Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Brixham, Devon

Sleeping two, this stunning split-level apartment is perfect for romantic getaways. Stylishly refurbished to include fresh minimalist decor, oak furniture and a modern kitchen, this contemporary bolthole also boasts breathtaking sea views towards Lyme Bay. A short stroll will bring you to the town’s breakwater, harbour, beach and array of shops and eateries, ideal for those hoping to forget the car for a few days.

The stunning lounge/diner with window seat is where you will spend most of your time. Prepare delicious meals for two in the chic modern kitchen before sinking into the inviting sofa that looks out over the ever-changing coastal vista. When you can finally tear your eyes away from the sea view, make the most of the TV/DVD or relax with a good book.

In the eaves, the elegant double bedroom is a restful space with dressing table and TV for those long lazy mornings in bed. Brixham is a bustling harbour town with plenty to see and do. Wander the charming streets, which are lined with independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs before taking a stroll along the breakwater to admire the views of the town from the end.

Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice between the peaceful Fishcombe Cove (0.5 miles), the sealife haven of Shoalstone (1 mile) and popular Breakwater (1 mile), all of which are within easy reach. Take to the water with a boat trip to nearby Dartmouth (5.5 miles) or Torquay (8.5 miles) or follow the South West Coast Path to Paignton (5.5 miles).
