About this cottage rental

There’s much more to Brixham than its famous fish quay, rainbow cottages and seafaring history. Despite being one of the busiest working fishing ports in the UK, the town has such a wonderful ease about it that it's not only been enticing holidaymakers for decades, but also more recently, a slew of talented artisans, craftmen (and women), and restaurateurs. Being so close to the South Hams as well as to the towns of Paignton and Torquay, means that Brixham is wonderfully positioned to offer visitors some of South Devon’s most popular beaches and attractions too, so all in all this really is a fantastic place to enjoy coastal life at its best.

Perched high up on North View Road, The Captain’s Cottage claims some of the best views in Brixham, its humble Victorian terrace facade concealing a beautifully designed, contemporary interior. Recently refurbished to a superb standard, the house which sleeps six, boasts three immaculate bedrooms along with airy open plan living / dining, a high spec kitchen, two bathrooms and an outdoor utility and games room. Gorgeous furnishings, fabulous wall art and contemporary styling are surpassed only by the exceptional views of the harbour and bay which can be enjoyed from all three floors of the cottage, so whether early risers or night owls, guests can witness the changing moods of the sea and town below from their own unique vantage point.

With attention paid to every detail by the home’s owners, expect superior quality throughout, like luxurious beds from Feather & Black with Harrison Spinks and Hypnos mattresses, Sonos Bluetooth speakers, Grohe rainfall showers and furniture by brands like Loaf and Habitat. Outside there’s a sun-drenched furnished terrace for those all-important evening drinks or for alfresco dining, and for those partial to sunbathing or to catching up on their holiday reading in the fresh air, they'll be able to laze back on the balcony and soak up the views.

*Please note that the external steps are steep and there is a sharp drop off one side. Caution is therefore advised for all guests including children who should be supervised. Guests with limited mobility may therefore find the property unsuitable.

We ask our guests for a £150 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

The Captain's cottage is in an excellent location, the private garage is especially useful and makes a big difference. The views from the bedroom and balcony are wonderful and it was very enjoyable to sit out there to relax after a day exploring the area. The directions and information provided is excellent and very helpful. The kitchen area is very clean and well stocked. Beds are comfortable and clean. The cottage was quite dusty throughout with a few dusty cobwebs also. I found myself sneezing quite lot during our stay which I could only attribute to the dust. The upstairs bathroom floor hadn't been cleaned and there several mould spots in the shower area. The towels provided were clean but quite worn and needed replacing. Despite these minor negatives we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay.

The Captain’s Cottage in Brixham was exceptional. Me and my girlfriend stayed here for a month, to get a feel for Devon life in the colder months. The host, Tim, was extremely kind and offered us advice/tips throughout our stay. The views across the property are breathtaking, especially from the top bedroom. Brixham itself really grew on us and was perfectly situated for supermarkets etc & made it very easy for us to live in. Coming out of Brixham; it is really well positioned to access nearby areas by car, like Kingswear, Slapton & Salcombe. We had one of the best months.

We love our stay here, this was a second time and we are looking at booking our 3rd. Everything is there that is needed and everyone is so helpful! The welcome pack is so thoughtful. And the view is amazing! The men don’t stop looking down at the bay! Well done guys! We will be back

A beautiful, clean, stylish, house with everything we could possibly need for a week in Brixham. The garage was easy to get in and out of and following the handy instructions was easy to get to. Loved the games room for pool and the Xbox. Yes the steps are very steep in the garden, but worth it for all the facilities. The views are unbelievable, especially from the top bedroom with it's balcony. Would definitely recommend and return.

Stayed with my kids and their partners which relegated me to the twin bedroom at the front. Obviously meant for children with plastic under sheet on beds. Not a problem but the duvet was very small and due to the type of blind the room was always light either from natural or street lighting. Great location and view.

The house is brilliantly located and has the most wonderful views, especially from the master bedroom. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Brixham. Very clean, well-equipped and warm (it was January). The games room was a nice feature. The owners replied promptly to any queries and were very friendly. We had a great time and I would happily recommend this house.

A very nice place to stay whilst visiting the area. The house is a triple split level with two bedrooms, wet room and toilet on the ground floor with access via a patio door to outside steps leading up to the patio, the games room and, eventually the garage. The outside steps are quite steep with no handrail along the first couple of flights. The steps can be quite.slippery when wet. Back inside and up the internal stairs takes you to the kitchen and the very comfortable lounge and dining area which has some magnificent views over the harbour. The kitchen is very well appointed but a bit cramped when four people are all in at the same time, so Derek and I chose to stay out at all times and look after the wine bottles in the lounge. Continuing up stairs from the lounge is the master bedroom which has full glass patio doors with a magnificent panoramic vista over the harbour and miles beyond. We watched the numerous fire works going off as our visit coincided with bonfire night. Through the patio doors is a small balcony which would be loverly to sit out during a a balmy summer evening with a glass or two of your favourite amber nectar. There is also a separate shower room and toilet located on this floor. The beds are extremely comfortable and encouraged a lazy lay in. There is access through the kitchen to the outside steps which lead up to the patio games room and eventually to the garage. There are lights along the steps which are operated from the kitchen. Access to the front door is up a short but steep set of steps and the road is extremely narrow and care needs to be taken. Once luggage has been dropped off the car can be driven back up the hill to the road at the rear.where the garage is located and walked to either by the rear steps or by walking round, which we chose to do. When we arrived we had no idea where the garage was located as this isn't clear on the promotional blurb but I think another postcode or map should be shown or offered. When we arrived we found that the owners had left a couple of gifts to welcome us to the house which were very much appreciated. This is a loverly house in a great location but a certain level of physical fitness is required if intending to walk into town and back. It is definitely not suitable for the infirm or wheelchair users as there is no access for such. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wishing to stay in and explore the Brixham area
