Located in the English Riviera town of Brixham and is just a short walk from the harbour. The town has a long standing maritime history and the harbour remains the heart of it, offering visitors a choice of boat trips, from relaxing tours of Torbay, accompanied fishing trips and a regular service across the bay to the resort town of Torquay. There is plenty to see and do, from beaches and restaurants and even a fascinating replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship, The Golden Hind. Further afield, the towns of Paignton and Torquay are also popular destinations with visitors, and other attractions include the golden sandy beaches, a zoo, an aquarium and a wonderful steam railway which runs through the Dart Valley.

On entering this newly refurbished three-storey property, you will find yourself on the first floor which consists of two bedrooms, a utility cupboard and the family bathroom. The first of the two bedrooms on this floor is a light and airy twin zip-and-link (which can be made into a super-king-size on request), the second bedroom is a double which offers views over Brixham. The utility cupboard offers a washing machine. Completing this floor is the bathroom, which offers a shower over bath and WC. Heading on up to the second floor you will find the snug, where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular views over Brixham. Finishing this floor is the master bedroom, a spacious room which consists of a king-size bed, Smart TV and an en-suite shower room with shower and WC. Heading down the stairs to the ground floor you are greeted by the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, the fabulous lounge area allows you to sit back and relax amongst the rich, soft furnishings and watch your favourite programme on the Smart TV or just enjoy a catch up with family and friends. The wonderful open-plan kitchen/diner is the perfect back drop for catching up whilst cooking up a storm in the delightful kitchen area. The kitchen offers an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

My two friends and I had a wonderful stay at Skippers. The cottage had all that we needed. We had a double bedroom each, plenty of both towels and loo paper. The showers are excellent and there's hot water on tap all day and night. The two doggies also had a lovely time.

A very comfortable cottage that we'd happily stay in again. The location is great with the harbour and shops very easily accessed. Some steps and inclines in Brixham are par for the course. Furzeham Green just up Station Hill was perfect for the dogs.
