitchen. It is very centrally situated in Brixham - but it being Christmas obviously most of the shops were closed as well as the restaurants so we did go to Paignton and Torquay to get supplies.

Great holiday , lots to do and see. Beautiful walks , shops, restaurants aplenty.

Upper cottage has everything you could possibly need , a real home from home . Eat out some nights but was lovely to go to the local butchers and cook in some evenings. Brixham is a beautiful part of the world , 6 of us visited with 3 generations and we all loved it .
