Everything about Fishlegs was excellent with the exception of very soft beds ( we didn’t use the attic room so cannot comment) and furniture that was fat too low for comfort. The kitchen and bathroom were very well equipped. This was a shame as we had a lovely week and were well supported by the lovely owners. The quality of the restaurants in Brixham was exceptional. Brixham is also a fantastic base for exploring, particularly the boats to both Torquay and Dartmouth.

Quirky house with stange furniture. Bed in top bedroom uncomfortable , the top stares are not for the infirm .Although it was clean and tidy it could do with a fan or two as it was very hot .Location is very good but, no parking, we had to walk about half a mile to a council carpark to park the car each night £55 for the week.Seagulls will wake you up very early .
