Rockfish Cottage

About this property

Rockfish is a delightful ground-floor apartment nestled in the heart of Brixham, Devon, offering a unique blend of maritime heritage and contemporary comfort. Just a short stroll from the bustling harbour, this former fisherman’s store has been thoughtfully transformed into a lovely retreat, perfect for couples or solo travellers seeking a traditional seaside escape. Its history whispers through the walls, yet inside, light floods the open-plan living space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Sink into the generous L-shaped sofa after a day exploring the shoreline, or prepare a relaxed supper in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with breakfast bar and all the essentials for easy dining.

At the rear, the double bedroom provides a quaint sanctuary, while the sleek shower room adds a touch of convenience for refreshing. With WiFi, entertainment options, and space for one furry friend, Rockfish ensures every detail is considered. Step outside and the harbour greets you with its colourful boats, lively cafés, and the aroma of fresh seafood drifting from quayside restaurants. Wander along the waterfront to discover Brixham’s famous fish market or climb aboard the replica Golden Hind for a glimpse into seafaring history. The town hums with character, hosting year-round festivals, artisan markets, and welcoming pubs where you can savour local flavours.

For those craving adventure, the South West Coast Path beckons with breath-taking views and hidden coves, while boat trips offer a new perspective on the English Riviera’s rugged beauty. Beyond Brixham, the delights of South Devon await. Paignton’s sandy beaches and family attractions lie just a short drive away, while Dartmouth enchants with its riverside walks, historic streets, and vibrant arts scene. Whether you’re indulging in fresh fish and chips by the harbour, tracing coastal trails under wide skies, or simply enjoying a slow morning with coffee in hand, Rockfish places you at the heart of it all.

Brixham is a working fishing harbour located on the southern side of Torbay, the area known as The English Riviera, famed for its sunny mild climate all year round. The focal point of the harbour is a life size replica of The Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake’s ship. The prettiest part of Brixham has small cottages in hilly narrow winding lanes leading to the harbour where all the activity is centred. Home to Britain’s largest fishing fleet which regularly lands their catch in the harbour, Brixham fish market sells to major restaurants in the UK. Brixham is the ideal destination for a traditional holiday with many family attractions around Torbay including two Blue Flag beaches, Paignton Zoo and many regattas and maritime events throughout the year. There are a host of safe cycle trails in the area, the South West Coastal Path and some of the best golf courses in the region. A good mix of relaxation or action, to suit all ages, where you are never far from the sea.
