Boasting fabulous sea views, this character cottage is just a short walk from the centre of bustling Brixham. Inside, a wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere for those chilly evenings while outside a sunny patio garden is the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine in the summer months. Explore Brixham with its quaint shops and eateries, delightful beaches and busy harbour before hopping on a boat to discover the rest of the English Riviera.

 

Inside this delightful home, a contemporary kitchen area is fitted with a Range oven and American-style fridge/freezer for feeding hungry mouths after a long day outside. Once prepared, enjoy meals together in the traditional dining room before hunkering down in the cosy lounge. With oak flooring, a wood burner and large picture window framing the breathtaking harbour view, this room is a wonderful space in which to relax all day long. Guests waking up in the master bedroom will be treated to the same stunning view in the mornings. Outside, the pretty patio garden is a pleasant space to enjoy the sun and those fabulous views.

Hairpin Cottage is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Brixham! Its location allows for picturesque views from almost every window. Its proximity to town and to wonderful walks makes it an ideal place to spend some time. It is a steep climb from the marina and harbor and the commercial part of town; and the cottage has stairs between the threeRead more floors so it may not be ideal for people with difficulties walking. We loved the place tremendously and I cant wait to return! Very accommodating! Hide

This house is brilliant for a family to relax .. I spent two of my days just looking out of the lounge window (binoculars are a must, and you'll never go out).

After a week there and seeing the amount of people who photograph the view from the road outside, gives you an idea of how good this view is... Hide

We had a fabulous week at the cottage, enjoying the views and the warm sunshine on the patio. We travelled there by train and taxi and being car-free suited us perfectly as the location was perfect for walking everywhere (Coop nearby) and boat trips. The striped information folder in the cottage includes a description of the steps down and back up Read moreso you can choose which ones to go down and up. Beds comfortable. Clean inside but windows a little dirty. No salt and pepper pots in the kitchen. Hide

Super views over the harbor, but the pay off is a very steep climb from the bay. Streets are very narrow around the property and there is only 1 on street possible space road at rear, but local neighbors get there first !
