We have stayed at the Front Row Cottage a few times and love it for its location and cosy feel. We wanted to stay over new year to just sit with the fire on and watch the boats coming and going. When we arrived we found the property to be a little un clean and it felt like the property hadn’t been cleaned for a while, we spent the first couple of hours cleaning the fire out, coffee or tea stains all up the banisters and cleaning the kitchen area. This was a bit disappointing as not what we had expected to be needed on arrival. During our stay we also felt there was a bad smell in the middle floor bathroom that was quite unbearable, it was like a bad drain smell and i tried all sorts to get rid of the smell but no luck. Not a deal breaker but just a bit un pleasant. I don’t want to seem like we are manning just disappointed.

Thank you for writing a review and for staying with us again at Front Row Cottage. I am sorry to hear that you found that the housekeeping was below standard on arrival. I can't see that you contacted the office regarding these issues. My Brixham Holiday Homes do not employ the property cleaners, but we would have contacted them on your behalf to address these issues. I will forward your review to them. Regarding the wood burner, the owners say that you are advised to always have an insulating layer of ash from previous burnings at the bottom of your stove. I am so glad to hear that you still love this property with its magical views. We hope to see you again soon.
Xmas in brixham

Sink plunger as the plumbing is little slow new Hoover bag in Henrietta maybe being a little picky but washer dryer would be nice as jeans took two days to dry but would definitely stay again as beautiful part of the world and comfortably cottage in perfect location

Brixham is the most beautiful harbour both day and night. The views from the cottage windows are worth the cost of the cottage hire! Well equipped kitchen, but we took our own oven gloves as had been before. Wonderfully powerful shower, there is a deep bath on the top floor but we did not use this. Plenty of wardrobe space and cupboards. TVs in both bedrooms, but did not use these as the views from the window were awesome! Stairs up to the top bedroom are very steep and the treads are quite narrow. There are a couple of steps up from the kitchen to the downstairs toilet and high steps at the front access. A massive plus for this property is the dedicated parking space along the harbour below the cottage. However there are quite a few steps up to the cottage from the harbour. You get used to them after a few days. There are local shops within minutes of walking from the cottage. Bay Coffee Company on the opposite side of the harbour to the cottage did the best lattes and staff so friendly! Lots of fish and chip shops / restaurants available, local pubs including the very traditional Blue Anchor….tried the local Adela BM79 gin, fantastic! We visited in the winter and the cottage was very cosy and warm and has a wood burner in the front room. Only slight criticism was the mattress on the first floor bed was a little uncomfortable as the springs kept pinging when turning in bed, but I’m sure this is something the owners can rectify. All in all we loved staying at Front Row Cottage and will be returning for our 3rd year in 2024. Highly recommend! Brixham is a place you won’t want to leave and will draw you back again and again.

Superb cottage that met our needs very well as both double rooms were en suite and equally spacious with stunning views over the harbour and far down the coast to Torquay. The living area has the same wonderful views and two large sofas so everyone can sit in comfort. The kitchen was large and well equipped. We sat outside to eat fish and chips on a couple of sunny evenings. The car parking, shops and restaurants are a few minutes walk away, all in all a fabulous find in Brixham

We really enjoyed staying in Front Row Cottage. It's very homely and comfortable and has fantastic views of the harbour. The location is excellent.
A bit more information about parking in advance of arrival would have been helpful, as we had to call the office to find out where to go.

The property is lovely, well equipped with beautiful views. It is tastefully finished. Just a short walk to the harbour and its private parking bay. As it is right on the main harbour road though, it can get quite noisy. Also, as a consideration for children the cars come past very fast, especially the locals. (

Front Row Cottage has an amazing view of the harbour and is a well appointed house. Steep steps outside and inside the house need to be emphasised for anyone with difficulty. It provides a very comfortable stay and the location, just a three minute stroll down into the town, makes it a wonderful holiday location. If I could suggest one improvement, a welcome guide to the house including WiFi connections and the rules on refuse and recycling, would have been helpful. Overall an amazing house with uninterrupted views of Brixham town and harbour.

Our first response to entering the house was "oh wow ". The view from all the rooms was amazing, we all have stiff necks from constantly turning our heads to look out. The house was decorated to quite a high standard but still immediately felt very homely and comfortable. The finer details were also well observed, such as the welcome pack, binoculars in every room and even managing to squeeze a toilet downstairs in the utility area. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will undoubtedly use it again.

Our second stay at Front Row Cottage. Very homely and comfortable. The most amazing views. A short stroll away from shops bars and restaurants All the kitchen utensils you could possibly need. The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. My only negative this stay was the cottage had not been thoroughly cleaned. I did mention to the office staff but it did not spoil our stay and we are looking forward to staying at this property again later in the year. Thoroughly recommended and great service from MyBrixham Holidays

We had a lovely stay at front Row... The location was excellent. Lovely a clean, the beds were comfortable, fully equipped kitchen. The only suggestions I would maybe suggest are; Non slip shower mats in the showers, as I did slip a few times, and there's nothing to hold on to, in the shower on the top floor. A smart TV in the lounge, would be nice, as we had quite a rainy stay in Brixham, and if we could have downloaded our Netflix in the evenings it would have been nice. We still had a lovely stay and would stay again.
