2 Fishermans Loft

Brixham's working harbour is the setting for 2 Fishermans Loft, a second-floor apartment that sits directly above the water's edge. The Golden Hind replica dominates the view from the windows. Restaurants, pubs and shops line the harbour front, most of them within a few minutes' walk. The fishing boats unload their catch daily into the market below, which opens at 6am for tours and fresh seafood breakfasts. A breakwater run at sunrise is a local habit worth adopting.

The flat sleeps four across two bedrooms: a double with an ensuite shower and a smaller bedroom with bunks. Both have Juliet balconies overlooking the harbour. The open-plan living area combines a sitting room, dining space and kitchen, all arranged to make the most of that water-facing aspect. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking—oven, hob, dishwasher and microwave included. Heating, electricity, Wi-Fi and bed linen are all provided. The whole property is yours alone; smoking is not permitted.

The location suits anyone wanting to be in the thick of a working fishing town rather than set back from it. Parking permits are available locally. Check-in is after 4pm and checkout before 10am.
