About Brixham Town Holidays Brixham Town Holidays is an independent, family-run business operating two self-catering holiday cottages in Brixham harbour, Devon. Both cottages are personally owned and managed by Annie and Andrew, who have run holiday lets in Brixham since 2012. The business is not an agency, not a chain, and not a marketing front for a larger operator — guests book direct with the owners. Brixham sits on the southern tip of Torbay (the "English Riviera") between Torquay and Dartmouth, on the south Devon coast. It is best known for being home to England's largest fish market, the Golden Hind replica galleon, Berry Head Nature Reserve, Shoalstone Pool free outdoor sea-water lido, the South West Coast Path, and the annual Brixham Pirate Festival.
