Introduction
We aim to cater for the needs of all visitors. Raddicombe is situated in Hillhead on Kingswear Road, Brixham. The lodge was built in 1920 as a gentleman's residence, there are therefore some features which might make access difficult for those with limited mobility.
We have a level car park with a number of shallow steps up to the front door. (two sets of four, and a set of two). We have five first floor bedrooms.
