Seabird Cottage is a charming, traditional Cottage situated in the delightful fishing port of Brixham, It is a great 'bolthole' escape to get away from it all.
An authentic fisherman's cottage, it has been modernised to ensure comfort and convenience whilst retaining many traditional features including exposed beams believed to be reclaimed ships timbers and masts.

Enter from the street into a cosy sitting room, with multi-fuel wood burner (in additional to full central heating) through to a fully fitted kitchen
made bright and airy by roof windows above. For those who like to cook you will find what you need to try out some new recipes having sourced the ingredients from the deli, butchers and grocers as well as well stocked supermarkets just across the road.
For those who don't want to cook, there are many great restaurants just as close and a very nice pub in our street!
The bathroom, also on this level, consists of large shower, wash hand basin and toilet.

Access to the furnished raised terrace garden outside, is through the rear door and up some steps. In summer, the sun is there most of the day so it is ideal to start with a coffee or to enjoy a glass of wine after a day of exploring South Devon.

There are two good sized bedrooms accessed by the winding traditional 'Brixham' staircase, a double bed to the front and two singles in the rear bedroom overlooking the terrace garden.


Seabird Cottage is the perfect place to base your holiday to enjoy the delights of South Devon, with seaside walks, sailing, fishing and boat trips, or travel by steam train along the beautiful South Devon coast. Apart from deepest winter the very reasonably priced ferry service goes to the heart of Torquay, Paignton, Totnes and Dartmouth so no traffic or car parking hassle even in the height of summer !

If you prefer, you can relax in the town's pubs (one of the best is in our street but has never disturbed us) There are many great restaurants especially if you like fish. You can have a coffee or a cream tea and browse round the shops. Explore the winding streets and numerous 'steps' linking the streets and areas of the old fishing village..

The walks along the coast both towards Berry Head and towards Broad sands along the South Devon Coastal Path (Blackbeard's Trail) are not to be missed. Literally 3 minutes away is the harbour and main high street. Our favourite pastime is to walk round the harbourside towards Berry Head to Breakwater Beach for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and watch the sun rise or set all year round.

    This cottage is just wonderful, perfectly located for access to the harbour & town centre, and while tiny it is mighty! It is super cosy but has everything you could need for your stay, a home from home. The hosts we super, really open and helpful with information provided well in advance of our stay to get us excited for our visit. We will be back! I just wish we could have stayed longer than we did!

    This is a great cottage that fits the description and was perfect for our stay.Only a few minutes walk from the Harbour and all local amenities. We parked in one of the main car parks and only 5-10 walk back to the property. The host has been great and very helpful in communications and providing lots of information of things to do. Thank you

    Very cosy cottage which had been tastefully renovated. All the appliances/equipment we needed had been thoughtfully provided. Only problem was the parking but Angela gave us some tips on local roads and as the location of the cottage was so close to the harbour once we found a good space we left the car for a few days!

    The cottage was beautiful, very tastefully styled and everything was spotless, a much appreciated bottle of milk and tea / coffee. The walk to the harbour and lovely shops and restaurants was very short, a few steps to get back to Higher Street but once you knew about them, it was fine.We did get a bit of a surprise with the stairs leading to the bedrooms, we didn’t expect so many and small steps and no landing to step into the bedrooms, but again something that you adapted to, it was the original fisherman’s cottage which we worked out.Our main problem was outside the cottage, we had travelled from Australia and on a 7 week trip so we had lots of luggage and therefore had to hire a car big enough for it, (an MG SUV). We entered Higher Street but didn’t know what number the cottage was so we kept going past to the narrow opening a little way past the cottage, this caused a small scape on the side mirror, We had to turn around and work out the number of the cottage.After we had unloaded we were going to follow the map supplied for parking but a neighbour told us that they did mit think the car would pass through a particular spot so we had to go and find somewhere to park, we found a spot on the harbour near the University which was safe and secure for 4 days and just a short walk back.We loved our holiday in Brixham and would go to Seabird cottage again, the only thing I would suggest for visitors is to advise the street number and not just the cottage name.

    Lovely cosy cottage just a few minutes walk from the harbour and into the town. Well equipped and very clean. Easy communication with host. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Brixham. Parking isn’t easy but host gave us tips on where to park which worked perfectly. Would stay here should we visit Brixham again.

    This property is cosy, super-convenient to everything and gorgeous. Communication with the host is fantastic and it's the perfect getaway for Brixham. We were so comfortable, everything has been thought of and only one set of steps up from the town which you'll quickly realise is brilliant news! Super clean too. We loved this cottage it was just perfect for us.
