“Weekend Away”

Brookside Guest House

13 Apr 2008

If you are rather fussy about cleanliness & high standards then Brookside is an excellent choice to explore Brixham, Dartmouth & surrounding areas.

The Guest House itself is extremely clean, tidy and well maintained.

The Rooms aren't huge but are spotlessly clean, well decorated and equipt making the most of the available space. Little extras like shortbread cookies, sweets, hot chocolate, horllcks & fresh milk for tea & coffee make the normal tea tray facilities extra special.

The breakfast choices are excellent, fresh fruit, yoghurts & cereal are all complimented by a wide selection of varied hot breakfast options which would suit non-meat eaters as well as those who want the full English!

We stayed for a 2 night weekend break with friends & found our hosts to be hugely welcoming & accommodating. This is the sort of place where you are happy to walk around in stocking feet!

Although Brixham itself is not as pretty as nearby Dartmouth, if you like Live music, it is a great place to visit. The local Indian Restaurant - Balti Nights serves good food & the Blue Anchor PH is a nice cosy place to have a few drinks.

“Fantastic Choice in Brixham”

Brookside Guest House

Save Review

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Outstanding!!
John & Tess could not have tried harder to ensure that my stay was comfortable. Each morning at breakfast, John would gently enquire about my plans for the day and then provided helpful suggestions to help ensure that I had a rewarding day.

The breakfast selection was fantastic. The rooms were very clean.

I cannot imagine any areas for improvement.

“First Class B&B”

Had a two night stay in what can only be described as a "luxury B&B" equivellant to a good quality hotel but with the personal touch. The breakfast was excellent, more than ample and a wide choice. John and Tess are great characters and nothing is too much trouble for them. I would'nt hesitate to recommend.

“excellent place to stay - 1st class b&b.”

Brookside Guest House

8 Mar 2008

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at this beautiful b&b, I have never stayed in a B&B of which the standard has been so high, as good as any 1st class hotel and I think it would be pretty hard to beat. We especially enjoyed the cakes and tea on arrival! John and Tess have thought of everything to make your stay a lovely time - thanks!!

Chippenham, WIlts
3 Mar 2008

The unassuming exterior of this property hides what must be one of the best B&B experiences in S W England. We stayed for 3 nights and would unhesitatingly recommend this for a peaceful break. Located far enough from town to be quiet but not so far as to be beyond walking distance the Brookside experience is one to be savoured. The room was a little small but was more than compensated for by the range of amenities and quality of fittings which were way beyond anything we have experienced elsewhere in the UK and well deserving of the gold award accreditied to this establishment. The pot of tea and muffins which greeted us on arrival were the ideal tonic after a weary day of travelling and the hospitality and helfpfulness of our hosts simply outstanding. The breakfasts were good enough to leave us wishing they also served dinner! Even in late February/early March the back garden was a mass of colour and would be an ideal summer sunspot. It becomes difficult to justify the additional cost of staying in a hotel when B&B gets this good!
