We did the Teignmouth round robin trip from Brixham. Great value trip. John our skipper was very knowledgeable and pointed out wildlife & rock formations as we sailed along the coast. After a few hours in Teignmouth we caught the train to Paignton where we got back on board to sail back to Brixham. John and Alvin were great & we wouldnt hesitate to book with them again. They are a small family business and deserve support in these difficult times.

We were recommended to go to the wine loft by friends who know the owners and we weren’t disappointed. Claire and her husband are incredibly knowledgeable about wine, I still dream about the Tasmanian pink champagne! We had such a great time we bought vouchers for my sister and brother-in-law to treat themselves and they too had a beautiful evening. Really different wines to try buy the glass and buy to take home as well as tasty Tapas, cheese, hams and olives. Their Covid routines make you feel very safe as well as warm and hospitable. This is a lovely place for a treat as well as just a pop in before you go home for supper in the evening. If you’re in Brixham a nearby, this is not to be missed.

Love Brixham Harbour, a classic English working Harbour surrounded with great pubs and restaurants. You can walk around either side and on discover more beautiful and amazing little beaches with lovely food huts etc. Walk the 1/2 mile breakwater, visit Shoalstone seawater pool, carry on to Berry Head or around past the Fishing boats Quay to Battery Gardens and Fishcombe cove. So much so close!

As someone who has been to hundreds of museums, this one is excellent. A Tardis-like gem, it has a wide variety of exhibits which are well presented. The text panels have just the right amount of detail. Children also seemed to be engaged by various objects on display. In COVID times, they have installed an easy-to-follow one way system, and they limit guest numbers on entry.
