This remarkable property which is situated close to Brixham’s town centre has been stylishly fitted and furnished throughout, offering the perfect bolthole for couples all year round.

Located close to the town centre, with both Brixham Harbour (0.5 miles) and Berry Head National Nature reserve (1 mile) a pleasant stroll away, this lovely ground floor apartment is the perfect romantic retreat for a couple. A cosy home from home with elegant decor and comfortable furniture, the property has everything you need for a relaxed stay amidst the beauty and tranquillity of South Devon.

 

Adjacent to the owner’s own home, take the few steps down to the property and step inside. A bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner welcomes you straight away. With its warm splashes of colour throughout, comfy seating, and well-equipped kitchen for all your culinary needs, you can spend wonderful evenings in together. Sit down for a meal at the charming wooden table, then sink into a sofa to unwind in front of a film on the Smart TV. The pretty bedroom ensures a good night’s sleep, after a hot shower in the stylish en-suite wet room. In the morning, rise refreshed and head outside onto the patio, where the raised seating area is a wonderful spot for a morning cup of tea.

 

There are plenty of natural attractions to discover in and around Brixham, including Shoalstone Pool – a seawater lido – as well as Fishcombe Cove and St Mary’s Bay Beach, all of which are only 1 mile away from the property. Venture further afield for romantic day trips: travel in style on the Dartmouth Steam Railway, which calls at Churston Station (2 miles), or see the sights from the water on the UK’s last coal-fired paddle steamer at Kingswear (6 miles). Dartmouth Castle is also a stunning place to visit, complete with a tearoom for scones and a panoramic view, just a 6.5-mile drive from the property.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable, very well equipped annex attached to owner's home with lots of extra touches and in an ideal position, just a short walk down hill into Brixham. There is an off road parking space , with a few steep steps down to the patio (not enclosed) and entrance. Had a lovely week here .

Nice comfortable well equipped clean accommodation to stay in a good location. Steps from the parking area to the property are very steep if you have mobility issues but good to have a close parking space. Beautiful sea views from the garden area and only a short walk into Brixham. Shops are close by. Enjoyed the stay and would recommend

If I could give 10 stars and above for each of the ratings I would. The cleanliness and equipment were second to none. The furnishings and decor were superb. Debbie was so friendly and went over and above. Could not recommend highly enough and would live to live here all year round. Altogether pretty perfect Carolyn x

This property is not suitable if you have a disability related to mobility and you're description should make this clearer. Had I known I would have looked for another property. I will use your company again, it was just not the right property for me. Good location for accessing Brixham.

We had a lovely week staying at Ripon Retreat. The property was spotless and very comfortable! Debbie was very friendly! The only downside for us was the access from the car parking area, not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The access was 4 steep concrete steps, then a little footpath followed by another 7/8 steep concrete steps, both setRead mores of steps had handrails but were still difficult if carrying anything. Unfortunately we will not be returning due to the access! Hide

We had a really enjoyable and relaxing time. The accommodation was perfect and in a great location. Able to go out front entrance and walk down hill to harbour, or out the back entrance and onto the coastal path to Berry Head. Would highly recommend a visit. Small touches of kindness and treats for the dog were an added bonus. Thank you

Brilliant. Lovely little holiday apartment. In a very good location. Handy local shop to quickly grab some food, if it's stormy and you want to cook in. A great location for dog owners, with a nice dog walking/field area just 5mins walk away. To be balanced.. negatives (very minor things): carpet in bedroom needed a good wash clean, noticed some slRead moreight leakage from the toilet cistern. However... 9 out of 10, about as good as you'll get unless you want to pay for a 5star hotel Hide

Debbie is a perfect host and would recommend staying here as it is a lovely position and excellently equipped. Having parking is a bonus. We would return without hesitation. Would recommend Berryhead and Fishcombe cove for walks and cafes with a viewRead more. Lovely food at Prince William and good priced drinks with indoor table service.
