Situated in the heart of the bustling coastal town of Brixham, this beautiful reverse-level property makes the most of its waterside location.

Very nice stay very clean and good location we were very impressed by the gift of chocolate cake and milk in the fridge was a lovely touch. I'd recommend bringing a sleep mask as the outside lights make the bedrooms very light at night other then that it was very quite at night and the bed and pillows were extremely comfy

Absolutely loved our stay at Gorse Cottage & we will definitely be booking to stay there again. We have been staying in Brixham for over 30 years & this is by far one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. Fabulous views of the ocean & only a 5 minute walk to the beach & a 15 minute walk to the main town. Lovely & quiet place to relax.

What an absolute treasure of a find. With a view that no photo can do justice. Perfect location to reach many fantastic days out.

Had a lovely stay at this cottage - very comfortable!! Close enough to the centre of the Village to walk but far enough away to be quiet. Enjoyed breakfast overlooking the bay!

Lovely cottage with gorgeous views. We had a very comfortable stay and found the location excellent. Although there is no parking on site, we had no problem finding a space on Berry Head Road each day (2 mins walk) and could easily pull in outside the property when we needed to load/unload.

Firstly, this is a beautiful quirky upside down cottage. It's impeccably maintained, and fully equiped with everything you'll need. Secondly you must prepare yourselves for hours staring at the stunning view. We loved sitting in the lounge area watching the variety of boats on the harbour. In warm weather you can also do this from the patio area ouRead moretside the downstairs bedroom. Thirdly, the owners are the most pleasant and helpful people you could hope to encounter. You won't regret staying here. Hide
