About this property
Samphire Cottage is a charming retreat boasting sea and harbour views in the heart of Brixham, Devon. Perfect for small families or friends, this delightful cottage welcomes one well-behaved pet and boasts a sleek interior with contemporary features. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by an inviting living/dining room, complete with a Smart TV, DVDs, and a Bluetooth speaker, perfect for staying entertained after a day's adventures. The designated chef of your group will appreciate the well-appointed kitchen, equipped with everything needed to prepare delicious meals to be enjoyed at the dining table. Step outside to the front patio, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, taking in the fresh sea air and basking in the gorgeous views that are on offer! The patio furniture provides a relaxing spot to plan the day's adventures. As the day draws to a close, retire to one of the two welcoming bedrooms. The king-size bedroom, complete with a TV, offers a tranquil space to unwind, while the single bedroom provides a lovely spot for an additional guest. Both rooms are served by a stylish bathroom, featuring a bath with an overhead shower meaning guests have the option of an indulgent soak or steamy rinse. Venture from your home-away-from-home and you'll be charmed by the picturesque Brixham Harbour, where you can watch the catch of the day land and be transformed into culinary delights in harbour-side restaurants. You can also catch a ferry over to the neighboring Torquay if you have a thirst for sea travel! Over in Torquay, there is plenty to see and do, plenty of beaches and Kents Cavern, an award-winning heritage attraction offering guided cave tours, outdoor woodland trails, a shop and cafe. Explore the stunning beauty of Berry Head National Nature Reserve, boasting panoramic ocean views, an array of flora and fauna, and remnants of ancient forts, or why not visit the holiday home of the late Agatha Christie and her family at the National Trust's Greenway House. On warm summer days, take a refreshing plunge at Splashdown Quaywest, the UK's largest outdoor water park. As evening falls, head towards Brixham Breakwater for a soothing walk as the sun dips below the horizon, then discover the tucked away haven of Fishcombe Cove, a smaller beach just a short walk from Paignton's seafront, where you can find serene moments. There are also plenty of harbourside restaurants that will be serving the catch of the day so be sure to stop in! Whichever way you choose to fill your Devonshire days, Samphire Cottage ensures ease and convenience, making every moment of your coastal escape a cherished memory.
Brixham is a working fishing harbour located on the southern side of Torbay, the area known as The English Riviera, famed for its sunny mild climate all year round. The focal point of the harbour is a life size replica of The Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake’s ship. The prettiest part of Brixham has small cottages in hilly narrow winding lanes leading to the harbour where all the activity is centred. Home to Britain’s largest fishing fleet which regularly lands their catch in the harbour, Brixham fish market sells to major restaurants in the UK. Brixham is the ideal destination for a traditional holiday with many family attractions around Torbay including two Blue Flag beaches, Paignton Zoo and many regattas and maritime events throughout the year. There are a host of safe cycle trails in the area, the South West Coastal Path and some of the best golf courses in the region. A good mix of relaxation or action, to suit all ages, where you are never far from the sea.
