Overview
Property code: BX021

This property is situated close to the centre of the Brixham, a pretty harbour town which is located on the western edge of Torbay in South Devon. The town itself has a range of interesting shops and a number of well-regarded restaurants, many of which specialise in serving the local seafood. Some visitors, on the other hand, like to take the opportunity to catch their own supper and join one of the accompanied fishing cruises that leave from the town’s harbour, or alternatively take a leisurely trip on one of the pleasure boats that run around the bay. Days at the beach are easy to enjoy here, as there are several beaches within easy reach of the property, including the town’s main Breakwater beach.

This pretty cottage makes a lovely place to stay and guests will love the attractive tastefully styling which shows the thought that has been put into creating a restful holiday home. On entering the property, guests come first to the welcoming lounge, with is comfortable seating, TV, DVD, Netfix and artfully exposed stone wall. A winding steep cottage staircase leads to the lower-ground floor where the kitchen/diner is situated, offering a fantastic selection of equipment including an oven, hob, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and separate wine fridge. The dining table comfortably seats four and sits next to the stable door which opens onto the property’s outside space. (Please note that the kitchen has a low ceiling and some reduced head-height). Returning to the ground floor, the winding steep cottage staircase continue on to the first-floor accommodation where guests will find the master bedroom, with its double bed, TV and fitted wardrobe. The winding staircase continues on to the second floor, where guests can enjoy the twin room. Also located on this floor is the main family bathroom which has a shower-over-bath and WC.

Outside, to the rear of the property, there is a small patio area surrounded by plants and greenery, giving it a private, secluded feel. There is a parking permit for one car in a nearby Church car park,  close to the property.

Nice property to explore Brixham and the region. Cottage sleeps 4 and is comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need & the outdoor seating is fully enclosed. There are steep steps to all 3 floors & so the cottage would not be suitable for all.

Seagulls rest was by far one of the loveliest cottages we have ever stayed it. The stairs are steep as previously mentioned but the only downside which I feel I must mention was the noise from the pub a few doors down on Fri and Sat night until midnight, I am amazed that they are allowed to have such loud music in a residential street so late. We aRead morere not old fuddie duddies either, we are in our late forties with 2 teenagers but it really was awful. So for that reason alone I would not rebook Hide

I really feel it should be stressed more in the description about just how tricky the stairs are. We picked this up mainly from the other reviews but were quite surprised by just how steep and uneven they were. Lovely little cottage, fantastic location and parking a plus too! The only other thing to mention would be the noise from The Manor pub whiRead morech is only about four doors down. It didn't spoil our stay but it was very noisy and lively in the evenings. Hide

Exactly what I hope for in a fishermans cottage. Quirky layout over 4 floors, comfortable seating and beds, well equipped kitchen for home cooking. Bonus of a little courtyard for sitting out.

Location was great being near the harbour, shops and coast paths to coves and beaches. Hide

We had a wonderful stay and the location would be very difficult to beat. We hadn't realised the accommodation was set over 4 floors but this didn't cause us any problems. Worth noting that if you're 6 foot tall you do need to watch your head in the kitchen crossing from main prep area to fridge and/or table.
