Property code: OC-SDSEAL

A crisp coastal retreat boasting panoramic ocean views across the glistening waters of Brixham harbour. This light-flooded hideaway is a wonderful escape for family and friends adventuring with a couple of furry companions in tow. Scamper along the South West Coast Path toward the cliff-backed shoreline of St Mary’s Beach (2 miles), before stretching sandy paws on the cobble-stone patio for an afternoon snooze.

This beautifully styled three-storey property oozes laid-back, beach house charm. Picture rustic layered textures, nautical blue accent tones, and sun-soaked social areas. Towel off soggy paws before padding into the open-plan lounge/diner. Perch on the statement armchair and sip a brew with a worn-out Fido curled by your feet. Be lulled into the magnificent bay window dining space and tuck into a fresh summer spread bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. Flop down amongst the plump scatter pillows on the sofa and get tails wagging with a family games night or unwind with a film. Stepping up, potter in the wooden shaker kitchen and prepare a meaty feast for your hungry hound. Venturing to the first floor, sink into the soft linens of the tranquil en-suite king, complete with sweeping sea views and a perfectly placed reading nook. Little explorers will adore the split-level family room while you escape to the top floor king with striking picture windows. Enjoy a frothy morning coffee from the patio while your curious pups sniff out the salty ocean scents drifting in the wind.

Scamper atop rocks on the shingly shoreline of Shoalstone Beach (1.5 miles) then Scoff a fresh seafood lunch at the waterfront bistro (1.5 miles) while your doe-eyed pup charms the server for a treat. Cultured canines can hop aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway (6 miles) for a scenic jaunt through the Devonshire countryside.

What a superb location, stunning views from the cottage of Brixham harbour. Loading and unloading tricky just need to be nimble up the steps (be prepared as they're steep) we came home fitter! Cottage clean and tidy, bed super comfy would love to go back again!

We had a lovely stay at Seal Cottage and the views are amazing but please be aware of the steep walks to the shops and pubs etc. There are also some very steep steps up to the cottage and luggage needs to be carried up and down!

Fantastic view but this comes at a price of being up a steep hill and a flight of 20 steps up to cottage. Not recommended for those with mobility issues.
