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!

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.
