How to get there

Brixham is within easy reach of international links - 1 hr from either Exeter airport or Plymouth ferry to the continent. Trains from across the country generally require a change at Exeter or Newton Abbot to get to Paignton. The Dawlish route is spectacular though!There are also many bus/coach services (such as Stagecoach) across the country that come to/ via Brixham, and these are generally more frequent in the summer.Postcode is TQ5 9AH.By car from London can be either M4 / M5 but I prefer the A303 apart from peak holiday season as you have much better views such as Stonehenge.Changeover Time; for most properties is generally a Saturday between 10am and 3pm, so be aware that, especially in high season, traffic will be heavier at these times. If coming from north of Brixham, get to Exeter, then A38 till Splatford Split when you take the A380 up Telegraph Hill, signposted to Torbay and Newton Abbot. Continue on the A380 until it becomes the A3022 near Paignton Zoo, and just keep following signs to Brixham. Once in Brixham follow the signs to Breakwater car park, then keep following the road towards Shoalstone (and Berry Head Hotel). On the left, less than a mile from town centre there is a row of stone former Coastguard Cottages. Sealark Cottage is the last semi-detached cottage. If you reach Shoalstone car park, you have gone too far!

Getting around

Being on the level, the easiest way to see the sights of Brixham from Sealark Cottage is to walk. However the local bus stops a short distance down the road taking you direct to Brixham town centre at approx quarter to every hour, and via a slightly longer route at quarter past every hour. It does a circular route so you can just sit on the bus and tour Brixham. Stagecoach do a variety of tickets eg dayrider which covers most of the local buses. Additional buses run on the summer. In the Town Centre are buses which connect to most tourist attractions across the Bay, and further afield eg Plymouth, but most holiday makers will take the ferry to Paignton, Torquay or Dartmouth to give a more relaxed viewpoint.
