About this cottage rental

With exposed stone walls, wooden flooring and accentuation, and a classic wood-burner, Front Row Cottage provides a unique literary charm — perfect for curling up with a book — and a true escape to the country. The property features scenic views of both harbour and sea, with binoculars for further enhancement to watch the ships sail in and out of one of Britain's most valuable fishing ports. Natural light highlights lovable quirks such as the property's stained-glass front door.

Each bedroom comes with its own private bathroom, both with clean contemporary tiled shower areas and circular countertop basins. On the top floor, you'll also find a roll-top bath for those preferring a relaxing soak. This is a family friendly property, providing a travel cot and a high chair, and has plentiful storage space including a downstairs cloakroom.

Convenient parking on the harbourside and the property's premier location on King Street keeps guests on the pulse of all the fish town's action while curating an individual peace for you and yours. Cook a hearty meal in the open concept kitchen or walk a minute or two to one of Brixham's outstanding restaurants before winding down for the evening with one of the large provided TVs.

Great location in Brixham, clean, comfortable, everything within walking distance in the town centre. Some great restaurants, bars and pubs. Amazing view of the harbour and the bay across to Torquay. We’ve stayed in Brixham before, but a bit further out, this was perfect

Beautiful little cottage in great location and spectacular views from all rooms. Depending on time of day or year road can be busy and noisy although the cottageitself is well sound insulated. Fantastic little veranda to sit on (but you will have to switch off to the traffic(we managed to with a wine in hand))

PROs The location of the cottage was fabulous, the private parking space on the harbour was a god send, the cottage was cosy, the bed was comfy and the bed linen and pillows were good. The towels were thick and clean. CONs The cottage was overall very "grubby". There were quite a lot of cobwebs and it felt like no one had been in for quite some time other than to make the beds and leave clean towels and the bathroom had a very musty smell. We had to weed and wipe down the outside area otherwise we would not have been able to sit out. It is a very small area but again was in dire need of some TLC. The rear outside areas were awful, whilst these are not accessible from the cottage they are part of it and can be seen from both the kitchen and the bathroom. Dirty rusty furniture, debris and weeds were not very nice to look at. Whilst I do not expect a weeks supply of toilet roll I would expect one per bathroom. Not a problem as we had ordered some in our Tesco delivery. The blinds were cheap ikea blinds and very stiff and difficult to open. Overall the cottage was lovely and the views and location fantastic but definitely let down by the overall location.

We have stayed at the Front Row Cottage a few times and love it for its location and cosy feel. We wanted to stay over new year to just sit with the fire on and watch the boats coming and going. When we arrived we found the property to be a little un clean and it felt like the property hadn’t been cleaned for a while, we spent the first couple of hours cleaning the fire out, coffee or tea stains all up the banisters and cleaning the kitchen area. This was a bit disappointing as not what we had expected to be needed on arrival. During our stay we also felt there was a bad smell in the middle floor bathroom that was quite unbearable, it was like a bad drain smell and i tried all sorts to get rid of the smell but no luck. Not a deal breaker but just a bit un pleasant. I don’t want to seem like we are manning just disappointed.

Lovely place to stay very comfortable a few essentials would have been nice some hand soap , bleach . Sink plunger as the plumbing is little slow new Hoover bag in Henrietta maybe being a little picky but washer dryer would be nice as jeans took two days to dry but would definitely stay again as beautiful part of the world and comfortably cottage in perfect location

Brixham is the most beautiful harbour both day and night. The views from the cottage windows are worth the cost of the cottage hire! Well equipped kitchen, but we took our own oven gloves as had been before. Wonderfully powerful shower, there is a deep bath on the top floor but we did not use this. Plenty of wardrobe space and cupboards. TVs in both bedrooms, but did not use these as the views from the window were awesome! Stairs up to the top bedroom are very steep and the treads are quite narrow. There are a couple of steps up from the kitchen to the downstairs toilet and high steps at the front access. A massive plus for this property is the dedicated parking space along the harbour below the cottage. However there are quite a few steps up to the cottage from the harbour. You get used to them after a few days. There are local shops within minutes of walking from the cottage. Bay Coffee Company on the opposite side of the harbour to the cottage did the best lattes and staff so friendly! Lots of fish and chip shops / restaurants available, local pubs including the very traditional Blue Anchor….tried the local Adela BM79 gin, fantastic! We visited in the winter and the cottage was very cosy and warm and has a wood burner in the front room. Only slight criticism was the mattress on the first floor bed was a little uncomfortable as the springs kept pinging when turning in bed, but I’m sure this is something the owners can rectify. All in all we loved staying at Front Row Cottage and will be returning for our 3rd year in 2024. Highly recommend! Brixham is a place you won’t want to leave and will draw you back again and again.

Superb cottage that met our needs very well as both double rooms were en suite and equally spacious with stunning views over the harbour and far down the coast to Torquay. The living area has the same wonderful views and two large sofas so everyone can sit in comfort. The kitchen was large and well equipped. We sat outside to eat fish and chips on a couple of sunny evenings. The car parking, shops and restaurants are a few minutes walk away, all in all a fabulous find in Brixham
