Perfect. We loved it!
Everything about our stay was great. Jacqui and David were so helpful with all their communications and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The milk, tea, coffee and wine were such a nice gesture too. The location was perfect, directly opposite the harbour with a side view of the water and boats, with shops, cafes, walks and views, all moments away. We stayed with our 8 year old daughter and felt there was plenty of room for us all. We would love to come again!

My daughter has asked me to post her experience on her behalf. The property was fabulous and even better in real life, and a real home from home “feel” about it. The location was perfect for walking directly into the harbour and town. The “wheel house” gave her a perfect holiday, thank you so very much xxx

Cosy home away from home
Cosy home away from home
As soon as we walked into the Wheelhouse it felt familiar, even though we'd never stayed there before. Such a cosy, sweet little flat that feels like a cottage.
With the location being right at the end of the shops in the harbour, it is perfect. It's only a five minute walk to the bus stop, perfect if like us you don't drive, or indeed would rather park your car and utilise the buses (which are so regular you can pretty much always walk straight onto one).
I've been to Brixham many, many times since I was a child and adore it there. Staying right in the harbour and feeling at home just make it even better.
The place was spotless, and plenty of room for a week or two. Well stocked kitchen, and even plenty of hand wash, toilet rolls and even a bottle of wine upon arrival.
I would say that if you have mobility issues then it may not be the best place to stay. The steps outside to get up the the property are a little steep, even with the handrail. And getting in and out of the bath for a shower feels a little perilous with nothing to hold onto!
We are certainly planning on staying again, can't wait to go back!

Its fishtown ok
Its fishtown ok
The property itself was great spotless and the owners were loveley BUT having really bad walking difficulties I found the description of the "few steps which aren't very steep", a bit misleading to say the least 39 steps is 30 too many for anyone with walking difficulties we had to leave my wheelchair in the car in the carpark which was a ten minute walk away

We have just spent a lovely week in the ground floor flat in the fisherman's cottage. The flat was very clean and tidy and had everything you could possibly need for a week away. It is perfectly situated by the harbour, so easy to explore the town and has some great walks close by. You are also spoilt for choice with lots of cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance.

This is a lovely flat in a fishermans cottage, home from home we call it as we have holidayed here for a good few years.,The couple who own it are Jacqui and david ,and live above. They are a lovely friendly couple who are always their to help if needed.The flat is in a brilliant position over looking Brixhams beautiful bay.Everything you need is catered for,,as I said home from home, and.just a stroll away are resturants,cafes,shops pubs,and of course the lovely beach.we travel to brixham by car and can always find somewhere to park up on the hill,so not a problem.or you can always get a permit if you prefer.but once you park everything is in walking distance anyway.Thanks Jacqui and david for a brilliant holiday again,and we are looking forward to another one next year.shirley and mick mullins

You cannot beat this for value for money for the location. We have just returned from a week's stay at the Wheelhouse, which was wonderful. It had everything we needed and was exactly as described. Being so close to the harbour was a special treat....walking down with a coffee, to watch the fishermen in the mornings or 30 second stroll for one of many crabbing trips with the kids. Would strongly recommend it for a family with small kids. The sofa bed was used by all of us and was very comfy. Lovely shower and kitchen had everything we needed.
Note about parking - Hob Nobs no longer sell parking permits. The harbour master in Brixham is not open on the weekend. Either order it online before your trip (as they post it to you) or do what we did, which was take a lovely trip on the ferry, £3 return (Weferry was great!) to Torquay and pop into the Harbour master there, which is open on the weekend. £35 may sound a lot but you will definitely save money over the week. Querry Car Park is the closest to the cottage, a 5 minute walk away but the walk is stunning and you can pick up your fresh fish from the fishmonger on the way!
