  • Traditional three-storey fishermen’s cottage thoughtfully styled in tasteful shabby-chic
  • Enjoy the fantastic views of the harbour and out to sea, whilst relaxing in the lounge
  • Situated in a traffic-free zone, just meters from the harbour and walking distance for the coastal walks, beaches and town centre
Property code: OC-BX030

This pretty cottage, situated half a mile’s walk from Brixham Harbour, is in the ideal spot for a relaxing seaside holiday – and the pups can join too! Sleeping five across three quirky bedrooms and with room for up to two dogs, you could all soon be out enjoying a walk along the South West Coast Path or the marina (0.6 miles). Make sure to sniff out the dog-friendly pubs in the town where you can all go for a welcome refreshment after you’ve walked the coast and countryside.

The property, which is a typical fisherman’s cottage, has its own unique style thanks to floral shabby-chic decor. The open-plan living area is fresh and bright with a homely country-cottage style; find everything you need to cook up a storm in the kitchen up a small step before eating at the attractive dining table. After a long day out exploring, sink into the welcoming sofa or chairs in front of the wood burner; the hounds will fight over their favourite spot near the fireplace! Relax in the sumptuous roll-top bath in the bathroom on the first floor, before heading to bed on the first or second floor. Wake up to fantastic sea views, ready to take on the day.

Head out of the hustle and bustle to Fishcombe Cove, just over half a mile away, where the dogs can unleash it all, and can even join the children in the calm waters for a paddle. Shoalstone Beach (1 mile) is another that’s a hit with kids thanks to rock pools, and there’s also a saltwater swimming pool. For stunning clifftop walks, visit Berry Head (2 miles) where you may be lucky enough to spot a rare blue butterfly or dolphins and porpoises in the sea.

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The only issue we had was the toaster popping the toast up when it wasnt toasted despite altering the settings! We have reported so hopefully it will be replaced. Access to the cottage is down a narrow sloping lane which is very difficult to turn around so we had to reverse back up the hill once wRead moree had loaded which was a bit tricky, can I suggest that visitors should park up and find the cottage on foot before deciding where to unload.

The cottage was in a brilliant location for the shops and restaurants in Brixham. The only downside being it was a little difficult to get the luggage in as there are only steps to access the property. The best part was all the rooms had fabulous views of the harbour and bay.

Lovely cottage with everything you need, nice clean towels and bedding, comfy beds and outstanding views. The steps to the property would rule out anyone with mobility issues and although challenging (were not young) they were manageable. The location is perfect, great for watching the fishing boats coming and going.would we stay again, yes we probRead moreably will. Hide

Amazing location, views are wonderful. Unfortunately we found the property not to be very clean therefore it didn't feel very comfortable or relaxed. We ended up buying cleaning products to use. Quite sparse on 'stuff' you would usually have at a self catering property. 1 x loo roll, 1 x tea towel, 1 x towel each. Brixham is fab, some amazing walksRead more, lots and lots of steps which we didn't mind but definitely not suitable for those with limited mobility or a push chair. Hide

Fab place to stay, very comfortable, like a home from home. Beautiful views over the harbour and out to sea. Close to town too, and all the shops and restaurants. Loved it here and in Brixham!
