A delightful two-bedroom bungalow on a residential street, which sits on the edge of the fishing town of Brixham, surrounded by rolling wooded hills and countryside. Brixham is home to a working harbour and is renowned for its quirky shops and culinary offerings, with many restaurants serving the day's catch. Lovers of water sports will be in heaven at Breakwater Beach, a sand and shingle bay close to the harbour, 2 miles from the bungalow. Broadsands, a sandy beach littered with rock pools and a string of colourful beach huts, sits 3.5 miles from the bungalow. Berry Head National Park, the gateway to the English Riviera Global Geo Park, sits 3 miles away. It is an area rich in wildlife, stunning views and history, and is also a huge draw for walkers charting the South West Coast Path.

The bungalow’s welcoming living area has two sofas and bathes in plenty of natural light, with access to the landscaped gardens at its front or patio to its side and the rear. Next door to the living area, guests will find an equally resplendent kitchen/diner with a table and seating that also benefits from plenty of natural light and access to the patio area. As this is a bungalow, there are also two lovely bedrooms, a double and a twin, and a family bathroom with a bath, a walk-in shower and WC all on the same level

Outside, the bungalow’s front garden has been tastefully landscaped. Through a gate at the side of the bungalow is a patio with table and benches, with garden furniture and seating at the generous patio to the rear, both enclosed by walls and shrubbery - perfect for al fresco dining.

Compass Rose is a modern bungalow in a quiet neighbourhood, about half an hour from Brixham Harbour. Our stay was comfortable, and we appreciated being able to charge our electric car at the house. The fully enclosed garden was perfect for our dog to roam freely, which we all loved.

Nice little spot, couldnt fault the cleanliness (despite comments in previous reviews). A bit further from town than wed have ideally liked, would make for a long walk down to the harbour and back up the hill. But the area was nice and quiet, apart from the odd seagull.

Nicely renovated bungalow, in a quiet area, a 30 minute walk from the centre of Brixham. Well equipped but sofas were a little small for comfort. Convenient off road parking with space to store bikes. Overall, a nice place to stay if you're happy to stay out of the centre of the town.

When I booked the property I paid to use the EV charger. I was told the code to use it would be sent to me before arrival, it wasn't. After many unanswered calls and failed attempted live chats (no one was ever on) I finally got an answer and was told no code would be needed to use the EV charger. On arrival I found I needed a code ! Stress indeed.Read more However, the property was fantastic and I can honestly say I had the best holiday of my life. Hide

The property is a very well equipped, modern holiday home. It is a fair walk from the town but we knew this when we booked, choosing it due to the facilities. We were comfortable as a couple but if 4 were to share, they may struggle with the living room furniture as there are only 2 rather small sofas which would not seat 2 comfortably.

The property was everything we expected from the website description. It was quiet, very well equipped and everything was spotless and modern with good off-road parking. The distance from Brixham harbour was about a mile - approximately a 20min walk, but we found the hourly bus service very reliable when we didn't want to take the car.
