Description

Welcome to Hope Cottage, an enchanting 1850s fisherman's retreat nestled in the heart of Brixham's exclusive harbour bowl, mere moments from the water’s edge. This lovingly restored gem exudes timeless charm, providing a perfect blend of historic elegance and modern comfort. With two beautifully appointed living rooms, it's an idyllic sanctuary to unwind after a day spent exploring the picturesque town and its stunning coastline. Outside, an inviting courtyard offers an intimate setting for alfresco dining, perfect for cosy evenings. Accommodating up to 6 guests (with a maximum of 4 adults), Hope Cottage is perfectly situated to immerse yourself in the vibrancy of central Brixham.

As you step through the charming stable door, a hallmark of Brixham’s architectural heritage, you are greeted by a welcoming living space. The first of two lounges invites you to sink into plush seating by the glow of a crackling log burner, the ideal spot for a glass of wine and relaxed conversation. Adjacent to this is a second lounge, thoughtfully designed with ample seating for up to six guests, a flat-screen TV, and a delightful dining nook set in a characterful alcove, perfect for intimate gatherings around the table.

The galley kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances and all the essentials for culinary creativity, offers the perfect opportunity to savour fresh, local ingredients. Afterward, step out into the serene courtyard garden, accessed through the kitchen, and enjoy an after-dinner drink under the stars.

Upstairs, the first floor features two exquisitely restored bedrooms, each thoughtfully enhanced with bespoke window shutters and lovingly preserved original wood flooring. The upper level unveils a newly updated bathroom with contemporary finishes and a charming third bedroom with twin beds, offering a peaceful retreat. For added luxury, new carpets were laid throughout the stairs and landing in 2022, ensuring ultimate comfort at every step.

Hope Cottage offers a truly elevated coastal escape, where history, comfort, and indulgence come together to create an unforgettable stay.

Local information — Discover Brixham

Famous for its working harbour, colourful hillside cottages and thriving arts scene, Brixham is one of the UK’s busiest fishing ports—and a brilliant base for coastal adventures.

Art & culture
Browse independent galleries showcasing local talent and visiting exhibitions; stroll along The Strand and you’ll often see artists at work. The town museum and guided coastal tours bring Brixham’s maritime story to life.

History & heritage
Step aboard the full-size replica of The Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake’s Tudor galleon, and explore all five decks—great for families and history fans alike.

Food & drink
Expect outstanding seafood straight from the market, alongside excellent butchers, greengrocers and bakeries supplying the town’s cafés, pubs and restaurants. From fish and chips on the quay to special-occasion dining, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Walks & wildlife
Pick up the South West Coast Path for dramatic headlands, hidden coves and sea views as far as your legs will take you. Don’t miss Berry Head National Nature Reserve for lighthouse vistas and seasonal wildlife.

Family days out
Within a short drive you’ve got Paignton Zoo, the Dartmouth Steam Railway, and Splashdown @ Quay West—easy crowd-pleasers for all ages.

Whether you’re here for coastal walks, fresh seafood or gallery-hopping, Brixham serves up classic seaside charm with plenty to do year-round.
