Your pets can pretend they’re fishermen’s dogs at this beautifully renovated cottage in the vibrant seaside town of Brixham. You’ll be just 500 metres from the pretty harbour and bustling town centre, where you can explore the quirky shops and pop into dog-friendly cafes and pubs for refreshment. Morning walks are sorted with the Berry Head Nature Reserve that starts at the end of your road (350 metres, please be aware of the grazing animals and look out for signs requesting your dogs stay on leads).
This delightful three-storey cottage is brimming with traditional charm, starting with the cosy living area where you can eat at the table and then wind down with your pups after a day out in the sunshine. The well-equipped kitchen has lovely wood-topped work surfaces and cream units for a rustic look. Upstairs, you’ll find two cosy bedrooms – a double with access to a sunny terrace (ideal for morning coffee) and, on the top floor, a twin room that can be converted to a super-king if needed. This room has lovely glimpses of the sea through its skylights. Outside, the small shared courtyard presents a quiet spot for some fresh air. A parking permit is provided for one car at Marina Car Park 0.5 miles away.
You’ll find an abundance of attractions nearby, including plenty of dog-friendly beaches. St Mary’s Bay (500 metres), Shoalstone Beach (0.5 miles) and Fishcombe Cove (1 mile) are all restriction-free, so your canine chum can jump over the rocks, run in the surf and sniff out other dogs. Head to Berry Head (1 mile) for the chance to spot dolphins or take boat trips to Torquay or Dartmouth for a memorable day out.
