About

‘Trade winds’ is a charming fisherman’s’ cottage situated in Customs Court, just off the harbour.  This area of Brixham was well known for its smugglers hatches and secret routes passing right under the nose of the old Customs Cottages housing the Customs Officers dating back some 300 years!

We can sleep up to 4, we also allow up to two well behaved dogs.

The cottage is brimming with charm and character including historic sea charts, exposed stone walls and old beams.  Trade winds is a very light and bright cottage built over four levels with two double bedrooms, both enjoying superb harbour and sea views.
