It’s suddenly springtime in Brixham!

It’s beginning to look a lot like …

The Torbay Tourist authority have just released some video and photos from Brixham Pirate Festival... and if you are very quick, you can "just about" see us - the yellow house to the left of the chap's piratey hat* at the 10 second mark !

(* OK, being geeky we think it may be a Navy hat, rather than a Pirate one... but who's counting after a day on the rum in the sun down in Brixham eh?!)

As autumn seems to be stretching out into November (so far!), here’s a few shots of one of beautiful evenings we enjoyed during our last “pre-winter maintenance” trip a couple of weeks ago.

A little bit of excitement this week as The English Riviera featured the view from our top floor en-suite bedroom balcony in this post on their page - but using a link to a different booking agency to the one we actually use!

Luckily they corrected it very promptly, and the post now has a link that points to our site - where you can actually book and check availability (through our agent the award-winning Luxury Coastal) as well.

All publicity is good publicity we guess !

Amazing sunsets over The Bay this evening

A nice article on the Guardian website today about some of the nearby attractions and destinations around Torbay. Sandridge Barton Wines, Stoke Gabriel, Greeway House, Paignton, the Dartmouth Steam Railway and Torquay's Agatha Christie heritage all get a mention.

Of course it goes without saying that we're a great base from which to visit all of them !

Mystery, history, unbeatable views and delicious local produce await in this idyllic corner of south-west England, which can be explored by foot, ferry, steam train and bus

The English Riviera Tourism Co have taken some great photos of Brixham to showcase the area - so we thought we'd share them with you as well!

Although of course, none of them have changed our opinion that the very best views of Brixham can still be seen from the balcony of The Captain's Cottage :-)

And don't forget - we still have one week in August available for you to stay with us and take in all of these views first hand..!
