Nautical accents and quintessential country decor enhance the charm of this harbour cottage. Located in Brixham, an enviable holiday destination on the British Riviera, the cottage is ideally positioned to explore Devon’s pristine south coast and the wider South West Coast Path. Four guests are invited to leave the car behind and discover the area on foot, with the town’s boutiques, cafes, and eateries just a short walk away. Explore the stunning surroundings with a boat trip to Torquay (11 miles), or embark on a sea safari or dolphin-spotting excursion from the harbour, just metres from your doorstep.
This charming cottage is spread over four storeys of a listed 18th-century building, featuring exposed stone walls and impressive bay windows that add to its character. Each morning, wake up to sea views from the dining room and enjoy a hearty breakfast prepared in the kitchen just next door. Alternatively, sip your coffee while taking in the sea breeze from the courtyard or the roof terrace, which offers stunning views of the water. Inside, the lounge offers a cosy retreat for relaxing evenings, complete with a sofa, Smart TV, and a wood-burner effect electric fire to keep you warm. Two bedrooms – one king-size and one twin – and two bathrooms complete the property on the two upper floors.
The surrounding area of Torbay, which includes Brixham, Paignton (6.5 miles), and Torquay, is loved by many and offers a wealth of activities for guests of all ages and interests. For families, Splashdown Quaywest (5.5 miles), Paignton Zoo (6.5 miles), and the Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves (11.5 miles) are must-visit attractions. Of course, plenty of sunny afternoons can be spent on the beach or splashing around at Brixham’s Shoalstone Seawater Pool (0.5 miles).
