My mother and I rang and asked for a twin or two singles, when we arrived John showed us each to a double room. The rooms are immaculate and very well stocked with extra little touches, waffle gowns, toiletries, etc all of excellent quality. The rooms are individually decorated to a very high standard, and absolutely spotless. (I have stayed in so called boutique hotels that were not a patch on Brookside).
We stayed in winter so did not sample the garden, but it looked as well tended as the house. When we arrived John & Tess were very welcoming, offering fresh tea and cake.
After a great nights sleep in a very comfy bed, breakfast! A very thorough choice, cereals, fresh fruit and all sorts of hot choices(cooked to order)-fantastic.
All in all we cannot recommend Brookside highly enough.

Very high standards, excellent food and surroundings, John and Tess make you feel very welcome, would not hesitate in returning, can highly recommend a stay at the Brookside.

My occupation takes me throughout the country on various marine construction projects, obviously I like to be as comfortable as possible when working away from home but I do not have a five star hotel allowance. I need not have worried 'Brookside' is the best guest house experience I have come across for many years. Having stayed there for the duration of the project I was managing I could not recommend it enough. John & Tess are excellent hosts and they clearly enjoy making sure all guests are happy. 'Brookside' certainly deserves the 'Best Guest House in Brixham' title.

We stayed at the Brookside Guest House during our visit to Devon for 11 nights in October. We enjoyed it very much, especially the excellent breakfasts. John and Tess are great hosts and their hints and informations about things to do round Brixham had been very useful. The room was spotless and the possibility to use WIFI was of great importance for me.

All in all Brookside is a highly recommendable place to go.
