This cottage is really well appointed and everything is supplied you could possibly want, the location is only ten minutes to the harbour but beware it's a very steep area. The upstairs of the cottage has a spacious bedroom and bathroom both excellent but with limited storage space. The stairs are steep and winding which could be a problem for anyoRead morene with mobility issues, the downstairs lounge / kitchen is a nice space but quite small and the cottage has very limited outside space.

A great little cottage in a great location, very comfy and quiet in the middle of everything. If your not mobile the hills will be a struggle although we downloaded the brixham taxi app and used them a couple of times when we couldn't be bothered to walk back.

Great little apartment. It was a worker's cottage but has been successfully renovated to make it into a cute cottage. Colin was a fantastic host, providing lots of local information and responding to all requests quickly. Parking is right but we found a spot outside and the walk down into the harbour is not too difficult. Great stay.
