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.
