Excellent accommodation and ideal base for exploring the area. 10/10

However, we are in our 70's and would have liked some handles to aid getting in and out of the shower. We did find it difficult to sleep there due to the property being on the corner of a very busy crossroads with traffic lights and a pedestrian crossing made it very noisy from 5am to past midnight. Maybe some sound proofing would help.

Very clean & comfortable. Everything you need, location great as only 10 mins walk into Brixham. Only 2 tiny niggles - the front door mortise lock is difficult to open & lock so we were worried about breaking the key & the upstair flooring is really creaky when trying to walk around or walking to bathroom at night. Apart from that itâs a real lovely property & well worth staying there.
