What a treat to see the Pilgrim of Brixham sailing past Meadfoot beach as we sat with a coffee! Built in 1895, she’s an enthralling sight cruising around the bay.

She followed us home, and we enjoyed the views from our garden too!

Wow! Brixham is a ‘must’ if you’re exploring this area of South Devon!

Home to the upcoming Pirate Festival!

Check out stories for a few more highlights of this pretty fishing port. We took the ferry from Torquay, saw the steam train puffing past on the cliff, enjoyed crabbing and seal- watching, stone skimming, clambering over rocks, fish and chips - and ice cream! Is there a more perfect day?!

Hanging in the room at the top of the house is ‘Message in a Bottle’.

This beautiful original painting harbours a secret, and this weekend the most delightful visitor, little miss M, discovered the hidden message!

Although blue sky can’t be guaranteed when staying at Thorpe Lodge, the floral displays and Ferris wheel are on show rain or shine!

This was the beginning of our walk to Cockington yesterday, where we revisited The Drum - fast becoming a favourite destination. Gorgeous thatched cottages, a water wheel and the rhododendron walk by the lakes. Then a late lunch at Offshore next to Torquay Marina. A wonderful day!

Yesterday the ladder was up and strings of solar lights hung - it looked so pretty as the sun went down and twinkly bulbs came on!

We have a lovely family coming to stay in a few day’s time… they plan on visiting lots of local beaches, and we want to be able to recommend somewhere a little special!

So lunch today was taken at the stunning Ansteys Cove, where welcomed the boys so enthusiastically! Much fun was had scrambling over rocks, dodging spray and picking a couple of wild garlic leaves to add to tonight’s risotto 🤗 Added to a seal sighting and delicious ice cream, it was a pretty awesome jaunt and one we can share with our guests!

Finishing touches as we prepare to welcome lovely guests to Thorpe Lodge. Cushions plumped, music playing and a pomegranate atop the fruit bowl!
