Property code: OC-SDBELL

A beautifully designed period property situated in the bustling harbourside town of Brixham on the South Devon Coast. This chic coastal escape is perfect for family getaways or reunions with friends with an honorary four-legged member in tow. Furry food critics can venture waterside for a breezy al fresco lunch at the bistro overlooking Shoalstone Beach (1 mile) where meaty treats are served in abundance. Back at base, sip a sundowner in the Mediterranean-style courtyard surrounded by leafy greenery and whitewashed walls.

This sophisticated hideaway features a curated interior with rustic stonewalling, earthy wooden textures, and crisp white tones. Shake off sandy harnesses at the door then step into the lounge bathed in light from the bay window. Swirl an aperitif as you curl up on the plush sofas or unwind with a film on the Smart TV. Pad beneath the arched doorway to feast in the elegant dining space. Toast to your special occasion then dive into a family feast gathered around the contemporary wooden bench seat. Keen cooks will be in their element pottering in the airy shaker kitchen beneath the exposed beams and skylight. Prop open the patio doors to bask in the breeze while your curios pup explores outside. Rest up in the inviting sleeping areas consisting of a king, twin, and a single each with soft linens and coordinated throws. Gear up for a sizzling afternoon meal on the patio while Fido sniffs in the salty air.

Snuffle out every nook and cranny of the Golden Hind Museum Ship (500 metres) for a dose of immersive maritime history. Scamper along a section of the rugged South West Coast Path for wave-crashing fun on the shores of St Mary’s Bay (1.5 miles) then drink in the sweeping coastal vistas from the cafe perched atop Berry Head (2 miles).

Lovely cottage in ideal location to explore the local area. Perfect walking distance into Brixham & the amazing Rockfish restaurant, local beaches & access to the coastal path without the necessity of the car. Cottage was comfortable & provided with all necessary equipment.

We had a fantastic stay at April Cottage. 3 generations were made really comfortable.and we had plenty of space. Very well equipped and grateful for the basics (and wine) that have been left. We've stayed a few times in Brixham and I think we are agreed this was the best we have stayed in. Great location and great cottage. Thanks!

April Cottage is in a great location with easy access to the harbour and shops. The Queens Arms and The Manor pubs are a quick walk. It's great to be able to quickly access The Batteries and Coast Path or take a bus to Kingswear and Dartmouth. Basically lots of options easily accessible. Great walks to Berry Head and on to Man Sands too.

This was a really lovely cottage and very spacious - perfect for our family of four. Beautiful views and the extra provisions such as the Nespresso machine and Bose speaker were appreciated. Kitchen equipment all in good working order and high quality. Bedrooms very spacious and comfortable beds. Easy access to town down either a few flights of staRead moreirs to the harbour or down a very steep road without steps - doesn't take long though. The park out the front is a great asset as is the playground around the corner. Car parking is tight - although we always found a space on the same road you get very good at tight parallel parking and the road is a busy as drivers use it is a cut-through. But this is the same pretty much anywhere along the coast! Hide

A lovely stay at this house, spacious and comfortable with the majority of home comforts provided to make the stay an enjoyable one. The shower is powerful albeit a bit low for anyone tall, but better than most holiday lets. Parking near the house was an issue for all but one of the days we stayed, mainly due to inconsiderate parking by others. TheRead more park opposite the house is ideal for anyone with dogs, and this leads to steps that take you down to the harbour which is an enjoyable 10 minute walk. Hide

Lovely views of the harbour, not far from town. The sunrise was spectacular each morning from the bedrooms.
