Overview
Property code: 86879

Enjoy the Devon countryside, coast and tourist sights, from this lovely cottage which sleeps four guests and welcomes one dog. Perfect for a family getaway or a couple’s escape.

Hang up your coats or beach towels in the porch and head into the open-plan living space. There are some nods to history in this property with exposed brickwork and some quirky shelving and hatches. The inviting lounge/kitchen/diner is a great area to socialise together after a busy day exploring. Rustle up a hearty meal in the well-equipped and stylish kitchen, eat together around the dining table and then spend an evening playing games on the sofas, or watching a film on the TV and DVD player. Upstairs is two light and bright bedrooms as well as a family bathroom. To the rear of the property is an enclosed patio garden with table and chairs, ideal for al fresco dining and evening tipples.

Located in the heart of Brixham, part of the ‘English Riviera’, you will be close to everything you need such as shops, pubs and places to eat. The harbour (0.5 miles) is one of the busiest fishing ports in the country and is lined with colourful houses. From here, take a ferry to Torquay (8 miles) on the other side of the bay and sunbathe on the beach or enjoy one of the seafront restaurants. Head out on foot and take a stroll along the River Dart, or head 2 miles to the South West Coast Path which cusps the coastline of Devon and Cornwall.

A beautiful cosy cottage. Very comfortable and well equipped. Added bonus of on site parking, a Sainsbury Local and petrol station within a two minute walk plus nice pub serving food too. Ten minute level walk to main town and harbour. Brixham is well served by buses to Paignton, Torquay and Kingswear. A great find and we loved our week there

We had a lovely stay. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and provides easy access into Brixham, the stairs are steep so not suitable for the less able.

Great stay, cosy cottage only short walk to harbour. Car park space invaluable in Brixham. Regular bus service if you want to leave car behind our trip to Dartmouth on the bus was easy (hop on no. 18 by Brixham main car park to Kingswear and catch ferry to Dartmouth). Would recommend St Elmos.

Great cottage, with parking, which is at a premium in Brixham. Only a 20 minute walk to the harbour. The cottage is spotlessly clean, and has everything you could want.

We had a lovely stay. The only recommendation I would make to the owners would to be to invest in a comfortable mattress as it was back breaking for me.

Clean, tidy house that felt like a home from home. Very well thought about with everything supplied. Slight drawbacks: very tight driveway if you have a large car No grassed garden but there are small patches of grass across the road. (My dog wont wee on concrete).
