After a day by the sea, look forward to sinking into the luxurious La-Z-Boy electric reclining chair in the plush sitting area, where you can unwind in front of the 65” Smart TV or enjoy a movie night with the DVD player. When the evening draws to a close, retire to one of the three immaculate bedrooms.

Choose from two king-size bedrooms, both boasting Smart TVs for those lazy mornings in bed or opt for the inviting twin room, also equipped with a Smart TV. Serving the bedrooms is a sleek bathroom, a haven of relaxation, featuring underfloor heating, a luxurious bath, and a spacious walk-in shower that will rejuvenate your senses.

The cleverly placed lights create a soothing ambience, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the local area. In the warmer months, step outside, where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the patio or decking area, or simply relax on the lawn.

As the evening grows darker, gather around the chiminea for warmth and an evening star gaze, or savour a moment of relaxation to indulge in a soothing soak in the hot tub. Listen out for the resident owl.

Rockland House Reviews

We were met on arrival and was shown how to use the hot tub and heating within the house. The house was as described. It was very clean and tidy. Very spacious giving 6 adults plenty of space. The hot tub was great to use. The only little thing was parking. Having 3 vehicles it was easy to park but very little turning space and due to the location you are unable to reverse down the drive or up the drive is it is is tight for larger cars. I definitely would recommend for families or a group of friends
After reading the owners description of the property our expectations were set high. We have to say that we were not disappointed. Everything from furnishings, kitchen appliances & crockery and decor are all of the highest standard. The cleanliness is amazing, the hot tub exquisite and welcome pack on arrival bought a smile to our faces. You wont find a better holiday home. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent break at Rockland House. It was clean, comfortable and we felt at home very quickly. The welcome pack was an added bonusthankyou. The house was very well equipped with everything that you could desire. It was a short walk down into Brixham and the fish and chip shop round the corner was excellent! It was useful to have the parking space too.Overall we had a fantastic break so thank you.
Rockland House is the most beautiful property weve stayed in. It was clean, well equipped the kitchen has everything you could need and comfortable. Luxurys like the hot tub, the outdoor areas for eating and relaxing, swingball, the comfortable lounge with huge TV and reclining chair all added that bit extra to turn a great stay into a fantastic stay. The welcome, including box of treats, from Sam was much appreciated after an 8 hour drive and meant we could enjoy a cup of tea. A glass of fizz and some delicious scones without needing to get back in the car for supplies. It was our first visit to Devon and the location of the house was perfect for a number of attractions. The steam railway, Greenway House and the Waterpark at Paignton were all great. Me and my son saw Torquay United on Saturday which was a lovely afternoon. We also made the most of Brixham itself in the lovely clear water at Breakwater beach and a swim in the seawater pool is a must. The Golden Hind is a fascinating visit especially with a History Teacher in the family and we also had a lovely evening meal at Le Petite Maison. Fish and chips, sweet shops and Richmix Records if youre a vinyl enthusiast are all on the doorstep as well as a well stocked spar just around the corner. Thank you for a perfect holiday, this wont be our last visit!
Lovely comfortable house that is well equipped and well located. Hosts made themselves available but we did not need them as everything worked. To make it perfect the house could do with another toilet as one shared bathroomtoilet amongst 5 guests was a little tricky
This property is really wonderful! It was perfectly clean and very well equipped with good quality accessories. The whole property is beautifully presented and the hot tub is fabulous! Sam, the owner, was extremely friendly and very helpful. We would absolutely love to visit Rockland House again in the future. Staying here really did make our family holiday special!

We stayed here August 2024 and we were blown away with how lovely the house was. Everything was utterly spotless with all the amenities you would need! The hot tub was new and we enjoyed it every day, the owners checked on it every day to make sure it was clean, and they were on the phone if we needed them. The only thing I would say is due to the nature of the entrance it isn't accessible for wheelchairs, unless they are lifted over 2 steps. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to spend time just 510 minute walk into the beautiful fishing village of Brixham. You can find shops restaurants bars and food outlets. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Sam and Anton made this holiday easy with the home to home comforts. They thought about everything to the welcoming hamper to the blankets on the sofa. The place us big enough that you are can retreat in your own space and recovery for lunch outside. As amazing place and well located.
