1800s Fisherman's Cottage near Brixham Harbour

Tucked away just moments from Brixham harbour, Palm Cott is a beautifully updated period-style fisherman’s cottage that blends coastal charm with modern comfort. As one of the most characterful Brixham holiday homes, it offers a peaceful and well-connected base for exploring the town’s historic streets, vibrant harbour, and the surrounding beauty of the South Devon coast.

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.

The entire property and front and rear decking areas.

Originally built in the 1800s for local quarrymen, this delightful, terraced cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a welcoming retreat for up to four guests, and one small, well-behaved dog is also welcome.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a warm and inviting living space, complete with a bespoke oak kitchen and comfortable lounge area. A wood-burning stove adds to the cosy cottage atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for relaxing after a day by the sea.

Upstairs, the property features two stylish bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The master bedroom includes a spacious double bed, wardrobe, and a comfy reading chair, while the second bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements, set as either a king-sized bed or two singles (twins are standard unless otherwise requested). The bathroom is tastefully finished with a shower, basin and WC.

Palm Cott also stands out among Brixham holiday homes for its fantastic outdoor spaces. To the rear, a two-tiered decked area invites you to unwind with a drink in the sunshine or enjoy an alfresco dinner under the stars. At the front of the property, a private patio with a table and chairs provides the perfect setting for a morning coffee or quiet moment watching the world go by.

Situated just a stone’s throw from the harbour and all Brixham’s local amenities including independent shops, seafood restaurants and waterfront walks, Palm Cott offers everything you need for a relaxing or adventure-filled stay. Whether you’re exploring the South West Coast Path, hopping on a boat trip, or simply soaking up the town’s maritime heritage, this is the ideal home away from home.

If you're looking for Brixham holiday homes that combine history, style and location, Palm Cott is a perfect choice for couples, families or small groups seeking a memorable South Devon escape.

Ten minute walk to the harbour and town centre.

Dogs:
If you’d like to bring more than one dog, please get in touch before booking as we may be able to accommodate you. We do ask that you respect the furniture and do not leave a dog alone unattended in the house.

Parking:
Shared street parking available but not guaranteed.

Beds:
Unless advised otherwise ahead of an arrival, the two singles will be as they are. They can be zip & linked if required but we must be advised in good time.

Note:
The steps from the rear entrance up to the gate at the top of the decking can be steep so not suited to anyone with mobility issues.

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.
