“16/08/25-23/08/25 Hidden Treasure is exactly what it says.”

Beautiful little place overlooking the harbour of Brixham with amenities in a short walking distance. Hidden Treasure itself is a comfortable place to stay, bed was lovely, shower amazing and we cooked a couple of times which was very easy with the facilities they had. Sam had left a bottle of wine and a box of treasures which was very much appreciated. Brixham has a brilliant bus service if you want to venture out and about in other areas so you don’t need to use you car. Car stayed in the on site parking the whole week, most places don’t have a dedicated car space so a real bonus. Brixham has some beautiful coastal walks for exploring. All in all Hidden Treasure is the perfect place to to stay in Brixham, it’s a little gem and a credit to Sam and Darren. This was our second visit to Hidden Treasure and definitely won’t be the last. Thank you Sam and Darren for a fantastic stay. Jason and Karen x

“Hidden Treasure is in a very convenient spot for a visit to Brixham and surrounding area.”

It is in a steep part of the town and takes advantage of the view from the outside sitting area. I found it very clean and comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were considerate and helpful, and the weather was great.A very relaxing place for a holiday.

- Jennifer, August 2025

“Loved our stay.”

Convenient for all the Brixham amineties. Very clean accommodation with a super comfy bed. The directions given to us by Sykes needs to be updated. There is a more direct route to the accommodation that doesn't take you through all the narrow streets.

- Jan, June 2025

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad you had a lovely holiday! I’m sorry to hear there was some difficulty finding the property. We do offer all guests a short video that shows the easiest way to find us, that we send in advance of your stay. Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Sam & Darren Property Owner

“Comfortable and relaxing location.”

Hidden away with fantastic harbour views. Brilliantly comfortable bed , hot showers. Can cater easily , good oven. But lots of restaurants and takeaways. Car parking spot at hidden treasure is a godsend

Antony May 2025

“We very much appreciated the video and instructions which made it easy to find the accommodation.”

Hidden Treasure is comfortable and given its size well laid out and equipped. Its location and parking space so near to the harbour was great. Sam and Darren were very helpful and friendly - thank you for the wine and goodies.

- Antony, May 2025

Hi Anthony & Christine, So pleased all was good at Hidden Treasure & you had a lovely holiday. Hopefully see you again soon! Sam & Darren Property Owner
Lisa May 2025

“The outside seating has an amazing view!”

And is very peaceful! Was easy to walk to central brixham were there was plenty to see and do ! Easy to get to the bus if you want to go to surrounding areas ! The only problem we had was the bed was damp the whole weekend apart from that we very much enjoyed are stay There was tea coffee milk and a bottle of wine on arrival

- Lisa, May 2025

Hi Lisa, Glad you had a lovely stay. Thankyou for pointing out about the bed we take all feedback very seriously as we strive to make everyone’s stay as comfortable as possible. We will definitely look into the ‘damp’ bed situation as we cannot think what it could be and the weather hasn’t even been bad to cause any dampness in the property. Property Owner

“Hidden Treasure is handily placed for walking into the centre of Brixham and gives you an excellent base for the immediate surrounding area with it's wealth of National Trust properties, heritage railways and ferry services on the River Dart (in season).”

Slightly further afield is Dartmoor and the many attractions that are available. The owners are responsive to any requests.

- Clive, November 2024
David September 2024

“This is the second time at Hidden Treasure and it is exactly what the name describes it as.”

The property is perfect for a couple, it is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The views of the harbour from the table and chairs outside is great, especially if the weather is good for an outside breakfast. There are hills and steps for getting to the town and back but as I am in my 70s I found no problems, anywhere in this area is up and down. Would not hesitate to use Hidden Treasure again.

- David, September 2024
Mark September 2024

“Great place to stay is definitely a hidden treasure that needs to be found by many!”

Carolyn July 2024

“Thankyou for the little extras and wine, nice little studio, comfy bed, very good shower, sofa uncomfortable but we only sat out evenings looking over harbour which was nice, very dusty smell when we arrived which was not nice as it was strong, there were wet clothes under the sink which I threw away.”

But every day when we come back it smelt very damp and fusty, could do with some standing air fresh ners around, all in all we had a lovely week in Devon didn’t cook there, driving in and out a bit of a nightmare plus the road out from the studio was shut, quite expensive for it we thought although everywhere is to be near the sea ☹️

- Carolyn, July 2024
Cheryl June 2024

“Fabulous setting with the bonus of a parking space.”

It's a compact property but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bed is extremely comfortable and the outside seating, although small, was perfect for enjoying the evening watching the harbour. The sofa is not designed for comfort or lounging but thankfully we didn't need to use it much as the weather was in our favour. The mini oven and hob are only really sufficient to heat things through as opposed to actual cooking but there are plenty of places to eat out nearby. The shower is very good but the shower room is extremely narrow so there's not much room for manoeuvre. Brixham is a lovely place and we wouldn't hesitate to return. The property owners sent us a handy video showing the access to the property and its parking space and left a generous welcome pack including tea, coffee and fresh milk for our arrival as well as a few treats ( and a bottle of wine!)

- Cheryl, June 2024
David June 2024

“Brixham is a wonderful harbour town, and hidden treasure a great spot to stay with harbour views, also great communication with owners who were really helpful.”

Highly recommend.

- David, June 2024
John June 2024

“Good location with easy car parking close to property.”

View across part of the harbour from very small outside terrace. Comfortable bed but no comfortable seating for relaxing. The owners were very helpful and the 'treasure box' a nice idea. Ideal for those spending most of the day out after a good night's sleep and an al-fresco breakfast overlooking the sea. Whilst we found the property a bit small and basic, this is fully reflected in its economical rental price.

- John, June 2024
Ann March 2024

“'Hidden Treasure' is an absolute diamond!”

We arrived early evening to a fantastic sunset and an array of lights that shone across the harbour, the view was absolutely stunning! A beautiful studio apartment that has been well thought out. Everything that you need; lovely and clean, a thoughtful welcome gift from the proprietors, a secluded patio area, peace, tranquillity and amazing views, also an absolute must a parking space!! what more could you ask for? The property is well situated with access to walks, town, shops, beaches and magnificent surrounding areas to visit. Our first trip to 'Beautiful Brixham' but definitely not our last!

- Ann, March 2024

Thank you so much for this lovely review, it’s good to know we are doing things right! Property Owner
Brian March 2024

“The Hidden Treasures lived up to its name as it was not easy to find.”

The details on how to find the property should be revised to correct the errors. The property was conveniently located to reach the centre of Brixham where there were a number of good restaurants and coffee shops. The property was suitable for a stay in better weather when the view of the harbour could be appreciated

- Brian, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback, it really is appreciated. Sorry to hear you found it hard to find, I did send you a video on WhatsApp which clearly shows how to find the property and exactly where to park but you couldn’t of seen it as this makes it very easy to find. Thanks Sam & Darren Property Owner
Katherine October 2023

“Hidden Treasure is thoughtfully and ingeniously designed to offer a comfortable place to stay and enjoy Brixham.”

All comments on the excellent shower, the comfortable bed, the treats and helpful hosts are accurate - the parking video was especially helpful. The sofa is not the comfiest sadly but it's a challenging space to fill. There are so many excellent places to eat in Brixham that I didn't take up the challenge of using the 2 ring hob!!

- Katherine, October 2023
Cara August 2023

“Ideally situated with stunning views of the harbour.”

A small well equipped property with all you need.

- Cara, August 2023
Colin August 2023

“It's an amazing place to stay.”

Clean,comfy, ideal location, and every care taken to make you feel at home. The cottage is five minutes walk away from the main street but very quiet. I spent a lot of the holiday reading my book on the terrace outside the apartment - very relaxing. Friendly neighbours and amazing hosts. We only met Sam once but knew they were at the end of a phone if needed. Highly recommended

- Colin, August 2023
Sarah August 2023

“It's a lovley cosy little place with a fantastic view off your little veranda, gorgeous sitting watching the sunrise !”

! Very central and gr8 little car park at the bk , the only thing I would say as long as its a small car !! Streets are very narrow and hilly ! I would come bk and stay again, very comfy bed , and a gr8 shower room .loved it

- Sarah, August 2023
Jean July 2023

“Hidden Treasure was a very nice place to stay.”

Short walk into Brixham, and came with a parking space which is essential, as Brixham is difficult for parking. The only problem I had was the settee, which was so uncomfortable to sit on, as well as the chair in the bed area. Some comfortable seating is essential. Apart from that I had a very enjoyable holiday.

- Jean, July 2023
Carolyn June 2023

“A hidden gem.”

All you need for a weeks break in Brixham and surrounding area.

- Carolyn, June 2023
Anthony June 2023

“The property was in a great position, overlooking the harbour and only 5 minutes to get down there.”

The sitting out area was an absolute bonus and also being on one floor was ideal for anyone with slight climbing problems ie no stairs. Good shower and bathroom facilities.

- Anthony, June 2023
Janice June 2023

“We had a good time at HiddenTreasure Brixham, great harbour views from the studio apartment but, a bit more outside space would have meant we could have spent more time enjoying the views and doing some reading enjoying a coffee and cake etc.”

I think the owners were amenable to us using their garden space during week days when they are working after we approached them as they appreciated we left it very clean and tidy however, this would be discretionary of course. An important point is the studio is on a hill that’s great but good mobility is important to enjoy this studio location to the full.

- Janice, June 2023
Gillian May 2023

“Our second visit to Hidden Treasure and we had another lovely holiday with the added bonus of glorious weather.”

We have already booked for next year. Thank you to Sam and Darren for their attention to detail. Gillian and David Fuller.

- Gillian, May 2023
Barbara May 2023

“Hidden treasure was a delight we really enjoyed our stay.”

It was easy to get to Paignton and to Torquay with lots to see and do. I would recommend a stay in Hidden Treasure

- Barbara, May 2023
Claudette May 2023

“The property was very cold there were radiators but they did not appear to come on.”

About 10.00 pm at night they would attempt to come on but remained lukewarm at the top and cold at the bottom. There was an electric heater but you had to sit right on top of it to feel any warmth. Sofa was very uncomfortable. Bed however was extremely comfortable and the shower was excellent.

- Claudette, May 2023

Hi Claudette, thank you for your feedback which we always take on board. The heating is set to come on 8am-11am and again 4pm-10pm however it will only come on if the temperature in Hidden Treasure drops below 19 degrees but if you would have contacted us as it says in the book we would of happily turned it up, unfortunately we didn’t hear from you so we didn’t know. Sam & Darren Property Owner
David April 2023

“Fantastic property for our first visit to Brixham (and first holiday without the kids in over 20 years).”

Perfect for our needs, the property was well maintained & extremely clean and, the little 'extras' were a lovely touch. The small patio overlooked the working Harbour and it was time well spent sat there with a book & a drink. I would definitely return to 'Hidden Treasure' and recommend both Brixham & the property.

- David, April 2023
Susan April 2023

“Loved the view pity we only sat out once because of the weather.”

We were very cold but better when heating on. On the whole clean until stripping the bed then we found it was all very badly stained.

- Susan, April 2023

Hi Susan, thank you for your feedback which we always take every comment on board. The mattress is less than 3 years old. At the start of every season we buy a brand new mattress protector & it was only replaced in February. We wash the mattress protector every week so its always clean for our new guests, please accept our apologies if you feel it was not up to standard. Sam & Darren Property Owner
Paul April 2023

“Had a cosy and wonderful 7 days.”

Hidden Treasure is indeed a treasure. Small but compact and wonderfully set out with everything you need plus lots of personal extras. A bottle of Prosecco awaiting us, plus tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, milk, chocolates and crisps all in a wonderful Treasure Chest. Lots of seaside memorabilia and trinkets added that personal touch. Sam and Darren thought of everything, including a video of the easiest way to get to the property, plus a car parking space to ensure the perfect relaxing holiday. The weather was kind to us for our week long stay with a perfect view of Brixham harbour every morning to start the day. Would recommend eating at The Curious Kitchen, fantastic brunches and staff, plus The Old Market House, again fantastic food and staff who made us very welcome. Also worth a visit, Brixham Maid close to the Curious Kitchen, to get some of the most delicious homemade jams, pickles and chutneys and a friendly service. Would definitely recommend Hidden Treasure and hope to return one day. Paul and Diane

“The flat was very clean and almost everything you could need has been supplied.”

The location is great and the parking space a real bonus. I feel the flat would benefit from a few more power points. A double socket by the dining table so you could use a laptop or just for charging a phone. Another one by the kettle, cooker area as there are 4 appliances and only 1 double socket. There are not many channels on the tv so maybe an upgrade is required or just a retune. I only have basic freeview at home but get lots more channels. Some more outside lighting would help as it was quite dark along path into the property. The central heating only comes on at certain times of the day. There are no heating controls in the flat, its controlled by the owners. There is an oil filled radiator in the flat that can be used as and when required. These are my opinions and others may be very happy with the setup and all the things i have mentioned, meant in a constructive way, may not be a issue for them. Overall i had a good time in Brixham and surrounding area.

Elaine December 2022

“This is an ideal holiday home for a couple.”

We were delighted to find out that it was in a historic property. From the listing we weren't sure if it was a modern apartment. It had great charm and the limited space had been arranged really well. The views from the window above the kitchen sink were stunning. Having a parking space is a real bonus. We didn't move the car all week as it was so easy and quick to walk down to the town centre and there was so much to see and do. The bed, pillows and duvet were incredibly comfortable and the shower room was sparklingly clean and the shower was powerful and hot water was plentiful. The owners had thought of many little touches which meant we were short of nothing. We would definitely stay again.

- Elaine, December 2022
Patrick December 2022

“A fantastic, cozy and warm getaway with a beautiful view of the Barbour.”

We’ll worth a visit if you’re looking for a break in Bruxham

Sue November 2022

“Either Sam or Darren had the brilliant idea to send us a video prior to our leaving home showing how to find the parking place available behind ‘Hidden Treasure’.”

Instead of an unwanted tour around Brixham courtesy of the satnav we drove straight in!! How sensible!! The wine (they even messaged to find our preference) was a delightful touch and indicative of the care they take of their guests. The property and its accessories were in good order and we would thoroughly recommend a stay in this pleasant apartment that offers such delightful views over the harbour and the town. Would also recommend a meal or two at ‘Rockfish’!!! Phil and Sue.

- Sue, November 2022
John October 2022

“A really comfortable place for a couple to stay just above the Harbour in lovely Brixham.”

Sam and Darren made sure everything was perfect from start to finish and having a parking space was a real bonus in such a central location. Communication regarding our booking was excellent and we couldn't fault Sykes for the way they handled our holiday.

- John, October 2022
Paul October 2022

“Lovely apartment lives up to its name and is well looked after to a good standard by the owners, was nice to be able to sit outside each morning and have breakfast with the views over the harbour.”

lots of lovely walks around the harbour and surrounding areas big plus in having a parking space, would definitely book again. just what we needed a chilled out week in a lovely place.

- Paul, October 2022
Sarah September 2022

“Absolutely fantastic little place to stay.”

Great view of the harbour, ideally situated. Brixham is beautiful with plenty of fantastic restaurants. We parked the car up for most of the week and did plenty of walking. Bus service is great to get out and about and we used the ferry service. Little treasure is cosy and comfortable for couples, it's well looked after and it was an absolute pleasure to stay there.

- Sarah, September 2022
Paul September 2022

“A lovely little property situated over looking the harbour with beautiful views, very close to the shops,restaurants, cafe's, the property was very clean comfortable and peaceful.”

- Paul, September 2022
Pam September 2022

“Superb communication - probably the best ever - and even included a video journey from the harbourfront so we could find the cottage easily.”

It really is a Hidden Treasure with everything you could need and a view to die for over Brixham. It's comfortable, clean and the welcome letter made us feel like good friends. Take good shoes with you for the walk down to the harbour and you'll have a wonderful holiday!

- Pam, September 2022
Michelle September 2022

“We had a fabulous week at Hidden treasure .”

The accommodation was very close to all the shops , pubs , restaurants. The parking spot was definitely a bonus . The small outdoor area was a little gem , with lovely views and seating that fit under shelter so when it rained ( and it rained alot ) we could still sit outside with a glass of wine and watch the boats in the harbour. Lots of lovely walks from the door step and of course , fishing …. Mackerel was in abundance, the local seals had breakfast straight from our fishing line . We had a really lovely week and didn’t want to leave . I would highly recommend to family and friends.,

- Michelle, September 2022
Dean August 2022

“Fantastic location and loved the view.”

We had a amazing stay and would definitely be coming back. Bottle of wine when we arrived was a lovely touch and very nice. The mattress was so comfortable and both of us slept amazing the whole time. The property had everything we needed for a weeks stay. 10/10 thank you

- Dean, August 2022
Jason August 2022

“20/08/22-27/08/22 Our stay at Hidden Treasure was one of the best places we have stayed at.”

The view from the patio was amazing overlooking the Harbour and we were literally 5 minutes walk into the Harbour where all the main action is. Hidden Treasure had everything thing you needed for a stay and I would highly recommend a visit to this lovely little property. And thank to the owners for the Wine and the Treasure chest. The location is ideal if you want to visit other places and I would highly recommend the walk to Paignton along the Coastal path, amazing scenery. We will definitely be back sometime.

- Jason, August 2022
Dianne August 2022

“What a superb apartment, with a great view from the outdoor seating area of the harbour below.”

Easily accessible to all amenities provided you are fit and able as there are steep climbs. It is a good base to explore other places, with a good bus service you are able to leave the car parked up for the week. I would highly recommend this accommodation

- Dianne, August 2022
Ann July 2022

“The property was everything it said it would be, small but everything you needed.”

Short walk to town and lots of places to eat and drink. Unfortunately my husband had a fall getting out of the shower on our first night there, our holiday was cut short only stayed 2 nights, A&E and a broken rib later. Brixham is a lovely place, we were given directions to the property and a small hamper which was great, parking was a must, quite small if you have a big car. Hope to come back we didn’t see much of it and I was absolutely gutted.

- Ann, July 2022
Frederick July 2022

“Stayed for 7 nights.”

Lovely little property with modern and clean facilities, although would benefit from fresh outdoor table and chairs and somewhere you could hang your clothes other than an open rail. Sam and Darren who run the place are a great couple who welcomed us with a bottle of wine of our choice, and were quick to replace the kettle which we didn't realize was a problem. Overall we had a great week and would hopefully return again in the future .

- Frederick, July 2022
Micheal July 2022

“Pictures advertised on sykes Web site not the same not a very good view from patio different from pictures also patio furniture different rusty.”

Carpet was stained, wall by cooker stained, settee very uncomfortable, parking very tight very hillie not any good for disabled was not told that in sykes advert which should have been. Kettle was leaking. Apart from that we had a good holiday.

- Micheal, July 2022
Ian July 2022

“We had a beautiful week with fabulous weather.”

Absolutely loved Brixham. It is a cosy, friendly town, very scenic and has some good restaurants. Walks to Berry Head; a ferry trip to Torquay; a boat trip out into the bay to get up close with dolphins; watching the trawlers come back with their catch; a trip to Agatha Christie’s summer home by car and river ferry; a play in Paignton; exploring the replica Golden Hind ship; lovely local ice creams; fish and chip suppers, and a great Thai meal — these were all highlights of our week. The cottage is very bijou but has most things you need for a week’s stay. It’s best to eat out, as preparation and cooking space is minimal: a good excuse for not cooking! It is close to the harbour (if uphill!), and has a lovely sea view. Many thanks to Sam and Darren for allowing us to share their Hidden Treasure, and for the welcoming bottle of wine.

- Ian, July 2022
Tony July 2022

“We had a great week.”

The apartment was great. Very clean and cosy.It was lovely to sit out on the veranda each morning to have breakfast. It felt very private and has a lovely view. We would definately come again. The treasure chest and wine was a lovely welcome.

- Tony, July 2022
Julia June 2022

“What a 'Hidden Treasure' this is!”

A beautiful, clean, homely cottage overlooking the harbour. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and we will definitely be coming back. The bed is lovely and comfy, everything you need is provided in the kitchen and a great shower in the bathroom. Not too far a walk down to the shops and harbour where there are plenty of pubs and restaurants. Sam sent us texts and information about the location and also left us a lovely bottle of wine and a treasure chest. Thanks again, we definitely recommend this home from home.

- Julia, June 2022
Gillian May 2022

“Hidden Treasure is certainly a hidden gem.”

Our stay was perfect with everything you could want provided, with extra little touches. Parking was a bonus and made our visit complete .With a beautiful view and good weather, what more could you want .We booked another visit for next year before we left our holiday accommodation. Very grateful for the photo and instructions for locating the property and parking. Thank you Sam and Darren. From Gillian and David.

Michael April 2022

“Hidden Treasure is a cozy and delightful apartment.”

Close enough to the seafront/harbour to walk down to, but far enough away to not be disturbed when Brixham is busy. Lovely view of the harbour from the kitchen. Sam and Darren have provided the perfect little hideaway in a lovely seaside location. Hesitant to over enthuse too much in case it makes Hidden Treasure that popular it makes getting booked in again difficult. Would like to keep it as our "Secret Hidden Treasure". So, Hidden Treasure shhhhh! M&G

- Michael, April 2022
Mark April 2022

“Perfect location and very comfortable accommodation with everything you need for a week.”

We used it as a base for exploring the area. So much to do around this coast! If you did want to eat in the accomodation it has all the facilities. We tend to eat out when away and especially in Brixham as there was so much choice all within walking distance. The accomation was a 3 minute walk to the harbour. It really was a bonus having the parking space so we didn't need to worry about trying to find somewhere to park. On the first day the satnav took us to the property up the smallest of roads but we soon found a better way in. We didn't need to contact the owners during our stay but it was a nice touch that they shared their number in case of any problems. They also left a very welcomed bottle of wine and tea/coffee making bits too. Overall I would recommend this as very good value for where you are located and the parking space included. Brixham was so much better than we expected too and the surrounding areas (we walked to Paignton along the coast path and Berry head in the other direction , visited Dartmouth, Salcombe, Torquay, national trust places; Greenway, Coleton fishacre, Compton castle and Overbecks) Thankyou!

- Mark, April 2022
Bridgitte March 2022

Jim March 2022

“Hidden Treasure is the perfect description !”

An ideal location. Next to the harbour and very peaceful. We've just returned after a few days at the Hidden Treasure and during our stay the weather was more than a bit "chilly". However the cottage was snug and welcoming. We'll certainly return.

- Jim, March 2022
Steven January 2022

“Studio apartment as described.”

A great central location above the harbour in Brixham, yet private and convenient, just minutes from the harbour side’s cafes shops and restaurants. We would recommend this holiday accommodation and its careful preparation by the owners.

- Steven, January 2022
Robert January 2022

“Marvellous!”

Hidden Treasure lives up to it’s name. A very special place with fantastic views of Brixham Harbour.

- Robert, January 2022
Ray January 2022

“This property is tucked away in the narrow streets above Brixham Harbour.”

Once the car is parked off road behind the premises it is easy to forget about using it. The town is very walkable and easy to explore. The tiny front porch has room for table and two chairs and it's a good place to sit in the sun and watch the port coming to life. It is also possible (with binoculars) to see the resident grey seals swimming around the pontoons and resting up during the day. Some lovely walks and trips out using it for a base. The walk up to Berry Head is easy and rewarding. Three out of four visits there resulted in views of Harbour Porpoise and Common Dolphins from the cliff top. Also the cliff top restaurant is good place to stop off for a breakfast. 'Hidden Treasure' was well equipped and offered warm and cosy comfort for our January stay. The owners were easily contacted and quick to reply to any queries. The property was spotless on our arrival and there were some nice touches added to make you feel welcome. No hesitation in returning soon.

“Lovely little apartment, just a few mins walk into town.”

We where made very welcome with some nice little touches such as a bottle of wine and milk / tea bags and coffee. Great views from the outdoor seating area overlooking Brixham. The parking space was a real bonus and great WiFi. Thank you for a lovely week.

- Terry, November 2021
Lee November 2021

“This was an amazing find.”

A beautiful little cottage. Right on the harbour with a lovely view. Sat out the front in the evening looking at the boats. Although central to everything it was incredibly quiet. The cottage had everything you may need including iron ironing board and hair dryer as well as all kitchen utensils. It was immaculately clean and there was also a little box of goodies in case you needed them .. toothbrush, sewing kit, plasters and moisturiser and shower gel. Bonus was the parking too. We didn't use the car much as it was right in the center of town. Would definately go again !

- Lee, November 2021

Secondly the cottage, Hidden Treasure, was exactly that. This is a lovely little place, tucked away amongst lovely flowers pots overlooking Brixham harbour. How great it was to get up each morning to look out window, or sit in patio and look out at cruise ships sitting in the bay. The views at night of the lit up harbour are just as stunning. The facilities are just what you need, and if you don't want to cook, like me, there are numerous places to get snacks, lunch and dinner within walking distance. Having a parking space is a real bonus as well. This is truly a hidden gem and we will surely return whenever we can.

“From our journey to Hidden Treasures we received some lovely communication in regards getting there and parking up which helped.”

We where greeted with a lovely bottle of wine and milk. Our stay was lovely, better than expected as the place truly was an Hidden treasure. Everything (and above) that was needed, was there. It was superbly looked after by the lovely owners. In regards the area, everything was in walking distance (I would recommend flat shoes!) The walks in the surrounding area are gorgeous. All in all we have a fabulous staycation and would highly recommend.

“Stayed here 31st July - 7th August What a find this place was.”

Presented well and very clean, along. Great location, tucked away from the busy harbour but only a 2min walk away. Would highly recommend Hidden Treasure, and looks a lot better in person. What a little gem this was, would book again without hesitation :)

“Hidden Treasure is a gorgeous little cottage, with everything you need for a comfortable stay.”

We did not tire of the lovely harbour views. The car parking is not only a bonus but a must in Brixham. Brixham is a short stroll away which has a nice harbour and good restaurants, especially recommend Beamers and Prince William excellent fish. Claws in the Harbour is a seafood treat !! Owners are always available for any help, but not intrusive. Would highly recommend this cottage.

“Had a wonderful week.”

Weather Very kind. Amazing views and really comfortable cottage, small but everything we needed. Nice touches including the Treasure Chest and 'forgotten box'. Used public transport to get out and about, really good service. Have no hesitation in recommending this property. Had a couple of small problems but they were sorted out immediately. All you have to do is contact Sam or Darren.

“We had an enjoyable week and the accommodation was ideally situated in Brixham with great views of the harbour and the benefit of a parking space for the car.”

Our only issue was with the shower which was difficult to turn on and off for those of us with arthritis.

“We had a fantastic week in hidden treasure Brixham.”

The apartment was spotlessly clean and the little extras and wine was a welcoming treat. The owner was very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The view is to die for. Absolutely beautiful. We will be definitely booking here again. loved the little seating area outside too..If you want a perfect apartment within easy walking distance to the harbour and bars/cafes/shops then this is the place to stay. The benefit of having parking sold it for us too.

“Hidden Treasure was BRILLIANT!”

The accommodation was compact and bijou but with everything you needed. So close to the quayside it only takes 5 minutes to get there and the off-road parking is an added bonus especially in Brixham. The owner Sam was easy to contact (and seemed to like my terrible jokes!) and always made sure everything was OK. P.s. The bed was so comfy i almost managed to steal it but was told to put it back!!! I would definitely stay here again no question

The property

Resting in the popular coastal town of Brixham is this lovely studio apartment, Hidden Treasure, offering a snug retreat for a couple to spend a relaxing break in this quaint fishing town.

Following a short stroll up the hill from the harbour, come to find this apartment at the end of a delightful terrace and get settled in.

Come in from days on the beach to the open-plan living space, and relax on the sofa as a bottle of wine is opened and a toast is made to your holiday adventures.

Rustle up a quick dish using the useful kitchen space, where a mini oven and 2-ring hob can assist you in producing a tasty meal to be eaten out on your own private patio overlooking the harbour below, an idyllic way to end another wonderful day.

Retire to the bedroom where a double bed awaits behind a screen, decorated in crisp white with attractive furnishings to match where you can store your things.

Freshen up in the shower room where a shower cubicle, basin and WC provide a neat spot to wash away the sand and sea water.

Find Brixham to be a perfect fusion of old and new, where an abundance of independent shops, restaurants and pubs sit alongside the quaint fishing harbour and you can watch the trawlers landing their catch.

On the edge of Brixham is Shoalstone Beach, home to an outdoor seawater swimming pool, built into the rocky foreshore; spend sunny days here lounging on the beach or dipping in the seawater pool, relishing the English summer.

Resting further south close to the mouth of the River Dart is the wonderful National Trust property Coleton Fishacre House & Gardens, a 1920s house providing a lovely day out, with amazing exotic gardens to explore.

Within reach of the superb town of Dartmouth too, Hidden Treasure will be a perfect base for a couple's adventures in Devon.

About the location

BRIXHAM

Dartmouth 5 miles; Paignton 6 miles; Torquay 8 miles.

Brixham is a working fishing harbour located on the southern side of Torbay, the area known as The English Riviera, famed for its sunny mild climate all year round. The focal point of the harbour is a life size replica of The Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake’s ship. The prettiest part of Brixham has small cottages in hilly narrow winding lanes leading to the harbour where all the activity is centred. Home to Britain’s largest fishing fleet which regularly lands their catch in the harbour, Brixham fish market sells to major restaurants in the UK. Brixham is the ideal destination for a traditional holiday with many family attractions around Torbay including two Blue Flag beaches, Paignton Zoo and many regattas and maritime events throughout the year. There are a host of safe cycle trails in the area, the South West Coastal Path and some of the best golf courses in the region. A good mix of relaxation or action, to suit all ages, where you are never far from the sea.
