Ship-shape sea views
When you stand in the harbour and look up you’re greeted with the sight of the colourful, traditional cottages that fill the hillside. From these elevated positions you get breath taking views of the harbour and sea beyond that are well and truly worth the walk. Beacon House B&B is one of these charming Victorian houses and has one of the loveliest views you could wish to wake up to. Watch the boats as they pootle into and out of the harbour, and see the people like ants walking out along the breakwater. Or book into The Shoalstone Brixham and while away the hours in the guest lounge here with fine views towards Torquay.
Walking country on your doorstep
With Berry Head nature reserve and easy access to the coast path right on the doorstep, Brixham is popular with anyone who enjoys walking during a break away. You’ll find plenty of places to stay in Brixham that are near to the public footpaths. Stay at Brixham House B&B and you’ll also be close to the main bus stop for an easy ride back at the end of the day if you don’t want to walk the round trip. And if you opt for a B&B in Brixham that welcomes dogs, such as Raddicombe Lodge, you can bring man’s best friend with you too.
Historical homes for a stay to remember
Whether it’s tales of smugglers and pirates or of bygone days, Brixham has a rich and colourful history. Relive that past with a stay in a traditional home, like the Grade II listed Sampford House. This 18th century former Fisherman’s cottage overlooks the harbour. Whilst the facilities are thoroughly modern, there are still happy glimpses of the olden days, with none so comforting as the roaring log burning stove in the lounge that brings a warming nostalgic glow to your stay on colder days.
