Our second perfect stay. Such a beautiful location, I don’t think we will ever tire of it. The apartment is warm and cosy and extremely comfortable. Brilliant restaurants and fabulous local walks. We will definitely be back.
Thank you Ian and Liz for being such welcoming hosts.

Thank you for the personal greeting, letting us arrive early and the little extras. Appreciated that the flat was warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean.
In Brixham we enjoyed the live music at the Blue Anchor, food at Olive and La Petite Maison.
Out and about the walk up to the Berry Head peninsular had lovely views with breakfast in the café a plus!
Finally we would recommend a trip to the NT Art Deco house and gardens at Coleton Fishacre.

We’ve had the most wonderful stay in your beautiful apartment. Absolutely love Brixham, everything about this place is idyllic.
Its made us realise we shall leave our home ground of London and retreat here…
Thank you for taking the time to show us in and share all your great tips.
Thank you so much.

Easily the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. Loved all the little extras (especially the prosecco and the gift under the tree!). Such a lovely apartment – very comfy. Appreciated the nautical decor and how well equipped the place is. Will certainly recommend to family and friends. Thank you for everything! We hope to return.

We can only repeat what everyone else has said, we had a wonderful Christmas break in Fisherman’s Loft. The apartment is cosy, warm and well appointed. The situation and views are fantastic (many photographs sent to envious friends!). Ian and Liz are the perfect hosts, very thoughtful and helpful, the Christmas tree (complete with a personal present) was a lovely touch. We managed to sample most of Ian’s (well researched I imagine) recommendations!

We have had the most wonderful stay in your fantastic apartment. You have thought of absolutely everything we could need. The level of detail was extremely high making our stay extremely comfortable.
It was lovely to meet you when we arrived and we made use of lots of the information you gave us about Brixham.
Thank you so much for the lovely “extras” that you provided. A very generous touch.
We would definitely return and would highly recommend to family and friends.
Marry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks Ian and Liz. Its been 6 years (Dec 18) since we first came to your wonderful apartment, lost count of how many times we have returned.
As you know we love Brixham and knowing we are coming back to your place we know we will feel at home as soon as we walk in the door. With all the extras you never fail to impress.
Happy Christmas, see you in the new year.
Love from

Once again the perfect stay, perfect apartment and perfect hosts. Many thanks for the welcoming treats, much appreciated. Week started well with the fireworks display, weather turned out not as bad as forecast, so enjoyed the walking and lovely eateries, looking forward to our next visit.

We have really enjoyed our week in Brixham.
It was a great start to the week as the sky was blue on arrival. It was beyond our expectations, the apartment is in a fabulous location and is very comfortable with everything that is needed. The treats and greeting on arrival were a lovely touch.
Loved all the fresh fish available both in the fish shops and restaurants. We ate in Shoals and it was just perfect!! Curious Kitchen does the best brunch and the most amazing bread!
Dartmouth festival was buzzy and we got the boat to Ditisham. The coastal path walks to Berry Head and Paignton were challenging but great.
All in all an amazing week and will defo return.
Thank you!

We have had a wonderful, relaxing long weekend which was exactly what we needed.
A massive thank you to you both for your lovely apartment. Perfect views and such lovely thoughts re: treats when we arrived.
The views were wonderful – we could have sat and watched the world go by all weekend (but didn’t!).
A couple of coastal walks and so much to wander and see in Brixham. This was not our first time here which shows how super it is.
Many thanks

Our first trip to Brixham for 5 years and our first stay here, and it has been a fantastic few days. This is a really lovely apartment in the perfect location, the views are stunning! All comforts provide for and the arrival treats were a very nice touch. Thanks to Ian and Liz for being great hosts.
We have eaten incredibly well this week and would recommend everywhere we have tried: Rockfish, La Petite Maison (for both dinner and brunch) and At Thai. A cracking crab sandwich from Claws on the quayside. Also a lovely friendly café, not sure of the name but has bright yellow frontage: walk up to the Birdcage, turn left and you’ll see it. Does a good breakfast and full of locals, always a good sign.
A mixed week of Devon weather but we’ve enjoyed every minute, walked for miles and explored nearby Paignton and Dartmouth too. Wanna come back in the summer and try the lido! Hopefully one day we will. . .
Best wishes

A fabulous time was had at One Fisherman’s Loft.
The apartment contained everything we needed and the arrival extras were a lovely touch.
This has been our first break of the year coming off a small holding in the midlands, this has been my first sea view of the year and what a view from the windows we have had.
Everything in Brixham has been lovely, the weather, the people and the food.
I have had a memorable birthday, my sea and seafood fix achieved.
Hoping for a return visit soon.
Warmest regards

Our third visit and we ticked all the boxes for a brilliant Brixham break:
- Ate some amazing fish and seafood – highlight was Olive’s ‘sofishticated’ tasting menu and matched wines (and Rockfish).
- Saw Sammy the seal.
- Won £10 on a scratch card (spent it 5 minutes later in Brixham’s lovely shops).
- Walked to Berry Head (loaded jam and cream scones in backpack).
- Had brunch at the Curious Kitchen . . . . very tasty, drinks at the New Quay Inn and Sunday lunch carvery at the Bell Inn . . . recommend the home-made rum and raisin ice cream.
- Stayed at One Fisherman’s Loft!
Thank you for everything Ian and Liz – we loved it.

Our second visit to your lovely apartment and every bit as good as the first.
We love that we are able to park our car and not use it again until departure. Buses are able to take you to most places – we made good use of those.
We had a lovely walk to Berry Head and great breakfast at the Guardhouse Cafe overlooking the sea. We would recommend eating at La Petite Maison and Crusoes – different in style but exceptional food and service.
Sadly its our last morning. We are sitting at the open window overlooking the harbour with a cup of coffee watching Brixham wake up. Hope to see you again soon.

We haven’t travelled far, but Brixham is another world. We love it here and visit every year.
This apartment was a first for us and well, just wow. From the communication beforehand, to the welcome, the treats and the accommodation itself, everything was perfect. Thank you both.
We may well see you again!

We have had another wonderful holiday (No. 6!) in your lovely, spotless apartment. You have maintained your very high standards yet again! Thanks for providing everything we could possibly need, and more. Thanks for all the little extras and treats too. Weather has been changeable but we’ve had a good rest and a great time. Take care.

Dear Liz, dear Ian
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Your apartment is fully equipped and you are hosts that also think about the small things which make life easier.
We felt like being at home in a tasteful environment.
Certainly we will try to come back as soon as possible.
cheers, Astrid and Andreas

Our second stay in your lovely apartment.
Everything was great, our week coincided with the air show, we had a fantastic view of all 9 Red Arrows in formation from the window.
Thanks for all the welcoming extras and the use of the parking space meant we were able to forget the car and use the buses.
Thanks once more for all the effort you put in to ensure your guests have a good stay.
Thank you

Our stay at One Fisherman’s Loft was truly wonderful.
We were made to feel welcome even before we arrived. We were met at the door by Ian, a true gentleman, who carried my bag up the stairs – thank you!
A spacious, clean, comfortable apartment in the perfect location, with town just outside the door, and a truly amazing view. And can’t forget to mention all those things to get us settled in: scones, cream, jam, tea (and there was coffee too), milk, crisps, chocolates and prosecco – cheers! Even a scratch ticket for each of us, though no luck. But we did have a win with the weather.
Sorry we’ll miss the Pirate Festival, although not sure how we would have squeezed in anymore fun. Brixham is wonderful.
Thank you! Ann and Kevin from Seattle.
Helen and Jason
28 – 31 March 2024
What a lovely, clean comfortable apartment.
Thank you for the added extras. Hosts Ian and Liz were very welcoming and informative. just the place we needed to unwind and chill for a few days and with that view that wasn’t difficult! Right in the middle of the action if and when needed too.
Thank you again for making our first stay so enjoyable . . . Do we really have to leave??!!
Look forward to our next visit.

A beautiful apartment in the most excellent location overlooking the harbour. What a find! Everything here that you could wish for.
Thank you Ian and Liz for being such wonderful hosts. We received the most warm and friendly welcome at the door and help with our luggage to the apartment. The Loft is so well equipped and the extra touches made our stay extra special. Thank you so much for the chocolate eggs, prosecco and the cream scones were delicious. The bed was so comfortable and the towels were lush! Everything has been thought of and we loved all the local artwork around the place (so much so we were inspired to buy some from the local art shop to take home). We enjoyed a Mexican themed dinner at the Berry Head Hotel (recommended by our hosts) and tried some locally caught fish in the fantastic restaurants in town. Greenway was a great day out and the ferry across to Dartmouth was splendid.
We have had a brilliant time celebrating my birthday and Ian and Liz’s hospitality and beautiful facilities at the Loft made everything perfect!
We hope to be back in the summer and would very much love to stay here again.

Yet another wonderful stay. Have lost count how many times it is now. After a busy and stressful few weeks only one place to come for a restful break away – your apartment! We feel so relaxed from the moment we step through the door and with all your little extras no better place to be.
Thanks Liz and Ian
See you again soon.
Joel and Caroline
14 – 19 February 2024
Yet another fantastic stay, our 4th time back to One Fisherman’s Loft.
The apartment was as perfect as it was the first time we stayed, and this time we even won on a scratch card!!
In addition to our usual “jaunts” (Berry Head, Torquay, Paignton) we found time to at last visit The Wine Loft, which was a very enjoyable experience.
Thank you Ian and Liz, see you again next time!
Joel and Caroline

Booked last minute – Ian and Liz fantastic hosts, making the whole experience smooth and easy to organise. Weather bitterly cold (although dry!) but apartment really cosy and warm.
Gorgeous view, everything you’d want in the apartment plus more! Thanks for lovely prosecco, scones etc. Much appreciated. Love to be back.

We’ve had a fabulous time in Brixham despite the rainy weather.
No 1 Fisherman’s Loft gets a 10 star rating from us. Its a beautiful, comfortable apartment well equipped with a perfect location. All the little extra goodies made us feel very welcome.

What a fabulous, fully equipped modern apartment!
We really appreciated the welcome gifts, and so nice to have the allocated parking space so close to the apartment, which meant we could just park the car and enjoy our holiday.
So lovely to have so many restaurants, bars and shops on the doorstep.
The highlight of our stay was the Paignton to Dartmouth steam train and passenger ferry trip.
We had a lovely relaxing break, thank you.

Returning back to Fisherman’s Loft after our first visit 6 years ago was fantastic, and less traumatic than the first visit when I broke my ankle the week before! The charm of Brixham remains timeless, just like the warm hospitality we experienced the first time round. Thank you for the wonderful memories and the delightful treats. Looking forward to our next visit!

Once again another wonderful week in Brixham, in your amazing apartment. Many thanks for all the treats, always appreciated. Two wins on the scratchcards and added bonus, paid for the ice cream! So lucky with the weather this week, hot and sunny every day. No sign of Sammy the seal, or his friend, this year, but perhaps next year…….
Thanks again, kind regards

26 August – 1 September 2023
After hearing my parents rave about their stays here I thought I would also try a stay here, and what a lovely stay it was.
Ian was a true gentleman, meeting me on arrival and carrying my bags upstairs. The apartment is gorgeous, a home away from home.
All the lovely touches, cream tea, sweets, prosecco, scratch card were a lovely touch and most appreciated.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Barry and I were so excited to return to Brixham and stay in your beautiful apartment. Our last visit around Easter time was cold, so we wanted to see Brixham in the summer season. The weather has been hit and miss but did not stop us having a great time.
Thank you Liz and Ian xx
Take care of each other.

19 – 26 May 2023
Normally we never go to the same place twice but we enjoyed the apartment and Brixham so much we could not resist! Found lots of new things to do – new parts of the coast path, beware Kingswear to Brixham – it’s a toughy, got the ferry (lower) to Dartmouth both as passengers and car – more coast path and lovely shops, finally got to eat at Shoals (well worth it, monkfish curry and view a must) and they had fixed the Shoalstone pool just in time for us to have a swim in it. Also managed to find time to do things we loved last time. Weather fab again, the loft faultless.
Thank you both xx

Our third visit to Fisherman’s Loft and it never fails to excite us with its homely comforts and beautiful views. Ian and Liz are the perfect hosts and always meet us with a smile, giving lots of hints and tips on the best places to visit. On their recommendation we booked a table at “At Thai” for our last evening, and my goodness this was the best Thai meal we have ever experienced. It was delicious!!
We also walked out to Berry Head and had breakfast at the Guardhouse, something we do on every visit, and this too is highly recommended.
Many thanks Ian and Liz
See you again….
Julie and Steve
23 – 26 February 2023

First visit to Brixham and what a great little apartment is One Fisherman’s Loft! Located in a primary position right next to the harbour, close to shops and bars with great views of the Golden Hind and all of the harbour. Thank you Liz and Ian for meeting us on arrival and providing us with goodies to start our holiday and also advising us of parking arrangements and places to visit/walk.
Will definitely visit again.

Thank you 🙂

We have been to Brixham many times over the years, but this is our first time staying more than a day.
We could not have chosen a more idyllic place to stay in than “Fisherman’s Loft”. Your attention to detail, to give pleasure, comfort and hospitality is above the 10 star rating given by booking.com 🙂
A big “thank you” to you both.
Lorraine and Alan
18 – 23 September 2023
Our third visit to Brixham, and there will be many, many more, this most definitely is our ‘happy place’.

29 July – 5 August 2022
Our second stay here and it was even better than the first! A £10 win on the scratchcard, fabulous goodies and superb weather. Brixham locals are so friendly and we even got invited out to dinner at a locals house. We’ve hardly used the car and enjoyed the coastal path walk to Paignton, ferry to Torquay and Dartmouth. It’s a beautiful part of the world, and we’ll be back.
Thanks Ian and Liz
Julie and Martin
10 – 15 June 2022
Our first visit to Brixham and it definitely will not be the last, we enjoyed every minute of it, we were recommended by a family member and we definitely weren’t disappointed.
Many thanks to Liz and Ian for letting us use your lovely apartment, we felt so at home as soon as we walked through the door.
It has everything we could possibly need, so relaxing and not used the car at all. All the little treats were very much appreciated. Look forward to returning soon.

Brixham has given us a lovely break. So much to see and do. The bus service is amazing along with the boat trips. We cannot wait to revisit.
Thank you Ian and Liz, your apartment is just perfect. So homely and kept to a very high standard. We both really appreciate all the loving extra gifts that were left around the apartment, our own little treasure hunt!
Looking forward to our return visit.
Look after yourselves.

Thank you so much Liz and Ian for the use of your lovely apartment. All the extra touches (nautical decorations and gorgeous pics) make it very special. You are great hosts and from the initial telephone call, apartment meeting and extended parking place use we would highly recommend you 🙂
Loved the cream tea/fizz welcome and the other goodies too!
Bill and Trudie
18 – 21 February 2022
Ian and Liz, thank you so much for all you did to make our stay incredible. Right from the start by calling us and letting us come down the night before so that we would not be driving when Eunice hit.
Then all the extras, prosecco, cream scones, crisps etc., they all made our stay in Brixham extra special. We will certainly be back and recommend to friends and family.
Thank you once again for making our 29th wedding anniversary a memorable one.
See you again in the very near future.

We thought this place looked like a little gem – how incorrect, it is more like the Koh-i-Noor diamond! Everything is perfect, every little detail is covered and much more added to it. For us, in desperate need of a break it was wonderful and we will be back as soon as possible for more R and R.
Our hosts Ian and Liz are exceptional too, they have made the apartment so comfortable, it doesn’t matter about the weather, just chill.
Quay57, the restaurant two doors away was excellent, food brilliant and the staff attentive and helpful.
Words cannot express the quality of this place, see you again very soon …..
Lyn and Peter
17 – 21 October 2021
Eventually got here for our 3rd (long overdue) stay at your lovely apartment!! We really missed last years visit to our “bolthole”!!
Sadly for the first time the weather hasn’t been so kind to us – but its not stopped us getting out and about.
Was so nice to bump into you both for a catch up and glad to hear you’re all settled in your “new” home!!
Look forward to returning again next year, despite all the uncertainty etc. it was so lovely to return here knowing you’d both of taken every care and attention.
Thanks so much.

9 – 16 October 2021
It has been a while since we had a holiday with just the 2 of us and this week did not disappoint. From the friendly welcome, despite us turning up early, all the thoughtful gifts and treats, much enjoyed and we won £2!!, the beautiful spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment with a view we never tired of, the long walks along the SW Coast Path, ferry ride to Torquay, sitting by the harbour watching the comings and goings, the amazing weather, evening drinks in our sun trap at The Prince William, cocktails at Liberty’s, great meals out wherever we ate, to just having time together enjoying Brixham.
Thanks you Liz and Ian for making it possible.

Yet another wonderful week in your clean and comfortable apartment. Thanks again for the sweet treats, always appreciated. A mixed bag of weather conditions this week, but didn’t stop us from exploring glorious Brixham.

Thank you both so much for the lovely welcome and all of the little gifts and special little touches placed kindly around on arrival……
Second time staying here for one of us, couldn’t wait to come back, will definitely be back again!
Such a perfectly situated apartment with the most stunning views (could never get tired of them) and everything you could need for the most comfortable self-catering stay!
Shops, restaurants, pubs, harbour, beach, beautiful walks and so much more right on the doorstep …. Amazing!
Thank you xx
Jane and Trevor
21 – 28 May 2021
Well it took 2 cancellations because of COVID but we finally got here! What a lovely apartment, views to die for. Loads to see and do. We so enjoyed our week just chilling, trying all the coffee shops and meals out. The “Chart Room” became our favourite coffee shop, so unusual, cakes and scones fabulous!! We look forward to our return visit in September and reacquainting ourselves with Liz and Ian – a lovely couple.
Lorraine and Alan
14 – 19 December 2020
A wonderful stay in this beautiful flat.
Thank you Liz and Ian, all those extra little touches too made for a fabulous welcome from you both.
Your recommendations for walks and eating out were spot on. Highly recommend the coastal path walk, both ways, fab views and scenery.
Superb food in The Prince William and Beamers and Simply Fish for a cracking take-away.
Overall, fabulous town, amazing and friendly people, what more could we want and need.
Will definitely be back.
Love and best wishes and a Merry Xmas to you xx

Another wonderful holiday in your lovely apartment.
Everything we needed is provided and spotlessly clean as before. So fortunate to have hot sunny days all week, so plenty of walking, and the seals came to see us as a bonus! Many thanks to you both – a week in Brixham was just what we needed. Hope to return next year.
Kind regards and thanks again.
Annette and Steve
5 – 12 September 2020
We have had a lovely week, we enjoyed the ‘extras’. Thank you for the well equipped and comfortable apartment. We couldn’t have wished for a better location to explore Torbay!
We definitely made the most of the local eateries. We were lucky we had pre-booked at most, which meant we were lucky enough to sample some great food! We would recommend Beamers (fantastic food and wine!), Simply Fish (you have to try the fish curry and chips!) and for a treat the Curious Kitchen (great breakfast).
We also enjoyed the sunset cruise with fish and chips from Rockfish. We used this as a great base and went on trips to Kingswear, Dartmouth, Torquay and Paignton by bus, boat and steam train!
P.S. We also made a couple of trips to Liberty Cocktail bar 🙂
P.P.S. Ate at Rockfish on last night – recommended!
David and June
16 – 28 August 2020
Thank you once again for a lovely stay.
Everything was fine and thank you for all the extras. It was a lovely safe environment to relax for a couple of weeks – lots of boat trips – fishing twice (caught and cooked lots!) wildlife safari, Dartmouth and Torquay and lots of lovely local walks – especially Berry Head.
Thank you once more for the wonderful apartment.
May God bless you and all you provide a “home from home” for here.

Dear Ian and Liz
Well …. We’ve had the most amazing time!!!
This really was the tonic we both needed this year.
The pictures of 1 Fisherman’s Loft plus the area sold it to us but our stay was even better than anticipated.
A beautiful place to stay, and beautifully decorated, with every need catered for (above and beyond) …
Thank you for the lovely touches which made us feel so well looked after … The cream tea, sweets, lottery cards etc!
How kind and thoughtful of you, and really appreciated.
Such a comfortable place to stay with the most amazing/breathless views which you could never tire of.
We have enjoyed every minute of being inside and out, and exploring more of Brixham. Thank you for being so welcoming …
We will definitely be back.

Well… What a beautiful place and fabulous accommodation. The apartment is so welcoming…. and has everything you need for a relaxing break. All you need is a toothbrush! Our first time in Brixham and Fisherman’s Loft, will not be our last.

A fantastic place in a perfect location with the best view!
The personal welcome was so helpful and all the little thoughtful touches helped our stay go so smoothly (the welcome treats and the “Treasure Box”).
We feel quite at home and can’t recommend it highly enough. Joanne likes to be prepared for any eventuality but Ian and Liz had already covered all the bases. We have greatly enjoyed their company also – a truly delightful stay! Thank you both!
Vincent and Joanne
We loved our stay and meeting you both. Hope to see you again xxx

Great welcome from Liz and Ian on arrival, very grateful for the help to “the loft” lovely extras very appreciated and enjoyed.
Great location although quite noisy early mornings with cars (assume from the port) and deliveries for the pubs and restaurants.
Views are terrific, nice walks close by and great places to eat/takeaway.
Enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Blown in by Storm Dennis and found this ‘Gem’ in the heart of Brixham.
Liz and Ian make this such a cozy warm home from home and all of their special touches went down a treat – cream teas and scratch cards – NO WINNERS but always next time!
Can’t wait to get back here again.
P.S. Try Rockfish if you want a great gluten free meal 5 Stars

Dear Liz and Ian
We can only reiterate the lovely reviews/comments left by your previous guests. Your apartment is a delightful place to stay with its may ‘extras’ making us feel so welcome. Thank you. The weather has not been quite so kind to us, however this has not prevented us from enjoying our break in Brixham and we hope to return again.
Peter had ‘the best fish and chips ever’ at Simply Fish today!
The people of Brixham have also been lovely and we would of course recommend ‘Fisherman’s Loft’ to others.
Thank you again.
Kindest regards
Maxine and Peter

28 December 2019 – 1 January 2020
Thank you Ian and Liz for another wonderful stay.
Your apartment is perfect for a comfortable break and your attention to detail is second to none. We have enjoyed our walks even seeing dolphins at Berry Head and seals in the harbour. We had a lovely meal at The Lytehouse restaurant and fish and chips at Simply Fish to die for! “Happy New Year”.
Jon and Lisa
28 November – 2 December 2019
Ian and Liz – thank you for another fantastic break. You keep pushing the standard higher and higher! Great to see Brixham evolving with more new restaurants and bars. We tried Noi’s for the first time – excellent food, and the brand new Miguel’s Tapas bar which was also great. See you again soon.
Thanks

Fabulous flat, fabulous location and view, well worth the 250 mile drive. We’ve had a lovely stay, it really is like home from home with everything you could possibly need provided. The attention to detail is simply amazing. The extras, prosecco, scones etc. were a lovely surprise and very much appreciated.
Thanks Ian and Liz, we hope to be back 🙂
Tony and Julie
13 – 16 November 2019
First time staying in an apartment instead of a hotel, you have set the bar extremely high, you have thought of everything, including xtra touches (which we’ve most enjoyed).
The apartment is immaculate, the location can’t be beat.
Brixham is lovely, as were both of you.
Will return next year, thank you.
Zbig and Sara
9 – 10 November 2019
You want a view of the harbour, be next to pubs, shops and the centre of Brixham? This is the place. Liz and Ian, you have gone the extra mile with what you provide. Possibly the best self-catering we have encountered.
The wedding was great and we now have more family in Brixham so will be back!
Thank you x.
Geoff and Linda
21 – 24 October 2019
Never expected such a warm welcome at a self catering booking. You really do make people feel relaxed and happy that they have chosen Fisherman’s Loft for their holiday. You provide over and above what is the norm and we would like to thank you both for that. We have had a great few days and would be quite happy to spend a lot more time here. The goodies you leave are a very nice touch and we won £13 on the scratchcards ‘great’. Very friendly people in Brixham. Thank you Geoff and Linda.
Cal and Mac
11 – 14 October 2019
Thank you again Ian and Liz for having us back for our 4th visit. We just love your apartment and feel more at home every time we come. The first time we arrived loaded with bags only to find you have provided everything for us (this is not usual for self catering). Now we arrive with half the bags. Gold stars all round. Had a lovely break. See you soon.
Love Cal and Mac xx
Bill and Denise
24 September – 1 October 2019
The apartment lives up to all the great reviews. It is a lovely place to stay. Thank you both for everything. We have enjoyed a good week, largely car free, making use of the good bus services. Walked some of the South West Coast Path and visited National Trust Properties. A small suggestion is for a potato peeler.
Lyn and Peter
14 – 17 September 2019
2nd stay at your beautiful apartment lovely to see you both again!!
We’ve been blessed with beautiful weather and not used the car once!
We’ve done lots of walking and used boat power!!
Lucky to see the seals two evenings whilst out walking too.
Look forward to returning for a 3rd stay at this wonderful “bolt hole”!!
Love Lyn and Pete xx
Sue and Gary
7 – 14 September 2019
A huge ‘Thank You’ to you both for a wonderful week in your spotless apartment. From welcoming us and helping with our luggage, to providing us with hints and tips for restaurants and trips around the lovely Brixham harbour. There is all we needed, and more, here and we have had an amazing holiday with great weather. We could not have asked for more! Hope to be back again, many thanks for everything x
P.S! Car park space invaluable and the goodies a sweet touch.
David and Michelle (on Honeymoon!)
29 July – 3 August 2019
We had such a lovely time in Brixham.
Your apartment is beautiful and very tastefully decorated.
Ian and Liz are so welcoming and go the extra mile from helping with luggage to recommending places to eat and places to go and explore.
The apartment is the best we have stayed in and the attention to detail is second to none. Ian and Liz have thought of everything and then some!
Thank you and we will see you again soon!
Best wishes, Michelle and David
Caroline and Richard
26 – 29 July 2019
Thank you so much for such a lovely, well equipped, well placed, gorgeous apartment, and the great welcome gifts which made my birthday even more special when we arrived. Your hospitality and attention to detail, such as the extra items in the bathroom, and your help with carrying our cases up, together with the useful information on how to get here made for a wonderful visit. Thanks again.
Clive and Wendy
19 – 22 June 2019
What can we say?
Perfect location, spotlessly clean, beautifully setup and equipped with everything you could possibly need.
Brixham has so much to offer and feels very welcoming, we loved the walks, the fresh sea air, the food, the coffee …. the list goes on!
Thank you so much for your hospitality! 🙂
Mike and Lynn
28 – 31 May 2019
If you are lucky enough to stay here
You know that you will find
Everything you could possibly need
And hosts that are so kind
The towels are soft and fluffy
There’s bubbles and treats galore
There’s tips and recommendations
For places to explore
You can find a pub to call your own
Take a ferry around the shore
But you’ll need a 5am alarm
For the fab fish market tour
You can walk around the coastline
Have drinks at Berry Head
Dinner at Shoals or Lytehouse
Or watch the harbour from your bed
You’ll have much fun in Brixham
Whatever you choose to do
We were lucky enough to stay here
Ian and Liz …. Thank You!
Jon and Lisa
25 – 28 May 2019
Thanks Ian and Liz for maintaining such an exceptional level. Our 5th visit was just as good as the first. The welcome makes us feel instantly relaxed.
Recommend Shoals and Breakwater Bistro very highly. This time we tried brunch at the Curious Kitchen – lovely.
Look forward to seeing you again as we will definitely be back for number 6.
Thanks, Jon and Lisa.
Dave and Tina
18 – 25 May 2019
Our second visit and just as good as last year – even the weather surpassed itself.
Thank you Ian and Liz, this holiday home is the best we have occupied in 47 years of self-catering – it is brilliant and thank you for all the goodies.
It was great re-visiting Brixham and finding places not already explored. Would highly recommend travelling to Torquay by ferry and visiting The Living Coast, well worth a visit.
Also Quay 57 – the fish kebabs are brilliant.
Again, thank you.
Caroline and Mark
11 – 18 May 2019
A lovely week in this lovely apartment for the second time.
Lovely welcome from Liz and Ian, great base for exploring Brixham and beyond and we even got to see Sammy the seal (and his friends) by the breakwater.
Recommend: Breakwater Bistro for lunch or dinner walk up the breakwater to the lighthouse, also Quay 57 next door.
Marg and Rob
7 – 11 May 2019
We have had a relaxing few days.
Thursday we went on the bus to Totnes and had an enjoyable day there, we found a nice pub for lunch and today its been sunny. The other things we are wanting to visit we hope to do in July. thank you both for our stay in your fabulous apartment.
This is our 7th visit!!

We cannot recommend you highly enough and will definitely be back.
Much love and thanks

We came here on two recommendations and have been blown away by the wonderfulness of the apartment. From the meet-on-arrival, to the knowledge you have of the local area, the treats in the apartment and everything else in between, you are both exemplary hosts – thank you.
We know we will be back again!
All the best

Thank you Ian and LIz, last minute weekend break.
What a fantastic apartment, cosy, clean, quirky and just felt so warm and inviting. The personal touches plus all the accessories, you name it you have thought of it. You have thought of everything, so glad I choose Brixham, its been a wonderful mini break. We went to Paignton Zoo, Berry Head, the pub you recommended and ate at Berry Head bistro and cafe and Beamers, both lovely food and great staff. You really have done an amazing job and should be very proud of what you have achieved to give us the perfect break. And of course the personal meet and greet was an extra lovely touch too.
All our thanks
Karen and Mark xx
Cal and Mac
22 – 25 March 2019
Our 3rd stay here in 4 months which should say it all. There is nothing at all Ian and Liz could do to make it any better. They have got everything just right and with all the extras, milk, tea, coffee, sugar, cream tea, bubbly, your holiday starts as soon as you walk through the door.
Thank you again Ian and Liz you really do know how to do things right.
See you again soon.

Thank you Ian and Liz for a wonderful stay in your fabulous apartment.

Once again thank you.

7 – 10 March 2019
What a lovely weekend. The apartment was perfect and Ian and Liz are wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Their thoughtful touches from helping carry bags to the cream tea and fizz were great.
Hate to leave but can’t wait to get home to tell friends and family about this fantastic place.
Mags and Stuart
26 February – 2 March 2019
What a fantastic gem of a place. Completely worthy of a 10/10 on review. Very comfy and ouzes quality.
Ian and Liz thank you for our welcome and Stuarts birthday gifts, very much appreciated and so thoughtful.
The apartment One Fisherman’s Loft is fabulous, you have thought of everything to make our stay so enjoyable. We tried some of your many recommendations – bought an explorer ticket and visited Kingswear -> Dartmouth, ferry to Totnes, bus to Paignton and back to Brixham staying a few hours in each resort. Also tried Prince William for carvery – very nice, The Bullers, The Manor Pub again nice and Nick’s fish and chips.
We have had a wonderful time that started with great hosts – we will definitely be back.
Thank you x
Sue and Dave
19 – 24 February 2019
We concur with everything written before regarding the apartment and hosts – 10/10.
– Restaurants – Breakwater Bistro great for breakfast and lunch with a view. The Cowshed was very good too (alley opposite Prince William Statue).
– Places to see, Coleton Fishacre, home of the D’Oyly Cartes, was excellent. Paignton easily accessible via the #12 bus service, but don’t bother, pretty depressing place.
– Walks – South towards Berry Head and on to Shakham point. Lovely views and about 5-6 mile round trip.
Northwards along coastal path to Broadsands is also worth it. Again about 5-6 miles.
– Great butchers on Fore Street and fishmongers opposite market square (on way to apartment parking place).
Brixham really is a wonderful place to stay and One Fisherman’s Loft a wonderful apartment.
Cal and Mac
8 – 11 February 2019
Ian and Liz
We are back again for another stay in your wonderful apartment. A more relaxing one than in Dec. So spent more time in the apartment taking it easy which is not hard to do as it has such a homely feel especially with a cuppa and a cream tea.
Just love staying here a big 5 stars yet again.
See you again next month. Thanks again.

Thank you for making our ‘Happy Place’ even better. There is not much to tell us about Brixham as we come here so often. But your apartment is by far the best we have stayed in. There is nothing you have not thought of. It is absolutely spotless and all the little extras. You meeting us at the door helping us with our bags, cream tea, prosecco, milk, treats.
But the icing on the cake has to be the christmas tree.
Thank you we will be back!!

Thought our previous stay was the romance of our wedding that made our stay here so magical.
However having shared our 1st anniversary at your beautiful home has proved it is the simplicity and “PERFECTION” of the loft that made our stay worthwhile.
Yes there may be bigger places but yours is by far the best in our hearts.
I do love your policy of stay and pay twice get the 3rd stay free! See you soon 🙂 x
Thank you for being you! The bubbles and treats you guys are as beautiful as your home!!
Michele, Mark and Amie
23 – 25 November 2018
Well what can we say. This is our second stay here and it was just as fabulous as the first time.
Very thoughtful touches make it very welcoming and the apartment is everything you could ask for with such a beautiful view.
Visited Lupton House Christmas Fair which was just lovely followed by Brixham’s Lights and Illuminations. Had lovely meals at Shoals and Quay 57 both thoroughly enjoyable.
Thank you so much Liz and Ian.
Love, Michele, Mark and Amie

Thank you Ian and Liz for a fab apartment.
The accommodation has everything you need, a real home from home. 🙂
Brixham is a lovely place, the views from your apartment are brilliant.
We loved the extra touches, the wine, sweets, extra mile you have taken.
We will certainly be recommending you to friends and we would visit you again.
Thank you very much (we also got to see Sammy the seal).

This place is an absolute credit to you Liz and Ian.
We loved staying here, you have made a very homely and inviting place.

All I really want to say is thank you Ian and Liz.
You certainly deserve all the compliments heaped upon you. We really enjoyed staying in the flat and all the lovely people in the town of Brixham. This visit I (Carole) experienced the Fish Market tour with the amazing Barry and all the other great personalities at that venue. Do go and have a chat with Jake at the veg shop near the Co-op. A young man with many great ideas and lovely fresh veg. Simply Fish fish and chip shop lovely happy plaice.
Caroline and Mark
4 – 7 October 2018
Lovely apartment, great welcome by Ian and Liz, very thoughtful touches from the scones to the lottery cards and sweets. Great base to explore Brixham, we will be back to this lovely place.
Recommend:
On The Rocks – great chicken wings and steak.
Liberty for a cocktail.
JR’s Pirate Cove for fish and the lovely cosy Manor pub at the top.
Carol and Howard
29 September – 2 October 2018
Thank you Ian for the welcome and particularly well done for single handedly cleaning the apartment in record time so we could move in early! Liz should be proud of you!
The apartment is one of the best we have stayed in, so tastefully furnished and clean, and we will certainly recommend it to all our contacts.
Hope to come back.
Richard and Boze
14 – 17 September 2018
Thank you Ian and Liz for a fabulous apartment right in the heart of Brixham.
Beautiful views of the harbour, perfectly located and with parking! The accommodation is faultless, beautifully clean, everything you could possibly want, not to mention all the ‘extra goodies’. Thanks also for the recommendations, have had some splendid meals while we’ve been here.
Would definitely come again.
Thank you again, Rich and Boze.

What a lovely home away from home. Everything you could possibly need and want has been thought out and provided for. Brixham and the surrounding area are beautiful, we very much enjoyed our walks to Berry Head and a stop off at Berry Head hotel is a must. We also recommend Simply Fish for fish n chips and The Curious Kitchen for breakfast. We’ve had such a lovely time here we just wish we had planned to stay longer. Hope to be back again soon!
Louise and Andy
25 August – 1 September 2018
Thank you Ian and Liz, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your lovely, well equipped apartment. Everything we could of wished for was here, you have thought of supplying anything we might need!
For the first year, I swam most days in the Shoalstone outdoor pool – I don’t know why I haven’t used it before, once in it is really enjoyable. Andy found various scenic routes for running and enjoyed a bit of fishing – many thanks.
Vicky and Andy
4 – 11 August 2018
A huge THANK YOU to our hosts Liz and Ian – we can’t say anything different to anyone else – you are the perfect hosts. The accommodation is fantastic – you have thought of everything and more! The little touches also make the stay even more special. Loved the scones, prosecco and scratch cards (unfortunately we didn’t win!). Brixham is a stunning place and really appreciated the recommendations from Liz and Ian – The Manor Pub is a definite must – the perfect local. Other places we would recommend are the Lytehouse, Peppershack and Rockfish. Loved the walks too – some gorgeous quiet coves to relax in. We have had a fantastic holiday and Fisherman’s Loft has played an enormous part in it. Thank you.
Anne and Colin
23 – 28 July 2018
Ditto to all of the above comments. Brixham and surroundings has been just as lovely as we remembered it and 1 Fisherman’s Loft is the proverbial ‘icing on the cake’ (with added prosecco etc. etc!). We will remember this exceptional hot summer not just for the weather (which may be the norm of the future) but for our week as guests in this exceptional apartment.
We may well return at some point but, meanwhile, we must thank Liz and Ian for their lovely welcome and all round attention to detail and care.
Many thanks!!
Alison and Jason, Stoke on Trent, Staffs
18 – 23 July 2018
Thank you Liz and Ian for being such amazing hosts. You could not wish to be greeted by a more lovely couple. The apartment is amazing with wonderful views, it has been lovely to sit in the window and watch the world go by. The loft is so well equipped, there is nothing you could want for. The little touches make such a special difference, we will be returning soon.
Thank you for making our holiday so special. xxx
Andrew and Sandra – Stratford Upon Avon
15 – 18 July 2018
WOW – What a break.
First to be greeted by Ian and Liz, who truly are amazing hosts. Helped with bags, and shown round the wonderful apartment, which is spotless, cozy and very homely.
Ian and Liz have provided everything you could possibly need, all the little extras are just brill.
Their knowledge about the area was great and we have eaten in some lovely restaurants (probably eaten too much), and apart from the odd shower the weather has been fantastic. Only down note , fish market tour was fully booked, but we will be back!!
Fen and Pete – Stone, Staffs
Great holiday again thanks to our hosts. We have not wanted for anything.
Can not thank you enough for the ‘Fish and Chip Cruise’ tickets. It was a wonderful night and hope its on next year when we come down, if so ‘tickets please!’.
Looking forward to seeing you in April.
Best wishes to both.

Marg and Rob – Chippenham
28 June – 1 July 2018
This is our return visit and nice to see Ian and Liz once again, who do so much to make your stay enjoyable.
We have has amazing weather which was very hot, almost too hot (for us anyway). So we haven’t been too energetic.
Thank you for all the treats . We will be back again soon.
Take care.
Marg and Rob xx
Deborah and Gary – Edinburgh
Thanks for the treats! We have had a brilliant time.
Greenway is a good day out. Shoals at the Lido served amazing food with a view (ask for a window seat) and had a lovely meal sitting outside the Berry Head Hotel. The Goan fish curry made by the Goan chef ‘Canon’ was delicious!
Thanks very much – you are great hosts.
D and G
John and Ros – Kidderminster
20 – 23 June 2018
Thank you Liz and Ian.
The flat is perfect – spotless and super comfy.
It was lovely to get all of your welcoming treats, so thoughtful. Wonderful weather as promised! We visited Agatha Christie’s Greenway – very beautiful and very interesting.
A trip on the river at Dartmouth was also great value with a sighting of Britain’s maritime new aircraft carrier out at sea. Brilliant food at ‘On The Rocks’ and ‘Rockfish’. Thank you so much – we can’t wait to return.

Fiona and David – Newbury
17 – 20 June 2018
Ian and Liz, you are such great hosts, you have provided the perfect place to stay, with all the lovely extras. We love the fantastic views, your local pictures and nautical themes.
The bed is comfy and the towels are lush, you really have thought of everything to make our stay special. This is the best place to base yourself to explore Brixham and beyond, which we have started but will be back again to explore more.
Til then, thank you.

Karren and Mark – Andover, Hampshire
14 – 17 June 2018
What can we say that hasn’t been already? Your apartment is brilliantly located, your attention to detail second to none – all the extras make our stay extra special, all the recommendations are spot on (although we didn’t get to try them all!). The ‘Guardhouse Best’ breakfast sarnies were particularly good as was the fish at “Shoals”. Fish and chips from “Nicks” on the harbour front was also good. We hopped on the ferry to torquay (£3 return) and the fudge shop (Rolys) near the ferry port is amazing (Gin and Lemon fudge etc!!).
The trawler race was a little soggy in the morning but otherwise a lovely weekend away, we’ll be back. Many thanks.
Karren and Mark
Bakery and cheese shop also worth a visit!
Lyn and Peter
10 – 14 June 2018
Thank you so much Liz and Ian – we have had a wonderful stay in your apartment. You have thought of everything! Your attention to detail is second to none, the little ‘extras’ are so thoughtful. But where you shine through is your thoughtfulness to meet us, helping with luggage etc. We’ve never known of that before!! This has been a wonderful return to Brixham for us after a very very long break – we certainly won’t leave it so long next time!! We look forward to staying here again many many thanks!

Disclosure: We are neither relatives, friends, friends of friends of “Mine Hosts” Liz and Ian.
Hence following report is totally unbiased, no incentives have been offered/accepted!!!
As frequent worldwide travellers since retiring over 17 years ago we have stayed in many apartments – One Fisherman’s Loft rates in our “Top 3”.
“Location, Location, Location” as per real estate parlance, magnificent view over Brixham harbour.
Convenient to transport, shops, pubs, restaurants etc. Comfortable, well appointed.
“Mine Hosts” Liz and Ian:
#One, the best we have had the pleasure of meeting. You two are the measure to which all others should aspire, awesome! (or oarsome in nautical parlance!). e.g. :
“Goodies” on arrival, “Treasure Chest”, box of adaptor plugs, puzzles/games for rainy days. WIFI – free, stable/reliable/fast.
Local knowledge such as dining out/sightseeing/public transport etc.
Reference book is exceptionally well laid out, informative – covers everything you need to know . . . . and some. Going above and beyond the call of duty: Meet and greet at front door – helped us with 2 heavy suitcases, 2 cabin bags, several supermarket bags (we’re on the road for more than 2 months). Nuff said!!
6 Star – Property and Hosts
Overall Rating: 11/10 (that is not a mistake)
Value for money: Excellent
Would we stay here again: Absolutely!

A wonderful stay in a beautiful apartment. So well equipped with thoughtful touches. Luxurious linen and towels made us so comfortable.

What can we say that is different to everyone else – this is a brilliant apartment, ideally located with everything and more you could want.
Thank you Ian and Liz for not only all the goodies but the wonderful welcome.
We’ve loved every minute of this week – all the brilliant fish meals not to mention Liberty’s great cocktails and great evening entertainment. We could easily live down here although our livers might not feel the same.
It was a brilliant week and we will be back.
Thank you so much.
Mike and Lynn – Surrey
8 – 11 May 2018
A beautiful apartment that is in the best location in Brixham. Everything you could ever want is here and beautifully done.
Thank you to Ian and Liz for the warm welcome, the wonderful extra gifts and for some great recommendations.
We loved walking to Berry Head and to Churston Cove. Had a great crab sandwich at the Crown and Anchor and lovely meals at ‘On The Rocks’ and ‘Simply Fish Bistro’. Also recommend the fish market tour with breakfast at Rockfish.
We will return.
Thank you 🙂
Wendy and Steve – Romford, Essex
4 – 7 May 2018
Many many thanks Liz and Ian for letting us stay once again at the beautiful loft.
Everything was perfect, same as last year, and what with the unbelievable weather for the bank holiday weekend, and a town full of pirates having fun, it has been a wonderful repeat experience.
Thanks once again for all the little extras and see you next year.
Ooooh Arrrgh!!
Bryony and Martin
2 – 4 May 2018
Wow what an amazing apartment!
We loved our little stay in Brixham and will definitely be back for longer next time. Thanks for the recommendation of Shoals – beautiful place! And Liberties – loved the cocktails 🙂
Thanks Ian and Liz for making our first visit to Brixham a lovely and enjoyable one and we loved all the little added gifts in the apartment!
We will no doubt be back 🙂

A lovely few days here. Location is wonderful and the apartment is well kitted out with everything we could wish for. Thank you for all the extra touches.
We enjoyed the cafes and eateries especially the Breakwater Bistro – reasonably priced fresh food and the best and the best fish and chips at Simply Fish.
Hope to return some time soon!
Thank you.
Marg and Rob
22 – 24 April 2018
Its lovely to return to Liz and Ian’s apartment for a short stay for Rob’s birthday. We have been a few times now and its always great to come back.
Thanks to Liz and Ian for all the extras, they are such a lovely couple.
We saw the seal this morning on our walk to Fishcombe which was very exciting.
See you again soon.

Dave and Sue – Barry
19 – 22 April 2018
Regarding our hosts and their property there’s nothing new we can add. Both absolutely faultless. We followed Liz and Ian’s food and drink rec’s too.
– Shoals is first class fish restaurant.
– Breakwater Bistro – lovely for food, or just drinks, plus cracking views.
– Claws Indoors does lovely smoked salmon and scrambled breakfast with bucks fizz!
– Rockfish is OK but the family run eateries are better.
– New Quay Inn friendly and decent beer.
– Simply Fish takeaway – Simply the best.
We’ll be back to check out the rest another time.

Absolutely stunning apartment. We were here for our silver wedding anniversary after initially coming here (Brixham) for our honeymoon in 1993.
Fisherman’s Loft was the most perfect place to stay – perfect location and Ian and Liz were wonderful hosts leaving lots of treats for us and such a well equipped bathroom/kitchen.
Thank you so much for letting us stay in Fisherman’s Loft. We didn’t want to leave!
Vanessa and Tony
12 – 15 April 2018
What a beautiful apartment and gorgeous place.
We have had a super time here in Brixham and at Fisherman’s Loft.
Thank you so much for the “extra goodies”, what a lovely touch.
We definitely will be coming back here and wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
The apartment is so clean and pretty you couldn’t ask for more and meeting us so late Liz. Thank you once again.

We have had an amazing time staying in this beautiful apartment (so much so we have bought a house further along the coast!!).
All the “extras” you supply makes this place very special and you should be very proud of the service you offer.
The view is mesmerizing, but we have to go home.
Big thank you.

We have enjoyed our time here in Brixham thanks to you both making us feel comfortable and welcome.
Ian and Liz made excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat.
We will both be recommending this beautiful apartment and hosts to all our friends.
Love Kristy and Dips

We have fallen in love with Brixham it is a shame we couldn’t have stayed longer. We have been on some lovely walks – we caught the ferry to Torquay and walked back along the coastal path.
Thank you Ian and Liz for letting us share your lovely apartment. We had a lovely welcome from you and the lovely treats you left us were an added bonus. It is true what other guests have said you think of everything to make the stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
We hope to return again soon.
Thank you again.

A delightful stay in a home from home atmosphere created by your marvellous attention to detail. Your warm welcome and care from delicious scones with clotted cream on arrival to the bright, cheerful and comfortable surroundings in the apartment made our stay in blizzard conditions as much fun as it could have been in sunny weather.
Thank you. We could not have had better hosts or a better holiday.

We have had the most relaxing stay in the most superb location. Ian and Liz have definitely thought of everything, from keeping the flat immaculate, to all the necessities that one would need whilst away from home. You are incredible hosts and the welcome gifts were very thoughtful. All your recommendations have been very useful and we have managed to venture out plenty despite the unlucky rain!
We hope to be back again and have already got parents coming in September!
Thanks again for everything!

We have stayed in many self catering apartments, flats and cottages – and so far, have never found a place so well equipped with so many thoughtful touches.
Your helpful welcome was very much appreciated and despite the ‘arctic’ weather we certainly enjoyed our stay in your cosy apartment. Hope you enjoyed your fish and chips! We did!
Thanks for everything.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay in your apartment. The level of detail was incredible and you had thought of everything we could possibly need. The welcome goodies were so nice too.
We have had a great stay in Brixham and thank you for the recommendations on the pies at the Golden Lion and The Manor!
Thank you Ian and Liz!

What can we possibly say, that has not been said already?
A wonderful apartment and we’ve had a lovely stay in Brixham.
One very tiny disappointment (and not with the apartment!) is that some of the attractions we hoped to visit were closed at this time of year, despite being “advertised” as “all year round”. Never mind – we’ll have to return!
Thank you very much.

Firstly, what great hosts you have been. Contacting me to see what my travel arrangements were and then meeting me at the bus stop to deliver me safely to the apartment.
The apartment itself is beautiful with fantastic views! Decorated to a very high standard and kitted out with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay – plus the extra lovely treats!
You are very warm, friendly and personable people and I wish you every luck with what seems to be a thriving apartment let business.
I will be writing a very positive review on TripAdvisor because you have gone ‘above and beyond’ all expectations. Hope to return again some day.

Wow . . . What a wonderful apartment in such a beautiful location. A fantastic welcome from Ian and Liz who explained all about the local attractions.
Highly recommend an early morning walk out to Berry Head and breakfast at the Gate House Cafe which was superb and reasonably priced.
The apartment has everything you could possibly need; is warm and welcoming, and the views are outstanding.
The ‘goodies’ left for our arrival were very much appreciated; and all the little necessities are also catered for should you forget anything (as I did!).
We will most definitely be returning!!!

Thank you for a wonderful stay – been hassle free. Very warm welcome with some generous goodies upon arrival. The apartment has been fantastic with needing nothing and Brixham being everything we were hoping for. Will be recommending highly.
Amazing time, thank you and Happy New Year.

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely apartment, the previous reviews say it all. You have thought of everything to make your guests as comfortable as possible.
This is our 7th or 8th stay in Brixham but this has been the best accommodation we have been in.
Thank you very much for all the goodies you left for us.
Love Jenny and Mick Avery
“Happy New Year” xx
