Less than half a mile from the centre of Brixham, this traditional fisherman’s cottage is an ideal base for exploring South Devon. With exposed beams, an open fire and two sun terraces, it is a fantastic bolthole for year-round getaways. Explore bustling Brixham with its charming shops and eateries, busy harbour and beautiful beaches before jumping in the car or on a boat to visit the neighbouring towns of Paignton, Dartmouth and Totnes.

When you’re not dining out in Brixham town, rustle up delicious meals in the family kitchen/diner, which contains everything you should need. At the front of the house, a delightful lounge boasts exposed beams above, oak flooring below, a charming stone fireplace with open fire and a selection of DVDs for those quiet nights in. Upstairs, the bedrooms are light and airy with fresh neutral decor and wonderful views over the rooftops of Brixham. Heading outside, steep steps lead from an enclosed courtyard area up to a fantastic sun terrace. With a table and bench, this is a peaceful spot for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening sunshine.

Just a short stroll from the centre of Brixham, this property is within easy reach of the local shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. When the sun is shining, grab an ice cream and take to one of the local beaches, which include the peaceful Fishcombe Cove (0.5 miles) and the tidal pool at Shoalstone Beach (1 mile). When you have finished exploring the area on foot, jump on one of the many boat and ferry trips that leave Brixham harbour each day for neighbouring Dartmouth (5 miles) or Torquay (8.5 miles), or even try your luck on a fishing trip.

Second time we've stayed at Holly Cottage in 4 months. Well equipped kitchen. Everything clean as expected. Bed is still just as comfortable. The raised outside rear patio is spacious but unfortunately the weather prevented us from using it. So I suppose we'll have to come and stay again!

Providing you are able bodied and don't mind the steep hills, Holly Cottage is a lovely place to stay with its lovely views over the town. There is a small walk down to the harbour and shops. A variety of places to eat and a bus station where you can catch a bus to a wide selection of places. The Beaches are fairly close by and lots of places to goRead more for walks. The cottage itself has everything you could need and is in a quiet location with easy access to the park if you need to walk the dog. Hide

The kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable & sitting room spacious enough for 4 people. We visit Brixham many times a year & will definitely book again. Highly recommend.

A lovely comfortable cottage with all that you need. The stairs are very shallow and steep so not good for children or the elderly. The cottage is located quite high up so the walk to town is all downhill and the walk back is all uphill. The garden is not particularly dog friendly as it is on two level with steep stairs between the two.

A lovely little holiday cottage, perfect location a short walk from the Harbour. There is so much to see in Brixham and nearby, we actually only used our car once during our stay. The heating in the cottage was very good so after a days walking in the middle of January we had a cosy evening to look forward to.

Lovely comfy, cosy cottage in an excellent location . We stayed for 4 days & would have loved to stay longer. Cottage was well equipped if you want to cook in the property. 2 nice pubs within a couple minutes (if that) Queens & Manor and only a short walk to the harbour. Best way down is by the steps (Higher steps then Broad steps) hard going on thRead moree way back though so preferred Apters Hill then Station Hill. Would definitely recommend to friends & family Hide
