Pebblestones

Set in Brixham with views across the harbour, this two-bedroom cottage sleeps four and suits couples or small families. Entry is via an external flight of steps at the front of the property, so it is worth bearing in mind for anyone with limited mobility. Children should be supervised on the steep external stairs that also lead up to the rear garden.

The open-plan lounge, dining room and kitchen make the ground floor sociable and practical. A Rangemaster cooker and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and coffee machine are all provided in the kitchen, which also benefits from underfloor heating. The lounge has an open fire with a first basket of logs supplied, a Smart TV and a selection of board games. A large window frames the harbour view, and a window seat in the king-size bedroom makes the most of the same outlook. The twin room sits alongside it, and a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower unit serves both rooms.

Outside, a paved patio with a bench sits at the top of the steep external steps at the rear and provides a quiet spot away from the street. A table and bench at the front of the property add a second seating option. The rear garden is enclosed. Parking is on-street or in nearby public car parks, subject to availability, and there is no dedicated space.

A travel cot and highchair are available for families with young children. Shops and pubs are around 300 metres away, and dogs are not accepted at this property.
