About this property

Harbour View Fisherman’s Cottage, great location - with Parking

Wake up to sweeping harbour views and the gentle sounds of fishing boats from this charming fisherman’s cottage, perfectly positioned just moments from the water. Tucked away in a quiet passage yet only a 1-minute stroll to Brixham Harbour, Tradewinds offers a rare combination of peaceful seclusion and central convenience.

This characterful cottage is full of charm, featuring exposed beams, stone walls and nautical touches that reflect its coastal heritage. Both bedrooms enjoy beautiful harbour and sea views, creating a memorable setting for your stay.

Step outside to two private patio areas—ideal for morning coffee or relaxing after a day exploring the coast. Everything is within easy walking distance, including the waterfront, cafés, restaurants, shops and ferry connections to Dartmouth, Torquay and Paignton.

Guests also benefit from a private parking space on Southern Quay (across the harbour), with additional parking options available nearby if required.

Tradewinds is an ideal base for couples, families or walkers looking to enjoy the English Riviera from a central yet peaceful setting.

Perfect holiday stay

Trade wind is right in the harbour with shops and restaurants also on the doorstep. It was a perfect place to unwind. It is a quaint fishing cottage with a nautical theme and lots of original features. There’s a lovely cosy atmosphere. The views from the main bedroom are amazing. We felt right at home here and would love to return.

Excellent location, fantastic cottage and wonderful welcome!

We have stayed at many VRBOs over the years and this is definitely one of our top ones. The cottage has a great location for accessing everything Brixham has to offer. The cottage is tastefully and beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a relaxed holiday. Add to this the warm welcome we received from the hosts with homemade scones, jam and cream and you have the makings of a perfect holiday.

We had a wonderful stay. It's a beautifully presented cottage. The best we've ever rented in Brixham The kitchen is well equipped for 4 & more. The twin & double rooms have very comfortable pillows and mattresses. The free internet is good. Staircases from the kitchen upto the 3 other floors are fairly steeper but typical of these cottages. However the bannisters and handrails make the process easier. Many thanks to Jo & Lee for a wonderful stay.

While the steps inside and out might be a challenge, the cottage was worth it in my opinion. Charming and well-equipped, Trade Winds is right in the heart of the port and close to buses, shops, and restaurants. It was a pleasure to stay here.

We are really happy that you loved our cottage and it’s location. We are so sorry that there was a noise from the boiler that we were unaware of. If you stay in any accommodation/holiday let please do let the owners know ASAP so the issue can be remedied and your holiday not disturbed. The issue with the plumbing has now been sorted.

Trade Winds

The property was set near to the harbour and close to road and car parks (also Rock Fish). Very enjoyable stay, and Brixham is a nicely chilled resort. Weather a bit changeable and more like late Spring than early Summer. Only downside was the conflicting stories of whether the tap water in the area had been flushed out of its germ which was giving people in the locality s & d, and whether the harbour area was 'clear'. Assurances that it was by hosts and some of the restaurants, but then an area near the harbour was still giving out bottled water to the public and officials of SW water were waffling. But that and 1 day of heavy rain were the only drawbacks. Certainly want to come back another time, could be a regular thing.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jun, 2024
Thank you Brian for your kind review. Regarding the water the area of Brixham down by the harbour was never affected by the bug, it was just put on notice to boil as a precaution. South West water are giving out water in the area as some areas of Brixham are still on notice to boil.

Quaint Brixham Cottage

Loved our week at Trade Winds. The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything you could possibly need. Superb views from the top floor bedroom window of Brixham harbour, even binoculars are provided. Good directions from the owners on how to get to the cottage and good advice to pre-book 8 day Torbay council parking permit which we were able to use in Brixham/Paignton/Torquay. We hope to stay again in the future. Thank you Tradewinds.

About the host

Hosted by Jo and Lee Oldfield

Host profile image
We’re Jo and Lee Oldfield and love welcoming guests to Tradewinds Cottage. We moved to Brixham when Jo began teaching Science and quickly fell in love with the town and harbour. Lee, a stained glass artist, renovated our 300-year-old cottage, and we love the charm of Brixham’s historic homes. Tradewinds’ quirky layout and harbour views captured our hearts, and we enjoy sharing it with guests, making every stay comfortable. As locals, we’re happy to offer tips on beaches, walks, and hidden gems.

Why they chose this property

My family are originally from Torbay and so I spent much of my childhood visiting the area, visiting local beaches, swimming in the sea, walking along the coastal paths and on the moors as well as watching the wildlife. I always knew that I would eventually return to Torbay and was fortunate enough to be able to do so.

What makes this property unique

Trade winds is a unique, quirky and characterful fisherman’s cottage only 1 minutes walk to the harbour in Brixham.

The cottage is cosy and very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen.

The views of the harbour and sea from the top bedrooms are stunning and there are window seats where you can pass to time of day watching the boats or simply read a book.

Free parking is available 5 minutes walk from the cottage. Parking is also available at Oxen cove car park and permits can be purchased on arrival. ( 4 day pass £29 or 8 day pass £52)
