This attractive apartment in the bustling harbour town of Brixham is a perfect coastal retreat for families/friends. Situated by the coast in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are endless opportunities to get out and enjoy the fresh, sea air. The South West Coast Path runs through the town, there are sandy beaches in every direction and the Berry Head National Nature Reserve is within a mile. The apartment’s town centre location means there is a wealth of pubs/restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets right on your doorstep.

 

Accessed via via a shared entrance and up two flights of staircases,  this bright and airy apartment has plenty of space for everyone to relax. The contemporary open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is cosy and inviting with views of the town, whilst the kitchen has everything you’ll need to showcase your inner masterchef. There are two spacious king-size bedrooms which are well-presented to ensure a good night’s sleep. Completing the accommodation is a large shower room, decorated with modern metro tiles to create an urban, yet coastal, feel. Outside, a small, decked area allows for some al fresco dining in the clean sea air.

 

Soak up the English Riviera on one of Brixham’s many boat trips/ferry services, but if you’d prefer to stay on dry land, hop on the Dartmouth Steam Railway as it passes through on its way to Kingswear (6 miles). From here, you can catch a ferry to the popular, upmarket town of Dartmouth, with its independent shops and acclaimed eateries. For kids (big or small), Splashdown Quay West Waterpark (5 miles) and Paignton Zoo (4 miles) are a must. Alternatively, spend a lazy day on one of the many sand or pebble beaches nearby.

Added bonus was the private outdoor sitting area which our dog loved and so did we with a nice glass of wine after a busy day out. Will definitely be booking there again.

This an exceptional property situated very close to the harbour the only problem are the 2 flights of stairs it could be a difficult if you are not very mobile, I found them no problem but my companion less so. This is not a criticism just a word of warning if you have mobility issues.

We found the apartment very comfortable and a great location by the harbour. Pub across the road a little noisy at weekends. Kelly and the restaurant manager down stairs were extremely helpful throughout our stay and made us feel very welcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending the property and would like to return again in the future.
