Overview

Perched at the top of Queen’s Steps, just a short walk from Brixham harbour and the seafront, this spacious cottage combines the charm of a traditional property with modern furnishings and features, creating a beautifully comfortable base for holidays on Devon’s south coast.

Originally two cottages, the property has undergone an elegant transformation to combine both dwellings into one spacious home. On the ground floor, you’ll be welcomed into a big entrance hall that has sliding doors opening out to a fantastic balcony where wonderful views over the harbour and bay are on full display. Two sitting rooms (each with log burners and TVs) have had picture ‘windows’ cut out of the cottages’ original walls, allowing both the light and the views inside as you relax in comfort.

The large, contemporary kitchen is fully equipped. Whether you’re whipping up a quick snack or a family dinner, you'll have everything you need to make food prep a pleasure. This part of the property also has far-reaching vistas, in fact nearly every room in the cottage has an exceptional aspect out over the town, harbour and bay, which makes a stay here so very special.
Upstairs, two lovely, sea view double bedrooms offer restful spaces to unwind in, built-in cupboards for storage, and comfortable bedding to ensure a good night’s sleep.

Life in Brixham is centred around the harbour and marina, so guests at Bosuns Cottage will have the best of the town’s shops and eateries just a few minutes’ walk from the front door including Simply Fish, Albero, La Petit Maison, Curious Kitchen, Port Espresso and Rockfish. For those who enjoy a relaxing refreshment or light bite, The Price William lies below you on the marina, with Liberty’s, The Mermaid and Wine Loft just a short walk away. Sea swims and coastal walks are firmly on the agenda with the Breakwater and its beach being on the doorstep, and Berry Head Nature Reserve is a 5-minute drive where the most fantastic views are displayed across the sea and up the coast to Dorset.

*This property has steep access from the town and parking, as well as a flight of steep internal stairs which are narrow. The stairs have a rope bannister and can be lit at night using the light switch next to the built-in log store adjacent
