Perfect holiday stay

Trade wind is right in the harbour with shops and restaurants also on the doorstep. It was a perfect place to unwind. It is a quaint fishing cottage with a nautical theme and lots of original features. There’s a lovely cosy atmosphere. The views from the main bedroom are amazing. We felt right at home here and would love to return.

We had a wonderful stay. It's a beautifully presented cottage. The best we've ever rented in Brixham The kitchen is well equipped for 4 & more. The twin & double rooms have very comfortable pillows and mattresses. The free internet is good. Staircases from the kitchen upto the 3 other floors are fairly steeper but typical of these cottages. However the bannisters and handrails make the process easier. Many thanks to Jo & Lee for a wonderful stay.

Trade Winds

The property was set near to the harbour and close to road and car parks (also Rock Fish). Very enjoyable stay, and Brixham is a nicely chilled resort. Weather a bit changeable and more like late Spring than early Summer. Only downside was the conflicting stories of whether the tap water in the area had been flushed out of its germ which was giving people in the locality s & d, and whether the harbour area was 'clear'. Assurances that it was by hosts and some of the restaurants, but then an area near the harbour was still giving out bottled water to the public and officials of SW water were waffling. But that and 1 day of heavy rain were the only drawbacks. Certainly want to come back another time, could be a regular thing.

Excellent location, fantastic cottage and wonderful welcome!

We have stayed at many VRBOs over the years and this is definitely one of our top ones. The cottage has a great location for accessing everything Brixham has to offer. The cottage is tastefully and beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a relaxed holiday. Add to this the warm welcome we received from the hosts with homemade scones, jam and cream and you have the makings of a perfect holiday.

Quaint Brixham Cottage

Loved our week at Trade Winds. The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything you could possibly need. Superb views from the top floor bedroom window of Brixham harbour, even binoculars are provided. Good directions from the owners on how to get to the cottage and good advice to pre-book 8 day Torbay council parking permit which we were able to use in Brixham/Paignton/Torquay. We hope to stay again in the future. Thank you Tradewinds.

Lovely house

Trade Winds is a lovely 4 storey house. The stairs are narrow and steep but there are hand rails on both sides that make the climb safe and easy. Very nicely decorated. Beds are very comfortable and lovely bed linen, duvets and pillows. Views from the bedroom windows are great. Location is perfect - 2 mins walk to the harbour, shops, restaurants and bars. Seagulls are a bit noisy but that is what you get by the sea and harbour! Welcome pack of scones, jam, cream and milk is thoughtful, thank you. We had a wonderful stay in Brixham and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property.
