  • Stylish and contemporary apartment in the heart of Brixham
  • Conveniently located for Brixham harbour, perfect for the boat trips available

Property code: OC-54679

The modern apartment boasts a prime location, just metres from the pretty harbour and promenade. The property sleeps four guests and one furry friend, making it ideal for a couples’ retreat or family seaside holiday. There’s plenty to see and do with your pup in this picturesque resort on the English Riviera, with many eateries welcoming four-legged diners and some fabulous paw-friendly beaches and coves nearby.

 

The light apartment, situated above a prestigious fish restaurant in the heart of town, is decorated in a contemporary style, with flashes of red to add warmth and little nautical touches to remind you of your fabulous coastal location. The property is approached via a shared entrance and up two flights of staircases, leading to a welcoming hallway where you can store all your dog-walking gear. The spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner overlooks the town, providing the perfect opportunity for Rover to partake in a spot of people and pup-watching from the window! Outside, there’s a small-decked area where you and your four-legged friend can relax in the sunshine after a day of exploring.

 

Beautiful Brixham is the quintessential English fishing town, with a picture-postcard harbour, colourful fishermen’s cottages and a gorgeous promenade. It’s easy to while away an afternoon strolling along the promenade with your canine chum, before popping into one of the paw-friendly eateries, many of which serve freshly caught seafood. Just 1 mile from the harbour, you’ll discover the secluded Fishcombe Cove. This small, shingle beach is dog friendly all year and is the perfect place to escape the crowds and soak up a bit of serenity. You can join the long-distance South West Coast Path in Brixham and follow it for 3 miles to Babbacombe. This stunning route takes you around the limestone peninsula of Berry Head and past the popular resorts of Paignton and Torquay.

Lovely spacious apartment. Very clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Comfortable beds and nice big shower/wet room. Really handy having a co-op just across the road and numerous pubs and restaurants very close by.

Ideally located for the harbor and town Centre. The apartment has everything you need to make it a comfortable stay. Added bonus was the private outdoor sitting area which our dog loved and so did we with a nice glass of wine after a busy day out. Will definitely be booking there again.
