Character Cottage Moments from Brixham Harbour

Step out of the door and into the heart of Brixham, harbour life, coastal walks and cosy cottage charm await.
Originally built in the 1800s, this beautifully renovated fisherman’s cottage offers a warm and welcoming retreat for up to four guests, just moments from the harbour. With characterful interiors, inviting outdoor spaces and a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings, it’s the ideal base for couples, families or friends seeking a relaxed South Devon escape. Furry friends welcome.

Here at Your Devon Escape we intend to leave you alone to enjoy your visit but we are on hand to assist with queries if required.

You will find Brixham Harbour a ten-minute walk away which is home to plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants serving today’s catch straight from the bay. Enjoy paddle boarding on the nearby Breakwater Beach or swim in the Shoalstone Outdoor Pool.

Brixham is a favourite all year round for dog lovers and walkers alike. The coastline at Brixham is dominated by one of the UK’s greatest and best-loved nature trails – The South West Coast Path. Just down the road (via the number 18 bus or a ten-minute drive) is Kingswear. Hop on the steam train to Paignton, Churston and Totnes from here. Or take the upper or lower ferry across to Dartmouth; this is simply a must. The ferry from Brixham Harbour takes thirty-minutes to Torquay where there are excellent restaurants, beautiful coastal walks and great beaches.
