Bask in the sunny delights of the English Riviera at this beautiful property in the bustling fishing town of Brixham. It’s perfect for couples or older families who want to enjoy some seaside fun with their four-legged friends. Take a boat trip to Torquay with your intrepid sea dogs before returning home for a relaxing glass of wine on the patio.

This light and airy property is beautifully understated and uncluttered, with thoughtful maritime-themed touches throughout. The warm and welcoming open-plan living area. Light fills the lounge through the French doors that lead out to the garden. Sink into the sofa to watch TV and stroke your beloved hounds as they daydream about chasing rabbits. Cook up a storm in the pristine white kitchen and, on balmy summer evenings, take your meals outside to dine alfresco in the enclosed rear garden. After a tiring day exploring, head upstairs to rest your weary limbs in the spacious king-size bedrooms. Wake up to sea views in the master bedroom and garden views in the second room.

Torbay is a very dog-friendly area, so you’ll find plenty to keep your inquisitive mutts happy here. Walk to the dramatic Berry Head at the end of the road or discover more about Brixham’s maritime history with a wander around the harbour, less than a mile from the property. Feel the sand between your toes (or paws!) on Goodrington North Sands (5 miles) or experience the world in miniature with a stroll round Babbacombe Model Village (10.5 miles). Your canine adventurers can also join you on a trip aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway (5 miles) which runs through the beautiful Dart Valley.

The Garden House was better than we anticipated. Really cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. Its very well located for walking into Brixham and from there you can get buses to Kingswear, Torquay and Paignton. We hardly used the car which was a bonus. Fantastic property!

This was a fabulous holiday home that allows a dog.

A warm and comfortable cottage which is enhanced by the most welcoming of hosts.

Location good and bus stop outside door for ride down into harbour and back up - very convenient! House spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. Bed super comfy Real home from home. All the nice places to visit or quite near so we didnt have to drive far which is great and local bus service is quite good too.

I have stayed in quite a few holiday rentals and usually there is some little detail missing BUT I can honestly say that I cannot think of anything that would improve the Garden House. It is not a quaint thatched cottage but is beautifully presented, very comfortable, ideal little garden, great location and very friendly and helpful hosts. Many of Read morethe guests have returned multiple times. Really is a home from home. Hide
