Guests say
Wrens Perch in Brixham is a well-regarded property with stunning harbour views, a hot tub, and high-quality accommodation.

The steep access and unique open-plan bedroom/bathroom layout are noted, while the garden and thoughtful touches from the host add to the charm.
The property is generally praised for its cleanliness, with most guests finding it spotless. However, one review mentioned finding areas missed by cleaning, which slightly impacted the overall impression but was quickly rectified by the guests themselves.
The location is highly praised for its views and proximity to local amenities. The steep walk to the harbour is noted, which may not be suitable for those with mobility issues, but it contributes to the property's charm and the stunning views.
Guests find the property comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, cosy living spaces, and comfortable beds. The unique open-plan bedroom/bathroom may not be to everyone's taste, but overall, the comfort level is high.

Gave us everything we wanted for a Christmas family holiday. It's elevated location gave stunning views of Brixham and the Torbay area. The hottub was well used despite 40 mph winds and below 10 degrees temps outside. The owner was easy to contact (not that we had problems, just needed to check on bank holiday bin collections). Parking for 2 cars (which is a blessing in Brixham!). The house is amazing from the decoration through to the electronic taps and effect lighting. Couldn't have asked for more.

One main reason we booked was because the property advertised it had 2 parking spaces, however as a recent review mentioned it was a struggle to get 1 car in the space, as the road is narrow and , the two houses opposite, each side had their cars overhanging, then the house opposite had a builder who parked across the space, which meant we had to find him to move his van so we could get in or out. Otherwise, it was parking in a nearby road 5 to 10 mins walk away The access to the centre and harbour was just a short steep walk down , Brixham still buzzing centre thankfully. Hot tub was lovely after a day out. Accommodation done to high standard, the open place bedroom/ bathroom was quirky! The downstairs shower was lovely. Lots to visit within easy distance.
