The elegant apartment for four enjoys a fantastic, central location, with Brixham’s fabulous shops and eateries on your doorstep. A short 0.5-mile stroll brings you to the lively harbour, as well as the popular Breakwater Beach. Further afield, you can take day trips along the English Riviera, to explore Dartmouth, Paignton, and Torquay (all within 10 miles).

The first-floor apartment is reached via a shared passageway to the rear of the Victorian building, followed by a spiral staircase and flight of stairs. Inside, the apartment has an air of grandeur, with high ceilings, period features, a chandelier and elegant furniture and accessories. The lounge/diner is bathed in natural light from the large sash windows and the soft furnishings are in hues to reflect the coastal setting. Gather here to share stories on the sumptuous sofas or dine together around the table. You’ll find additional dining space in the sleek kitchen, which has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. The two bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom complete this stylish holiday home. There is no outside space, but with Berry Head National Nature Reserve, the South West Coast Path, and several beaches within 2 miles, you’ll have ample choice when it comes to pre-breakfast strolls.

There’s so much to see and do in Brixham and the surrounding area. Take time to explore the town’s fascinating boutiques, galleries, and arts and crafts shops, before popping into one of the many eateries to sample the local produce and fresh seafood. If you fancy getting out on the water, head to the harbour to take a boat trip or board the ferry to visit Paignton or Torquay. The town has some excellent beaches, from the family-friendly Shoalstone with its seawater pool to the secluded St Mary’s Bay, with its towering cliffs and turquoise waters.

Entrance to the property (roadside) needs to look more appealing. Notes need updating on how to access they refer to a black gate its grey, and better photos would be clearer on how to arrive. Road noise high and volume of passing people at night roadside (better windows needed) Alarm panel beeps for unknown reasons in hallway of flat, and takes aRead more long time to stop multiple times of day.

The apartment is really lovely and so well equipped. Perfect for our family of 4. Location for walking into brixham is great. Only downside was the traffic noise in the front bedroom which I know is unavoidable but my hope of being able to lay in bed a bit longer in the morning wasnt achieved! It should perhaps be made a bit clearer that the long Read morestay parking is a 20 minute walk from the door and you cant park outside to unload as the door is pretty much at the crossing and its double yellows. Other than that we had a fabulous little holiday. Thank you Hide

We had a great holiday in Brixham. The property was great but it was very noisy outside the property as it was on a main road and across from a pub which got a little noisy at times. Extremely difficult to work the TV.
