Guests say
Wrens Perch in Brixham is a beautifully presented cottage with stunning views over the harbour and Torbay. Guests consistently praise its stylish décor, well-equipped kitchen, relaxing hot tub, and lovely garden. The property is within walking distance of the town centre, though the steep steps may challenge those with mobility issues. Parking is convenient for one car, with additional on-street options nearby. The owner is responsive and helpful, and the property is dog-friendly. While a few minor maintenance and layout issues are noted, the overall experience is highly positive and memorable.
Most guests found the property spotlessly clean and well maintained, though a few mentioned missed areas such as behind the sofa and kitchen fittings. These were minor and did not detract significantly from the overall impression.
The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and proximity to Brixham harbour and local amenities. 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 cosy interiors, quality beds, and a relaxing 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, garden, well-equipped kitchen, and parking are frequently highlighted as excellent. A few guests mentioned issues with parking for two cars, damaged kitchenware, and the absence of a dining table, but these were outweighed by the positives.
The owner is described as friendly and responsive, with thoughtful touches such as a welcome bottle of wine and a detailed information pack. Please note that gifts like wine are not guaranteed for every stay.

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.
