Quayside Hotel

Location excellent & if you have an electric car & are mobile this is the place to stay in Brixham, 6 charging points in private car parking. BUT this is a very old building with rickety stairs, MANY fire doors & less than clear room directions. The walk from the car park is not easy, beware those with limited mobility or wheelchairs. We booked a snug harbour view for £140 - this was poor value for money, the room was very snug with a tiny bathroom. The view was okay but only through a small window, the morning after the condensation prevented any view. Breakfast was okay but fairly minimal, £3 surcharge if you want salmon. Restaurant was closed to us on the evening although there were people eating, no problem finding somewhere else but again you need mobility. Brixham pretty hilly, this hotel is on a very narrow street with even narrower footpaths. We didn't have a hairdryer in our room, not discovered until after hairwashing, my wife attended breakfast with wet hair, we raised it with reception who apologised & promised to put it right !! After breakfast still no hairdryer in room & no mention of recompense.

Conveniently located & quaint, but... 1) With a top (3rd) floor room & no lift it was a struggle for my retired wife & I to drag our luggage up the steep staircase & we were not offered assistance. 2) Due to staff shortages the room was not serviced daily but there was no price reduction. 3) The bedsheets were too small for the twin beds & so not tucked in so they rolled up in the night. 4) No one even asked if everything was OK at checkout.

A great location overlooking the harbour and a fantastic breakfast. Although our room was at the top with steep stairs it was very light, airy and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Very good location for this traditional hotel. Our room was furnished in a clean and modern way, which we liked. The breakfast was good and the staff welcoming. The dedicated car park was a godsend. Lots of restaurants and pubs within 2 mins walk, as well as the harbour, a small beach, the sea water pool and the south west coast path

Relaxing stay
