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.

We stayed at the Captains cottage during the heatwave in June. The directions via Great Rea Road were spot on - the garage is visible as you reach the bottom of Great Rea Road (at the junction with Elkins Hill) and was easily accessed via the electronic doors operated by a code. The cottage keys were located in the key safe in the garage itself (a second set is located at the front of the house in North View Road). We unloaded our luggage via the garage and yes, the steps down from the garage were steep and certainly not suitable for young children or the infirm but we (late 60's pensioners) just took our time - make sure you have one hand free to use the handrail as you descend. We entered the cottage via the middle floor patio which leads into the kitchen. The middle floor patio was quite a suntrap in the afternoon and did get ridiculously hot but there was a nice dining set with an umbrella. The ground floor patio also had a small bistro set although it gets no sun. The cottage itself was clean, modern, comfortable and very well furnished. The kitchen was well provisioned and the little welcome basket was a nice touch. The lounge/sitting room and the top bedroom both have panoramic views over the inner harbour, Torbay and beyond (the binoculars were well used). The top bedroom (master) did get very hot but this was due to temperatures in the 30's, the like of which we have never seen before in Brixham. The beds were very comfortable and fairly new with good pillows and quilts. The master bedroom has a nice ensuite bathroom and the 2 ground floor bedrooms share a large family bathroom and a separate wc. The laundry and adjacent games room were located in a separate building, half way up the stairs towards the garage. We used the car daily, travelling to various places in South Devon - Teignmouth, Dawlish, Exmouth via the ferry at Starcross, Dartmouth and Blackpool sands (via the car ferry) and the wonderful beach at Broadsands which is our particular favourite. It was great knowing you had a parking space to return to each day. Brixham itself was in easy reach via steps or road - again just take your time ascending/descending the steps. We did vote this the nicest cottage we had stayed in and we have been regular visitors to Brixham over the years (hubby has been coming since he was a child and he is 70 this summer).

We had a wondeful stay at the Captains cottage It was extremely clean and comfortable with everything you need for a lovely stay. The steps are not for the faint hearted but the view is the reward, it is stunning. Thank you we hope to return

The house is in a wonderful location and has the most incredible views, especially from the bedroom balcony. The kitchen is really well equipped and overall the property felt very high quality.
The customer service was very efficient throughout.
Great to have the added bonus of the games room and we appreciated the puzzles and games.
The stairs to the garage are steep, but Brixham is a hilly place and it's good exercise!

Overpriced for what you get. Rusty garden furniture. Fortnum and Mason branded basket with cheap tea from Lidl and wine from Aldi. Duvet in master bedroom lumpy - needs replacing. Cheap bedding.
