Guest：Our first stay at The Melville and certainly won't be the last. Lovely warm welcome from Colin and Jackie who are really nice, down to earth people. Or room was spotlessly clean, fresh nice smelling bedding and towels, mini fridge and plenty of storage space with 2 chairs to relax in aswell. The breakfast room was clean and you weren't on top of other guests. Lovely cooked breakfast by Colin, and Jackie runs the breakfast room like clockwork. Again, everything is spotlessly clean. We had a room at the front which is on the main road into Brixham so there is some road noise, but the benefit is that it is literally a 5 minute flat walk into town and the harbour. There is also free parking either on-site, a garage to the rear of the property or a 1 minute drive from the back of the property off road in a private car park for which you receive a pass. Both Colin and Jackie are helpful, friendly and run their guesthouse really well. We will definitely return.

Guest：We stayed for two nights to attend a rowing competition. We stayed in the suite which was really spacious and had a huge bed! The whole guest house is spotlessly clean and our suite the same! The owners are really friendly and lovely people, nothing was too much for them to do for us. I needed an early breakfast and the owners obliged by sorting this for me! There is a lot of choice for breakfast and it was top quality both mornings. There is off road parking which was really useful and we did not hear overnight noise from the road. We will definitely stay here again went next in Brixham and we highly recommend Melville! Thank you

Guest：Enjoyed a 6 day stay at the Melville, the room was spotlessly cleaned and comfortable, the breakfast was great with a large selection, Jackie and Colin were the perfect hosts, just a short walk to the harbour, definitely go back if I'm in Brixham again.

Guest：The Melville Guest House is in a great location. It is on the main road so do expect a little traffic noise. The room we had was perfectly acceptable for a 2 night stay, it was spotlessly clean and well prepared with fresh milk in the fridge, tea, coffee etc but a little compact (room 1). If staying more than a couple of nights it may feel cramped. That said the room was well presented, the hosts Colin and Jackie were very attentive, eager to give information on local attractions. Breakfast was well presented and tasty with choices of cereals and cooked options.
