The details
Be enchanted by The Dragons Nest, a totally unique property in Brixham that has an interesting design or style detail around every corner. Children and adults alike will be delighted at this Devon getaway that mixes magic and fantasy into its very essence.
Taking its name from the two baby dragon sculptures on the chimney stack, there is truly inspired design throughout this one-of-a-kind holiday escape in the South West. With its central location in the town, this four-storey house has stunning views across the harbour and to the bay beyond.
Upon entering The Dragons Nest from the street, guests walk straight into the hub which is a spacious open plan kitchen and dining area. With a six burner double oven, large fridge/freezer, and plenty of pots, pans, crockery, and glassware, there is everything needed to cook up a feast. The focal point of the dining area is the large fireplace with chestnut roasting tray, while the large table, wood panelled walls and leather sofa gives it a feeling of rich luxury. There is also a utility room and a smart bathroom and WC.
Stairs lead up to the first floor and the lounge, complete with its two sofas, games, books, TV, and music system to keep those of all ages entertained along with the master bathroom with a super-luxurious roll top bath and walk-in shower. The first of two master bedrooms is also on this level, complete with an en suite. On the second floor landing is a traditional rocking horse, and just long from here is the second master bedroom with another comfy king size bed. There's also the Captain's Cabin with a nice built-in 3/4 double bed. In keeping with Dragons Nest's quirky nature, up on the second floor you'll find a backdoor which takes you outside to a lovely terrace and the private, elevated lawn garden with views over the harbour - perfect for a picnic or evening drink.
At the top of the building is the attic. This is an open plan space with a double bed, sofa bed, pull out single bed, and its own private WC to save any night time trips downstairs.
A short walk leads to the harbour itself with its array of shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. The Shoalstone outdoor pool and famous fish market are also popular spots in town. Guests are sure to enjoy a wonderful seaside break at this delightful property perched on the harbour's edge.

Wonderful historic house slap-bang in the centre of Brixham. There were 6 of us staying, ranging from 2yrs to 62. Parking is pretty straightforward, with one space provided on the harbour front (a tight fit!) and a car park about 10 minutes walk from the house. There is a loading-bay very close to the house which proved useful when un-loading and loading! We found the highlight of the house was the fabulous sitting-room and the accompanying view of the harbour. Also, two of the garden ‘levels’ have great views, if the weather’s being kind enough to enjoy them (we were lucky - it didn’t rain too much and there was plenty of sunshine) Everything kitchen-wise is provided and the house furniture is comfortable. We enjoyed the central location of the house - everything is easily within walking distance, including a good range of eateries and pubs, along with a Co-op. For our one out-of-Brixham meal we went to The Creek pizza restaurant at Galmpton - no ordinary pizza place - it was superb. Nick & Lynn were very quick to answer the odd query and also dropped us a note during the stay to see how we were getting on etc. 5 stars well deserved!
