A selection of sofas and armchairs in a vibrant colour palette encourages you to kick back and relax whilst sharing stories with your loved ones while on holiday. The kitchen/diner is spacious, with built-in appliances and plenty of surface space to cook up a storm for the family, with a six-seater dining table where everyone can gather around. Down a few steps is one of the three tasteful bedrooms, furnished with a double bed and a standalone WC for convenience.

Along the South Devon coast, there are a whole host of beaches for you to visit on your holidays, including Broadsands Beach (4 miles), Goodrington Beach (4 miles) and Paignton Beach (6 miles). Whilst visiting Paignton you could take a trip to the local zoo to see more than 2,000 species of animals across the 80-acre attraction, a great day out for those of all ages. Further inland, the mysterious moorland of Dartmoor National Park (17 miles) offers up a whole host of walking trails and wild swimming spots with 160 tours dotted across the rugged terrain.

Pirate’s View has fantastic views over Brixham town and the harbour. It’s elevated, so is accessible by many steep steps or a steep slope; I therefore wouldn’t recommend to the less mobile - we loved the exercise though. Parking is an issue, as it’s limited and the streets are very narrow, but besides that everything else was excellent. The house is modern and styled nicely with all mod cons and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Brixham is a friendly fishing town with nice dog welcoming restaurants and pubs. The coastal walks are beautiful, very hilly if you want to venture down to the coves, but well worth it. Salcombe and Dartmouth are worth visiting. Use the ferry to cross the estuary as the journey round is long and slow. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pirate’s View and would recommend it to most people wanting to visit Brixham.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pirates Retreat and will definitely be returning. We were really comfortable there and it felt like home from home.

Cottage had a damp smell as you walked in the front door and when you went into both downstairs bedrooms,we asked for a twin room but they were all double rooms but this was sorted with a phone call to the maintenance team ,the grout on the tiles in the en-suite shower was very dirty with mold which I pointed out to the cleaners and they sorted very quickly ,there’s a lovely big rug in the living room but was full of dog hair and we didn’t take our dog this time other than thes small things everything was perfect,only other downside was we didn’t realise how many steps we had to walk down to get to the town and parking isn’t good
