Great property, great location
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.

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.

Relaxing stay at Elkins cottage
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!

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.

Stylist decor and great harbour views
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.

Perfect to experience Brixham
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.
