Property code: 87808

With homely interiors and a private balcony on each floor overlooking the harbour, this stunning home is the perfect bolthole for families and friends to enjoy a beautiful seaside retreat.

Boasting gorgeous coastal views at every turn, this beautiful retreat on Brixham Harbour sleeps four people over two bedrooms and is the ideal accommodation option for small families or groups of friends in search of the perfect break on the Devon coast. Watch the fishing boats sail out to sea as you sip your morning coffee on one of the property’s three balconies, and spend cosy evenings sampling the local seafood in Brixham’s charming eateries.

Step inside and head up the first flight of stairs to find a beautiful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Slip onto a sofa and take a moment to appreciate the beautiful sea views. When it’s time to eat, make your way to the chic kitchen and rustle up some dinner for your loved ones. Get everyone together to eat in the dining area, or head out onto the balcony and dine alfresco – the harbour views are wonderful. After dinner, treat yourself to a glass of wine on the balcony or retire to the sofa in the living room to chill out in front of the TV. When the day is done, you’ll find one stylish bedroom on the ground floor and one on the second floor. Both feature French doors that open out onto private balconies.

Spend happy hours exploring the quaint shops, cafes and restaurants of Brixham, or head to the harbour and hop on a boat trip - you may be lucky enough to spot dolphins. Pack up a picnic and head to Breakwater Beach (8.5 miles), or take a stroll through Berry Head Nature Reserve (1.5 miles). Take some time out to spot porpoises, seals and sharks from the vantage points beside its iconic lighthouse and Napoleonic fort. Alternatively, head into Paignton (6 miles) and hire a kayak or try your hand at coasteering.

Property itself was clean and comfortable. Close to all you need, shops bars and restaurants. More information about property would be helpful, I.e heating, oven , coffee machine. All in all a good holiday and locals all friendly. Also more about surrounding area information too.

We loved it. The location - convenient for everything. The views - stunning from all floors. Both bedrooms and shower rooms were lovely. It was perfectly clean, and a few minor issues with old radiators and new bathrooms were quickly sorted.

My elderly Mum managed, but found that difficult. And the wifi came and went. But a great place! Thank you. Hide

This is the closest you are likely to get to the harbour view anywhere in Brixham.its a great location .

The location couldn't be better. Parking is a 'challenge' but Oxen Cove and Freshwater are actually only a short walk away around the harbour. Immaculately clean.

This was a superb house to spend some relaxing time. Overlooking the harbour and right in the town centre, it was the perfect pitch to enjoy local restaurants or simply shop for cooking at home. All the rooms were well appointed, clean, and beautifully finished. We would highly recommend this accommodation in Brixham. Be aware that car parking is sRead moreome distance from the property, so travel light and shop local. It is possible to unload nearby, but on double-yellow lines and on a hill. Hide

Lovely cottage, nicely maintained, great views. Need to emphasise the lack of parking as it would ruin a holiday for the elderly with health issues or a young family. I had to do alot of ferrying to and fro with my elderly oarents and they did find the stairs a little difficult. A small grab rail may help on the first flight. Thankyou for having usRead more. Ian.
