Property code: BX043

Situated less than a mile from the South West Coast Path where there are scenic coastal views, this traditional fisherman’s cottage in Brixham offers a delightful stay to guests looking for a seaside retreat. Bright and airy with original features, nautical touches and accessed by steps up to the front door, this cottage has plenty of character. Wake up in one of the comfortable bedrooms and open the blinds to let the sun stream in, before heading to the terrace to soak up some morning rays over breakfast.

Enjoy a relaxed holiday by taking advantage of the sun terrace, also accessed by steep steps, or enjoying an al fresco drink in the enclosed courtyard. The interiors embrace the calming blue and white tones of the ocean, as do the attractive furnishings. The lounge boasts beautiful exposed beams and a lovely cosy wood-burner set within an attractive stone fireplace, so you can cosy up around roaring flames in the evenings. After a long day of exploring, wind down with a soak in the corner bath before retiring to bed either in the double room or up steep steps to the snug second-floor twin room.

As you’re less than a mile from the centre of town you can take your pick of pubs, bars and restaurants to enjoy in Brixham. For some history, visit the Brixham Heritage Museum or the replica of the Golden Hind (both less than 1 mile). Shoalstone is a popular beach among children and adults thanks to its tidal pool (2 miles). For more beaches and attractions, Torquay is a 9-mile drive, where the English Riviera Wheel provides stunning views and Dinosaur World is hugely popular with kids.

  • Please contact us if you have specific requirements.

A beautiful traditional cottage tastefully decorated, which had everything you could ask for, for a comfortable stay. A great location especially if you have your pooches with you as there is a grassed area (with stunning views) a two minute walk up the road. The hosts were ready to answer any queries and they should be proud of this little gem. HiRead moreghly recommend Hide

Second time we've stayed at Holly Cottage in 4 months. Well equipped kitchen. Everything clean as expected. Bed is still just as comfortable. The raised outside rear patio is spacious but unfortunately the weather prevented us from using it. So I suppose we'll have to come and stay again!

Providing you are able bodied and don't mind the steep hills, Holly Cottage is a lovely place to stay with its lovely views over the town. There is a small walk down to the harbour and shops. A variety of places to eat and a bus station where you can catch a bus to a wide selection of places. The Beaches are fairly close by and lots of places to goRead more for walks. The cottage itself has everything you could need and is in a quiet location with easy access to the park if you need to walk the dog. Hide

Had a wonderful stay in Holly Cottage. The cottage was warm, welcoming & decorated for Christmas (a lovely surprise). The kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable & sitting room spacious enough for 4 people. We visit Brixham many times a year & will definitely book again. Highly recommend. A note: the wi-fi password is on chalkboard by the frontRead more door, I was so thrilled with the Xmas decs I didn't see it & made a call to the owner. Everything sorted but it was my mistake. Hide

A lovely comfortable cottage with all that you need. The stairs are very shallow and steep so not good for children or the elderly. The cottage is located quite high up so the walk to town is all downhill and the walk back is all uphill. The garden is not particularly dog friendly as it is on two level with steep stairs between the two.

A lovely little holiday cottage, perfect location a short walk from the Harbour. There is so much to see in Brixham and nearby, we actually only used our car once during our stay. The heating in the cottage was very good so after a days walking in the middle of January we had a cosy evening to look forward to.
