The cottage was absolutely wonderful. It was a little difficult to find at first, but once we arrived, we knew it was worth it. What an incredible location and what a view! From our bedroom window, we looked straight across the harbour at the colourful houses on the opposite side. The cottage consists of two former fishermen’s cottages, which probably once housed entire families. The added conservatory and kitchen make it even more inviting, and the terrace is simply perfect. We had beautiful weather and could easily have spent the whole day just relaxing at the cottage, but of course we also explored the area. We enjoyed wonderful walks, visited Greenway (Agatha Christie’s house) and Coleton Fishacre, and played some great rounds of golf. This was a truly special place, and I have a feeling we’ll definitely be back one day.

The house was nicely furnished, warm, with well equipped kitchen and amazing sea views. The owners had gone to the trouble of thinking of lots of small touches to make the house homely and comfortable. A short walk down Queens Steps into the town for restaurants, cafes, and local shops, and easy walking access to local beaches. We enjoyed our stay over Xmas.

We enjoyed our stay at Bosun’s Cottage. The views over the harbour were a daily pleasure, a wide expanse of sea, boats big & small coming and going, and the pretty painted houses stacked up on the opposite harbourside. The location was convenient for us, a short walk to the harbour for the Co-Op and fish n chips, and several small beaches in walking distance (we were car-less). The nearest one, Breakwater Beach was surprisingly pleasant, with a handy cafe & toilets, and good swimming. The cottage is spacious (downstairs) and comfortable in the main. We found the beds a bit small, but the charming old cottage dimensions probably can’t accommodate bigger beds. There is a certain amount of noise from the working harbour at night but double glazing keeps that out. The spacious terrace is a welcome feature, with a rotary dryer for laundry. The kitchen has loads of work surface and is well equipped if you want to cook - which we did.

A very nice house. Overlooking the harbour. The 100 steps from the harbour to the house are a good training :) . There were some little things not really perfect: No teatowels, no teapot ( and that in England) :) and the the toiletseat was loose and noone came to repair that. No real problems and we took it with a smile. Brixham is nice , good pubs and 2 good restaurant at the harbour, La petite maison and Beamers. We had a good time!
