Set over three floors, this spacious period property sleeps eight making a memorable place for a family celebration or group gathering – including two spoilt holidaying hounds. Set tails wagging while you’re immersed in maritime heritage, with hillside and beachfront walks that abound around the house, which is set on a vantage point for stunning views over the marina and sea.

Rich with original features, comfy seating and views over the marina, the lounge is perfect for relaxing with your tired-out pup after a long day’s adventure. Glass of wine in hand, wind down by a coal-effect electric fire. The dining room’s pretty, wooden interiors make for stylish dining for eight, with a wood burner-effect electric fire. Move through to the well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook up a storm. The door open onto steep steps (careful with any young/unsteady feet – or paws!) where you’ll discover a scenic, raised decked terrace and spectacular views over Torbay. The first floor is home to a double room, with marina views and an en-suite shower room. The main bathroom is also on this floor, with a sumptuous roll-top bath and a separate shower. The second floor’s three well-appointed rooms – two doubles and one bunk bedroom.

Being near to Brixham town centre, you are also 250 metres from the historic harbour, once pirates’ stomping ground and where the Golden Hinds Museum ship (where dogs can find a friendly welcome) will fascinate you. Find doggy treats in the local pub, under 500 metres from your scenic stay. Or, there is a popular self-guided walking tour which follows in the footsteps of Black Beard. Breakwater Beach, for sandy frolics for all the family (four-legged and two), is just 0.5 miles from the property.

  • Four bedrooms:

The Lookout is close to the harbour and has some fine views. In warmer weather than we had the summer house and garden furniture would certainly be used. With five adults and two very active children (6 and 8) we seemed to have plenty of space. There are plenty of things to do locally; we enjoyed the Otter Sanctuary and Butterfly House at BuckfastlRead moreeigh, and various coves at Little Dartmouth, St Mary's Bay and elsewhere. We had a lovely time. Hide

Lovely house, amazing views, clean, warm, well equipped, parking a bit of a walk. And you really must be fit and able to walk up lots of steps, to the house. Over 3 floors, and top terrace hard to reach, but worth the climb. No real garden for dogs but lots of walks to go to. We had a lovely family Christmas there. Fit in 8 people easily.

I would really recommend this house to anyone who wants to stay in Brixham. It overlooks the harbour, has fantastic views from inside and out. It would not be suitable for anyone who cannot climb stairs, a feature of Brixham though. Lots to do in the area around, and ideal for dog lovers. Shoalstone beach, rocky not sand. Berry Head wildlife reservRead moree and a fort. Fishcombe Cove, a high climb to get to it but well worth it. Has a 2nd world war battery at the top. Hide

Great location. Decent space for all the family. Brixham is really nice and lots walks etc. House is ok as a base and functional but needs updating - stairs to door and terrace are not for faint-hearted!

This was our second time staying in this property and it is brilliant. We had 8 people in the house and we had plenty of room. The location couldn't be better and the views from the garden, front room and bedrooms are all beautiful! All communication with the owner was efficient, friendly and any queries were resolved quickly!
