  • "We had a lovely holiday staying at Monks Barn."

    It was very comfortable and had everything we needed .Spot on.

  • "Monksbarn is a perfect holiday home."

    This was our third visit and it never lets us down. Spotlessly clean and very homely. Nice little balcony off bedroom to sit out on with a glass of wine after a busy day exploring the area. Walk into Brixham a bit hilly but views over sea worth it, also a bus runs hourly from just outside cottage into Brixham harbour till 6p.m. Owners live next door & very friendly, lovely welcome pack awaited us, thanks. Would totally recommend this property to couples. Two interesting NT properties close by worth a visit & the model village at Babbacombe not to be missed!

  • "What a superb place."

    Ivan the owner went out of his way to provide us with as much information as we would need. The walk from the harbour isn't as challenging as you think, however for” later years” or people with difficulty walking there is a bus stop twenty yards from the property which runs until 1800. Battery Gardens are 20 yards away, so excellent for that quick dog walk in a morning. The property has everything you need. A lovely balcony, which would be superb on a sunny morning for breakfast (we didn't get to use it as it was cold when we visited). Lovely furnishings, very comfortable bed and great parking. Would stay again, most definitely.

    Ivan welcomed us on our first day, made us feel very welcome. The property had everything you could need for a self catering stay, loved the teapot! Bed was very comfortable and heating was easy to manage. Was a 15 minute walk into the harbour, be warned, it's very hilly lol Very easy to get to Dartmouth, Paignton and Torquay.

    Accommodation is 'spot on' as is the location and the on site parking is a bonus. We stayed there early last year and although we had a lot of rain it didn't put us off so came straight home & booked it for this year. The little balcony off the bedroom is so relaxing, we enjoyed sitting out there in the evening with a glass of wine and watching over towards the sea. Monkbarns is an ideal holiday property, well equipped & even has a bus stop outside with hourly bus service into Brixham as walk back is quite steep. Very nice Welcome pack of goodies greeted us, much appreciated after a long journey.

    A big bonus if you have a dog is the proximity of a large park, it's pretty much literally next door, plus the opportunity for many walkies around the headlands. The cottage is modern and well furnished with plenty of room for a couple, and the owners are only next door, and very helpful, should you need them.

There is a park a couple of minutes away that was great to take the dog for a walk. Just be careful and have the dog on the lead before you come out of the door as the road is directly on the boundary and there isn’t a gate. Lots of lovely walks direct from the property. Plenty of dog friendly places to eat out. Would be happy to visit again.

Ivan and Vicki are first-class hosts, most helpful and knowledgeable and suggested restaurants both in Brixham and in the nearby countryside. Ivan was on hand and responded very quickly to any queries we had which were very few anyway. Glorious views from bedroom balcony across the bay and great sunsets at night.

The property

This cosy cottage is situated in picturesque Brixham, a popular resort, where modern marina meets quaint fishing harbour and you can still watch the trawlers landing their catch.

On the edge of Brixham is Shoalstone Beach, where the outdoor seawater swimming pool, built into the rocky foreshore is always popular.

In the town there is a good selection of shops and restaurants, many offering freshly caught fish.

In Brixham, just yards from the South Devon Coast Path, is Monkbarns.

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.
