Description

Amazing sea views!

Contact us for last minute or long-stay discounts / cheap deals. A week’s stay is often cheaper.

A former Fisherman's terraced cottage perfectly positioned above the picturesque fishing harbour of Brixham, offering panoramic views across Torbay, and with large secure car park.

Whatever the weather, you can sit and watch the maritime activity - from lifeboats, trawlers and the heritage red-sailed fishing fleet, to seals and occasional dolphins. You can sample the huge range of attractions, activities and events available locally. If you fancy a dip, the secluded pebbly Fishcombe Cove is just at the end of the road, with sandy beaches a country walk (or short drive) away. The cottage sleeps up to 7 people, has secure parking, an adjacent bus stop and is a short walk in to town.

A comfortable home from home, this surprisingly spacious 3-bedroom cottage with wi-fi has been renovated to a high standard and designed to make the most of the amazing sea views.

The large living room with pub-style football table and piano has French doors into the garden and patio area with sweeping views from Torquay across to Brixham Harbour, or on a good day to Portland Bill. It gets the morning sun, ideal for an al fresco breakfast with a view!

The master bedroom boasts wonderful views and has a double bed, with a single 3' bed and cot in an annexed room. On the top floor is a twin room with sea views and another double room. The cottage's design means that it feels cosy enough for 1 or 2 people, but can easily cater for up to 7.

The well-stocked kitchen has gas hob, electric double oven, washing machine and fridge/ freezer.

A fantastic asset in Brixham is the secure private parking for up to 3 cars adjacent to the cottage, with boat parking by prior arrangement. There is a bus stop very close but, if you can manage steps, it is only a few minutes walk to the bustling harbour itself. There is a huge variety of shops, cafes and restaurants to suit everyone's pocket, with an excellent museum and attractions such as the replica Golden Hind. There is also the CAMRA Award-winning Queen's Arms pub on the other side of Furzeham Green under the railway bridge, which often hosts live music and does good cider as well as Real Ale.

For beautiful scenery, the South Devon Coastal path is at the end of the road, with Paignton and Torquay in one direction, and Berry Head Country Park with its Napoleonic fort to Kingswear and Dartmouth in the other (or you may just want a shorter walk through Battery Gardens with their WW2 museum and on to the 12th Century Churston Court Inn).

For families with children, the park is just over the road, with a playground, football pitch and tennis/ basketball on the top green, the Admiral Indoor Pool or Shoalstone Outdoor Lido less than a mile away. A cot is provided with bedding and a highchair on request, and there is a collapsible safety gate on the bottom stairs.

However active you want to be, there is something to suit everyone nearby - from various water sports eg diving, boating, water-skiing; to bowls, golf, go-karts, and Battlefield Live; from lazing on a beach at Broadsands or by the open-air pool at Shoalstone, to having fish and chips or an ice cream and watching the world go by!

Regular ferries are available to Paignton, Torquay and Dartmouth, with cruises to see wildlife, the geopark or go fishing. Take the steam train to Kingswear, visit Agatha Christie's Greenway House and National Trust's Coleton Fishacre or just relax and enjoy yourself!

(Free linen and towels provided on request. No smoking inside property. Sorry no pets)

Getting around

Being so close to town, the easiest way to see the sights of Brixham from Sunberry Cottage is to walk. However, if you want to avoid the hill, the local bus (no 17) stops a few doors down the road taking you direct to Brixham town centre every hour, or via a slightly longer route from the other side of the green also every hour. It does a circular route so you can just sit on the bus and tour Brixham! Stagecoach do a variety of tickets eg dayrider which covers most of the local buses. In the Town Centre are buses which connect to most tourist attractions across the Bay, and further afield eg Plymouth, but most holiday makers will take the ferry to Paignton, Torquay or Dartmouth to give a different experience.

Interaction with guest

There is a keysafe and independent entry but we are contactable throughout your stay. If you want, we will give a tour of the house including where things can be found, and suggest places to visit. There is a full range of leaflets at the cottage and an information book with handy hints and telephone numbers, plus a visitor book which tells you what things other guests would recommend.

“Great week in a great house.”

Reviewed 16 Apr 2023

We’ve stayed in a few Brixham cottages and this was one of the best. Perfect for our family of 3, but would easily accommodate 5+ over its 4 floors. The views from the big windows and the terrace are a real highlight. Even with the changeable April weather we had, just looking out over the harbour was amazing. House had everything we needed to cook in a few times, although if you know Brixham you’ll know that eating out is a must. The walk back from town or Fishcombe Cove will test your calves and keep you fit, but it is only 5-10mins and means you can eat more chips/drink more gin.

Response from the owner Thanks so much for the 5 star rating Volker, and so glad you had a good time. Just to let you know that we will be replacing the 3-piece suite and the bed in the master bedroom when we have the next long void - we have to take the windows out to get the furniture in, so it takes a while! Hope you had a safe journey home. Thanks again Katy

“View to die for”

Reviewed 19 Apr 2022

We had a fantastic stay at Sunberry cottage. Communication with Katy was excellent and prompt. The cottage has all you could possibly need with the most amazing views over the harbour and bay from the large terrace. The cottage is high on the hill and the walk back up is challenging but we either took is slow or used a local taxi for a few quid. Would definately recommend Sunberry Cottage for a very comfortable and clean break away in lovely Brixham. Thank you for a lovely break x

Response from the owner Aww Sophie, thank you so much for such a lovely review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and managed to relax, and not drive, as the local bus had been detoured due to roadworks.
