A lovely hotel with magnificent sea views. A good-sized function room with a private bar - possibly the largest function room in Brixham and therefore popular for weddings and parties. The hotel owners are very hands-on and experienced with function arrangements which shows.
Full venue detailsOccupying a prime spot on the seafront, The Grand Hotel is a popular wedding venue with a lovely terrace off the bar offering great views of the town. The railway station is adjacent to the hotel making it an ideal location for parties with guests arriving by train. Limited parking at the hotel.
Full venue detailsA beautiful location, overlooking the sea and striking rock formations. The outside wedding ceremony area is lovely with the sound of the waves crashing in the below cove. The hotel is very nice and food was commented on by guests as excellent. There is a large marquee which provides a very good size room for a wedding or medium size party. This contains a bar and a dance floor area for entertainment. There is designated area for BBQs outside the marquee. The garden steps down to the bottom terrace where the outside weddings are held. A unique position for anyone looking for a spectacular location for a wedding or celebration.
Full venue detailsA beautiful hotel in lovely surroundings. The Cocktail Bar is ideal for smaller parties. Staff are helpful and friendly and the food is very good.
