The pastel-coloured cottage sleeps five guests and is perfect for families and groups of friends seeking a relaxing coastal escape.

From here, an archway leads to a sociable dining area, with ample bench-style seating for everyone, around a large wooden table.

This was a really lovely cottage and very spacious - perfect for our family of four. Beautiful views and the extra provisions such as the Nespresso machine and Bose speaker were appreciated. Kitchen equipment all in good working order and high quality. Bedrooms very spacious and comfortable beds. Easy access to town down either a few flights of staRead moreirs to the harbour or down a very steep road without steps - doesn't take long though. The park out the front is a great asset as is the playground around the corner. Car parking is tight - although we always found a space on the same road you get very good at tight parallel parking and the road is a busy as drivers use it is a cut-through. But this is the same pretty much anywhere along the coast! Hide

A lovely stay at this house, spacious and comfortable with the majority of home comforts provided to make the stay an enjoyable one. The shower is powerful albeit a bit low for anyone tall, but better than most holiday lets. Parking near the house was an issue for all but one of the days we stayed, mainly due to inconsiderate parking by others. TheRead more park opposite the house is ideal for anyone with dogs, and this leads to steps that take you down to the harbour which is an enjoyable 10 minute walk. Hide

April Cottage is a lovely place to stay in a fantastic location. Waking up to the spectacular view of Brixham Harbour was the perfect start to each day, and the short walk into town and easy access to the South West Coast Path meant we never had to use the car. Parking can be a bit hard to find, but there are lots of lanes around and it should be eRead moreasy enough to always get a space within about a 5 minute walk from the cottage. The property was very comfortable and very well equipped, and we all slept well - probably a combination of the cosy beds and the fresh air and beautiful walks in the area. We would definitely stay here again. Hide

This is the second year we have spent time at April Cottage. We love the location, the space and the comfort of the cottage.

April Cottage was very well appointed and conveniently located within 10 minutes walk of the Harbour and shops. Also benefits from a delightful view across a recreation ground, suitable for exercising a dog and the marina below. We would have no hesitation in returning at some point.

We had an amazing stay here as a family of four with our 10 year old and toddler. The house is beautiful, in a wonderful location, with amazing views. It was really clean when we arrived, very comfortable and spacious and had most of the things we needed. Kitchen was very well stocked and even had plastic childrens cups, plates and bowls which was Read morereally useful. We bought our own bed guards to fit on the single bed for our toddler, but hadnt thought of the stairs. Whilst beautiful, the stairs are a bit difficult with a wilfull toddler, so if you are in the same boat as us, you may want to bring your own travel stair gate. We had such a fabulous time at April Cottage and are already looking forward to returning next year. Hide

We loved our stay at April Cottage. We stay in Brixham probably twice a year and have done so for more than 7 years, so all in all have stayed in many apartments and cottages in the town. For many reasons, this was one of our very favourites. For the three of us (two adults, hulking teenager and dog) it was perfectly spacious and we loved the open Read moreplan layout downstairs. The huge family dining table was wonderful and the views from the lounge window were gorgeous, right down to the Breakwater. Being just a few minutes' walk (downhill) into town was excellent because it was very quiet, there was parking right outside the door - SO rare in Brixham - and there were places to walk the dog first and last thing right on the doorstep. The walk back from town regularly brought us past The Manor, one of our favourite spots, so the walk back up hill was nicely broken up! The quality of furniture and everything provided was excellent - we managed to cook a full Christmas dinner without any problem at all. And Rob, the owner, was really friendly and helpful. The welcome gifts of wine, card and even some crackers were thoughtful and much appreciated. We wanted a relaxing family Christmas break with our dog, somewhere comfy and cosy - and that's exactly what we got with April Cottage. Would highly recommend. Hide
