  • Traditional three-storey fishermen’s cottage thoughtfully styled in tasteful shabby-chic
  • Enjoy the fantastic views of the harbour and out to sea, whilst relaxing in the lounge
  • Situated in a traffic-free zone, just meters from the harbour and walking distance for the coastal walks, beaches and town centre
Property code: BX030

This property is located close to the harbour in Brixham, a lovely seaside town situated on Torbay. Three towns are clustered around the bay: Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham itself, which is situated on the western side. The other towns are both less than a thirty-minute drive from Brixham, but there is also a ferry that runs across the bay to Torquay which makes a daytrip to the resort town even more special. Brixham is a lovely town with a thriving harbour, a good range of shops and restaurants, several beaches, and even an interesting replica of the Golden Hind which is fully-accessible to visitors and offers a glimpse at life on the Tudor ship that circumnavigated the world. 

On arrival, guests are welcome into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which is on the ground-floor and is a clear example of the tasteful shabby-chic style which gives the cottage a lovely homely feel. The lounge area, at the front of the room, offers views of the bay, which can be enjoyed from the comfortable sofas, or you can sit back and enjoy the Smart TV and DVD player with selection of films and family games. The wood burner here gives the room a lovely cosy feel, even in the coldest months. The dining area, with its hand-painted furniture, sits between the lounge and the kitchen area, which is accessed via one step up, and is equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. Wooden stairs lead to the first floor, where the master bedroom suite is located. This spacious room has a wonderful view of the bay, and benefits from an en-suite shower and WC. The main bathroom is also on this floor, and has a sumptuous roll-top bath with handheld shower, and WC. The remaining two bedrooms can be found on the second floor: a cosy single room and a good-sized twin, again with fabulous sea views.

 

  • Three bedrooms:
  • 1 king-size plus en-suite shower room with shower and WC

Amazing location, views are wonderful. Unfortunately we found the property not to be very clean therefore it didn't feel very comfortable or relaxed. We ended up buying cleaning products to use. Quite sparse on 'stuff' you would usually have at a self catering property. 1 x loo roll, 1 x tea towel, 1 x towel each. Brixham is fab, some amazing walksRead more, lots and lots of steps which we didn't mind but definitely not suitable for those with limited mobility or a push chair. Hide

Fab place to stay, very comfortable, like a home from home. Beautiful views over the harbour and out to sea. Close to town too, and all the shops and restaurants. Loved it here and in Brixham!

If you want to be in the centre of the harbour area with great views, then this is a good location. The view from the master bedroom is particularly lovely. Holidaymakers need to be prepared for the steps up and down and have a plan for parking as Brixham is a little tricky.

Brilliant location, cosy, log burner was an asset and made things even cosier. Views out the front windows are superb and many an hour wasted watching the fishing boats and seals!

Attractive and well equipped cottage with extremely comfortable beds and superb views but you pay for these. Its a bit of a shock on arrival as you have to get everything out of the car, worrying if the traffic wardens are about to descend and then simultaneously find somewhere to park the car whist also transporting all your gear down a fair amounRead moret of rough steps.!!! Once settled, you also need to bear in mind that there are 87 more steps down to the harbour. And there isnt any outside space. Hide

Great accommodation in a very convenient location. No big issues for us with the accommodation. Parking could be an issue, however the details made us aware of this so it wasn't a shock, could be bigger issue in the summer when Brixham is busier.

We loved our recent stay, the cottage has everything you need and more. The views from the windows are fantastic and the photos we took did not do it justice.

Really enjoyed our time in the cottage. Views stunning. We managed to walk to the town 2/3 times a day , but not good if you can't walk to well. 86 steps to the bottom , even harder coming back up. Facilities in cottage great, cozy and comfortable. Thank you. Lynn Lee
