This charming historic home is the ideal seaside getaway for couples and their canine companions seeking a beautifully appointed base from which to explore Brixham and the surrounding area. Wander to the picturesque harbour to feast on fish and chips watching the boats bobbing on the water, stop in one of the dog-friendly pubs for an early evening drink, or stroll along the sandy beach at Fishcombe Coves where dogs are welcome all year round.

Step inside this lovely ex-railway worker’s cottage and enter the open-plan living space where your pup will never be far from sight. Cook up a delicious dinner for two in the compact but well-equipped kitchen area to share at the cosy dining table with original cottage-style built in seat. Snuggle up on the comfortable sofa to share a bottle of wine, with your hound sprawled at your feet. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to the first floor where you will find a double bedroom and stylish shower room. Remember to bring your pup’s favourite bedding so they can rest their paws in comfort too. To the front of the cottage is a delightful  patio where you can enjoy an early evening glass of wine.

Stroll through the village to reach Berry Head Nature Reserve (1.5 miles) for walks along the headland and stunning views across the coastline. Step onto the South West Coast Path to sniff out one of the dog-friendly coves for a picnic and a doggy paddle. Hop onboard the dog-friendly passenger ferry to Torquay (8.5 miles) where you can walk along the palm-tree lined promenade and step back in time at Bygones as you wander the replica Victorian street scenes with your hound at your side.

Signalmans Cottage was perfect in every way. Everything that we needed was supplied, and the cottage was warm, cosy and beautifully cared for. Youre a five minute walk from the busy harbour but the street is incredibly quiet. Theres obviously been a lot of love, thought and generosity put into the cottage, and Colins communication is second to noneRead more. We cant wait to go back! Hide

This cottage is really well appointed and everything is supplied you could possibly want, the location is only ten minutes to the harbour but beware it's a very steep area. The upstairs of the cottage has a spacious bedroom and bathroom both excellent but with limited storage space. The stairs are steep and winding which could be a problem for anyoRead morene with mobility issues, the downstairs lounge / kitchen is a nice space but quite small and the cottage has very limited outside space.

A great little cottage in a great location, very comfy and quiet in the middle of everything. If your not mobile the hills will be a struggle although we downloaded the brixham taxi app and used them a couple of times when we couldn't be bothered to walk back. There is a park area next to the cottage if you have a dog and the views are outstanding Read more.we would definitely stay at signalman cottage again as it is perfect and good value for money with modern amenities included Hide
