Such a lovely welcome, we had some home made scones left for us and a welcome note.The house has everything we needed and was very clean, warm and cosy. We loved it.The location is just 15 walk from Brixham Harbour and Dartmouth, Paignton, or Torquay are just a short drive away.Plenty or places to walk the dog if you have one.
