Ranscombe House

Just perfect

Really lovely location, parking, lovely breakfast, a room with a stunning sea view and a super host. Will definitely come back here again :-)

Excellent stay the room the location,the view the breakfast was all brilliant .We will highly recommend and return

The hotel is in a great position, only a couple of minutes to walk to the Coastal Path, Marina and into the town. PiP could not have been more helpful, and the room was very nice, with fabulous views.

We visited Brixham for a three night stay to celebrate our anniversary, This property was previously 8 bedroom that has been transformed into a 9 bedroom, a quite acceptable skippers suite seems to have been made into two rooms, one is now the nautical room , again an acceptable room even if no sea view,you do get a duel aspect of property’s garden. Unfortunately we found ourselves in the other room of the skippers transformation, this is now called the skippers room, the worst room at the property, very small with a view of the neighbours lounge, small double bed,no room for bedside tables ,one table lamp on top of wardrobe , the worst feature is the on- suite, a shower so small a average size person would find it difficult to turn round, the shower cubicle door hits the small hand washing sink, protected by strips of rubber glued to the surfaces, on exiting the shower absolutely no room to dry yourself,had to open the door to find some space, Please if you are booking this property,don’t opt for the Skippers room,completely not fit for purpose, I understand that people are looking to make money in these difficult times but this type of room conversion is not the way, A word on the breakfast , a previously decent meal with quality back bacon reduced to a slice of cheap streaky was typical of cost cutting, The owner Pip is a charming man who I hope can reflect on his changes, although I did notice the pirates hat hung in the hall

The feeling you get at Ranscombe house from the minute you arrive is that this is a warm and friendly place and that much attention to detail has gone into creating that. We were met by host Pip who showed us around and made sure we knew we could contact him if there was anything we needed. Toffees in the hallway, two small but comfortable lounge areas downstairs, hot drinks in the bedroom, an honesty bar in the dining room and an invitation to make ourselves at home, were all appreciated. We had a very clean room with the most comfortable bed and lovely bedding. Walking in to the room to a sea view at sunset was magical as was waking up to it in the morning. …As was starting the day with a, beautifully cooked to order, large choice hot breakfast and accompanying choices of cereals etc.. We were also really impressed with how warm, thoughtful, kind and friendly the two members of staff we met at breakfast, Jo and Grant, were too. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Sensitive too to some of us not being very awake in the morning. They both appeared as if they enjoyed their work and genuinely want you to relax and enjoy your stay. The B&B is very well situated. An easy walk into town and the harbour, yet quiet enough to hear the birds in the morning. A huge bonus was the off road car park and as Pip warned us about parking under the bird tree, the car stayed clean and safe there. Should we return to Brixham we would most definitely stay at Ranscombe House.
