The modern apartment boasts a prime location, just metres from the pretty harbour and promenade. The property sleeps four guests and one furry friend, making it ideal for a couples’ retreat or family seaside holiday. There’s plenty to see and do with your pup in this picturesque resort on the English Riviera, with many eateries welcoming four-legged diners and some fabulous paw-friendly beaches and coves nearby.

The light apartment, situated above a prestigious fish restaurant in the heart of town, is decorated in a contemporary style, with flashes of red to add warmth and little nautical touches to remind you of your fabulous coastal location. The property is approached by a flight of stairs, leading to a welcoming hallway where you can store all your dog-walking gear. The spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner overlooks the town, providing the perfect opportunity for Rover to partake in a spot of people and pup-watching from the window! Outside, there’s a small-decked area where you and your four-legged friend can relax in the sunshine after a day of exploring.

Beautiful Brixham is the quintessential English fishing town, with a picture-postcard harbour, colourful fishermen’s cottages and a gorgeous promenade. It’s easy to while away an afternoon strolling along the promenade with your canine chum, before popping into one of the paw-friendly eateries, many of which serve freshly caught seafood. Just 1 mile from the harbour, you’ll discover the secluded Fishcombe Cove. This small, shingle beach is dog friendly all year and is the perfect place to escape the crowds and soak up a bit of serenity. You can join the long-distance South West Coast Path in Brixham and follow it for 3 miles to Babbacombe. This stunning route takes you around the limestone peninsula of Berry Head and past the popular resorts of Paignton and Torquay.

This an exceptional property situated very close to the harbour the only problem are the 2 flights of stairs it could be a difficult if you are not very mobile, I found them no problem but my companion less so. This is not a criticism just a word of warning if you have mobility issues.

We found the apartment very comfortable and a great location by the harbour. Pub across the road a little noisy at weekends. Kelly and the restaurant manager down stairs were extremely helpful throughout our stay and made us feel very welcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending the property and would like to return again in the future.

I had excellent communication with the owner prior to and during my holiday. (Mr and Mrs Simonetti are very generous and hospitable) The location of John Dory is fantastic being adjacent to the inner harbour, albeit a tad noisy with the pirates in The Blue Anchor (but that was the reason for the visit as we have enjoyed the festival for about 9 yeaRead morers now!) Would definitely use the property again. Hide

All the home comforts youd need plus a few you wouldnt expect in holiday apartments. Such as a tv in the bedrooms and the beds are very very comfortable. Parking is close by using a Torbay 8 days pass which covers you for a lot of local car parks too.
