Escape to the historic English Riviera town of Brixham with a stay at this stylish ground-floor apartment. The two-bedroom home is in an elevated hillside spot with leafy valley views. You’re less than 0.5 miles from Brixham harbour, which has been an important maritime centre for centuries – watch heritage trawlers unloading their catch alongside modern yachts and motorboats in the marina.
Perfect for a pet-loving couple or trio, the apartment sits within a small complex and has a bright, open-plan living space designed for easy holiday living. There’s plenty of room to cook, dine and unwind together, with a well-equipped kitchen tucked neatly into one corner beside a contemporary dining area. After a day out, sink into the sofa and stream your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Picture windows let in lots of natural light and fresh air. When it’s time to hit the hay, you’ll have two coastal-inspired bedrooms – one double and one single – along with a sleek shower room. While there’s no garden space here, private parking makes arrival and unpacking stress-free.
In Brixham, step back in time with a visit to the full-size replica of Sir Francis Drake’s Tudor galleon, the Golden Hind (0.5 miles), or enjoy a quieter wander through Battery Gardens (1 mile) and to Fishcombe Cove, where a small shingle beach sits sheltered by dramatic red cliffs. Keen walkers can follow the South West Coast Path in the opposite direction to Berry Head (1.5 miles), a National Nature Reserve surrounded by water on three sides and home to an iconic lighthouse and a Napoleonic fort. For a change of scene, venture to Kingswear (4.5 miles), where a ferry crosses the river to the charming town of Dartmouth.
