A secret gem! High Hopes is a Grade II listed sailors loft on one of the oldest streets in Brixham with a unique outdoor space and stunning harbour views.

This 2 bed / 2 bathroom property places you in the heart of the town with views of the inner harbour that stretch right round to the Breakwater and the colour washed cottages beyond.

Enjoy the privacy and seclusion within the fully enclosed garden, or take the very short walk into town to further explore.

This 2 bed, 2 bathroom property is arranged over two levels. Having undergone a refurbishment both inside and outside in November 2019, High Hopes now offers all the modern comforts we know our guests love.

The bay window of the open plan lounge and kitchen/diner draws you in with waterside views of the Golden Hind so close you can almost reach out and touch the boats. You will feel like you have your own box at the theatre as you look out and enjoy the sounds of Brixham Town Band playing under the Old Fish Market in summer evenings, smell the gunpowder as the pirates re-enact a skirmish on board the Golden Hind during Pirates weekend and stay warm whilst watching the beautiful fireworks at Lantern Lights and 'Luminations.  

When the fresh sea air and morning sun beckons, watch the goings on in 'Fishtown' from the garden which enjoys a feeling of seclusion. Brixham’s harbour and town centre is within very short walking distance and you will find the heritage site of Berry Head National Nature Reserve via the South West Coast Path, and ferry boats that take passengers the short journey across the bay to Torquay throughout the year. So park up the car and explore. For cosy days in you will find an HD TV complete with Freeview, BBC iPlayer and Netflix to keep all generations happy. There’s even a collection of books, games and jigsaws for those evenings that are about unwinding. 

After a day exploring the local delights and filling your lungs full of fresh sea air, the open plan lounge and kitchen/diner provides a great social space whether travelling as a family or with friends.
