  Absolutely fabulous!

  Stunning views of the English Riviera, beautiful sunsets, very comfortable, Brixham a very picturesque town. We were a party of 6, and the house was plenty big enough. The house is very well equipped and the owners included some lovely touches. They Includied a hair dryer, torches in each room and a set of binoculars, spare batteries in the kitchen, biscuits, fudge, milk, tea and coffee , everything needed for cleaning, washing up and laundry, toiletries in the bathroom. The house is 5-10 mins walk downhill from the harbour, the lovely breakwater beach, and the town. There are 2 co-ops and a Tesco Express in the town as well as many places to eat. Beware, walking up is not so easy, the walk back up is Very steep- may be difficult if you have knee problems or mobility issues. ( you could always drive though, as there are a number if car parks) On Thursday mornings you can book a sea kayak adventure at the kayak club for £15, there are also free lifeboat tours in the harbour. Our teens had a fantastic 3 hour paddle boarding session for £20 with grenville house. We very much enjoyed crabbing in the harbour and our visit to the golden hind museum boat. Our teens took the ferry from torquay to brixham and it cost £2 each and took 20 mins- quicker than driving and cheaper than parking. Fantastic holiday. Would definately recommend.

  We really loved this property and booked it as it was convenient for visiting a family member and his family who live in Brixham and were only about 5 minutes away by car.

  The property itself was very clean and tidy and it had everything you would need for your stay whether it be a long weekend, a week or even 2 weeks. It had everything you would need regarding utensils for cooking your own food if that was your intention during your stay. The bedrooms and the beds were very clean and comfortable and there was a great view from the front bedroom window and there was even binoculars sitting in the front bedroom to take in the view from the bedroom window. There was a lovely little touch in the dining room of a bottle of wine, which we did leave untouched, and a small box of shortbread biscuits and a small box of fudge, which we did eat. We did hire a car for our visit to Brixham and it was great that we were able to park it in off the road in the parking area at the front of the house. Overall there is absolutely nothing negative we could say about this property as everything was prefect for us and we would certainly stay here again.

  The Nook was a beautifully presented cottage with lots of traditional features and modern touches.

  The welcome pack was much appreciated after a long drive, thankyou. It was close to the town centre and a great base for a week's holiday. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate at home several evenings. A couple of points worth noting: The traffic lights are two cars length from the front door and awaiting cars can be heard clearly as the front door opens directly into the pavement. The road can be noisy. The instructions state no parties and be considerate neighbours but the neighbour to our left was not so considerate and partied onto 4:00am on the first Monday, so much so we had to change rooms. The detail of the cottage includes woodburning stove and starter pack. This is not accurate. It is a gas fire. The cottage is centrally heated so we didn't need to use it, but it is misleading. That being said we had a great week and enjoyed our stay in Brixham.

  Had a lovely 5 nights at Avalon although there’s room for improvement. Pros; Off road parking, good size bungalow, location good, well equipped. Cons; Garden not suitable for our 2 year old to play in which is a shame as it was wasted space. Bungalow not cleaned well enough. Skirting boards/edges of carpet dusty. Had to move a bedside table for my sons monitor which clearly hadn’t been moved for a very long time. Crumbs in utensil drawer. Requested high chair upon booking - Took me half hour to find it (under a single bed) and was thick of dust which I don’t think is acceptable. Luckily there was a hoover in one of the cupboards so had to use that before wiping it clean to be able to use. Shower is very small and leaky/noisy/not very powerful. Husband is quite broad and struggled to fit in. This being said, would stay again dependant on price, but cleaning needs improvement.

  We stayed here from the 7th to the 14th July and loved every minute.

  The views are amazing, we spent every night and morning sat at the window upstairs looking down at the harbour, the binoculars were a great touch. The house was spacious, cosy and had everything we needed and more, the owners left us toiletries, cleaning products and treats, we were so grateful , my husband and I both said its the best holiday home we have stayed in, the house has WiFi which was great for us to book our days out whilst on holiday, the bed was so comfy , we both slept amazingly and our teenage son loved his stay too, it's such an added bonus to have off road parking too. The location is perfect, just down the steps and a 5 minute walk you're at the harbour, Brixham is beautiful and we can't praise the house and owners enough. Thank you for enabling us to have the best holiday and we hope to return
