Property code: BX045

Found in a fantastic position overlooking Brixham’s famous harbour, where fishing boats rub shoulders with the pleasure craft which take visitors on tours of the bay. Like much of South Devon, Torbay is known for its beaches, and thanks to the English Riviera’s microclimate, the sea is usually warmer than it is in other parts of Devon. Why not spend a day at quiet St Mary’s Bay, or secluded Fishcombe Cove, both of which lie within a thirty-minute walk or very short drive of the cottage. There are plenty of interesting shops and galleries in the town, as well as a good range of restaurants, many specialising in the local seafood which is brought in daily by the local fishermen.

Guests will find this cottage at the end of a quiet road, giving it a lovely secluded feel, away from the main buzz of the town and yet still within a short walk of all amenities. Entering the property, guests will find the perfect spot to leave coats and walking boots before hearing off to be drawn into the lounge where the huge picture window offers spectacular sea views, surely one of the best in Brixham. With the ever-changing harbour views, there would seem to be little need for a TV in this light-filled room, but just in case guests are able to tear themselves away from the window, there is a TV here, as well as a feature fireplace with a wood burner which gives the room a lovely cosy feel, even through the coldest months. The separate dining room gives dining for all six guests and leads through to the kitchen via a feature door and one step up. The kitchen itself is a smart, contemporary space and it is perfect for keen foodies and is provided with an excellent range of equipment, including a Range oven, hob, microwave, American-style fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, whilst the washing machine, tumble dryer, and a handy extra sink can be found in the utility end of this space. The master bedroom, a king-size, on the first-floor enjoys the same stunning views as the lounge, giving guests a terrific sight to wake up to. The second bedroom on this floor is a twin room.  The shower room on this floor has a walk-in shower and WC. The third bedroom on the second floor which is a double room, again with beautiful sea views. Guests should be aware that due to the fact that this room is in the eaves of the house, there is some reduced head-height. An additional quiet reading room is opened for guests use on this floor with the benefit of a kitchenette area and shower room.

Outside, there is a pretty patio garden to the side of the property, with garden furniture which makes it a pleasant space to enjoy the sun and drink in the fabulous views over the inner harbour bowl.

  • 3 bedrooms
  • 1 king size bed, located on the first floor
  • 1 twin room, located on the first floor with views to the garden
  • 1 double room located on the top floor with views across the harbour

  • The Lounge room with a TV and dramatic views across Brixham harbour on ground floor
  • Additional sitting room on the top floor 
  • Wi-Fi included
  • Wood burner (logs not included)

  • Beach, shops, and pubs all within walking distance

  • Brixham is a busy fishing village situated on a very steep hill, so access to some parts of the village can be challenging.
  • Many of the amenities and cottages in Brixham are accessed via steps some of which can be steep.
  • Please contact us if you have specific requirements.
  • There are many small winding streets that are not suitable for cars, therefore many properties in Brixham do not have private parking. However, alternative parking is available in local carparks.

  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week

Needs a deep clean and new carpets and furniture. Great views but the windows are filthy. Top floor sitting room is very poorly furnished with old mis matched furniture and a sofa i would not sit on.

Hairpin Cottage is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Brixham! Its location allows for picturesque views from almost every window. Its proximity to town and to wonderful walks makes it an ideal place to spend some time. It is a steep climb from the marina and harbor and the commercial part of town; and the cottage has stairs between the threeRead more floors so it may not be ideal for people with difficulties walking. We loved the place tremendously and I cant wait to return! Very accommodating! Hide

This house is brilliant for a family to relax .. I spent two of my days just looking out of the lounge window (binoculars are a must, and you'll never go out). In fact views from the second and third floor are even better And if you get a choice of rooms... Take the top floor.... Until you get there, pics don't really show how special this house isRead more... After a week there and seeing the amount of people who photograph the view from the road outside, gives you an idea of how good this view is... Hide

We had a fabulous week at the cottage, enjoying the views and the warm sunshine on the patio. We travelled there by train and taxi and being car-free suited us perfectly as the location was perfect for walking everywhere (Coop nearby) and boat trips.
