Our 5oom was spotlessly clean with a large very comfortable bed. Soft white towels changed every other day. We.had the excellent Full English breakfast each day - would recommend. Jackie and Colin were excellent hosts
The ensuite bathroom was spotlessly clean but lacked shelf space to put our own toiletry bits and pieces. Could have done with hooks on the back of the door to hang clothing on

The matress was firmer than we would like, we prefer a softer matress

Breakfast was excellent with a great choice of foods. Ideal breakfast booking form idea.
Our room had everything we needed, Bathroom was a little awkward due building design, but all functional and super clean.
Low ceilings in the loo area ... caused problems if you forgot sloping ceiling.

What can I say? Such a lovely B&B. The room was beautiful and very clean. The breakfast was great with a good selection of everything.
Jackie and Colin went over and above to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we need. They were extremely fantastic hosts, very attentive, great service and lovely people.
For those who have concerns about Covid, you can be assured that every guidance is followed to the letter and carefully thought out processes are in place.
After everything such businesses have been through in the last 18 months or so I would urge anyone wanting to visit Brixham to stay at The Melvillle and support such a lovely family run business.
All in all Colin and Jackie made our first trip away for so long very welcoming and comfortable.
Would highly recommend and give 5 starts.
Thank you so much Jackie and Colin for a great stay. We hope to visit again soon.

Jackie and Colin are a delightful couple who made us feel very welcome. The Melville is a short walk out of the middle of town and we were delighted to find a wee parking space outside the front! Breakfast was delicious and our room was big enough to include a couple of armchairs and extremely comfortable and clean. Thank you for making us so welcome!
