A stylish 2-bedroom holiday home, offering breathtaking views of the harbour, quay, and marina. With a full-width balcony, modern open-plan living, and a convenient central location, it’s the perfect retreat.

Amazing place for Torbay holiday.

This is a lovely flat with great views of Brixham Harbour. As the description makes clear the flat is on the 3rd floor of the block, and is accessed via stairs only. What it doesn't explicitly say, but is definitely worth being aware of is that the flat door is a total of 100 steps (plus a further steep hill) from the harbour side... which is to be expected in this part of the world, but particularly if you have to park the car remotely (the car park is about a 10 minute walk) then you will become very familiar with this route, an it COULD spoil your stay
Other things - the flat could do with some information about the procedure for refuse/recycling collection - most places are very forward about this, but this flat provides no information at all.
The smell of urine still persists in the entrance hall too - despite references here that it's been dealt with!
(Oh and don't go to the Brixham Holidays office in town as mentioned in the guide provided in the flat - you'll discover an empty shop unit - took a number of times to get hold of someone on the phone too!)

Thank you for your review, I am sorry that the information in the apartment has not yet been updated since we moved from our office on Middle Street. A member of the team is generally available on the phone, however at times they may be on the phone already so please leave a voice mail or send an email. Although depending on the route there are many steps from the harbourside if you come via Broadsteps on Middle Steet there are a smaller amount of steps and a much easier route up to Overgang. Most of the apartment blocks in Brixham do not have lifts, so unless it says there is one it would be safer to assume it hasn't got one. I am pleased to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay at The Penthouse and recommend it to others

Can’t imagine a more beautiful flat in Brixham

An absolutely gorgeous and well-appointed property. You have breathtaking views of the town and harbor from the enormous terrace. Well-designed and modern interior that looks like it was recently remodeled. A beautiful design that makes you feel like you are in a deluxe state room on a yacht. We found the kitchen very usable for cooking meals during our stay. Would absolutely return here.

The views from the apartment & balcony are fantastic over Brixham Harbour and out to sea. We loved watching the activities of a working harbour and looking down on the rooftops at nesting seagulls. The Penthouse had everything and an excellent kitchen. We enjoyed cooking fresh fish as well as eating at Rockfish. (A tip.... if your car does not fit in the apartment parking space, the nearest longstay car park is Oxen Cove (RingGo available to book for a week) Easy pedestrian access to the left side of Rockfish and Brixham harbour - a 10 minute walk to The Penthouse. Note:- Central Car Park short say 3 hours only).

This was our second visit and we absolutely loved it. The panoramic view is unique, and every aspect of the penthouse is a joy. We hope to return as soon as is possible.

We booked 5 nights in the Penthouse for a short early season break. It was definitely the right decision to book it as it was a wonderful place to stay. The interior is very bright and modern with everything you need to feel like home from home. We had to turn the heating off quite a bit as although we stayed in February, the place was really warm inside. The views have to be the best in Brixham. The parking was quite tight and not easy to turn into the small cave space opposite the penthouse but it is do-able. We have a VW Polo which was ok but anything bigger would have been a struggle. Once inside the building there are quite a few flights of short stairs to the top and then another when you get inside the front door too. If you are ok with this, it is well worth staying there. We called into the We only have positive feedback and will definitely be booking again. We Highly recommend it.

The Penthouse had the most stunning views of the harbour and out to sea. It was equipped with everything we needed to ensure we enjoyed our stay and we couldn't fault the level of cleanliness. It was a joy to sit on the balcony and look out at the boats coming and going and also eating out at the local bars and restaurants.
Location was fantastic being right in the harbour and situated mid-level, the walk down to the shops and bars wasn't too strenuous!
We had a lovely week and would be very happy to return to the Penthouse!

Fourth timing staying here in around 6 years, never fails to wow us with it's amazing views and full length balcony. Brixham itself gets better every time we visit we more options of eateries appearing all the time. Highly recommend!

The flat was beautifully presented, very modern and clean and the views of the harbour were stunning. However we did not know that Brixham is home to the largest fish market in England so there is 24 hour noise. Noise comes from the fish market generators, fishing boats and lorries. Also because of the shape of the harbour, Brixham town is like an Amphitheatre so any noise in the harbour is really loud; Fishermen mending their boats with drills and hammers, motorbikes, road sweepers, music, shouting etc. We have never stayed anywhere with so much noise.
The flat itself was beautiful, however the communal stairs are extremely unpleasant to walk up due to the smell of urine and smoke. Even in the flat we can smell smoke and our throats were dry and sore as a result.
We could not stay more than 2 nights out of the 7 booked.
This is our only summer holiday and we went to Brixham for a rest, unfortunately that wasn't possible.



Carrie Toms replied more than 1 year ago
I visited the property after your review. I could not locate the smell of urine that you mentioned. The apartment block is a mixture of private residences and holiday lets. It is possible if one of the other flats ’ occupants smokes that a smell could on occasion permeate the communal stairwell. However, on all my visits to the apartment, I have never seen people smoking in communal areas. Whist was very sad to hear that you were overly affected by the location of the property in relation to the working harbour Information about Brixham is readily available on the Internet. The Penthouse has several regular guests who enjoy its full-width balcony and stunning views. The property is non-smoking. Brixham is a working fishing port, and the fish market operates 24 hours a day. The port is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK. The team here at My Brixham Holiday all live locally and are happy to chat through the property options available on a guest’s chosen date. In your case, we would probably have suggested staying on the Cove which is a 15-minute stroll into the harbour basin on the Fishcombe side of Brixham. Any guest is welcome to ring the office and talk to a member of the team on 01803 921808

Great stay

We had a brilliant holiday at the Penthouae.. Beautiful accommodation and great facilities in the apartment. The views were spectacular.
Only negative was the horrendous smell on the way up the communal stairs to get to the apartment. But once in the apartment there is no smell.
We will definitely return.
