A holiday in Brixham is more than just a visit to a fishing town; it’s an experience filled with arts, culture, history, and delicious food. From the comfort of our Brixham holiday cottages, you can explore everything this vibrant seaside town has to offer.
At the centre of it all lies Brixham’s bustling harbour, where historic trawlers share space with modern fishing boats. Each day’s fresh catch is delivered straight to England’s renowned Seafood Coast, supplying local restaurants with some of the finest seafood in the country. Whether you’re dining out or bringing back a delicious takeaway, enjoy your meal in the relaxed comfort of one of our Brixham holiday cottages.
One of Brixham’s most iconic events is the annual Pirate Festival. Originally created in 2007 to add life to a quiet bank holiday weekend, it has grown into a major celebration, drawing visitors from far and wide. From historic ships and live reenactments to family-friendly activities and live music from local bands, it’s a must-see event – especially when you’re staying in one of our conveniently located Brixham holiday cottages.
Dive into the town’s rich heritage by visiting the Brixham Heritage Museum or stop by Artist’s Corner on The Strand, where local artists create stunning works right before your eyes. It’s the perfect place to pick up a unique keepsake while enjoying your stay at one of our Brixham holiday cottages.
For those seeking outdoor adventure, Brixham offers plenty. Take a refreshing swim at Shoalstone Pool, a seawater lido set against the beautiful backdrop of the coast. Hike through Berry Head National Nature Reserve for panoramic views over Tor Bay, or explore the decks of The Golden Hind – a full-size replica of Sir Francis Drake’s ship. After a day of discovery, return to one of our cosy Brixham holiday cottages to unwind and relive the day’s adventures.
