Property code: BX013

This property is located a stone’s throw from the town centre of Brixham, situated in an elevated position on the west side of Torbay. Brixham itself is a harbour town, with a proud maritime history, which visitors may like to explore by jumping on board the fascinating replica of the Golden Hind. The harbour continues to be busy today, and there is a flourishing fishing industry which is very much in evidence from the town’s numerous pubs and restaurants which specialise in the local seafood. There are several beaches within easy reach of the town centre, including Shoalstone Beach, which has the additional draw of a wonderful 53 metre tidal pool, providing safe bathing, no matter what the conditions at sea.

Several exterior steps lead to the front door of this attractive property, bringing guests to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a lovingly styled room with some tasteful retro design touches. The lounge, is a welcoming light-filled space with a large sofa and comfortable chairs surrounding the TV and cosy open fire. Enjoy the  views to the town’s harbour from the lounge.  One step up leads to the kitchen/diner with its dining table and breakfast bar providing plenty of space for family meals. Guests will easily find everything they need to make themselves at home in the kitchen, including an oven, hob, microwave and fridge. The washing machine and freezer, meanwhile, can be found in a separate covered utility area. On the first floor of the property are two bedrooms, the first of these is a double room which has the unusual benefit of its own  covered conservatory which overlooks the garden and provides a lovely private space to sit and relax. The second bedroom on this floor is a twin bedroom, whilst the first-floor bathroom offers a shower-over-bath and WC. The master bedroom, a double room, occupies the second floor of the property and enjoys views of the harbour and beyond to the sea.

Outside, to the rear of the properties, the garden is made up of several charming terraced patio spaces with steps connecting each area. Garden furniture is provided so that guests can make the most of these outdoor spaces, and one area is covered to provide shelter and a handy drying space. Please note that there are steep steps linking the patio areas, so children will need to be supervised.

Very nice cottage. Lovely views. You do have to be fit as it's a long way down to the town and of course you have to walk back up. The parking is on a steep incline and I was very worried about my clutch, so we decided to use the buses to get around which was very easy. The cottage has all you need. Beds are comfortable and everywhere clean. This cRead moreottage is a good base for your holiday. Hide

We had a pleasant stay at Scallop Cottage. The parking is convenient but on a very steep slope. The property could be challenging for those with mobility issues. It was disappointing to find no tea, coffee, or dishwasher tablets on arrival, despite labelled containers. We had to buy these from the nearby Co-op, a short walk away. Having only one baRead morethroom is a drawback for a property that sleeps six. Great village, loads of bars and restaurants to choose from but its a workout walking back up! Hide

This cottage has everything you need and more. We cook a lot and found it had everything we needed. It is just a flight of steps away from town, harbour and all the amenities. Very comfy cosy cottage. The parking space was a really rare gem in Brixham. Great.

The cottage was clean and well equipped. The location was great. Our children loved the garden, the Lego and the book snug. We would thoroughly recommend and will be back again

It is located in centrally with great views and potentially is a great property, especially with parking space, but the kitchen and bathroom facilities need to be updated to a 4 star level. The property isn't very dog friendly, despite it being advertised as such. There are no dog bowls, which other properties have, and booklet's entry regarding doRead moregs would offend most dog owners. Hide

Central location, easy access. Parking on the slope isnt easy but is possible. Using St Peters Hill rather than the steps down to Brixham is easier to handle. Comfy house, kept well, neat and clean. Brixham is a lovely town been visiting it for years. Would recommend but 6 adults. might find it a bit cramped.

A very comfortable house and gardens. The parking space was very handy. We had good weather and our dog enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and watching the passing people, dogs and cats. Great location, just a three minute walk in to town, but a ten minute climb back home! We swam at Shoalstone seapool most days as the weather was kind to us.

Beautiful cottage with gorgeous views over the Harbour especially from top floor. Only 10 mins walk into town. Lovely little town , pubs, restaurants cafes etc. Steep walk back up 96 steps in total on one part but well worth it if you can do them. Parking space is available.

Great location for Brixham, 2 minute walk down but steep coming back up! The best harbour view from the top window without being too close and noisy.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful place. Fab views of the harbour from the property and a short walk down to Brixham. Nice clean property and loved the selection of books to choose from! Handy to have a parking space at the property too.
