About this property

A hidden gem, steps away from the harbour

There’s something very special about holidays in Brixham. A South Devon town in Torbay made famous by its fish quay and working harbour, modern Brixham is awash with pretty cottages and ice cream shops, its vibrant atmosphere made even more enticing now that its foodie scene is flourishing. This is a lovely slice of the coastline and one that is particularly popular with families, owing to its proximity to some of Torbay’s best beaches and attractions, so if you’re looking for a fabulous getaway for both adults and children, it doesn’t get better!

The property’s two bedrooms (one a super king and one a twin) offer plenty of room for four guests, while the open plan living room and decked terrace sport wonderful views over the town and out towards the sea.

Inside there’s a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of worktop space, so if you fancy rustling up a home cooked creation or two, you’ll have everything you need to do so. When the weather’s bright you’ll be able to sit outside and enjoy afternoon drinks or fresh air dining while watching the sun set, and the apartment’s private garden gives children lots of space to play games or laze in the sunshine.

We ask our guests for a £100 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

This property accepts a maximum of 3 adults and 1 child. Children only over the age of 10 accepted.

*Please note that a lot of the town of Brixham is built on the hills surrounding the harbour below. This property is a short yet steep walk up a hill from the town centre.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The property was beautifully presented with a stunning view over Brixham harbour from both the large window in the living room and the balcony outside the master bedroom. Check-in was straightforward but be aware that there are 2 key safes outside the property which caused a little bit of confusion. The bathroom could do with a bit of TLC because the shower leaks and this is causing water damage. The flat is in a great location to walk down to explore Brixham or to drive out and explore the Torbay area. We parked easily in one of the side streets near the flat. The kitchen was well equipped and contains everything you could need for a short stay.

Lovely accommodation with great views

Lovely accommodation with great views over Brixham and the harbour. Clean and well presented. Main bedroom beds were very comfy, didn’t use 2nd bedroom. A bit of a squeeze but wasn’t a problem. Good storage space. Main lounge was roomy with comfy chairs and good TV access. Kitchen very clean and modern. Everything was switched off when we arrived including the fridge which we didn’t notice until the next morning! Well stocked with crockery etc but you’ll need to bring your own bin bags, foil, cling film, kitchen roll etc Bathroom had a good shower and storage. Good instructions about everything, which was useful, including the heating which took a while to warm up but was then lovely and comfy. Found parking up the hill on Mount Road, which was fine for us having dropped our luggage first by the entrance. Steep but short walk down to the town and harbour via steps, great yo be so close. Lots of eating places available, we went to Prince William Pub and Le Petit Maison, both excellent and great value. Walk to Berry Head was lovely and took about 40 minutes, well worth it for the views, also the breakwater walk about 20 mins to the lighthouse was lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Good views of Brixham

Instructions need to add that you go into gate and down steps. Clean and well equipped apartment with good views over Brixham. Can hear footsteps from flat above. Steps down to the shops make this a great location to explore town and harbour.
