Pros:

Hello, we stayed on Saturday 6th September.
Room needs a bit of updating, but apart from that an amazing hotel.
The evening meal was just superb, my partner s steak was incredible, and the carrot soup starter is heavenly.
Reasonably priced and great location, and the owners took time to welcome us
Absolutely 10/10

Pros:

This is an absolute bargain - without in any way belonging in the bargain basement! A brilliant location with harbour and town centre on your doorstep - not sure how it is if you have to park your car etc. A quirky, historic house with some signs of wear but very clean, restful and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent breakfast, perfectly cooked to order, and a real pleasure to linger over. Grateful to hosts Mark and Adele for my overnight stay in Brixham. Would definitely use it again and definitely recommend it to discerning friends 😎

Short stay in Brixham
Pros:

Smuggler's Haunt a lovely and unusual hotel just minutes from the harbour. Good reception, cosy clean room, fabulous breakfast. Parking is an issue but that is the same with a lot of the hotels in Brixham given the nature of the town. Would definitely stay here again.
