“Lovely cottage well sited in a friendly walkable harbour town.”

Despite initial concerns regarding position on a busy road for walking the dog the property is really handy for a local park & it’s only a short walk down to the harbour. Really helpful & friendly owners just next door if needed. Small property but clean & has everything you need for a comfy stay !

“All we needed to have a great holiday, helpful landlord close by to make sure we were OK.”

Cottage was cosy and comfortable and well equipped, brilliant shower! Plenty of things to do. Two good NT properties close by. The ‘Round Robin’ steam train / river boat / open top bus trip should not be missed. Not good for cycling- too many hills and too much traffic on the narrow roads.

- Mr Caudle, August 2018
“Perfect cottage for us, in terms of what it offered and its location.”

Owner greeted us on day of arrival and was very friendly. Spent time telling us about places of interest/walking in to Brixham Harbour/dog friendly pubs for eating/local shops etc. Location of cottage was literally yards away from Battery Gardens - excellent place for toileting/walking the dog. Walked through the gardens everyday to get in to Brixham. Fishcombe Cove was a delightful little bay, again minutes walk from the cottage, café on site and a dog friendly (pebble) beach. Off road car parking. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, and would definitely go back to Monkbarns if was staying in that area.

“Listed as dog friendly but no garden access although a small wood park is a short walk away.”

- Mr Paine, April 2018
“Great position for access to Brixham.”

Highly recommended for a couple who enjoy walking.

- Mrs Crumpler, April 2018
“Dog owners should probably be aware this property does not have a garden but that there is a park a little way away or a beach that can be accessed for the dog's convenience.”

- Mr Cherry, March 2018
“Arrived at cottage not knowing what to expect as never booked this type of holiday before, Well were we in for a pleasant surprise, the cottage had every thing you could wish for, nice bedroom and bathroom, nice sitting area and the kitchen was fully equipped with every thing we wanted, there was even milk in the fridge biskets and sweets.”

5 minuets walk into the town and a hourly bus nearby. Would book with Sykes Cottages again on having seen the standard of their properties.

- Mr Coles, March 2018
“Great apartment - very comfortable.”

We have already booked for next year.

- Mr Pask, September 2017
“Fabulous cottage and the owner was very friendly and welcoming.”

Perfect spot to walk across the cliffs into town with the dog. We have already booked again for next year.

About the location

BRIXHAM

Dartmouth 5 miles; Paignton 6 miles; Torquay 8 miles.

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.
