    The decor was wonderfully unique and based on a Brighton theme. The room was perfectly prepare. Breakfast was excellent (!) with home made bread and the best mushrooms I have ever tasted. Coffee too was brilliant. Thank you!!

    We had a great weekend with nothing to dislike.

    Great location with perfect hosts whose attention to detail makes Brightham House a rare and wonderful find for those who venture to that corner of Devon. The breakfast was especially delicious too.

    That the breakfasts were difficult to finish. I can't really say that there is anything worth making an issue about! Less than 5/5 would be awful.

    Scott & Alistair are the ultimate hosts. They are welcoming and attentive. The service they provide is second to none, from the immense and tasty breakfasts, the honesty bar, and decor, to the immaculate bedrooms, quirky, clean and with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the 80s/90s music, the real individuality of the property, how close it is to most things in the South Hams, parking, gym, hot tub, the list of places to go by email...... wow!

    The Breakfast was 5* quality. The unique bar area was relaxing for a evening drink. Beautiful seating areas in side and out. Would definitely recommend this guest house.

    The breakfast was exceptional with a varied menu and lots of fresh homemade treats. The room was clean, cosy, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small but loved the shower. It's always good to have car parking. Alistair and Scott are great hosts and made us very welcome along with Lola and Poppy the family pooches.The dining room is beautifully decorated, the garden is lovely and we had a very relaxing stay. The whole house is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Marlborough is a good way out of Salcombe but a pleasant walk mostly downhill. However, we did catch the bus back up the hill! Overall, I would definitely recommend Brightman House for a relaxing break.
