Stairs on the street level also lead up to the next floor, where to find a fully equipped kitchen with cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine, dish washer and microwave. The main bathroom, including bath, is also located in this floor along with the dinning room with stunning views of the harbour and town. The remaining twin and double bedroom along with en-suite shower room are accessed from this floor by way of a steep and fairly tight stair case, which may not be suitable for less agile guests, but the view from the double bedroom is stunning and well worth the climb to the top of the house! A beautiful coastal retreat which offers all off road parking for one car. Surrounded by heritage, culture, sights, history and delightful pubs, eateries and restaurants. Many of the amenities and cottages in Brixham are accessed via steps some of which can be steep. Parking - we have one reserved parking space at the harbour for you. Our road doesn't have any parking restrictions, however you will be very lucky to get a space outside. Opposite the house is our neighbours garage, you can pull in there to load and unload for a minute if needed

Simply Stunning
This beautiful property was a real home from home. It had everything you could have wished for. The views were stunning over Brixham harbour. So if you just wanted to sit & watch the world go by you could. Everything was in walking distance, with a great selection of restaurants which would suit all tastes. The house is in easy access to lots of great things to visit. I would definitely recommend staying at Day Dream Believer if you wanted a chilled break

Outstanding views
What an amazing house! Stayed for a long weekend, with 7 adults of us in the party. There was plenty of room for all of us , Thaler are 2 double rooms and 2 twin rooms and there are 3 bathroom/shower rooms so no queues! I am disabled and my room was on the ground floor. I found the steps to the lower ground floor and the first floor easy to negotiate. There was everything you could possibly want in both the kitchens (yes it has 2!) But the outstanding thing is the views - they are simply stunning. I could literally have sat and just looked out the window all day! It is only few minutes to the harbour (I use a mobility scooter so it took slightly longer - if you are able bodied you can use the steps) Brixham is still the charming fishing town that I remember from childhood holidays, and my stay evoked memories of crabbing on the harbour with my granddad - many years ago! Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful house, totally recommend a stay!

Epic Views
The Views from the house are amazing, well worth the walk back up from the Harbour, all 142 steps, Parking is limited however there is a reserved space in the Harbour for you to use exclusively. The location of the house is a 5 min walk down to the harbour where you will find loads of pubs, restaurants, cafes and chip shops. Tracey provides lots of info such as great directions, list of eateries and places to go. property had welcome pack and the house was very well equipped for our stay. Will definitely be returning. would recommend booking direct for best price.

Good Morning Sharon Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. Once again I am sorry to hear that you encountered some issues during your stay. As you are aware, from our discussions during your stay, we will be taking these forward with our cleaning and maintenance teams. Yes the stairs are very steep up to the top two bedrooms, however this is highlighted in our detailed house description/layout. This also covers off where each bedroom and bathroom are located, along with that one of the bathrooms is ensuite. I’m pleased you enjoyed the great views and restaurants in and around Brixham.

Stunning View
We arrived at the property about midday and Tracy told us that the property was ready for us 3 hours early which was fantastic for us as we could unload all our luggage get the car parked and forget about it. On entering we were treated to stunning views over the harbour. It only takes five minutes to walk down to the town which was perfect for us. The property was clean and tidy with good facilities for cooking etc, to be honest it was perfect for all our needs. Enjoyed it so much we have booked it for next year.

Amazing place to stay and in a gorgeous harbour
The Bay Dream Believer is a wonderful cottage, beautifully decorated giving that home from home experience with everything you could possibly need to enjoy a wonderful family break in a beautiful setting. Lovely location to the harbour and with beautiful views. Great communication from Tracy who made us feel so welcome and happy to answer any questions if we needed anything. Lovely local restaurants, we found the best fish and chips in Nick's Fish Bar opposite the harbour worth a try. Wonderful places to take daily walks and places to stop to sample some of the local food. We had a wonderful holiday and can't wait to go back again.

Perfect - Grab yourself a bargain
Was thinking of keeping this one secret! Stunning views from the terrace even when it rained. Only a short walk into town but for those that don't fancy it, taxis are happy to take the trip. Even thou it's dog friendly there was no evidence of this, the house is spotless and well equipped. We love Brixham and you can still find friendly pubs that are not full of us tourists. Keep up the good work Tracy.

Highly recommended
Beautiful spacious house in a perfect location to explore Brixham. The terrace is perfect to take in the amazing views of the sea and harbour. Wouldn't recommend to anyone with difficulty walking as there are a lot of steps, but for us it was an opportunity to walk off the food from the fabulous restaurants, ice creams, cream teas, pasties etc.

About the neighborhood
The harbour area is a 5 minute walk down the hill from the property where you will find many bars and restaurants and a walk way that takes you to the small Break Water beach. At the beach you will find the Break Water Cafe which is a great place to partake in refreshments, alcoholic or otherwise, and lovely food to prepare yourself for the walk back round the harbour and the return back up to the house. If you like to put your walking boots on and take in the beautiful views of the surrounding area, the South West Coat paths runs from Brixham on both side of the harbour and provides stunning scenery along the way.
