Explore the beautiful English Riviera from this fabulous holiday cottage, less than 0.5 miles from Brixham Harbour. Potter around this quintessential seaside town, with its colourful houses and bustling fishing community, or let Rover and Fido lead the way on a hike along the rugged South West Coast Path. There are also some fantastic paw-friendly attractions nearby, including The Golden Hind Museum Ship (less than 0.5 miles).

The stylish property offers a home-away-from-home holiday, with plenty of touches to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The contemporary lounge/diner is light and bright, thanks to patio doors leading to the outdoor area. Hard floors run throughout the living space, making it nice and easy to deal with sandy pawprints. After a day at the beach, unwind on the comfy sofas and throw open the patio doors to fill the accommodation with fresh, sea air. On a warm day, the hounds will love pottering in and out to the enclosed patio area, where you can also enjoy a little aperitif in the South Devon sunshine. There’s a public park adjacent to the property, which is perfect for the pups to stretch their legs.

The coast path that branches away from Brixham is quite spectacular. The 13-mile route that takes you along the coast to Babbacombe is full of breathtaking scenery, overlooking secluded beaches and dramatic cliffs, and is the perfect walk to fully appreciate the beauty of the English Riviera. Blow away the cobwebs with a dog walk at Berry Head (1.5 miles). The stunning headland boasts exceptional views across Torbay, as well as an iconic lighthouse and Napoleonic fort. History enthusiasts will love The Golden Hind Museum Ship, a full-sized replica of Sir Francis Drake’s most famous ship. Well-behaved woofers on leads are welcome aboard.

Follow owners directions to property as sat nav sends you around v.narrow greets.Lots of steps to town centre so be aware on returning to property but using them get great views and see some unusual houses.Some restaurants need to book as quite small but Brixham has a good choice of venues.

We have stayed in Brixham many times over the years. Heron House is an absolute gem as it is dog friendly; has a drive and enclosed outdoor space.
