High Hopes, Harbour Location with Sea Views

Amazing view of the harbour and wonderful for people watching.

Signage on gate. A simple clear sign on the gate would have been helpful.

Beautiful views across the harbour

Access was difficult. Very steep narrow brick steps to squeeze down. No car access and difficult to find.

I have fallen in love with Brixham! Lovely town, lots of independent shops, plenty of restaurants and pubs, welcoming families. The locals are friendly and eccentric! Saw a few pirates when out and about! We had a lovely welcome gift on arrival. The property was lovely and clean and nicely presented.

The property needs money spent to fix the issues we encountered. Be cautious when staying with children. Not suitable if you struggle with mobility.

Very clean and great location

To many steps and on a hill. I’m disabled with a prosthetic leg. My fault as I don’t do enough research.

The location was great, right on the harbour. Great views. Comfy beds and pillows. We had all we needed in the kitchen to make Christmas lunch (except a freezer) Washing machine and dishwasher made life a little easier. It was very quiet at night, despite overlooking the harbour. Heating worked well (new windows would help it not have to work so hard!) All in all was a comfortable stay.

The directions to the property were useless, it said we could park outside to unload then move the car - we could if we were driving a tiny car, we weren't, our car didn't fit down the road. A simple what 3 words to the steps the other side of the property would have been much easier to unload. We found this after we'd lugged all of our luggage, Christmas presents, food etc up from the car park. Although the property was comfortable and clean enough (not spotless) it could do with a bit of attention, lots of scuff marks on walls, carpet on the stairs was grubby, the beading in the hallway on the floor was missing, the kitchen cupboards were tatty. The paint was coming away in the bath. - none of this affected our stay, it would have just looked a bit nicer and cared for. Unfortunately there was no freezer, staying over Christmas we could have really done with one, or at least known there wasn't one. The fridge did however freeze pretty much everything, except the ice-cream. Christmas lunch was delayed because we had to defrost the meat and veg. The entrance could do with a spruce up, it could look really nice if a bit of effort was put into it, and the front door was tatty. The towels, why are they so small? Would have been great for toddlers, but not adults!

Location was excellent

It would of been nice to have a set of Christmas lights up

The view was amazing and it gave us a wonderful and comfortable base in lovely Brixham. We loved the quirky entrance and feel it was a hidden gem.

There was everything we needed so it was all good.

Fabulous location and great views
