  • Beautifully converted character property a stone’s throw from Brixham harbour
  • Boasting two master suites and a south-facing private balcony
  • Within easy reach of the coast path and its breathtaking sea views
Property code: BX072

This historic building, located a short distance from Brixham harbour, is well positioned to enjoy scenic views and the amenities found in the pretty hillside village of Brixham. There’s ample space for all the family, with four bedrooms sleeping a total of seven guests. The property boasts a sunny south-facing balcony, where guests will be able to relax and enjoy a morning cuppa before embarking on a day of adventure. Coastal walks and sheltered coves are all within a short distance from the property.

Originally a structure built to accommodate and manufacture sailboats, this tall, narrow building has now been tastefully converted into a stylish cottage that suits contemporary living. A characterful space, the cottage is entered on the first floor via steps leading to the main open-plan living space with its own balcony. The lounge area has a restful, neutral interior, with comfortable sofas and a beanbag providing the perfect spots to watch a film. Two bedrooms can be found on the floor below, one of which is a master king-size with an en-suite, providing flexible sleeping spaces for a large family. The highlight of the property is the second master bedroom, which can be found on the top floor and also boasts an en-suite. This impressive space has a vaulted ceiling, adding to the room’s grandeur. A single bedroom, also with a vaulted ceiling, can be found on this floor, too.

Brixham is a wonderful place to explore, with the harbour less than 1 mile away from the property. A walk of just 1.5 miles brings you to Fishcombe Cove, an idyllic beach location for all the family. Grab your buckets and spades, and help the little ones build sandcastles in this stunning area. Animal lovers can go wild at Paignton Zoo, just 5.5 miles away, where budding zoologists can find themselves up close and personal with, amongst others, a komodo dragon!

The cottage is well equipped with all you need in the kitchen for breakfast etc. The position it very good, although there is a small hill which is quite steep & a bit uneven to the side of the property leading to the harbour, this initially caused concern for one of our party as she is over 75 & found the hill a bit difficult. If you are reasonablRead morey fit no problem. Paking a bit of issue & we mostly parked further up the hill on side roads. We did enjoy our stay though. Hide

This is excellent accommodation in the centre of Brixham. The Manor Pub is less than 30 metres away and we could hear noise on Sat. to Mon. But this was the Pirate Festival weekend (which we went for) and The Manor was very busy. The noise did not bother us at all and I imagine at other times this is not a problem. Parking is an issue, we used a siRead morede road 5 minutes away, which was perfect. En-suites in main bedrooms and an extra bathroom on the ground floor, all spotless. We hope to be back. Hide

The Old Sail Loft is a lovely house and the 7 of us really enjoyed our stay. Parking was less than 10 mins away. Recommend the Rockfish restaurant, but you may need to book to get a table.

A very comfortable and well equipped house. Access and parking when we were there (March before the Easter holidays) was not a problem, but clearly could be at the height of the season. Torbay Council have recently changed their car park charges, so the instructions need to be brought up to date.
