Overview
This lovely home with its Victorian terrace facade and beautifully designed interior creates a fabulous coastal retreat for all the family. Recently refurbished to a superb standard, the house which sleeps six, boasts three immaculate bedrooms along with airy open plan living / dining, a high spec kitchen, two bathrooms and an outdoor utility and games room. Gorgeous furnishings, fabulous wall art and contemporary styling are surpassed only by the exceptional views of the harbour and bay which can be enjoyed from all three floors of the cottage, so whether early risers or night owls, guests can witness the changing moods of the sea and town below from their own unique vantage point.
With attention paid to every detail by the home’s owners, expect superior quality throughout, like luxurious beds from Feather & Black with Harrison Spinks and Hypnos mattresses, Sonos Bluetooth speakers, Grohe rainfall showers and furniture by brands like Loaf and Habitat. Outside there’s a sun-drenched furnished terrace for those all-important evening drinks or for alfresco dining, and for those partial to sunbathing or to catching up on their holiday reading in the fresh air, they'll be able to laze back on the balcony and soak up the views.

Welcome to Brixham
There’s a nostalgic feeling to Brixham holidays that makes them feel a world away from the daily grind; a friendliness from the locals who call the town home as well as a tangible connection to its seafaring past. This picturesque town perched quietly on Devon’s south coast is still a bustling fishing port, where clusters of colourful cottages in every shade of the rainbow seemingly tumble down the hill towards the harbour’s quay, with boats and trawlers offloading their daily hauls ready to be transformed into the local restaurants’ ‘catch of the day’.

Stayed with my kids and their partners which relegated me to the twin bedroom at the front. Obviously meant for children with plastic under sheet on beds. Not a problem but the duvet was very small and due to the type of blind the room was always light either from natural or street lighting. Great location and view.
PETER, 19 Apr 2024
Hello Peter, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you enjoyed the location and the view from the property. The twin room does have standard-sized singles but completely understand you'd rather be in the bigger beds! We would love to welcome you back sometime in the future. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

Absolutely Fantastic

The house is brilliantly located and has the most wonderful views, especially from the master bedroom. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Brixham. Very clean, well-equipped and warm (it was January). The games room was a nice feature. The owners replied promptly to any queries and were very friendly. We had a great time and I would happily recommend this house.

Lovely Place to Stay
4.8/5
4.8/5
A very nice place to stay whilst visiting the area. The house is a triple split level with two bedrooms, wet room and toilet on the ground floor with access via a patio door to outside steps leading up to the patio, the games room and, eventually the garage. The outside steps are quite steep with no handrail along the first couple of flights. The steps can be quite.slippery when wet. Back inside and up the internal stairs takes you to the kitchen and the very comfortable lounge and dining area which has some magnificent views over the harbour. The kitchen is very well appointed but a bit cramped when four people are all in at the same time, so Derek and I chose to stay out at all times and look after the wine bottles in the lounge. Continuing up stairs from the lounge is the master bedroom which has full glass patio doors with a magnificent panoramic vista over the harbour and miles beyond. We watched the numerous fire works going off as our visit coincided with bonfire night. Through the patio doors is a small balcony which would be loverly to sit out during a a balmy summer evening with a glass or two of your favourite amber nectar. There is also a separate shower room and toilet located on this floor. The beds are extremely comfortable and encouraged a lazy lay in. There is access through the kitchen to the outside steps which lead up to the patio games room and eventually to the garage. There are lights along the steps which are operated from the kitchen. Access to the front door is up a short but steep set of steps and the road is extremely narrow and care needs to be taken. Once luggage has been dropped off the car can be driven back up the hill to the road at the rear.where the garage is located and walked to either by the rear steps or by walking round, which we chose to do. When we arrived we had no idea where the garage was located as this isn't clear on the promotional blurb but I think another postcode or map should be shown or offered. When we arrived we found that the owners had left a couple of gifts to welcome us to the house which were very much appreciated. This is a loverly house in a great location but a certain level of physical fitness is required if intending to walk into town and back. It is definitely not suitable for the infirm or wheelchair users as there is no access for such. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wishing to stay in and explore the Brixham area

Thank you Roy for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind words. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed Brixham and took the job of guarding the wine bottles very seriously! Thank you too for your feedback about the directions for the garage which future guests will find is attached to their Arrival Letter emails. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again one day. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.
