Sea lovers will relish staying at Devon’s Ranscombe House, a beautiful Georgian property overlooking Brixham and the scenic seafront of Torbay. Built for a ship’s captain and with nautical themes throughout, it is only five minutes’ walk from the beach and the town centre shops, bars and restaurants. Brixham Harbour holds a fascinating museum of naval history and a replica of Sir Francis Drake’s vessel The Golden Hind.
Ranscombe House provides top quality bed & breakfast accommodation with every possible comfort, from the super king-sized bed of the Admiral’s Suite to the snug lounge. There are eight delightful en suite bedrooms including five doubles and two family rooms, most with great views and the best of modern furnishings. There is a pleasant garden and a veranda which can be used at any time and private parking is provided.
As a bed & breakfast, Ranscombe House rates an enthusiastic ‘excellent’ rating on TripAdvisor, with satisfied customers greatly appreciating the location, cleanliness, service and value for money. They agree that the premises are most affably run by host Pip Easby, who offers a generous range of both cooked and other breakfast fare, including kippers, smoked salmon, scrambled egg and other choices on demand.
The property can also be let as a whole, for self-catering. Its spacious design and separate rooms make it ideal for mixed generations to get together for a week or long weekend. It sleeps up to 20.
