Overview
Property code: 57892

Try something rather special overlooking the beautiful seaside town of Brixham. This delightful property, with its wonderful views and excellent location just a short walk from the town and beach, is ideal for a large family or friend group.

Everything you could possibly need on holiday is here in this tranquil setting, with tasteful high-standard equipment and decor. With plenty of space inside and out, delight in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, ideal for sociable time together. Relax under the gaze of soft lighting, casting a warm glow on the creamy colour scheme. Picture windows embrace the light, so unwind in these amazingly calming surroundings. A refreshing rainfall shower adds to your wellbeing. The patio and garden area is the ideal place for breakfast in the sun with plenty of seating for all or perhaps partake in a Devon cream tea on the balcony. Listen to the church bells on Sunday, as you overlook breathtaking Brixham. At the end of a day exploring, there is plenty for all to enjoy inside including a Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker and PlayStation 3.

The property is in the beautiful English Riviera area of Torbay. Brixham, with its breakwater, is also known for its harbour, fishing and sailing, where trawlers and day boats meet. Visit the replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship, Golden Hind (0.5 miles), to go back in time. You can even take a dip in Shoalstone Pool (2 miles), the iconic art deco sea lido. Try Berry Head National Nature Reserve (2 miles) with nature trails and a working lighthouse. St Mary’s Bay Beach (shingle and sand) is within 2 miles – also check out Paignton (6 miles) or Torquay (9 miles). It is only 6 miles to Kingswear for the Dart Steam Railway or take a ferry from there to Dartmouth.

Lovely accommodation and very comfortable. Stayed at Salmon Leap two years ago. Close to all the amenities. We were a group of ladies who enjoy walking so can recommend the Dart Trail. We also walked to Paignton and got the boat back.

Nice house, plenty of space, 5 mins walk to town using steps so probably not best for those who cant manage hills and steps. Great views and lots of games etc to use in the house. Plenty of equipment in the kitchen.

Lovely property in a great location with the added bonus of private parking. It was great to be able to easily walk into town and to the harbour.. The fish shop at the market is great and the fish & chips from Brixham Fish were fantastic. We did experience some noise from the flat above for a couple of days which we weren't expecting.

We all had a fabulous time at Salmon Leap. The kitchen and utility room are well-equipped and the bedrooms/bathrooms are clean and comfortable. The open-plan living area gives an epic view to the other side of Brixham and beyond. A stay is highly recommended!

Great house, a short stroll from the harbour albeit some steps to manage, but was manageable for our group. The outside area is lovely and as the weather was so good we used the bbq on a couple of occasions. Brixham is a lovely place to visit and us with reach of some other places, Totnes, Dartmouth in particular which we thoroughly enjoyed. We wouRead moreld definitely come back !! Hide

The property is spacious, comfortable and well positioned with lovely views over the town. Convenient for shops, pubs and restaurants which are a short walk either via steps or road down to the town.

Our stay at Salmon Leap was truly delightful. The property was well-equipped and incredibly comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the standout features was the big bifold doors, which were a lovely addition. They allowed us to seamlessly bring the outdoors in, creating a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor livinRead moreg. While the property met almost all our needs, a downstairs loo would have made it perfect. Would definitely recommend. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Salmon Leap. Very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Great outside space for a barbecue in the evening and the added bonus of a designated parking space. Just a short stroll to the harbour, not so easy coming back up though. This will be our first choice for our next visit to Brixham.
