Guests say
Wrens Perch in Brixham is a beautifully presented cottage offering stunning harbour and sea views, a modern interior, and a fantastic hot tub. Guests consistently praise its well-equipped kitchen, stylish décor, and relaxing outdoor space. The property is within walking distance of the town and harbour, though the steep steps may challenge those with mobility issues. Parking is convenient for one car, with additional street parking nearby. While a few minor maintenance and cleanliness issues were noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a popular choice for families, dog owners, and those seeking a memorable coastal getaway.
Most guests found the property spotlessly clean and well maintained, though a small number reported missed areas such as behind the sofa and kitchen fittings. These were isolated incidents and did not detract significantly from the overall impression.
The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and proximity to Brixham harbour and town centre. The steep walk back from the harbour is frequently mentioned, but most guests found it manageable and part of the property's charm.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, with modern furnishings, comfy beds, and a cosy atmosphere. Some noted the open-plan bedroom/bathroom layout and lack of blackout blinds as minor drawbacks, but overall comfort was rated highly.
Facilities such as the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, garden, and parking are consistently praised. Occasional comments mentioned the breakfast bar seating arrangement and minor kitchenware issues, but these did not significantly impact enjoyment.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as a welcome bottle of wine and a detailed information pack. While these gestures are warmly received, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We had an amazing stay at Wrens Perch. The most beautiful view over the harbour and the hot tub was a great bonus. We will definitely book again !

This property and our holiday is a definite 5/5 the accommodation was amazing with harbour views from the front and sea views from the back. With the added bonus of a gorgeous hot tub. The house is modern and well furnished with comfortable beds, and the by folding doors were a lovely touch to let the sea breeze through during the hot weather. It is a short walk down some steps to the harbour with lots of lovely places to eat, drink and get shopping. We enjoyed this holiday so much we are coming back again next year.

Absolutely stunning views from a wonderful property that is as comfortable as it is chic. The design and finish is subtle and thoughtfully executed and the hot tub is a cool addition to. You need to be fit to get up and down from the harbour but it is worth it and always a pleasure to return to such a fantastic perch. Can’t wait to return.
