Overview
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

Welcome to Brixham
Brixham holiday cottages offers getaways that feel a world away from the daily grind. 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.

A Wonderful Cottage stay with Amazing views
4.5/5
4.5/5
We had the most wonderful two weeks at Bosuns Cottage and honestly didnt want to leave! We were so lucky with the beautiful sunshine, but the amazing views from the cottage made our stay even more special. The cottage itself was beautiful, comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds were really comfortable, the Smart TV was a lovely bonus, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Sitting back and enjoying the stunning views was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The cottage is in such a beautiful and peaceful location and was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We had the best time and made some lovely memories here. The only slight downside was that there was no guaranteed parking space. Luckily, we were able to find a space as close to the cottage as possible, although there were around 8 steps down to the cottage. This wasnt a problem for us, but it is worth being aware of when booking. We would absolutely love to return and wouldnt hesitate to recommend Bosuns Cottage to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway. A truly wonderful holiday from start to finish!

Too many unaddressed minor issues
3/5
3/5
Nice property with lovely views from the large balcony and bedroom. Fitness required to access the property coming up the steep steps from the quay. Great location, very central, parking like most of Brixham is pot luck. 2 small double beds in the 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom (with a nice shower) cottage. Kitchen facilities done to a high standard, view fantastic. Rented other property from Luxury Cottages previously and was impressed with the standard. On this occasion however the number of small omissions began adding up. What wasn't there on arrival: No hand towels as advertised - took a week to get them. No oven gloves - took 4 days from my text to the housekeeper. (Previous guest reported this on June 1st'26) - ended up sorting my own. No shower mat supplied (wasn't advertised but would be usual to supply). What didn't work: The toilet seat became an unsecure fair ground ride, took 4 days to get fixed, just needed tightening. Left hand bedroom window didn't work properly. 2 out 3 oven dishes had cracks - the large one leaked when I tried using it. Both TVs frequently lost signal, ended up on my iPad to watch the World Cup match. The "Smart" TV, a fairly old Sony Bravia wasn't set up for apps, so not so smart after all. Other: Freezer needed defrosting, large amounts of ice restricted the top drawer in particular. Food was still present on the charcoal BBQ from a previous guest - I left it a lot cleaner than I found it! Cobwebs up the stairs onto the landing - we cleaned most of them off. Housekeeper: Very difficult to get hold of by phone or text, no response to a number of calls. Asked via text on Friday evening for oven glove location; no response. I did get an immediate response on Sunday when I texted that I intended to go and buy some. Apparently my initial text had only just come through 2 days later! Handyman didn't get called to fix the toilet seat for 3 days. He also tried but was unable to fix the TV issues; nothing further was done about that. At one point I was basically told that we weren't a priority, at which point any attempt at communication seemed pointless. It was a shame that most of this is fairly trivial stuff and I would have thought easily monitored but the lack of effort to get it right was disappointing. At no point was there an "Oops sorry about that, I'll get it sorted as soon I can" attitude. Unfortunately it was more a "I'm very busy and you're not a priority" approach, not great from a guest perspective! Luxury Cottages were as helpful as they could be but unfortunately cant control the response and attitude of the housekeeper or owner, which is what spoilt the experience of staying at Bosuns Cottage. If the attitude with guest concerns was addressed more positively and promptly I would recommend this property; currently I wouldnt.

A room with a view
4.3/5
4.3/5
The cottage was absolutely wonderful. It was a little difficult to find at first, but once we arrived, we knew it was worth it. What an incredible location and what a view! From our bedroom window, we looked straight across the harbour at the colourful houses on the opposite side. The cottage consists of two former fishermens cottages, which probably once housed entire families. The added conservatory and kitchen make it even more inviting, and the terrace is simply perfect. We had beautiful weather and could easily have spent the whole day just relaxing at the cottage, but of course we also explored the area. We enjoyed wonderful walks, visited Greenway (Agatha Christies house) and Coleton Fishacre, and played some great rounds of golf. This was a truly special place, and I have a feeling well definitely be back one day.

Hi Carine, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave our property a review. It is so great to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views that the harbor has to offer. Thank you for your feedback in regards to your arrival at the property. As the cottage is in such a unique tucked away spot it can be a little tricky to find at first. We hope to welcome you back in future. Kind regards, The Luxury Coastal Team
