Experience the very best of what the beautiful English Riviera has to offer by escaping to this lovingly furnished fisherman’s cottage just moments from an iconic bustling harbour and the sandy shoreline of South Devon.

After exploring your sandy surroundings, no better welcome for weary walking muscles is the inviting warmth of the gorgeous wood burner in the open-plan lounge/diner, which beckons you to unwind on the comfortable sofas and gather around the contemporary dining table to plan tomorrow’s seaside adventure. Head into the adjoining kitchen to whip up a family feast with the delicious local produce you’ve collected. As day turns to dusk, head upstairs to the first floor to find two beautifully calming bedrooms to retire to, or climb the cottage-style winding staircase to the master bedroom comprising the second floor to indulge in lovely views of the inner harbour bowl and pastel-painted houses before bedtime. Soak up the fresh, clean coastal air by dining alfresco in the enclosed raised courtyard and catching some stunning sunsets over the bay.

Proudly nestled on the southern edge of the wonderful English Riviera, it’s easy to see why the beautiful harbourside town of Brixham is so irresistible, offering a famous daily fish market, boat trips from the picturesque harbour, plus opportunities for canoeing and kayaking. Explore this designated UNESCO Global Geopark from its best watery angle by jumping aboard a boat trip from Brixham Harbour less than half a mile away to discover the true unspoilt beauty of the River Dart. Back on dry land, enjoy a paddle in the calm waters of Breakwater Beach at the mouth of the harbour, or hop along the English Riviera to explore the building towns of Torquay (8.5 miles) and Paignton (6 miles).

This is a very well equipped home which has been tastefully decorated, there are views over the harbour from the master bedroom. A great location, within walking distance of the town but also close to the parks for walking the dog with beautiful views over the bay/marina Will be booking again soon

The property was very cosy & felt welcoming. Clean and tidy as well. Only a few minutes walk from the harbour, obviously easier going down then walking up but we knew this when booking. Lovely view of the coloured houses on the other side of the harbour. Very handy having the parking permit for the church which was a 2-3 minute walk only.

The rubbish was only collected on Friday ( the handbook stated 3 days) not specifically an issue but if the owners are paying for 3 collections it only happened once.
