Overview
Property code: OC-SDBOLT
Discover coastal delight at this sleek and stylish first-floor apartment, perfect for couples or families accompanied by their canine companion to come and discover the delights of Brixham and South Devon.

Accessible via a rear passageway and a spiral staircase to a shared entrance, the apartment seamlessly marries modern comforts with Victorian charm. The inviting lounge/diner boasts original sash windows, a sparkling chandelier, and an ornate period fireplace. Bathed in natural light, sit back on cosy sofas and mid-century modern chairs. The gleaming kitchen comes fully equipped, with expansive worktops and an additional dining table to make meal times a breeze. Two elegant bedrooms share the contemporary family bathroom. While the apartment has no outside space of its own, the beach beckons under half a mile, offering the perfect canvas for a leisurely walk or a delightful picnic.

Unveil the town's treasures as shops and an array of eateries unfold at your doorstep. Take your pick from the assortment of beaches or opt for a splash in the saltwater lido, a seasonal treat with special doggie swim sessions. Fishcombe Cove, Shoalstone Beach and St Mary’s Bay all welcome canine companions year-round, with no seasonal restrictions. Embark on a leisurely 1.5-mile stroll to Berry Head National Nature Reserve, where Napoleonic forts, remarkable wildlife, and a friendly cafe await against the backdrop of jaw-dropping vistas to really get tails wagging. Keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins, harbour porpoises, grey seals, and even majestic basking sharks cruising past the beaches, harbour, and headlands. For broader horizons, consider venturing to Dartmouth (5 miles), Paignton (5.5 miles), or Torquay (8.5 miles) for enriching day-trip experiences with plenty of interest for inquisitive hounds along the way.

This was a great flat for an Easter break. We were a family of four with a dog and loved it. It was very spacious and really nicely kitted out. The location is good in the centre, but can be noisy on Saturday nights as its opposite a pub. And if you do stay, travel light as there is no parking, so any luggage has to be transported from a carRead more park 5mins away. Then, its up the stairs to the flat. The long stay is a mile away as well. We would stay there again. Hide
