Visited here midweek during the late August bank holiday break in Paignton. We booked in advanced and got a slight discount was around £60 odd pounds for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children). The site is huge and is a lot of up and down hill so wear comfortable shoes and prepare to walk. There are loads of animals, cafes, play areas for kids to enjoy and they really had a blast. We were tired by the end but was a great family day out, would recommend you visit here if you in or near to Paignton.

A great zoo with a large verity of animals a few of which wasn’t out for you to see but it wasn’t a massive issue. You can see some of the animals quite close up like the orangutans, lions, cheetahs, baboons etc. There is a lot of inclines if you’re someone with mobility issues you may struggle but it is well worth the money you pay to get in. There is a lot of tree coverage so you’re not baking in the sun while walking around. Would definitely recommend

Amazing zoo with fantastic staff. My 2 daughters ages 8 and 13 recently had a junior zoo keeper experience and they loved every minute of it. Jake, their experience guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and kept the girls engrossed for hours! Thank you Jake for a wonderful experience for the whole family!

We went on a cold damp drizzly day, so some animals weren't outside to see. Im disabled on a mobility scooter. Most of the park is accessible and robust scooters can be hired at the zoo. We were given a map and advised on the best route for mobility scooters. We ate food in the resaraunt. Food was good quality. The only fault was tables weren't cleaned so quickly so hard finding a clean table. We only had half a day here, so we zoomed round. On a nicer day and a leisurely stroll round, you coukd easily spend a whole day here. Animals get fed at certain times, so if you wish to see this, ask at entrance the timings, then you can adjust your route accordingly. We were particularly fascinated with the sloths. Never seen one in real life before, they are fun to watch. I would reccomend a visit, help support this lovely zoo to stay open.

A great day out, just enough to cover in an afternoon, with not too far between each area. A lovely range of animals of all kinds with good size enclosures for them. Lots of information available at each area. Food and drink onsite is great with a number of choices available. We stopped into the cafe area as the other ones around the zoo are closed out of high season.

We visited the zoo for my son’s 9th birthday and for an extra special treat we had arranged for him and his sister to do the giant tortoise experience. The zoo is clean and generally well maintained and the animals all seem content and we’re all out and about today. Their enclosures are natural and spacious with plenty of enrichment provided. The giant tortoise experience was great! My son loves them and wants to be a zoo keeper, so this was the perfect birthday treat! The keeper who led the experience, Jake, was brilliant! He was patient and relaxed and easy to talk to, he answered all the questions we had and provided lots of information to the children about the tortoises and the other animals he cares for. He was friendly and polite and really helped make the experience memorable, fun and informative, thank you! All the staff today were so helpful, from Jake to the welcoming staff at the entrance and even the staff in the restaurants and takeaway huts were great! We had a great day and my son said it’s been his best birthday yet, we love Paignton zoo anyway and have been many times before but today was really special, thank you!

The zoo is very large and it's easy to get lost, so I recommend bringing a pen to mark your location on the map you get at the entrance. Sometimes you need to spend more time seeing a particular animal because they're hidden in the bushes or in their huts. The terrain varies, and you often have to walk up or down a hill, so you'll have to take a few steps here, which I think is a plus. There are a lot of animals, but not all of them are necessarily 100% different. 😀😀

We spent a really nice evening at Rockfish and their mussels and ray were delicious. However, the crab salad was a bit disappointing similarly to the house salad which was just leaves and red onion. The service was okay but slightly scattered which culminated in one of the waiters spilling half of the sauce from the mussels on my lap. Normally I would expect a free drink or a discount on the dish but that did not happen. The views from the terrace were lovely and I added a star for that.

We had an excellent experience at Rockfish in Brixham Harbour with my wife and our Labrador, who was very well looked after. The menu offered plenty of tempting choices, and we especially liked how the waitress described the specials, circling and pricing them on the menu as she explained each dish – a nice personal touch. The food itself was excellent and beautifully prepared. While the prices felt a little on the high side (more like London prices), the quality and service made it worthwhile. Our server was outstanding – attentive, friendly, and very helpful in guiding us with our choices. It all made for a really enjoyable evening. As an added bonus, because we were renting a local fisherman’s cottage, our first drinks were complimentary, which was a lovely surprise. Rockfish is a great spot for excellent seafood, warm service, and a relaxed atmosphere with good views of the working harbour.

We had a lovely meal at Rockfish - the fish was so fresh and the waiter told us about all of the fish that was caught on the day. Sardines and calamari to start and the prawn tacos for main. We sat on the outside terrace, which is coveted and that was lovely. Would recommend.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Doesnt come much fresher than this as it is based at the harbour. Menu is varied on what comes in and is reasonably priced too. Being a Birmingham lad, I was amazed at how good the curry sauce was! We ate their twice in our 1 week stay in Brixham.

Served by a very happy friendly lady. We tried the haddock and chips takeaway, what a bargain for a tenner. Very good quality fish and chips, nicely cooked and a generous sized portion. Enjoyed every mouthfull. This was our first time here, will definitely be back for more.

After walking around town a few times checking the local menus I decided to go here. It’s got a nice deck out the back overlooking the harbour which is nice. It’s got an extensive fish menu so if that’s your thing this place is definitely for you. I couldn’t get past prawn tacos on the menu and I’m glad I picked it too. Yes! They were bloomin’ lovely! The staff are really friendly and the service was quick too.

Rockfish in Brixham is an absolute winner. The staff are superb, making you feel instantly welcome—plus, it's a huge bonus that they're dog-friendly. The fish is stunningly fresh; I had the John Dory, and my girlfriend had the monkfish, both of which were cooked perfectly. And seriously, the curry sauce is the best I've ever tasted. It was a beautiful experience from start to finish.

What a gorgeous stroll along a very scenic breakwater. If you love the sea and a stroll in the sun, moonlight etc then walking along the very pretty part of Britain should not be missed. Highly recommend it

Enjoyed a breezy walk along this stone pier to the lighthouse at the end. A smooth and level walkway constructed on top of granite boulders, with a low wall on the seaward side, it's half a mile long, built to protect the harbour from storms. The view, across the marina and harbour towards the colourful houses of Brixham rising in terraces up the hillside and perched high on the cliffs, was absolutely stunning! This is the best place to watch the steady traffic of small private yachts, excursion boats, and fishing trawlers come and go. Did not spot any seals, but they're not an uncommon sight in the harbour. There's a small beach next to the breakwater with beach huts, deckchair hire, a café, and toilets, and also a small parking area.

We were able to park easily - but be warned the spaces are tight and you must pay. The breakwater was an easy flat walk so doable for those with mobility difficulties. I sat for a bit on the benches below the main walkway it was so peaceful and the sea was calm a very pleasant place to relax and watch the world go by.

Lovely place to visit and have a good one walk around.

Brixham Breakwater is such a lovely spot for a walk the views out to sea are stunning and it’s so calm and peaceful. We were lucky enough to see seals while we were there, and they came really close to the edge, swimming around and popping their heads up such an incredible experience! The water is crystal clear, so you can see right down to the rocks, and it’s a great place to just stop and take it all in. There’s plenty of space to walk along, and it feels safe and well-kept. A must-visit if you’re in Brixham, especially if you love wildlife and being by the sea.

a beautiful long pier, perfect for a romantic walk or training, there are often fishermen standing on the sides, and nearby there is a nice beach with large stones on which you can easily walk

We had a brilliant time walking along Brixham Breakwater! The views across the harbour and out to sea are stunning, and the highlight was definitely spotting the local seals lounging on the rocks and swimming close to the wall. It’s an easy, scenic walk that’s great for all ages, and if you’re lucky enough to catch the seals, it really makes the visit memorable. A perfect spot for a relaxed stroll, photos, and a bit of wildlife watching in Brixham.

Truly unforgettable experience. Melt in your mouth steak. Hubby had trio of fish . Everything was top class . This is a must for anyone visiting brixham .

Lovely restaurant overlooking the harbour. Visited restaurant last year and this year was just as good. Presentation of food excellent. Steak was amazing- husband had trio of fish and thought these were slightly overcooked. Staff friendly and attentive . Would recommend if visiting Brixham.

Beautiful place by the harbour service 5 star 🌟 so helpful & friendly food absolutely gorgeous couldn’t do enough for us we recommend a visit soon 🥂♥️

I have reviewed Beamers absolutely favourably before - on TripAdvisor. During visits to Brixham this year, I have great meals in your restaurant and have reviewed accordingly. Was here yesterday evening. It was fine, if a little bit unatmospheric. However, what surprised me - and this is Brixham - is that there were no market specials on the menu. Really odd, in my opinion. The previous two evenings I had been to two other Brixham fish restaurants, and great market specials. I come to Brixham for fresh fish. To be fair, your Dauphinois potatoes are good 👍.

By far the best meal we had in Brixham! Great service, perfect food, good social distancing and tempurature checks at the door. The quality of the food was so high, you'd expect to pay twice the price for it. ~£120 for 4 people, 3 course meal, but the quality was that of a gourmet restaurant you'd pay much more for. Quick service and our waiter was very friendly. Vegan & vegetarian options. We had a set menu but called in advance to have a steak instead of fish (as there was no meat dish on the menu, and one of our party does not eat fish) - no problem at all. I can't reccomend this place enough. We will definitely be visiting again when back in Brixham!

Dreadful! On arrival ordered drinks -didn't arrive. Then the waitress came to take order, only they had forgotten to provide menu. Starter arrived and finished. They then decided to bring a basket of bread with one packet butter! The scallop starter was undercooked and sauce bitter in flavour. Forty five mins later … no main. By this time we were ready to leave. High prices- Food awful and service the worse ever. Empty restaurant yet staff not at all attentive and no real idea of good customer service. On leaving staff rude and expecting to be paid for food we hadn’t had on the basis “ we’ve cooked it now.” Don’t waste your money!

Best sea food I've ever had, 11/10 - mussels were insane

I stayed at The Railway Inn in Brixham for three nights and had a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely excellent—big thanks to the chefs for such delicious meals! The bar staff were also great, especially the friendly guy with dark hair who made us feel very welcome. The location is lovely, with a steam train passing by just outside the station – such a charming touch! There's also a bus stop right outside, which made getting around really easy. Overall, a warm, welcoming place with great service and food. Highly recommended!

Olivia, Layla & Steve were brilliant, Very welcoming and friendly. Excellent service. Great atmosphere. We had the Whistle Chicken (lush sauce) and the Liver, Bacon and Onion with mash (delicious). We're going back again tonight. Need I say more?👍

Having holidayed in and around the area for around 15 years we came in a few weeks ago for the first time! It is one of those places that you just sort of drive past on the way to places but we decided to give it a go. The service was absolutely brilliant, the gentleman that served us was a good laugh and very friendly. My sister asked for an iced tea which wasn't on the menu and so he googled, found out to make one and made her an absolutely delicious drink. Our meals were all lovely - the ploughman's was huge! The setting was clean and pleasant and we will definitely be back when we are in the area again!

Me and my husband (and dog Ruby) love to come here. Kim is just so lovely and we love it when she's on shift as she always makes us smile amd feel welcome. The food is always fantastic and the chefs do an incredible job. I normally get the steak and its always spot on and grateful for my change to their lovely potatoes from Chips. Thank you Kim and chefs. Kay

Just stayed here for the weekend, the staff were very welcoming, especially Stuart. Great location, and lovely, large rooms. Excellent freshly cooked food both at breakfast time and during the day.

The Sunday roast has completely changed and unfortunately not for the better. I used to to love this place and would even go out of my way to visit. What was once a unique roast with quality meats and veg is now on par with a low price carvery. (Had better carveries maybe add)

Stuart and his colleagues really looked after us. They’d been really busy with a big wake at the pub but very kindly made sure we got a good meal and also a good pint of Guinness. Very grateful to all the team for their hospitality.

i’ve been here around two times the first time I just had a little walk along the harbour and it is a very very beautiful place. Such a nice little town to wonder about him and then the second time I came for the pirate festival and it was packed, but it seems like such a fun community and such a lovely place to celebrate. I would definitely return and also recommend recommended to anybody else.!

Lovely place for a leisurely stroll, apparently you can't sometimes see seals basking on the pontoons - but none on duty when we were there! Lots of places to eat & drink, short stay car park has tight spaces but reasonable charges.

We have been here many times since our honeymoon 39 yrs ago. It’s a beautiful little town that’s not too commercialised and the shops have stayed the same. Lovely harbour with seals. Fab fish n chips. Great place both day and night. Very happy memories.

Absolutely stunning. We stayed here for 4 days recently and had the best time. Beautiful views, lovely restaurants and pubs and just a fab general atmosphere. Would totally recommend.

Full of eclectic food, shops and people. The best place to be on a wonderful sunny day. A lot of seaside towns need to learn from this beautiful area.

I went to Brixham on a coach trip with my social club. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of shops there from several charity shops to craft shops on the harbour side. Also a replica of the Golden Hind was interesting. I Would recommend a visit to Brixham if only for a few hours.

Lovely place to visit but car parking is sparce so get there early. Nice hut to buy food but expect the price to match the scenery. Lovely shops to visit and had my hair and beard cut. Made a good job and put more sprays and oils on my head than I've used in a year 😁. Had to have fish and chips and a dip in the ocean with the second family. Wonderful week which ended in Crewfest and my joining the RNLI ☺️

Great ship, not very expensive to go and see. It's great for kids to go. If you scan the QR code on your phone, it takes you to an audio guide, which is very informative.

I spent more than an hour exploring this museum ship, and found it to be both educational and fun! Bought my ticket at a little kiosk just in front of the ship, where you can also buy themed souvenirs. Admission is £8.95 for an adult, £6.95 for a child or a senior, and a family of four can get a combined ticket for £24.95. The tour is self guided, but there's an optional audio guide included in the price of your ticket that you can play on your smartphone, accessed via a QR code on the ship. I boarded the Golden Hind - a replica, but a very convincing one! - along a gangplank. It's a well constructed vessel with cannons, artefacts, and furniture specially created to look just how the originals would have looked. Some good audio-visuals, waxworks, and interactive displays. There was lots of printed info about Sir Francis Drake's adventurous life and voyages, his crew, the food they ate, medical treatments, punishments, piracy, and the unbelievably harsh conditions they endured on board. Be aware that you'll have some steep steps to climb to get to the upper decks and Drake's cabin, and some even steeper steps to negotiate to go down below decks where you'll also have to mind your head. There are fantastic views of the town and harbour from the upper decks, and wonderful photo opportunities! I liked the fact that I could explore the ship at my own pace. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and learned a lot about both Drake and this fascinating period of our history. Definitely worth a look!

We stayed the night on The Golden Hind - it was AWESOME!! Proper inner child stuff for adults and the actual kids loved it. Couldn't recommend it more.

Well what can I say about this fantastic ship. I must say if it was up 2 hubby we wouldn't of gone on once seeing the price. Think for 2 adults and child plus a hat and sword it was around £25. We entered on the ship thinking it would just be the top deck you explored but no its the whole of it. I can honestly say I don't know who had more fun us or our little one who didn't want to get off and also wanted to go back on everyday. We loved finding the little stamps and getting our little price at the end of it. Would highly recommend this x

We found the Brixam town full with people enjoying the Brixam Pirate Festival . 100% is one of the best places to spend a good time with friends and family

All the time I lived locally I never bothered to go on this ship, I always assumed it was a walk around the deck. However, now I live away and have a 2yr old boy who is into pirates and keen to go on board I figured why not…. And glad I did! You have to pay via the cabin at the front where you’re given permission to jump aboard. The first 10 mins is spent exploring the upper decks and the Captain’s quarters which is both fun and interesting. One thing I would say is if you’re not good with ladders or very steep stairs then maybe give this a swerve as they can be very, very steep… as to be expected really! You get to go below decks which I never realised before, lots to take in and great for kids! You can also sort of walk the plank which is a laugh. If you’re with kids then I’d say deffo go for it, you might even get some treasure at the end!

A thoroughly enjoyable excursion around this famous and iconic ship. The information and facts on-board add to the overall experience, helping to bring it to life and cement the knowledge gained during the visit. You get a real sense of life on-board this 500 year old ship. Great way to learn and explore.

We had one large and one regular cod and chips. Very nice, the fish was lightly battered. Only downside is the seating isn't very comfy.

We had takeaway and sat outside the restaurant, ordered a large fish to share and it was amazing! Incredibly fresh and nice fish. Chips could need some improvement but not terrible! Would’ve been nice if there was some shade outside, especially on such a hot day

The fish was delicious with crisp thin batter and lovely flaky meat. It was certainly up there with some of the best I've had. The same goes for the chips and peas, these were delicious too and couldn't fault them. I only gave 3 stars for the service as the young girl that served me was quite miserable and not very pleasant when being served. I know this is subjective and it doesn't take away from the fact the food was delicious.

Visited in August, hubby had the special (cod, chips & curry sauce) absolutely delicious freshly cooked fish with superb batter and very tasty chips. I had the mini fish, chips & peas which was also delicious. Would not go anywhere else in Brixham, infact we’re going again tomorrow!

Five dined on Sunday teatime. Excellent juicy fish and home cut chips, both delicious and tasty. Curry sauce was lovely too. Staff were extremely helpful but not over the top, took our order, brought out our food and drinks and checked everything was OK a few minutes later. Would definitely be back.

Really delicious fish and chips, some of the best I've had in ages! We had the fish, chip and mushy pea special which was great value and cooked really well - Crispy batter, really fresh fish and lovely chips. The service was efficient and friendly and our food came out quickly. The view from upstairs was lovely too.

Really great first floor restaurant with comfy booths & fab views out over the harbour. Had the ‘small’ fish, chips & peas (£8.99) which was as much as I could eat for lunch! Superb fresh cod in a gorgeous dry, crispy batter, served with high quality confinements & a wedge of fresh lemon. Brilliant & speedy service too, so overall, an truly excellent experience! Thank you 🙏

I recently visited a cozy, dog-friendly bistro in Brixham with a pleasant upstairs seating area that offers a view of the marina and the town's colorful houses. I stopped in for a coffee and a slice of cake on my way home. The creme brûlée was served still flaming, adding a subtle theatrical touch, and it tasted nicely rich. The passionfruit cheesecake was equally enjoyable. Overall, it’s a straightforward spot to relax and treat yourself, especially if you’re traveling with your dog.

We popped down with the kids, as they always have so much fun splashing and playing in the water. It’s such a lovely spot for families to relax and enjoy the day. This time, we decided to treat ourselves to some crab sandwiches, and they did not disappoint — fresh, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. Combined with the friendly atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, it made for a really enjoyable afternoon. We’ll definitely be coming back

The Breakwater Bistro is an absolute gem of British dining. The fish arrives encased in a light, golden batter—crisp, delicate, and utterly flawless—enveloping the freshest, most flavourful fillet one could hope for. Each bite is a masterclass in balance: a whisper of the sea, encased in perfection. The chips, too, are a triumph: beautifully crisp on the outside, fluffy within, and seasoned with just the right touch. Service here is exemplary—warm, attentive, and effortlessly professional. My partner and I travelled over 200 miles for what we had been promised was the finest fish and chips in the United Kingdom, and The Breakwater Bistro did not disappoint. Indeed, it exceeded all expectations. And then came dessert, which elevated the experience even further. The waffles were warm, soft, and gently crisp at the edges, a perfect canvas for indulgence. I savoured the Terry’s Chocolate Orange creation—an exquisite balance of rich cocoa and zesty citrus—while my partner delighted in the Strawberry Meringue, a symphony of airy crunch, ripe fruit, and silky cream. Both were exemplary, executed with finesse and presented with an elegance that transformed classic comfort into culinary artistry. A true delight from start to finish, and unquestionably worthy of every mile travelled. The Breakwater Bistro is highly recommended to anyone in pursuit of the very best Britain has to offer.

Very beautiful views . Food ok but only had garlic bread and cheesy chips . Hubby had king prawns and he passed a comment that they was good . Staff very polite and helpful

We visited this restaurant whilst on holiday and chose it due to having some dog friendly tables, excellent views and good reviews. We weren’t disappointed. The food is wonderful. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The beach location and views are amazing, particularly if you get a window table at sunset! Booking advised as this restaurant very popular. Their outside seating and hatch food and drink service was also very busy, offering a different menu but clearly very popular. There is a small car park outside (with multi-story next to it).

Breathtaking view and delicious food with a great service. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Really enjoyed a seafood lunch here, had the fisherman's salad, and two of the specials - plaice and sea bass. Salad was great, lots of prawns, crab and smoked salmon. Specials were good but veg was just plain boiled, could have been a bit more adventurous. Lobster sauce was very nice though. Very relaxing on the upper floor overlooking the bay and harbour, with a good selection of beers also.

This is a most spectacular place to visit! Beautiful rugged cliff edge landscapes with evidence of the old fortifications. Wildlife in abundance... we are birders and were blown away by the birds we saw. There is something for everyone here.. if you just want to amble around fine, if you want to bird watch fine, if you want to walk your dog, jog, picnic... no problem. The cafe serves exquisite food and drink at reasonable prices and despite the queue it was fast table serviceboth inside or out. We can't wait to come back again 🤗.

I’m new to this area and my boyfriend rang me because I do love some nice views and it was very very beautiful. I do recommend going there. It’s a nice walking spot picnic spot. It’s just very pretty.

Amazing place with a variety of walks, short one to the headland with outstanding views and wheelchair accessible. Lovely cafe with really nice staff. We were lucky to have a stunning day and even saw dolphins off the coast.

The beautiful 360 degree view of the sea with breathtaking landscapes, this one's a must visit and if you're there make sure you visit The Guardhouse Cafe. I loved their "Soup of the day" and cream tea 😋

great place I recommend, there are paths wide for a stroller and for a disabled person.beautiful sea views

What a beautiful place. Great place to wander about, explore the ruins and take in the stunning views.

Nice, scenic, quiet (most if the year) place to get away from it all in Brixham. A café too.

Great place to come and see. Well appointed inside and some fantastic views. There is not a lot of parking available onsite. Some lovely spots to picnic and have some longish walks along the coast.

A wonderful experience to visit this ancient castle going back to 1388! Fantastic views of the estuary and Dartmouth town from here. You can get a small boat from the town to the castle and a return which makes the visit even better. Walking time is about 20 minutes. It is also possible to park next to the castle but spaces are limited but there is a car park near by. Stunning place and highly recommended!

Great place to visit for all ages. Took the lower ferry across the river. Lots of great information boards and things for the kids to touch/experience. Awesome views across the river. Cafe on site and lovely people/guides who were very friendly. The church at the end was beautiful and was a somber moment for all that have departed this life. Would recommend for family's to spend a couple of hours here.

One of the most stunning castles in Devon. The views are absolutely stunning, gorgeous coastal walk to sugary cove. Have been quite a few times and it's breathtaking. The cafe is ridiculously expensive though and parking is very limited with only 5 spaces

Welcoming the returning sailors or defending the town Dartmouth castle remains today a distinctive fortification matched by its twin on the Kingswear shore. A good walk down the River Dart from the town centre you can refresh and refill yourself at the welcoming cafe. From the castle rest and enjoy extensive views seaward and watch yachts coming and going. Children will enjoy exploring the castle and be refreshed for their townward return walk. You can drive out to the castle but the road is narrow and parking limited. Toilets are available for the visitors.

Ideal day out and walk around lovely Dartmouth.Castle did not have a lot but showed our defences over 200 years and more recently for second world war.Not sure if I would go again but nice experience

Lovely place next to the sea and river. Great cafe and nice castle experience of you want to take the tour. Some nice little coves nearby within walking distance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic spot in the heart of Brixham! We had a brilliant meal at The Old Market House – the setting by the harbour is beautiful, with lovely views of the colourful hillside houses and boats bobbing on the water. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh seafood, perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Service was top class, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We sat upstairs in the dog free area and really enjoyed the atmosphere – very relaxed. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Brixham. A real gem! Shout out to our server Joy, what an incredible person with great chat!

Well appointed restaurant/bar on Brixham harbour. Spacious dining area over 2 floors including a first floor balcony, with fantastic views over the quayside and harbour. We visited on a Sunday evening and it was fairly busy, but no wait for a table. Our steaks were cooked as requested and were tender and tasty. Meal was well presented. Service on arrival was a little slow but once we ordered the food arrived promptly. Would definitely visit again.

My husband and myself went in for Sunday lunch today and it was amazing. The quality of food and amount of food was outstanding. Excellent value for money and delicious. Service was very quick considering how busy it was and Analicia couldn't be more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend the old market house, definitely worth a visit. 10/10 👍

Such a lovely spot. The food was amazing, the view was gorgeous and our server Analicia was so friendly and went above and beyond. Will definitely return next time we’re in Brixham! :)

Arrived for a couple of hours in Brixham and you guessed, it started to rain. Made a quick dash into the first place we came to which just happened to be Old Market House. So we decided to have some lunch. O/h had calamari with a sweet chilli mayo which he said was divine. I had a classic prawn cocktail which again was delicious. We both opted for the scampi and chips and it didn't disappoint. Prices are on the high side but well worth it. The appearance of Black Heart made the afternoon! Would we come again - absolutely!

We had a gorgeous meal couldn't fault anything. At a push only thing I would mention is wine a bit overpriced but hey ho we are on holiday 😀

We went for Sunday lunch on a very wet day in Brixham! Sunday Roast was amazing. Generous portions and a big bowl of veg to share and extra jugs of gravy. Friendly staff and good service. Great location in the heart of the harbour. We will return!

Such a lovely place ! I ate here one evening during my vacation. I had the table right next to the window overlooking the harbor, accompanied by a candle. It made my experience even more warm and cozy. I had the scallops main dish and I really enjoyed it. The scallops were very well cooked and the sauce was delicious. I was also able to talk to the owners who told me anecdotes and gave me advice on the region. I 100% recommend this place, you will absolutely not regret it! Thank you again for this moment, I had a great evening !

We stumbled across Crusoe's whilst staying in Brixham on holiday. This really is a hidden gem, tucked away above the harbour. The menu is relatively small and includes a lot of seafood, but it is top quality. We visited as a family of 5 and had a 7 year old with us. There isn't a specific children's menu, but the chef can adapt a meal. I ordered the hot rock rump steak, which was a real novelty. The steak was delicious and really good quality and the chips were amazing! Our party also ordered the meatball lignuine, mushroom linguine and the pulled pork burger. All of the options were delicious. There was a good variety of drinks to accompany the meal. For dessert we chose the choc pot and crumble, again, both were delicious. The staff were very attentive and welcoming, taking time to chat with you and have a joke, which made the experience even better.

Embraced to to that this was our fist visit to Crusoes tonight, as locals, but wow just had to let everyone know what a fabulous meal great service and already booked for next week. Crab linguine was stunning and large portion, Hot rock fillet just delicious. Highly recommend 👌

As a couple we was delighted to find this restaurant. Although it was very quiet we had decided to give it a try. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We had the Brixham Chowder and the Scallops with black pudding for starter, and both were perfectly cooked( the scallops were so tender they practically melted in the mouth, mains we had the Dover sole and also the Hake with a scallop and Irish champ instead of new potato, which was absolutely wonderful and made perfectly. It was a shame that they only opened Tuesday to Saturday although it was very early on the season. So we both had a good time with adequate quantity of good food.

What a lovely restaurant, very friendly accommodating staff/owners and absolutely delicious food. Attention to detail and nothing was too much trouble; an absolute hidden gem in Brixham with a beautiful view, well worth a visit

I had the prawns and me and my friend said they were absolutely delicious. The staff there are amazing and so kind the atmosphere in there is top notch and the wine selection is amazing. 10/10 do recommend x

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Brixham. We've been here two weeks and chose Crusoes for our last evening meal because they offer a lot of gluten free choices, alongside their main menu. The service was spot on, the food was delicious and the atmosphere and views were fabulous. Food was cooked to order and for 2 adults and 2 teens, there was enough choice that we were all happy. The gluten free eater amongst us was also very well fed. We are hoping to come back to Brixham next year and if we do, we will definitely be coming back to eat at Crusoes.

Stayed for 2 nights on a Travelzoo deal, good value for money. Our room was on the top floor and large in size, with a great view and the heating certainly works but in need of a refresh/update. Good clean bathroom with a good working shower but not much space around the toilet. Staff were great, really friendly, polite and caring. The dining room looks to have recently been updated and is very welcoming. Food was very good although some of the advertised starters were not available. Good selection on the wine menu.

Really friendly and helpful staff, from the front office to the breakfast staff. Everyone greeted you with a smile The location is great but the hotel needs some money spent on it. We had a very noisy room, floor boards upstairs and below made a lot of noise and the doors also slam whenever closing. The shower was good but the bathroom smelt and bit of cigarettes

The hotel is very overdue for a refurb. Probably should have been done 5 years ago. Clean but worn out. Excellent location, great view, friendly staff and handy parking. It’s let down by the restaurant. Slow service and absolutely tiny portion of fish. When I complained to Jacqui she said you “you don’t get big place round here” Not true. Brixham prides itself on its great fresh fish which we had in other local restaurants. Breakfast was VERY slow and not good when it eventually arrived. Under cooked and poor quality. Sorry Quayside Hotel but is only 2 Stars from us.

On arrival hotel very well presented staff very welcoming and as my partner is disabled they were very helpful we parked outside the hotel and unloaded then returned to the hotel car park ( 5 minute walk away ) we had food in the restaurant and the service was fantastic, restaurant decor lovely maybe not to everyone’s taste but we loved it. Meals were lovely and highly recommend the burgers home made and so much flavour. Nothing else to add other than I will definitely return and 100% recommend to anyone . Thank you Mr A Owen

We had a lovely stay here. Staff were polite and efficient, room very clean and pleasantly finished, restaurant very good and the location is well located. Only two minor negative points. The rooms are not huge and we had one of the best rooms overlooking the harbour. The parking is a bit of a walk away. They can't be blamed for either of these and they certainly wouldn't put us off staying there again.

The room as shown was so outdated and shabby. It was so small with just a double bed, the smallest bathroom and a TV that only worked part of the time. On the other hand the restaurant was excellent. Be aware the pictures on their website are no where near what you can expect when booking a room here.

We headed down to Brixham for a well neede break, and to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Staying in the Quayside Hotel, it was a great base for us to walk around the town and explore the area. This was back in August, and the two things that really stick in my mind is the service and the view from the room. Every member of staff we spoke to was super friendly and eager to help. When we had an issue with our shower, the hotel called a plumber who was with us within half an hour. He fixed it, and we were still able to carry on with our plans that night without too much disruption. The breakfasts finished at 10am, it was cooked well and we had our own tables booked, so everything was super clean. There was a pub connected to the hotel too which was good value and a really nice place to chill in the evening before heading upstairs. Unfortunately the hotel is about four buildings cobbled together, so this is most probably not a good hotel if you have mobility issues as there are A LOT of stairs. It's an old building, there is not much to work with on that side of things. The interior looks like it could really do with a refresh. As we walked along some of the corridors there were occasionally strange smells, the carpet looked in places, like it could do with a proper refresh. But as a hotel, we'd return. The views are amazing if you can get a harbour view.

Crowded but nice restaurant. Terrace just by the beaches walkway. Seating uncomfortable for enjoying slow dinner but nice for a quick one. Half self service. Online or “at bar” ordering. Cutlery, salt, pepper, vinegar and similar stuff available on a self pickup spot. Many dishes available. Traditional fish and chips portions is big and very delicious. The best I had on the weekly trip. Beer selection as usual in England- extraordinary for Europe 🙃 Very recommend. Bcwyl ☠️

The pub is located by a he quay and has a good outdoor seating facilities so if the weather is good this is the best place to come and have a spot of lunch the staff are very friendly and the service is spot on We ordered food which you have to go to the bar and get your table number Checked inside the pub and it was empty as the weather was nice everyone was outside The food is reasonably priced When you eat outside do mind the sea gulls I would recommend this place it is nice and just worth for the service they give and the taste of the food is nice too with massive portions

Monday 22/09/25 between 15.00 and 16.30. Ordered drinks for outside table. Waited 15 minutes, nothing arrived. Went to bar and asked where were my drinks. He said, ‘sorry, as you can see I’ve been backed up. The other three staff members present were busy doing nothing. Advice? Don’t offer a service if you can’t supply it (Wetherspoons have never failed to deliver my Order to a table). Also, empty glasses on most tables. I watched customers clearing glassware themselves. Not our job!

We booked a table adding notes that we were bringing two large but well behaved dogs and upon arrival the team had a table ready fitting for the dogs to relax and not be in the way. Mike served us and made our evening very relaxing and enjoyable. He greated us with a smile and couldn't do enough to help us or the dogs. Mike was well informed on gluten-free and able to give me confidence in what I was eating (I'm coacliac). The food was really good, steak was cooked perfectly. I couldn't recommend this place enough!

What a great gem in Brixham! Managed by an Italian who’s turned British pub life to another level à la Crazy Bear style! Enjoy the sunshine and harbour views from the large terrace from the morning until the sun sets. Enjoy the great choice on the menu, I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu from what we’ve tasted… the steak was very well cooked and was accompanied by the most delicious oven baked vine tomatoes, the stake and ale pie was very yummie and accompanied by a very delicious oven baked cauliflower cheese and perfectly cooked seasonal veg. The Thai fish cakes were delicious and there’s even a great food menu for dogs! The icing on the cake was the best Irish Coffee in town made by their super friendly barman Mike. He makes a great Espresso Martini too! P.S. you must try the onion rings, probably the best we’ve ever tasted!

Had a lovely dinner at Prince William Brixham. We phoned an hour before and they were able to accommodate two dogs and were super welcoming when we arrived. Knowledgeable on gluten free options and food was great. Mike our server was super attentive and made our evening. Thank you!

Great tuesday curry night. £30 for 2 including a drink. Good food, excellent customer care (I am on crutches...front of house opened door for me, and changed her seating plan, so we could have a table I could access easily) cheerful staff. Oh and great trifle! A great budget night out...do visit.
