About
Forming part of an elegant Victorian terrace in one of the finest locations on the English Riviera, Sea Tang enjoys breathtaking views across Brixham marina and the whole of beautiful Torbay.
The 6 guest bedrooms are tastefully furnished and equipped to a high standard with en suite shower and toilet, washbasin, shaver point, colour TV, alarm clock radio, hairdryer, tea/coffee-making facilities and thermostatically controlled central heating.
Sea Tang is a non-smoking establishment, providing all of our guests with a clean and fresh environment in which to enjoy their stay. Guests are given their own keys so they can gain access to their rooms at all times.
From the house, a few minutes' stroll alongside the marina and picturesque harbour brings you to the heart of the ancient fishing port of Brixham with its quaint streets, varied shops, pubs and seafood restaurants. In season you can cross Torbay to Paignton and Torquay or cruise along the coast and up the magnificent River Dart to the medieval town of Totnes.
Breakwater beach is just a short walk away as is Torbay's only free open-air swimming pool set amongst the rocks at the edge of the bay. A further 10 minute walk takes you to Berry Head Country Park with its wildlife bird sanctuary and Napoleonic forts.
South Devon is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal place to spend a refreshing break at any time of the year, and Sea Tang is an ideal base from which to enjoy it.
Here is some interesting facts about Brixham
Life in the busy fishing town of Brixham has always centred around the harbour, where yachts and heritage trawlers jostle for space with modern trawlers and dayboats heading out to sea for the day’s catch. There’s plenty to see and do here, whether you’re looking for a romantic break or family-friendly holiday, and the fun starts at sea!
Maritime Roots
Brixham’s history is filled with pirates and smugglers, and kids of all ages will enjoy our hearty Pirate Days. Head for the Old Fish Market during spring and summer to find a whole crew of salty sea dogs waiting to delight children with puppet shows and pirate fancy dress! For a romantic day out, enjoy a cruise on a heritage trawler across the bay, taking in the stunning coastline (and perhaps spotting some of our local dolphins whilst you’re at it!) The RNLI Torbay Lifeboat is also stationed here and in 2016 it celebrates its 150th anniversary.
Local History
Why not visit the historic fort and at Berry Head or the Museum or the Theatre. or hear the bells at All Saints church play the well loved hymn Abide With Me which was written here in Brixham.
A Taste of the Sea
The fishing industry is thriving here, and where better to taste the fresh catch of the day than at one of the town’s many fish restaurants dotted around the harbour? Most source their fish from the world-famous Brixham Fish Market, where you’ll find more than 40 varieties of fish – you can even take an early morning guided tour before enjoying a hearty English breakfast; a great way to start your day!
Whether you’re heading out to sea on a fishing trip, wreck diving off the coast, walking the South West Coast Path, or soaking up the local ambience in one of the town’s cosy pubs, there’s something here for everyone of all ages and Sea Tang Guest House is ideally situated to enjoy it all. So book your break to Brixham today and get set to experience a taste of life on the English Riviera, South Devon’s Beautiful Bay!
