A beautiful place with lots of character. Very comfortable and lots of little touches that made you feel welcome. The breakfast was absolutely amazing.
Everything was fine
The host
The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Pip was very helpful and organised breakfasts to a high standard. Car parking was very easy which is directly in front of the property. Easy 5 minute walk to the harbour.
Clean, spacious room with lovely view. Good breakfast choice. Very convenient location with ample free car parking.
Nothing - all good.
The hotel had a homey feel to it. In a great location 10 minute walk into the main town. Free parking and an amazing cooked breakfast.
No negative comments about this property
Very good and alarge amount of choice for breakfast It was lovely no faults at all .( delicious) Short walk from harbour
Location was great, parking is a bonus. Breakfast was delicious and Pip was very helpful throughout.
Warm welcome, great view of Brixham Harbour, excellent breakfast . Even the location was great
Attractive building in great location. Host was friendly. Room was clean.
Cooked breakfast was poor. Tasted and looked as if it was yesterday’s reheated. Air conditioning wasn’t working properly. Shower had poor pressure
Perfect location for the harbour. The host Pip, very welcoming. Lovely home cooked breakfast. Honesty drinks fridge is excellent, well stocked and half what you could pay. Perfect way to finish the night off.
Nothing
The location is perfect, the host is so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back!
Nothing!
Friendly staff, good location and great breakfast.
The room needed updating, there were knobs missing from the wardrobe, the bedroom door rattled in the wind, and the wall paper was peeling off the ceiling .
Excellent breakfast, and very accomodatimg when I asked to leave my car there prior to booking in and until 3pm on the day we left. Didn't have to worry about finding a car park near by.
Stairs to our room.
Gezellige B&B , joviale ontvangst. Lekker ontbijt. Parkeren in de tuin . Wandelafstand van het centrum. Brixham is een leuk, gezellig stadje, met een vissershaven en verschillende pubs en restaurants. Van hieruit kan je met de boot naar Torquay .

Clean,,comfortable and fantastic breakfast.

All the little extras were so thoughtful in the room and we loved the garden. The breakfast was amazing.
Pip was a lovely host, he was supported by a great staff who looked after us very well. Breakfast was faultless, loads of options.
Loved everything
Disliked nothing
The location is great and being at the top of the house I had a great view across Torbay. Breakfast was excellent and the service was too. Plenty of choice for breakfast which was super.
My room was really difficult for me to get up to. I should have asked for a room lower down. Another guest helped me with my case to the room which was great. But I had to struggle down the very steep and narrow stairs on my way out.
Friendly hosts, great breakfast and location. Room was small but had everything we needed and a sea view.

Breakfast was amazing
Lovely garden. All very clean
Wonderful traditional guest house.. Great reception and dining room. Loved the honesty bar.
Clean, comfortable and exceptional value with a lot of choices for breakfast and private parking.
Great location, accommodating host
Slightly tired property, very small bathroom
Rooms clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Staff were welcoming friendly and helpful. Location was ideal, 5-10 minute walk to the harbour and amenities.
Nothing, we had a lovely experience
I had an amazing stay at this B&B. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and a great way to start the day.I can highly recommend this B&B and would happily stay here again!
The young staff were excellent
We were there during a heat wave and the rooms were very hot without air conditioning
The host Pip was very welcoming , accommodation was very clean,homely and comfortable , breakfast was amazing nothing was too much trouble at all, we will 100% be returning ..
Location
Described as having sea views and king room. Allocated a room facing a garden and washing line. Room very small. Coffee machine fir breakfast dispensed terrible coffee. Soundproofing from footsteps above poor.
The location was okay. The property was laid out well with a lot of convenient well thought out additions we had not seen before including an honesty bar from a cold fridge. The coffee machine was really good and decaff tea bags were a choice you don't always see. The staff were friendly.
Our room was very snall and very tired with water marks on two of the walls (we mentioned this) the toilet was in an awkward position as the sink cabinet overlapped the space. We had to ask for more toilet paper. The reviews i read regarding the breakfast were positive but two of my four breakfasts were disappointing given we were told they were freshly cooked. Bacon pale looking and tough to eat and sausage although cooked was not browned.
Die tolle Lage und die sehr netten Gastgeber
Das Zimmer war sehr klein und nur mit einem Etagenbett ausgerüstet. Dies war auf der Booking-Seite zwar aufgeführt aber erst ganz am Schluss von allen Notizen. Wir waren auf alle Fälle sehr erstaunt, dies so vorzufinden.
Fabulous breakfast and lovely staff
The place was great, friendly, clean, well just had everything you needed and more...
I normally have options how things could improve or should change... However this place is perfect
Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good bed was super comfy
Perfect location, and everything has been thought about to make your stay exceptional

Good location, comfortable bed and good breakfast.
De familiale sfeer
De grote boom op de pakeerplaats, waarin zich nestelen maar ook van waar ze hun uitwerpselen op de auto's laten vallen.
Fab place and breakfast amazing very comfortable place to stay this was are srcond time coming
Nothing to dislike
Nothing the man was rude to me he is a horrible individual
Didn’t stay
Pip was an excellent host. Good communication. Breakfast excellent. Room was small, but perfectly clean.
It is so refreshing to experience an 'old school' approach to hoteliery, where everything is based on service, simplicity and trust. The location is perfect for the harbour and marina, plenty of parking and everything else is exactly as you would expect and want it to be.
There was nothing not to like
Très bon accueil. Localisation qui permet de tout faire à pied
Gastheer Pip is geweldig en hij zorgde voor een heerlijke ontbijt. Mooi huis, hartelijk ontvangst. Echt een aanrader. We hadden de Bunk kamer met een stapelbed geboekt en hadden daar niet veel van verwacht van te voren. Maar het was comfortabel, gezellig ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. Helemaal top, zeker voor ons als South West Coast Path wandelaars
Fantastic support from pip to help with our changed travel plans
Close proximity to harbour and pubs
Nothing
Lovely clean comfortable rooms Freshly cooked breakfast
The owners were so lovely, accommodating and friendly! The room was so lovely, had everything we needed and a great sea view, with just a short walk to the harbour. The breakfast was so tasty and made to order. 100% recommended staying here if you are planning to go to Brixham!
Nothing
Nice welcome and such a comfy bed!
Bathroom was tiny and for someone with a non visible disability and stoma bad it was quite tricky! BUT it was so clean. So not really a negative but if you need space in a bathroom just keep it in mind.
We liked everything about the property, lovely house, room with balcony overlooking the harbour , food, location, was fantastic,
There was nothing to dislike
Location to town was perfect, just a short walk. Had a lovely room with a sea view. Breakfast was delicious. Pip is a lovely host.

Welcoming host, great location, comfortable room and fab breakfast, spolt for choice.
Nothing to dislike
Breakfast was amazing. The host was very friendly and they even had oat milk for my tea. Really good location for coast path walking. Lovely little bunk room for an overnight stop.
Nothing.
Ideally located, spotlessly clean and comfortable, delicious breakfast, gracious and generous service and provision - we loved our stay and will return. Unusually for a central Brixham property, Ranscombe House has a good parking space - much appreciated.
Pip is wonderful. The location is brilliant. It’s great value for money. We would recommend and we’ll be there in the future, hopefully.
The hosts / owners were absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast was amazing and there was a nice selection to choose from. The bed was comfy and the view was beautiful.
The room we were in had low beams and it was difficult to avoid hitting your head in places. Moving the wardrobe into the area outside the bathroom would allow for the tea making area to be moved to a more accessible place. I would definitely stay there again though, just pick a different room. We were in crows nest 2.
Excellent breakfast choices- outstanding breakfast!
Would have liked a room with 2 easy chairs if we were staying longer.
Pip was an incredible host. Attentive, well organised, explained everything with a wonderful greeting when we arrived and even lent me a phone charger after I forgot mine at our previous destination. The breakfast was truly superb and home cooked perfection! Thank you - will definitely be staying again.
Breakfast exceptional. Host amazingly pleasant and friendly
The stairs leading to bedroom
Lovely bright clean room, plenty of parking, short walk to all the restaurants , harbour etc
The property was spotless and so homely. We loved the garden! Breakfast was also perfect. The marina is a 2 minute walk away which made this an ideal place to see Brixham.
Nothing, will be booking again.
Excellent service great sea view
Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely room, nice and comfy bed, great breakfast with parking on site, would definitely recommend!!
Nothing
Close to the harbour and restaurants, beautifully kept, the bedroom was huge! Comfy and cosy.
Nothing - it was brilliant, we’ll be back!
Very good central location just off the town centre. Well equipped room with good bathroom facilities.
There wasn’t anything to dislike about the property
Pip is a fantastic host, a real gentleman, very friendly and attentive to his guests. The house is very well presented and the rooms are well equipped and comfy. The breakfasts were scrumptious . We had a great five days. Thanks Pip
Friendly, clean comfortable and welcoming.
Leaving
Warm, comfortable and clean accommodation in an excellent location. The gentleman who greeted us when we arrived was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. We would stay again if we visited Brixham.
Excellent. No complaints.

Everything is so lovely and welcoming....the chats at breakfast are so warming but the breakfast itself is amazing.....nothing is too much trouble they are the most attentive hosts but not overbearing.
We didn't stay long enough.
The place itself is absolutely beautiful and comfortable and Pip makes it by helping any queries to make your stay the best it can be
Nothing. It is perfect. Location, service and comfort
Hosts were friendly and welcoming, lovely breakfast, very clean and cosy room
Great location Amazing breakfast hospitality amazing. Highly recommend
The owners were very friendly and polite, the food was excellent, and the harbour view from the Crow's Nest was amazing. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I would highly recommend a stay here
The stairs to the second floor were a bit tricky and steep, especially with luggage, but it's worth the climb for the view. There were some strange noises coming from the shower, maybe because another guest was showering
A nice building with a view of the bay. Breakfast was a winner
A great little find in Brixham, I contacted Pip before my arrival asking for a early check in and he was very obliging and when I did arrive early I was treated to an upgrade. A great location only 10 mins walk from the town centre. Fantastic breakfast and a great host. I will be sure to come here again if i am ever in Brixham or near by. Thanks Pip for making me feel so welcome.
Lovely place. Excellent host Very comfy bed. Spotlessly clean.
Nothing to dislike
Location was great, breakfast also super, owners/staff excellent.
We had a bedroom in the roof space which was small and fairly difficult to get too. The garden area needs some attention.
Everything! The host was super nice, the (upgraded) room wonderful with great views, the breakfast fantastic. Many thanks!

Really friendly homely feel. Pip and his team are lovely! Great breakfast. Good view of the sea. Round the corner from the harbour.
Nothing
Great choice at breakfast, high quality ingredients. Lovely accommodating friendly owner and staff. Wonderful location within easy reach of harbour and town centre.
Comfortable room with bathrobe which was just perfect after a long hike along the SWCP. Huge variety of food and tea/coffee for breakfast. Very friendly staff.
Fine for us, but if you are tall the bathroom is quite narrow.
