Pip and his staff make this b&b they are friendly and welcoming. Check in is 3 put you can park in their car park from 10 onwards. Great choice of breakfast. Rooms are equipped with hairdryer bathrobe and tea and coffee making facilities Location is perfect short walk down the hill down some steps and your on the harbour. When we next return to Brixham we will definitely book here again. Tip. Don’t park under the tree

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.

We’ve just returned from our 3rd visit to this B&B having previously stayed in various places around the harbour over many years. It’s a beautiful old house with loads of character in the perfect spot for a view over Brixham, a couple of minutes walk down the hill and you’re in the harbour. The on site parking is a huge plus in Brixham. We were a group of 5 this time with our 2 children 17 and 14 and our sons’ school friend 15 & our dog. The bunk room was perfect for the boys and as the smallest of the rooms available you get use of the cosy separate lounge downstairs. My wife and I and our daughter stayed in Crows Nest 1 at the top of the house. I had to laugh at an earlier review slating this room for the low ceiling beams which gives it so much character. At 6 foot 2 it didn’t bother me at all. Hard to imagine a better host than Pip. Very welcoming with a great knowledge of the area. Nothing too much trouble and he cooks a superb breakfast to order, around ample choice for uncooked options if that’s your preference. The Honesty Bar is a nice touch, help yourself and write down whatever you have for payment when you leave, adds to the homely/welcoming feel of the place. We’ll be back…again!

Beautiful house built in 1750, we had a lovely short break, Pip the owner is very welcoming, informative and a great chef, Breakfast was gorgeous, fresh and plentiful with a great selection of local produce to choose from at a time you want it. The Rooms are also Beautiful, clean and of a very high standard, the bed and pillows were so comfortable I have come home and ordered the exact same mattress and pillows after having a sneaky look at the make., great location overlooking the gorgeous Brixham harbour. We will definately return and recommend to family and friends.

We had a lovely 3 night stay, really pleasant owner, breakfast was very nice lots of choice and great service by friendly staff. Lovely room, crisp bedding, lots of storage. and very clean and new bathroom. The place runs like a well oiled machine very organised but not regimented. We will definitely return when we come back to Brixham.

Spent Twixmas at Ranscombe House. The warmest of welcomes, beautiful house, amazing bedroom (Admirals Suite), fab enclosed garden for the dog and an excellent cooked to order breakfast. Highly recommend. having on site parking is a bonus but don't park under the tree, not sure what lives in it but its messy! Fotos are back of house and view from bedroom.

This was a return visit, because we enjoyed this place so much before. Ranscombe House is in perfect stop, only a short walk from the bustling harbourside of Brixham. Ranscombe house is a beautiful old building, that has great decor. The rooms are very comfortable & spotlessly clean. Ranscombe's breakfast is a touch of class, great menu, all individually cooked fresh. This place has friendly staff that can't do enough, it is also great value for money & we'll be returning.
