Admirals

This beautiful property can be found perched above the bay in the pretty Furzeham area of Brixham. Wonderfully positioned to enjoy the best of the town, the cottage is within easy reach of the vibrant quay and harbour in one direction and Battery Gardens and Fishcombe Cove in the other, so for families or groups of friends it’s the perfect place for a holiday!

Set over three floors, Admirals pairs contemporary coast-inspired décor with original period features like an Arts and Crafts fireplace and decorative tiles, stripped wood flooring, dipped oak doors and ceiling roses with chandeliers. On the ground floor there’s a gorgeous living room with big bay windows and a spacious, fully equipped modern kitchen with breakfast bar and seating. A large separate dining room with chunky wood table and seating flows through to the sun room where guests can relax with a cup of coffee and a good book, while the furnished garden to the back of the property is a wonderful place for barbecues and fresh air entertaining. Bright and airy throughout, blue hues on the walls nod to the tones of the surrounding sea, and tasteful furniture pieces, ornaments and artwork add interest and character to each room.

Upstairs on the first floor is the family bathroom and a cloak room, as well as two lovely bedrooms, a light and spacious double and fabulous king. Both are light-filled and beautifully styled, with big beds, superior mattresses and sumptuous soft furnishings, with the king featuring two elegant armchairs as well as a massive bay window. A further two bedrooms can be found on the top floor (which is accessed up a narrow flight of stairs) and these comprise a roomy twin and a second king which has distant sea views.

Admirals sits just a short stroll from Furzeham Green, which is great if you’re travelling with children or four-legged members of the family. The fish quay is just a few minutes’ walk down from the property and here you’ll find a wealth of fantastic restaurants like Rock Fish, Alberos and Simply Fish (to name but a few). The Golden Hind replica which rests in the harbour is a fascinating find for anyone interested in the pirate ships of old, and guests who wish to see some of the best sunsets in Devon will be able to stroll along the Marina and Breakwater where the views over the bay are simply out of this world.
