Ranscombe House

warm welcome from Pip, nothing too much trouble and good knowledge of area. non intrusive but available if needed - great breakfast!

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, superb room, great nights sleep followed by a great breakfast and Pip was a wonderful host.

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.

Lovely welcome from Pip on arrival shown where to go for breakfast which was delicious Set off main road had a lovely garden area that guests could use. Room was lovely and tastefully decorated Within easy walking distance back into the town.

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.

We found the service to be very good as with the breakfast and overall package. This is not the case for the ‘bunk room’ with bunk beds that have all the appeal of a mortuary slab. I think the owners realise it’s pretty ordinary and it needs some work, it’s arguably over priced.
