Property information

Dolphin Cottage is a traditional fisherman's cottage perched above the harbour on one of Brixham's most photogenic streets. Thanks to it's elevated setting in Brixham's natural harbour bowl, the cottage offers fantastic views across the harbour, marina and out to the Breakwater. This newly decorated cottage is just a stone's throw from everything Brixham has to offer, with fantastic pubs, restaurants, cafés and a variety of independent retailers all within walking distance. Located among a row of vibrant colourful cottages, Dolphin Cottage's cheerful exterior sets the tone for within. As you step straight inside to the cosy living area, the fireplace provides a focal point to the room and it is easy to imagine occupants of years ago looking down to their boats in the harbour. The small but well-designed kitchen offers the perfect flexibility for self-catering. Brixham is a food lovers' paradise, and you will be spoilt for choice for places to eat out. For culinary enthusiasts, why not pick up some fresh fish straight off one of the local day boats to prepare back in the cottage and then enjoy an after dinner drink on the front courtyard. The perfect set-up.
