“Comfortable, modern holiday accommodation in a ideal location, lovely views.”

Northlands Cottage suited us very well - the views over the meadows and beyond were amazing, also the wildlife was on our doorstep. The owners Jackie and Dave were so hospitable and welcoming to us. We had everything we needed for the 6 weeks we were there. We would visit again in the future.

“Northlands Cottage was very ...”

Northlands Cottage was very comfortable and ideally located. Close to major centres and yet still in the country with a village feel. Also the pub close by had a lovely restaurant with a bunch of friendly locals. The owners of the holiday let were very friendly and hospitable to us during our 6 week stay. We would certainly recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in the area.

Fantastic location, fantastic accommodation. Great views from the large window facing the fields and wildlife, keep an eye out for the owls that sit and sing on the electricity poles on an evening. Beautiful sunsets. it really is a lovely place to stay. Village is nice with a good pub and excellent fish and chips from the local shop, also only 10 minutes from Plymouth city center. Good location for visiting the area, Dartmouth and Salcombe a must see. Last but not least lovely friendly hosts who make you very welcome......5***** holiday. Thanks.

“A brilliant location for the South ...”

A brilliant location for the South West Coast Path, we walked sections of it every day from Plymouth to Brixham. We also had several walks on our doorstep, the Estuary walk from the cottage is a must. There is a bus from the location to Plymouth. Wembury, Salcombe & Bigbury and Brixham are all within easy driving distance. This location has a lot to offer, we had a great week.

“Great apartment.”

The cottage is a 1st floor apartment in the grounds of a larger house. It is a lovely apartment, thoughtfully furnished and equipped. The village of Brixton is charming and a great centre for discovering South Devon, Plymouth, Dartmoor, Looe etc. We especially loved our visit to Saltram House and grounds [National Trust], just 20 minutes away by car and a wonderful Beryl Cook exhibition in the Plymouth Council House. The owners were great, welcoming and helpful. The nearest pub,10 minutes walk away, does very good food. We look forward to returning to Northlands and the area.

“Home-like relaxing accommodation.”

My fiancée and I wholeheartedly enjoyed our stay at northlands cottage. Even the large amount or rain couldn't spoil our stay. This cottage is ideally situated for exploring Plymouth, Paignton etc. The building work adjacent to the cottage didn't cause a disturbance which was initially of concern but it did make the drive rather muddy when walking to the local pub. All in all We look forward to our next stay at Northlands cottage to continue our discovery of what Devon and Cornwall has to offer.

The property

This is a delightful first floor cottage within the owners’ grounds situated in the South Hams village of Brixton.

Completely separate from the main house, this spacious and modern holiday home is secured by electric gates with a coded pedestrian side gate for an extra sense of security.

The cottage is ideal for a couple wishing to explore this beautiful and tranquil part of the country.

From the large entrance hall which makes an ideal area for walking boots or surfboards, internal stairs rise up to the first floor accommodation, which feels light, homely and welcoming.

The open plan living room has large bi-fold windows which open out to reveal the glorious surrounding countryside and gives a sense of being amongst nature with its bird song and fresh air.

The king-size bedroom looks south over the front garden.

Outside, the cottage has a large sunny courtyard that wraps around and provides a quiet and private seating area to relax with a drink after a day’s walking, sightseeing or beachcombing.

The village is a short stroll from the cottage where there is a good pub, shop, restaurant, fish and chip shop and easy access to some fabulous walks, in particular along the Erme-Plym Trail following the beautiful estuary and Cofflete Creek.

In this South Hams area, visitors really are spoilt for choice of popular sandy beaches, including Bovisand and Wembury, the latter being a National Trust treasure renowned for rock pooling, or Jennycliff with a well-known café having spectacular views across Plymouth Sound.

For anyone who can tear themselves away from this idyllic location, the charming towns of Modbury, Salcombe and Kingsbridge are all close by, whilst Plymouth, Dartmouth and the wild open spaces of Dartmoor are also all within easy reach.

With a variety of activities for walkers and beach lovers, this is a fabulous romantic stay for two.
