Proudly situated above Brixham Harbour, The White House is a charming fisherman’s cottage that offers sweeping panoramic sea views across the bay, and provides an unbeatable location for a pet-friendly seaside holiday.
The property sleeps four guests and is a short stroll away from Brixham’s picturesque harbour, boutique shops, fantastic galleries and numerous restaurants and bars.
The bright open plan lounge and dining area offers wonderful views over the harbour, perfect for relaxing and eating whilst admiring the scenery, or snuggling up on chillier nights to watch the lights of the town twinkling outside.
Upstairs is a family bathroom with a shower over the full-size bath, a wash basin, and a WC.
Two bedrooms lead off the hallway: a twin room with an original fireplace and the master king-size room, again featuring an original fireplace and offering more stunning views of the vibrant fishing port.
The well-equipped kitchen is downstairs at the rear of the cottage, and provides access via the courtyard to an impressive terraced garden.
Steep steps lead to different levels where guests can enjoy breakfast whilst watching the harbour come to life, or relax with a glass of wine whilst watching the sun set in the evening.
Do make sure to listen for the fabulous bells of All Saints Church, which play Abide By Me every evening, and echo beautifully around the town.
The garden gate at the top of the garden leads on to a convenient road, where parking is unrestricted, and a medium sized Co-Op is a five minutes walk away.
Brixham has an abundance of attractions to offer: beautiful coves and beaches, such as Fishcombe Cove or Breakwater Beach; swimming in the Art Deco seawater Shoalstone Pool; crabbing in the harbour; and a life-size replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship: The Golden Hind.
Why not adventure on foot (or five minutes drive) to the unbeatable Berry Head Nature Reserve, where early birds can watch the sunrise over the sea, spot dolphins, and indulge in a tasty breakfast at the highly rated Guardhouse Cafe.
Guests are spoiled for choice with the town’s culinary offerings: from fresh off the boat seafood and award-winning fish and chips to international cuisines ranging from Mediterranean to Thai food.
For adventures further afield: catch the ferry across to famous Torquay or around the bay to Dartmouth; ride in style on the steam train from nearby Paignton; take the family to Goodrington’s popular water park, or visit local National Trust properties Coleton Fishacre and Greenway (Agatha Christie’s former home).
The White House provides an ideal location for guests to relax and enjoy a holiday within the outstanding English Riviera.
