The Melville Guest House

I’m so glad we decided on the Melville for our first stay in lovely Brixham. Colin and Jackie were perfect hosts, super friendly, fun and helpful with loads of helpful tips and advice, just lovely people. The hotel is clean and spotless, has great facilities and is just a few minutes walk down to the harbour. Another big plus about the Melville are the fabulous breakfasts, cooked individually to perfection by Colin. They also catered for my wife who is gluten intolerant. You fill out a breakfast form the day before with what you would like, along with a time slot, and it is brought out to your table shortly after you sit down. Parking is great too with spaces on the front. I’d recommend booking directly through their website as this is cheaper than going through a booking company. Highly recommended, and we hope to stay here again in the future.

Just completed our third stay at this great B & B where Colin and Jackie make you feel very welcome. The rooms are spotless, the breakfast is excellent and the location is ideal for the town, harbour and buses to other resorts. A big plus is also the free parking just outside the front door and the location on the main road access to the town. We also visit for the excellent local restaurants and pubs, which offer something for everyone. We particularly loved At Thai, Olive and The Golden Lion to name just a few. We will certainly be back again.

First visit to The Melville. We stayed in the Superior room at the end of June for a 3 day break at our favourite harbour town, Brixham. Loved the room and its own lounge! Colin and Jackie are perfect hosts, from start to finish. Friendly, helpful, great breakfast service and food, 😋. This will be our go-to place to stay when we next visit the area. Recommended
