Overview

Built in the 1880’s, this landmark property in Brixham which was the former church hall, now boasts a stunning, modern interior with period features throughout.

Resting on Milton Street just a mile from the harbour and town centre, No.1 The Old Chapel is a beautiful old stone building with distinctive architectural features that nod to its former purpose as a church. Step inside however, and there’s a sense of drama and grandeur in the chic double volume entrance hall, where the property’s original arched windows and ornate leadwork expertly blend the old with the new. Light and bright with an upside-down layout, there are three lovely double bedrooms on the ground floor (all with Smart TV’s), and a stunning living space upstairs. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and access to a private conservatory that overlooks the pretty courtyard garden.

Upstairs, the open-plan living area includes a spacious lounge with a big L-shaped sofa and Smart, a lovely snug with its own TV and sofa bed, while the dining area has views has a Juliet balcony and views across St. Mary’s. The contemporary kitchen is large and well-equipped with high-quality Neff appliances so home-cooking is a dream, and there’s a separate utility / cloakroom where a tumble dryer and washing machine are housed.

Outside, the front garden has gravel and patio areas with an outside bench creating a fabulous spot for coffee in the sunshine, while the secluded courtyard garden at the back of the cottage is perfect for enjoying summer afternoons.

Perfect for guests with their canines in tow, this property is just a couple of minutes’ walk from St Mary’s Park – a favourite exercise spot for local dog owners. The secluded Man Sands Beach is roughly half an hour’s walk away through the lanes and countryside, making for a lovely morning our afternoon out with the hounds.

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.

An Extremely Disappointing Stay
2.2/5

Our stay at Midholm Chapel (1 The Old Chapel)(5th12th September 2026, Ref: 170907) was, without doubt, one of the dirtiest holiday properties we have ever rented. Booked through Luxury Coastal for a birthday trip, the experience fell far short of the advertised standard due to appalling cleanliness and poor property management. Arrival & Security Issues: We struggled to get entry assistance as the local contact was unreachable. When we found the key box, it had been left completely open with the keys visible to anyone. The keypad numbers are so heavily worn that the code is easily guessed, posing a clear security risk. Severe Cleanliness Failures: The bottom oven was uncleaned, the cooker hood was caked in grease, and the toilet brushes were disgraceful. Carpets were stained and covered in dog hair; when we attempted to clean up ourselves, we found the vacuum cleaners full and unemptied. Poor Maintenance & Amenities: The fridge was missing its bottom door shelf (causing opened bottles to leak), the emergency torch had no batteries, and no recycling bins were provided. Safety Concerns: There were no fire safety instructions visible, no evidence of PAT testing on appliances, and no copy of a Fire Risk Assessment. While cleaning issues are partly on the housekeepers, ultimate responsibility lies with Luxury Coastal and their Property Manager. Having previously used Hoseasons and Sykes many times without issue, this first experience with Luxury Coastal was deeply disappointing. We cannot recommend this property or agency. And shortly after our return, we received an email from Luxury Coastal asking if I would like to book again with a 5% discount - I don't think so.

Midholm Chapel July 2026
3.7/5

Midholm Chapel was spacious , well equipped and comfortable base for our recent stay in Brixham, the location is close enough to easily get to the town and seafront but far enough out to be quiet. The house was let down by a few faults which should be easy to fix but had not been and calls to the contact number did not result in the promised response to issues raised. We enjoyed our stay at Midholm Chapel but were left frustrated by the issues and the lack of response when these were raised.

Andrew, 25 Jul 2026

Hi Andrew, thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you found Midholm Chapel to be spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We do agree with the location, it is great! We do apologise that there was no result with the issues that you had raised and we do of course understand your frustration with this. We will speak to the team further to ensure that everything you have mentioned has been rectified. We do hope that we can welcome you back to stay with us again. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.
