  • Beautifully converted character property a stone’s throw from Brixham harbour
  • Boasting two master suites and a south-facing private balcony
  • Within easy reach of the coast path and its breathtaking sea views
Property code: BX072

This elegant cottage once played a central part in Brixham’s proud maritime heritage and has since been beautifully updated to create a stylish property with a chic contemporary feel. The sunny balcony is a fantastic space to enjoy al fresco dining at the end of a fun day on one of the town’s beaches, several of which can be found within a mile of the property.

On entering this cottage on the first floor, a set of stairs leads to the light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner from which the sunny balcony is furnished with a table and chairs inviting guests to sit out with evening drinks. Two bedrooms, a twin and an en-suite king-size room can be found on the ground floor, as well as a bathroom with a shower over bath. The master bedroom, meanwhile, occupies its own space on the second floor of the property: a stylish room with a beamed vaulted ceiling and an en-suite bathroom. Also on this floor, there is a delightful single room, again with a characterful beamed ceiling and reduced head height.

Brixham is a great choice for those who want to enjoy a traditional seaside holiday. This cottage is situated at the heart of the town just a few hundred metres from the harbour and a good range of shops, restaurants and takeaways. On either side of the town there are several beaches, all of which are less than a mile from the property, including the popular Shoalstone Beach with its tidal lido.

  • 4 bedrooms – 2 king-size bedrooms with TV and en-suites, 1 twin and 1 single with space for a travel cot
  • 3 bathrooms – 1 en-suite shower room, 1 en-suite bathroom with shower over bath, 1 family bathroom with shower over bath, and 1 separate WC
  • Electric oven, fridge/freezer, electric hob, microwave, washer/dryer, dishwasher, kettle and toaster
  • TV and DVD player
  • Wi-Fi included
  • Highchair, booster cushion, travel cot and children’s cutlery available
  • Parking available close by in Brixham Central Car Park
  • Brixham is busy fishing village situated on a very steep hill, so access to some parts of the village can be challenging
  • This property is situated in the central harbour area so access to local amenities is reasonable straight and level.
  • Please contact us if you have specific requirements
  • Maximum occupancy 7, including infants
  • Arrival: 15:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details

The property is perfectly located close to the harbour, and easy walking distance to all amenities. The house is well equipped, spacious, and comfortable. We had a fantastic trip, and would definitely stay again.

This is excellent accommodation in the centre of Brixham. The Manor Pub is less than 30 metres away and we could hear noise on Sat. to Mon. But this was the Pirate Festival weekend (which we went for) and The Manor was very busy. The noise did not bother us at all and I imagine at other times this is not a problem. Parking is an issue, we used a siRead morede road 5 minutes away, which was perfect. En-suites in main bedrooms and an extra bathroom on the ground floor, all spotless. We hope to be back. Hide

We had a lovely stay. Plenty of room for the seven of us. Great location (ten minutes walk to long term car park which wasnt too much of an issue). Would definitely recommend.

The Old Sail Loft is a lovely house and the 7 of us really enjoyed our stay. Parking was less than 10 mins away. Recommend the Rockfish restaurant, but you may need to book to get a table.

A very comfortable and well equipped house. Access and parking when we were there (March before the Easter holidays) was not a problem, but clearly could be at the height of the season. Torbay Council have recently changed their car park charges, so the instructions need to be brought up to date.

Lovely cottage, great home comforts in a close location to central Brixham. If driving you would need to park at a long stay car park which is a 10-15 minute walk back to the house each time you go out for the day. Very comfortable property, it can sleep 7 and was fine for us as some of the guests were children. If it was 7 adults space might be a Read morebit tight.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was outstanding with the 'majestic master bedroom' like a cherry on the cake! I was going to give 9 out of 10 for location but we ventured into the 'historical Manor Pub' opposite the property and realised what a great location this really is!
