Winkle cottage

Pleasant little property close to the main town. Parking is a major issue with very little parking close to the property on many occasions. Although a short walk from the main town the area is very steep and is not suitable for anyone not fit and able. The hosts of the property were very responsive with messages and accurate and slick at check in. We did however find the accommodation not a clean in arrival as some other properties we have stayed in. The fridge and freezer was not turned on for arrival and no simple cleaning products left for the start of the stay. We did enjoy our week we would choose this property again when booking for next years trip.

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location

We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to return. The cottage is in a great location with stunning views and is really comfortable with lovely decor. The host was very patient and helpful with the booking process, which I was even more grateful for when I saw what a lovely place we had to stay in.

Perfect gem

This beautifully presented holiday cottage was so clean and fresh I think we must have been the first people in. Everything you need for a comfortable stay from the large comfortable sofas and beds to the lovely rain shower and fluffy towels. The cottage has a small very well equipped kitchen, Large living room with smart telly etc, but for us the patio area overlooking the harbour with the sun all day long was the best. We would definitely like to return to winkle cottage again soon.

Fabulous house in a fabulous location!

Stayed for 1 week in April. Proximity to Brixham harbour is fantastic. We enjoyed strolls down to the front and along the coast in both directions. House is well equipped and decorated well. It was lovely to sit on the front terrace with a glass of wine and watch the world go by. The house is in a very peaceful location despite the closeness to town. We can highly recommend Liberty’s cocktail bar for a Pina Colada or two and their cakes are fab too. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Shoals restaurant whilst watching seals in the water. A fantastic stay - thank you!

Beautiful comfortable harbour cottage

Great cottage with fantastic sunrises and sunsets. Very comfortable lounge and bedrooms with an easy style throughout. Well considered holiday home in a fabulous location. Plenty to see and do and all from a great cottage that feels like a home from home. Would definitely recommend and revisit - Brixham has so much to offer from the engaging harbour to fantastic food and a beautical walks to coves and bays.

Charming period cottage - stunning views

This charming property which has been sympathetically restored, was clean, well maintained, had every convenience you could wish for in a home away from home. All the shops, cafes, bars and harbour attractions were within a short walk and the atmosphere in Brixham was most welcoming. We will be back and hope that Winkle cottage is available when we do, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great Property & Location - Fabulous Holiday

The Property is in a great location, just a short walk from the shops, restaurants and the sea. From the terrace you can see right over the harbour which is stunning at night with all the lights. The decor is modern and done to a high standard, all our needs for a relaxing break were catered for. The property is child friendly so no issues if you have little ones running around. It was clean and well maintained, we would highly recommend this property and happily send our friends & family there. We had a fab holiday *

We would definitely come back some other time!

The house is a newly renovated lovely cottage at Brixham's hill at the harbor. You have great views from the house across the harbor and the whole town, even across the bay to Torquay. The house is well equipped and comfortable. We stayed with four people, which was ideal. You have all comfort with smart TV (2), Bluetooth speakers and good wifi. The beds are really comfy and the house has been tastefully decorated. All shops and restaurants are close by. Be aware though in Brixham you always have to walk up and down the hills. You can drive up to the house. The upper part of North View Road gets quite narrow between houses and parked cars. We almost got stuck with our SUV. Better just back up the short bit to the house and then park in the wider streets above like Mount Road. There are always some parking spaces there and they are free. We really liked the cottage and would definitely come back some other time.

This Place Is Great!

This place is great. It's a short walk to the town/harbour (albeit on some steep steps!) which contains lots of great restaurants and pubs. It has been very recently refurbished and contains everything you need right down to a beautiful bottle opener from harrods! It was more than we could have asked and was ideal for us as a family with 2 small children. Brixham itself is a lovely town with a proper fishing industry at its core. The stand out feature for me was the unpretentious, fresh flavoursome and fishy food. Would definitely visit winkle cottage again.
