Hi I'm Mia! I've been a full-time host for over seven years and absolutely love what I do. I manage several properties across the area, including this beautiful cottage in Brixham. Torbay has been my home for many years, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else - there's just something special about being by the sea. When I'm not welcoming guests, you'll usually find me enjoying a glass of wine, discovering new restaurants, or taking in the coastal views. I take pride in making sure every guest feels completely at home. Whether you're here to relax, explore or celebrate, I'll do everything I can to make your stay smooth and memorable. I look forward to hosting you soon!
