Brixham is a lovely seaside town and is still one of the busiest, working fishing harbours in the area. The harbour is full of little fishing boats and trawlers, and some of the best fish and chips can be enjoyed here. The town offers all the usual tourist shops along with many restaurants and coffee shops, and has a regular bus service which will be able to take you into Goodrington, Paignton and Torquay without having to use your car.
There is so much here for all the family to enjoy, including the water park at Goodrington and Paignton Zoo. There are also many other quieter days out such as taking a steam train trip up to Buckfastleigh where you can visit the otter and butterfly sanctuary. A car and passenger ferry to Dartmouth can be taken from Kingswear, 1 mile away. Sailing, golf, fishing, horse riding and more can all be found in this wonderful part of Devon.

Just back from a lovely holiday at Swallows Cottage. The owner, Kate, was very helpful & responded to any queries promptly.The cottage was clean and well equipped. Milk, tea bags & biscuits were provided to start us off. Oven gloves were provided.In one of the bedrooms there was a window without a blind - which meant that our daughters were woken up by the sunlight earlier than they might have liked.Location was excellent for exploring the surrounding areas - and lots of up to date leaflets & maps were provided.We had days out at Pennywell Farm, Otters & Butterflies, Torre Abbey, did an outdoor escape room in Exmouth, & went on a boat trip to Dartmouth. Found an excellent gluten free cream tea at The Guardhouse Cafe in Brixham.
