About this property

Character Cottage Moments from Brixham Harbour

Step out of the door and into the heart of Brixham, harbour life, coastal walks and cosy cottage charm await.
Originally built in the 1800s, this beautifully renovated fisherman’s cottage offers a warm and welcoming retreat for up to four guests, just moments from the harbour. With characterful interiors, inviting outdoor spaces and a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings, it’s the ideal base for couples, families or friends seeking a relaxed South Devon escape. Furry friends welcome.

Here at Your Devon Escape we intend to leave you alone to enjoy your visit but we are on hand to assist with queries if required.

You will find Brixham Harbour a ten-minute walk away which is home to plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants serving today’s catch straight from the bay. Enjoy paddle boarding on the nearby Breakwater Beach or swim in the Shoalstone Outdoor Pool.

Brixham is a favourite all year round for dog lovers and walkers alike. The coastline at Brixham is dominated by one of the UK’s greatest and best-loved nature trails – The South West Coast Path. Just down the road (via the number 18 bus or a ten-minute drive) is Kingswear. Hop on the steam train to Paignton, Churston and Totnes from here. Or take the upper or lower ferry across to Dartmouth; this is simply a must. The ferry from Brixham Harbour takes thirty-minutes to Torquay where there are excellent restaurants, beautiful coastal walks and great beaches.

Why You’ll Love Staying Here:

- Historic character: A beautifully renovated 1800s cottage originally built for local quarrymen.
- Cosy & welcoming: Wood-burning stove, comfortable lounge and bespoke oak kitchen.
- Perfect for four: Two flexible bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
- Dog friendly: One small, well-behaved dog welcome.
- Fantastic outdoor space: Two-tiered rear deck plus a private front patio.
- Moments from the harbour: Walk to Brixham Harbour, coastal paths, shops and restaurants.

Originally built in the 1800s for local quarrymen, Palm Cott is a charming terraced cottage that has been thoughtfully renovated to create a welcoming coastal retreat for up to four guests. Full of character and comfort, it’s an ideal base for couples, families or friends, and one small, well-behaved dog is welcome to join you.

Step inside to a cosy and inviting living space where traditional charm meets modern touches. The bespoke oak kitchen is well equipped for relaxed holiday cooking, while the comfortable lounge is perfect for unwinding after a day by the sea. On cooler evenings, the wood-burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere, ideal for curling up with a book or a glass of wine.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two well-presented bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. The main bedroom features a generous double bed, wardrobe and a comfortable chair for quiet moments. The second bedroom is flexible to suit your stay, arranged as either a king-size bed or twin singles (twins as standard unless requested). The modern bathroom includes a shower, basin and WC.

One of Palm Cott’s real highlights is its outdoor space. To the rear, a delightful two-tiered decked area provides a peaceful spot for alfresco dining, evening drinks or soaking up the sunshine. At the front, a private patio with table and chairs is perfect for morning coffee as the town gently comes to life.

Just moments from Brixham Harbour, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy everything this vibrant seaside town has to offer, from independent shops and excellent seafood restaurants to scenic coastal walks and boat trips. Whether you’re exploring the South West Coast Path, discovering the harbour, or simply embracing the slower pace of coastal life, Palm Cott offers a true home-from-home experience.

If you’re seeking a Brixham holiday cottage that blends history, comfort and an exceptional location, Palm Cott is a wonderful choice for a memorable South Devon escape.

Thanks for a lovely stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Palm Cott. Directions for access were clear. The cottage was well-furnished and the beds were super comfy. We were grateful for the fans as the heatwave meant it got a bit stuffy at night! Kitchen was small but laid out well and had almost everything you need. We did think the addition of a veg peeler and cheese grater would be good. Everything worked well and we felt very at home.
