    “The property was just so beautiful, wonderful views of the harbour from both the 1st and 2nd floors. A stones throw from the harbour, all of the restaurants, pubs and shops. Brixham was just unspoilt and perfect for a weekend break or holiday....”

    “The house was situated in the heart of the harbour with great views. It had all the things required for a short stay and was comfortable and clean. A nice little place to relax in the evenings after days out.”
