Tucked away on the picturesque and historic Higher Street, just a short stroll from Brixham’s vibrant harbour, Pilchard Cottage is a beautifully restored one-bedroom Grade II listed fisherman’s cottage, once a pilchard store and now an exceptional coastal retreat.

While there is no dedicated parking, residents and visitors can make use of the town centre car park just a short walk away, or find on-street parking on nearby roads.
