Brixham is a lovely seaside town and is still one of the busiest, working fishing harbours in the area. The harbour is full of little fishing boats and trawlers, and some of the best fish and chips can be enjoyed here.

There is so much here for all the family to enjoy, including the water park at Goodrington and Paignton Zoo. There are also many other quieter days out such as taking a steam train trip up to Buckfastleigh where you can visit the otter and butterfly sanctuary. A car and passenger ferry to Dartmouth can be taken from Kingswear, 1 mile away. Sailing, golf, fishing, horse riding and more can all be found in this wonderful part of Devon.

Ideal location for exploring the area by road, bus or foot. Excellent, frequent bus service from the end of the road. Cosy, comfortable accommodation, although information of location of the freezer and recycling would have been useful in the cottage. Kate was very efficient when responding to a couple of queries.
