Further afield, you can take day trips along the English Riviera, to explore Dartmouth, Paignton, and Torquay (all within 10 miles).

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many events and festivals in the area like the Brixham Pirate Festival, England's Seafood Feast, Lanterns lights & 'luminations, Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Devon County Show.

The first-floor apartment is reached via a shared passageway to the rear of the Victorian building, followed by a spiral staircase and flight of stairs. Inside, the apartment has an air of grandeur, with high ceilings, period features, a chandelier and elegant furniture and accessories. The lounge/diner is bathed in natural light from the large sash windows and the soft furnishings are in hues to reflect the coastal setting. Gather here to share stories on the sumptuous sofas or dine together around the table. You’ll find additional dining space in the sleek kitchen, which has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. The two bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom complete this stylish holiday home. There is no outside space, but with Berry Head National Nature Reserve, the South West Coast Path, and several beaches within 2 miles, you’ll have ample choice when it comes to pre-breakfast strolls.

There’s so much to see and do in Brixham and the surrounding area. Take time to explore the town’s fascinating boutiques, galleries, and arts and crafts shops, before popping into one of the many eateries to sample the local produce and fresh seafood. If you fancy getting out on the water, head to the harbour to take a boat trip or board the ferry to visit Paignton or Torquay.

This was a great flat for an Easter break. We were a family of four with a dog and loved it. It was very spacious and really nicely kitted out. The location is good in the centre, but can be noisy on Saturday nights as its opposite a pub. And if you do stay, travel light as there is no parking, so any luggage has to be transported from a carRead more park 5mins away. Then, its up the stairs to the flat. The long stay is a mile away as well. We would stay there again. Hide
