Sleeping up to six guests plus two furry friends, this spacious cottage is ideal for a relaxing getaway on the English Riviera. From the property you'll enjoy lovely views across the pretty fishing town of Brixham and will soon slip into the slower pace of life, enjoying casual strolls along the harbour and magical boat trips around the bay.

The crisp, clean interiors of this three-storey property create a tranquil and relaxing living space, accompanied by rich furnishings to ensure comfort and cosiness. From the double bedroom, you'll discover panoramic views over Brixham – not a bad way to start the day! These far-reaching views are also enjoyed from the snug on the second floor. Outside is a small enclosed rear garden housing a bistro set, making it the ideal spot to sip a morning coffee.

Brixham is a small fishing town with buckets of character and charm. You'll be enchanted by the cute independent shops and abundance of galleries. During your stay take a stroll along The Strand on the harbour to visit Artists' Corner where you can witness local artists at work. Kids will love the activities onboard the Golden Hind Museum Ship (also in the harbour). It's a full-size replica of Sir Francis Drake's famous ship and is a great all-weather attraction. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to seafood – there are some exquisite restaurants in Brixham or why not pick up the catch of the day from one of the many fishmongers? Berry Head (2 miles away) really is a must, too. The nature reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is a fabulous spot for keen photographers and wildlife lovers.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Skippers. The cottage was a good size and the location near to the harbour and walking trails was fantastic. Everything is within walking distance from the cottage. Parking on the road above the cottage was easy even with the central location. The bedrooms were clean and tidy and the kitchen was very well equipped.Read more The sun room on the 2nd floor had great views and was great for board games on rainy days to keep the kids entertained.

The property was lovely the snug is a great little touch. The little garden is very little its more of a tiny cortyard but fine if you are taking a dog away as it is secure. The location of the property is fabulous just a short walk to the harbour. There is no parking at the property but we did manage to find a space up another street.
