A fantastic weekend and we wil be back.🙂
We absolutely loved staying here. The property was clean and welcoming and had obviously been thoughtfully prepared for guests. It was a short walk to the harbour where there is plenty to do. We made a mistake with our booking dates and the owner was very understanding which I was very grateful for.

Very good location nowhere to park the car had to walk a while to get it.Other than that it was good
It was not the easiest of places to get to but as a 77 year old we gave it our best shot .
Loved our stay here. Property was clean and beautifully decorated. One long set of steps and you will pop out right at the harbour. The views were amazing. Didn’t want to leave.
Excellent property, walking distance to harbour and shops
We had a lovely short break, everything was as listed and we didn't want for anything. Great property and excellent location. Easy communication and check in. Property lovely and clean.
Lovely cottage. Beautifully furnished. Great position overlooking the harbour. Perfect few days away!

the property was well maintained and comfortable. It was late in the season however the upper garden needed the bushes and plants maintained as sitting in the evening sun would have been even more pleasurable.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Elkins cottage. They cottage was wonderfully clean and the location was beautiful. Just a short walk into Brixham.
It was lovely to relax with a glass of wine and watch the boats down at the harbour. We definitely recommend it to our family and friends.
We absolutely loved Anna's property, it was beautifully furnished, with amazing views out onto the harbour. Location was perfect, our only regret is that we did not stay longer! Anna was an excellent host, providing clear and accurate information and instructions with some suggestions on what to do in the local area. Would highly recommend!
Excellent, perfect very comfortable. Great location.
Will stay again

Fabulous location, character home
A small but perfectly formed cottage, great for a small family. Easy access to the centre, but need to be reasonably fit and able. The decor is immaculate and the views incredible. We did the coastal walk around Berry Head - 10km of views - with lunch on the way. Highly recommend a stay in this picturesque fishing port.
Beautifully presented property (very stylist decor!) conveniently located a few minutes walk from Brixham Harbour. Lovely sea view from the first and second floors of the accommodation. The house is on a steep hill and there is a steep staircase down to the harbour so unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.
Location is perfect for all that Brixham has to offer.
Lots of steps in the garden so not suitable for those with mobility issues otherwise a lovely place to stay!
Elkins Cottage is all you could wish for to enjoy a break in Brixham and experience a traditional fisherman’s house on the steep harbourside, with great views across the town, harbour and bay.
The house is very tastefully decorated and furnished, and well equipped, and the welcoming wine was much appreciated. We had family coming and going during our stay but even with six adults at capacity the accommodation was comfortable and hot water plentiful, although if heading out you may need an early start for bathroom rota.
Would highly recommend the property provided mobility around narrow roads by car and very steep steps into the town are not a concern, but proximity to the town is a massive plus. The quayside is just a few minutes walk away.
Thanks to Anna for a hugely enjoyable stay, and for all the communication and flexibility, particularly in the uncertain times of 2020 when staying at all was a major doubt.
Such a stylish cottage, great interior design and great location. So well equipped and considerately equipped. Loved the garden, has lots of potential to improve and especially enjoyed the evening views from the top terrace. Super-speedy, responsive and very helpful host.
Really lovely stay in a beautiful house. Convenient location near harbour. Good base for visiting Dartmouth, Torquay and Totnes. Easy to contact host. Highly recommend.

Why they chose this property
I love the location of Elkins Cottage situated high above Brixham Harbour giving great views across the bay to Torquay. It provides a great base for exploring South Devon and all it's wonderful amenities whether it's going into Exeter for some retail therapy or spending the day beachcombing to hiking across Dartmoor.
