Guests say
Wrens Perch in Brixham is a beautifully presented cottage with stunning harbour and sea views, modern décor, and a well-equipped kitchen. Guests consistently praise the hot tub, garden, and proximity to the town centre, though note the steep walk and challenging parking. The property is comfortable and stylish, with thoughtful touches from the host. While a few minor maintenance and cleanliness issues were mentioned, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a popular choice for relaxing holidays and return visits.
Most guests found the property spotlessly clean and well maintained, though a few noted missed areas such as behind the sofa and some kitchen fittings. These were minor and did not detract significantly from the overall experience.
The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and easy access to Brixham's harbour and amenities. The steep walk back is frequently mentioned, but most guests felt the views and proximity outweighed this challenge.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, with modern furnishings, comfy beds, and a relaxing atmosphere. Some noted the open-plan bathroom and lack of blackout blinds as minor drawbacks, but overall comfort was rated highly.
Facilities such as the hot tub, garden, well-equipped kitchen, and parking are frequently highlighted as excellent. Occasional issues with parking, underfloor heating, and minor kitchenware maintenance were noted but did not significantly impact enjoyment.
The host is described as attentive and responsive, with some guests mentioning welcome gifts such as wine and detailed information packs. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for all guests.

this is a lovely cottage, spacious and modern with a lovely hot tub and superb views of the harbour. The walk back from town kept us fit but really is close by to all the shops and restaurants. Couldn't manage to turn the underfloor heating down in the shower room? so this was a bit like a sauna, and the radio in the hot tub didn't work, but those are the only two points of not in an otherwise perfect holiday let

A lovely house with everything you need for a great stay. Such attention to detail and quality clearly went into the design of this place and (if the mould around the shower cubicle wasn’t there) it could be described as beautiful. The owner was absolutely lovely and couldn’t do enough when we couldn’t work out the gas fire in the lounge (thank you Jenny). The hot tub is huge and really lovely as an extra. Every dish, glass, pan etc you would need were there in the kitchen and just to top it all off the views were awesome.

The most wonderful stay in Brixham! The property is modern with everything you need. The views from the front and side of the property are breathtaking, and we sat for hours watching the sea and the boats come and go. The location is fabulous and only a five minute walk down to the harbour which is plentiful of pubs, restaurants, shops and activities. The steps coming back up from the harbour are very steep and definitely not for those with limited mobility. However, there is a local bus and taxis can be ordered. The hot tub was a fantastic way to end the day. We are already looking at booking again for next year!
