A very comfortable cottage that we'd happily stay in again. The location is great with the harbour and shops very easily accessed. Some steps and inclines in Brixham are par for the course. Furzeham Green just up Station Hill was perfect for the dogs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Skippers. The cottage was a good size and the location near to the harbour and walking trails was fantastic. Everything is within walking distance from the cottage. Parking on the road above the cottage was easy even with the central location. The bedrooms were clean and tidy and the kitchen was very well equipped.Read more The sun room on the 2nd floor had great views and was great for board games on rainy days to keep the kids entertained.

The property was lovely the snug is a great little touch. The little garden is very little its more of a tiny cortyard but fine if you are taking a dog away as it is secure. The location of the property is fabulous just a short walk to the harbour. There is no parking at the property but we did manage to find a space up another street.
