This traditional fisherman’s cottage is located in the heart of Brixham, enjoying fantastic views of the harbour and out to sea. Sleeping up to five guests in three bedrooms, this delightful property would perfectly suit a holidaying family or couples looking for a romantic retreat. With the town centre, harbour and beaches all within walking distance, this home is the ideal base whether you’re looking to explore the English Riviera on land or water.

A warm welcome awaits as you enter this beautiful home, which has been styled with a shabby-chic theme throughout. The open-plan living space gives a light and airy feel, with comfortable sofas that are perfect to snuggle up on as you sit back and enjoy the views of the bay. On colder evenings, the cosy wood burner gives the room a lovely homely feel, which is perfect for relaxing in front of your favourite film. Make use of the well-equipped kitchen to rustle up a tasty dinner with the freshly caught seafood you’ve picked up during the day, before enjoying a family meal at the dining table. When eyes are feeling heavy, head upstairs to the restful bedrooms, which are on the first and second floor. Enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep before waking up to those spectacular views across the bay.

From Brixham, follow the South West Coast Path to Berry Head National Nature Reserve (1.5 miles), where you might be lucky enough to spot dolphins, harbour porpoises and grey seals. Leave the car behind and hop on the ferry, to enjoy a daytrip to the popular resort of Torquay. Slow the pace on Breakwater Beach, which is a few minutes from the cottage. It’s also a popular scuba diving spot and there are a number of local dive schools, if you fancy having a go.

We had a lovely stay at the cosy guillemot ottage in the fishing port of Brixham. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, with great appliances and thoughtful touches like a flask for taking drinks out on an early morning swim. The beds were comfortable and the views perfect! Watching the boats coming and going. The location was pRead moreerfect, close enough to enjoy an early morning sea swim, with the harbour, shops, and cafs within easy reach. We also appreciated that the cottage wasn't too far up the hill, making it much easier to come and go than some places in the area. A wonderful place to stay, and we'd happily return. Highly recommended! Hide

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The only issue we had was the toaster popping the toast up when it wasnt toasted despite altering the settings! We have reported so hopefully it will be replaced. Access to the cottage is down a narrow sloping lane which is very difficult to turn around so we had to reverse back up the hill once wRead moree had loaded which was a bit tricky, can I suggest that visitors should park up and find the cottage on foot before deciding where to unload.

The cottage was in a brilliant location for the shops and restaurants in Brixham. The only downside being it was a little difficult to get the luggage in as there are only steps to access the property. The best part was all the rooms had fabulous views of the harbour and bay.

Lovely cottage with everything you need, nice clean towels and bedding, comfy beds and outstanding views. The steps to the property would rule out anyone with mobility issues and although challenging (were not young) they were manageable.

Amazing location, views are wonderful. Unfortunately we found the property not to be very clean therefore it didn't feel very comfortable or relaxed. We ended up buying cleaning products to use. Quite sparse on 'stuff' you would usually have at a self catering property. 1 x loo roll, 1 x tea towel, 1 x towel each. Brixham is fab, some amazing walksRead more, lots and lots of steps which we didn't mind but definitely not suitable for those with limited mobility or a push chair. Hide
