Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Brixham, Devon

Set on the picture-postcard English Riviera, this charming holiday home which sleeps six guests lies in the historic fishing village of Brixham. You’re within half a mile of the shops, pubs, beach, and town amenities, so it’s perfectly placed for families and friends who love to walk with canine companions by the sea. Explore the higgledy-piggledy lanes and colourful layers of Brixham.

Go crabbing on the harbour where you’ll find a full-size replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship, The Golden Hind. Step inside this beautiful property where period features harmonise beautifully with contemporary style. Curl up with a good book by the bay window in the living room with its original stone floor, cosy sofas, and sea views; or enjoy film nights on the Smart TV and DVD player.

Downstairs, you’ll find the open-plan kitchen and dining area where you can enjoy family meals together around the oak dining table; open the stable door for BBQ dining alfresco. When sleepy heads nod, snuggle up in the cosy bedrooms on the upper floors where the king-size bedroom boasts harbour views and a coffee machine for a great start to the day. Make champion sandcastles on Brixham beach, enjoy water sports, or refresh in the Shoalstone lido (1.5 miles).

Savour delicious seafood in local pubs, and eateries. Take a ferry to verdant Dartmouth or palm-lined Torquay. Discover the lofty limestone cliffs, lighthouse, and nature reserve on Berry Head (2 miles).

Plan a day’s hike in Dartmoor National Park (16 miles), or trundle through the wooded Dart Valley on the dog-friendly Dartmouth Steam Railway (5.5 miles) from Paignton, where you’ll also find wildlife and curious creatures at Paignton Zoo.
