About this cottage rental

There’s much more to Brixham than its famous fish quay, rainbow cottages and seafaring history. Despite being one of the busiest working fishing ports in the UK, the town has such a wonderful ease about it that it's not only been enticing holidaymakers for decades, but also more recently, a slew of talented artisans, craftmen (and women), and restaurateurs. Being so close to the South Hams as well as to the towns of Paignton and Torquay, means that Brixham is wonderfully positioned to offer visitors some of South Devon’s most popular beaches and attractions too, so all in all this really is a fantastic place to enjoy coastal life at its best.

Perched high up on North View Road, The Captain’s Cottage claims some of the best views in Brixham, its humble Victorian terrace facade concealing a beautifully designed, contemporary interior. Recently refurbished to a superb standard, the house which sleeps six, boasts three immaculate bedrooms along with airy open plan living / dining, a high spec kitchen, two bathrooms and an outdoor utility and games room. Gorgeous furnishings, fabulous wall art and contemporary styling are surpassed only by the exceptional views of the harbour and bay which can be enjoyed from all three floors of the cottage, so whether early risers or night owls, guests can witness the changing moods of the sea and town below from their own unique vantage point.

With attention paid to every detail by the home’s owners, expect superior quality throughout, like luxurious beds from Feather & Black with Harrison Spinks and Hypnos mattresses, Sonos Bluetooth speakers, Grohe rainfall showers and furniture by brands like Loaf and Habitat. Outside there’s a sun-drenched furnished terrace for those all-important evening drinks or for alfresco dining, and for those partial to sunbathing or to catching up on their holiday reading in the fresh air, they'll be able to laze back on the balcony and soak up the views.

*Please note that the external steps are steep and there is a sharp drop off one side. Caution is therefore advised for all guests including children who should be supervised. Guests with limited mobility may therefore find the property unsuitable.

We ask our guests for a £150 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

The property was just perfect for our stay. So much thought & love has been put into this place that it feels like home with in minutes of being there. The location give the best views of Brixton & we all often found ourselves just looking out for periods of our stay. Also you can see when the pub is busy or not! The games room worked perfectly for our 24 year old son & added to making our stay even more comfortable. The kitchen was beautiful & everything needed was supplied. Bedrooms were decorated to a very high standard with the best bedding ! Also having the garage is an absolute must when staying in Brixham for parking, loading & unloading, can’t stress how important this is to the property. Honestly if you’re looking to stay in Brixham, look no further than the Captains Lodge.

This is a lovely cottage, well appointed, with a garage (my Kuga just fitted). Great location (although be prepared for the steep incline or steep steps). I would highly recommend.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
A lovely house in what must be the best location in Brixham. The garage and EV charge point is probably unique to holiday houses in the area and is a fantastic addition. It was hassle free to simply park the car, plug it in and not worry about it being left in a public car park. Yes, the steps are numerous, but are perfectly manageable with a bit of care. Those with mobility issues may struggle, though. The house itself was well laid out, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay of a week. Nice little touches like the welcome pack (ignore previous review - Aldi wine can be fantastic!) and plenty of things like dishwasher tablets. Would definitely look to return.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
Overpriced for what you get. Rusty garden furniture. Fortnum and Mason branded basket with cheap tea from Lidl and wine from Aldi. Duvet in master bedroom lumpy - needs replacing. Cheap bedding.
