Overview
Property code: OC-BCHARB

A large holiday home with four bedrooms and flexible sleeping options, ideal for larger or multi-generational families and friend groups. The peaceful, elevated location above Brixham is perfect for people who want to be a little removed from the busy town centre but close enough to enjoy all the sights. Less than half a mile away is the historic harbour, which forms the hub of this busy fishing town, And it’s just over half a mile to the beaches of Fishcombe and Churston Cove. Walkers can join the South West Coast Path and discover more beaches or head through the Berry Head Nature Reserve, past the Shoalstone Seawater Swimming Pool (1 mile) to the shortest lighthouse in the UK at Berry Head (2 miles).

This spacious, stylish home has plenty of room for up to seven guests. From the hallway, enter the attractively finished kitchen, where you’ll find all the space and equipment you need to cater for your party, plus a long dining table with seating for seven. Head through to the comfortable lounge, where you’ll be struck by the beautiful sea and park view through the wall of patio doors. Relax on the two luxurious leather sofas or armchairs and watch the Smart TV or the flame-effect electric fire. Also, on the ground floor is a shower room. The first floor holds a second bathroom with a shower over the bath and the four bedrooms. The main bedroom features a king-size bed and wide windows with lovely views of the park and sea. The double bedroom also enjoys sea views while the single looks out at the park and has a Smart TV. The fourth bedroom also has a Smart TV and features zip-and-link beds which can be made up as twins or a super-king-size depending on your party's needs.

At the front of this property is a large patio with a table and seating. It enjoys expansive views of the dog-friendly park opposite, across Brixham to the harbour and out to sea. It's the ideal place to sit with an evening drink and watch the sun go down. A second smaller patio has a bistro table and chairs and is a lovely spot to sit with a morning coffee.

  • 4 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 double, 1 single, 1 super-king-size zip-and-link (can be arranged as a twin on request)

Fantastic Christmas week at Sail Away. The house had been beautifully decorated. Really well equipped with everything we needed and great location with such easy access to Battery Gardens and the coastal path. Weve stayed in multiple holiday lets in Brixham over the years and this definitely is one of the best.

We couldnt fault this property or the location. The owners had considered everything, and the kitchen cupboards were stocked with every plate, cup, glass, and utensil you could possibly need, and as a group of 6 we really appreciated the dishwasher. It was spotlessly clean, and the house was tastefully decorated with an appropriate nautical theme, Read morewith wonderful attention to detail, and felt newly done. It seemed very spacious for the six of us that stayed there. Having a garage to park our car in was a bonus, as was the terrace area where we sat and watched the sunsets over the harbour, and the dog walkers in the park next door. The views from the two back bedrooms are stunning. It was a short walk downhill to Brixham harbour and the town, and although it was a relatively steep walk back, there is a bus stop right outside the property. The bus routes from the town are very good and make it easy to get to Torquay, Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exeter for days out. We stayed there as a family of three generations (aged 16 to 77) and all of us agreed it was perfect and the owners had clearly made their guests comfort and convenience a priority. We highly recommend Sail Away (and Brixham) as a holiday destination. Hide

Access to harbour or local coves no good for people with mobility problems. Too hilly and too many steps. Otherwise very well equipped.

As a family of 5 we had an amazing week at Sail Away., There is so much to do locally as well as a short walk or drive away, from the free open air swimming pool, bars, restaurants ,boat trips and beaches. There was more than enough room for us all and there was more than enough equipment. You really don't need to bring anything but toiletries anRead mored beach towels. Having a shower room as well as a bathroom was great with taking 3 teenagers on holiday! Beds were comfy and everyone slept well. There was even a towel for the dog. There are buckets and spades, deck chairs, umbrellas and games/books for rainy days. The location was perfect, being outside of the harbour meant it was nice and peaceful but only a short walk down to the shops, beach and harbour. Although be aware , there are lots of steps down into the town! Local beaches are pebbles although that dint bother any of us, although I would say maybe invest in some beach shoes if you are planning on visiting the local coves and Blackpool Sands. There is a sandy beach at Broadsands Beach. I would definately recommends to friends and family and come back again Hide

Stayed at Sail Away for a week at the beginning of July really great location with a lovely park opposite, perfect for the dog, gorgeous sea views and short walk to the harbour with two fantastic pubs for pitstops on the walk back up the hill, the Queens Arms and the Manor. Sail Away was immaculate, super clean, lots of space and really comfortablRead moree, really well equipped kitchen, bathrooms very modern with good showers, perfect patio area with table and chairs to enjoy the sunshine and views of the sea, stunning sea view from lounge and bedrooms. Having the garage was a real bonus we have stayed in some lovely cottages in Brixham but parking is usually a challenge Sail Away took the stress away so we could pop out in the car on day trips knowing the garage was there when we got back! Highly recommend Sail Away and will be booking again for next year. Also I left an item in the house when we left and Original Cottages were really helpful in sending this back to me really quickly, I was impressed by this service. Hide
