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.

Entrance to the property (roadside) needs to look more appealing. Notes need updating on how to access they refer to a black gate its grey, and better photos would be clearer on how to arrive. Road noise high and volume of passing people at night roadside (better windows needed) Alarm panel beeps for unknown reasons in hallway of flat, and takes aRead more long time to stop multiple times of day.

The apartment is really lovely and so well equipped. Perfect for our family of 4. Location for walking into brixham is great. Only downside was the traffic noise in the front bedroom which I know is unavoidable but my hope of being able to lay in bed a bit longer in the morning wasnt achieved! It should perhaps be made a bit clearer that the long Read morestay parking is a 20 minute walk from the door and you cant park outside to unload as the door is pretty much at the crossing and its double yellows. Other than that we had a fabulous little holiday. Thank you Hide

We had a great holiday in Brixham. The property was great but it was very noisy outside the property as it was on a main road and across from a pub which got a little noisy at times. Extremely difficult to work the TV.
