Beacon House B&B Brixham

I chose Beacon House B & B as it had so many good reviews, and I now understand why. Talk about a B&B with a difference. The attention to detail in the rooms and with the breakfast menu are most original and quirky. It’s where France meets Brixham. Each room has a small fridge, with fresh milk. Some rooms have small balconies with seats to admire the view. Herve cooks all the breakfasts which Nathalie serves you with aplomb. They are both great hosts and go the extra mile all the time. The view from my room was stunning. Possible clients for Beacon House need to be aware that there are 2 steep steps to get to the front door, with no handrail. There is no lift in the house. Beacon House has a car park, which is one reason to stay there, as parking in Brixham is at a premium. However the streets around the Beacon are narrow and one sometimes has to reverse to allow other cars to pass. One way of walking into the town is to use one of the steep set of steps and/or the steep streets, but remember, you have to walk back to the hotel. There are car parks in the town, but there are no concessions for holders of Blue Badges. There is a great choice of restaurants in town for an evening meal and plenty of places to visit nearby using car or bus. My only criticism of the Beacon is the poor quality of the wi-fi signal, which was very weak.

Stunning house, beautifully kept with wonderful views over the harbour. Run by renowned chef Herve means breakfast is a gastronomic delight. Little touches such as the lovely garden and water for guests by the door make this place really special.
