Rosedale Cottage

There’s room for everyone at Rosedale Cottage, a detached holiday home in Brixham where days can be spent exploring the South Devon coast and evenings can end with the log burner on and everyone settled in.

The cottage sleeps six across three upstairs bedrooms: two king-size rooms and a twin room with full-size single beds. The main bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, while the main bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower. Downstairs, a generous dining room with a farmhouse-style table gives everyone space to sit down together, and the modern kitchen is equipped for proper self-catering.

Outside, the large garden is a real feature. Find a spot in the hammock, let the children play or enjoy a relaxed meal outdoors. There’s a barbecue area for charcoal barbecues, although guests need to bring their own barbecue.

Rosedale is also a thoughtful choice for a dog-friendly break. Up to two well-behaved dogs can stay without an additional charge. The owners ask that dogs aren’t left alone in the cottage and that guests clean up after them in the garden, helping keep the space pleasant for everyone.

The location makes it easy to enjoy Brixham without staying in the middle of the harbour bustle. The harbour, marina and waterfront are less than a mile away, with cafés, pubs and restaurants to discover. For a walk with a wilder feel, head to Berry Head National Nature Reserve, where dramatic headland scenery, coastal paths and the lighthouse make a memorable outing. St Mary’s Bay and Mansands are also nearby options for dog-friendly beach days.

With off-road parking for two cars and a chargeable EV charger, Rosedale Cottage suits families or friends looking for space to unwind between days out on the English Riviera.
