Review 2:Absolutely no faults. Everything was excellent.
Review 3:Clean, comfortable...in fact a home from home. Nigel and Amanda are superb hosts, their breakfasts are excellent and all tastes are catered for to give you a great start to your day. Tea/coffee facilities in the room and a cooler in the breakfast room if you need to keep a bottle or two chilled for your return from the harbour or town which are only a short walk away. The view from our harbour view room was beautiful with everything lit up at night.

Review 83:Nigel and Amanda made us feel very welcome indeed, and have done an extraordinary job to refurb the hotel. The quality of the furniture, fittings and fixtures is first class. If you don't manage to book yourself in to the Beacon, then you will definitely have to settle for second best. Absolutely first rate. The view across the harbour is outstanding too. Can't wait to return.
Review 84:That I didn't stay longer!!!!
Review 85:I stay in many hotels every week and so have experienced highs and lows. This is deffinetly a high! Nigel and Amanda made me feel very welcome from the moment I arrived. The house is spotless as are the rooms. Breakfast was really nice with amazing views over Brixham. I can't recommend this place enough.
Review 86:Every aspect was superb and the attention to detail was highly impressive. We are not in the habit of going to the same place twice but we can't wait to go back. The owners were so warm and welcoming and their hospitality fantastic. Thanks for a great stay!
Review 87:This is a fabulous B&B. The location and views are great and the rooms were furnished to perfection. Everything was very well thought through and high in quality. The breakfasts were superb - probably the best I have every had at a B&B. I really liked the "light" option - so tasty. My only regret was that I was on a work trip and couldn't spend more time there!
Review 88:The view was amazing and the hosts were so helpful. We are glad we followed their recommendations of where to eat and their breakfast was lovely. Little extras made the whole thing even better, like cake on arrival and slippers in the room. Even the dog made us feel welcome.
Review 89:Nigel & Amanda were such welcoming hosts. They have a beautiful home in an absolutely stunning location - the biggest plus points being great parking and the amazing panoramic views from the balcony. Would recommend without hesitation !
Review 90:There is nothing they could have done better
Review 91:This is by far the best Bed and Breakfast establishment I have ever stayed in. Nigel and Amanda apply total attention to every detail. The rooms are excellent in everyway and are spotlessly clean. The breakfast is just out of this world with even the choice of fresh and poached fruit to start with. Nigel is such a good host and both should be very proud of their achievements and for me I cannot wait to go back if I can get in as this place is so popular
Review 92:Really can't think of anything that we didn't like.
Review 93:The house has been refurbished to an excellent standard, and great thought given to the experience and comfort of guests. Most of all we loved the friendly welcome and being genuinely made to feel that nothing was too much bother. Thank you. :)
Review 94:There is nothing to dislike about beacon house .
Review 95:Room was fantastic with a view to die for . The owners were loverly . The breakfast was unbeatable .
Review 96:My weight gain!
Review 97:Beacon House is not a "typical" B & B. It is far superior. From the outset, we were made to feel very welcome. Our room which had a balcony overlooking Brixham harbour was stunning. Spotlessly clean and really well equiped there was nothing left to wish for. With the chiller, we were able to keep our wine and soft drinks cold, along with bottled water which was supplied freshly every day. On returning to our room each day, there were fresh homemade cakes which were delicious. As has been mentioned on previous occasions, the breakfast is all that you could wish for and more. Nigel and Amanda were fabulous hosts. This is a B & B which the tourist board should use as a benchmark when rating other B & B's.
Review 98:we were made to feel very welcome. everyone very friendly and helpful. would recommend this to others . had a wonderful relaxing week. very comfortable clean accommodation in good location.
Review 99:Leaving!
Review 100:The whole experience was wonderful. Great hosts, magnificent views, and a fabulous breakfast. All in a beautifully detailed, comfortable room. Thanks Nigel & Amanda, we will definitely return.
Review 101:Nothing not to like!
Review 102:A really lovely place to stay with so many thoughtful personal touches. We were taken aback by the view, the fantastic breakfasts, the great decor and the comfy bed. Amanda and Nigel couldn't have been more friendly and helpful - after just two days it felt like we had known them for years!
